I'd argue it's not that you consented, it's that the law states that no consent is required.

And it's hard to call it consent when the alternative is never going in public which is infeasible for most people.

I did this in high school. I hosted an SSH server at home on port 443 so it'd get through the school's filtering, then tunneled in and connected with VNC.

Only time I got yelled at was when the teacher saw the SSH window open and yelled at me for being in the command line. So I changed the colors to black text on a white background and they never said anything again.

That sounds very different than my memory of MUDs. The ones I remember were much more a text-based version of "World of Warcraft" or other similar MMOs where you navigate through a world, complete quests, etc. You could chat with other players but it was more about teaming up for quests than a creative writing/roleplaying exercise.

Not to say that what you're describing didn't exist, but I don't think it was defining feature of all MUDs.

How would this solve the British Columbia issue as described in the article?

Realtors earn commissions as a % of the price a house sells for.

Even if you're renting, it's worth keeping an eye on the humidity and setting up dehumidifiers if it's consistently getting high.

> I read a few years ago about a teacher (I think highschool) who put his lectures on YouTube for students to view in their own time and then used the in class hours for interaction, questions, tests.

That seems like a smart approach. It reverses the traditional model of "lecture in class, homework outside of class".

Pittsburgh International Airport had a program like this for a few years, but it was suspended during Covid and never came back.

I've not worked at Meta, but I was at a similar scale of company for 2 years before being let go. Once you factor in RSUs, they essentially paid double what I've ever made anywhere else. Knowing how volatile those sorts of positions can be, I just saved & invested all the extra, which worked out quite well.

The sun still. It's just that that side never points towards the earth, but it still gets sunlight. Same as how the side we see isn't fully lit except during a full moon.

I read this as "accepting a risk of death in exchange for getting to have the incredible experience of flying to the Moon", not that they want to die.

Do tokens just cover ongoing operating costs, or are they also able to pay back the cost of training that model originally?

Plus you save money on the conductors running to the lights.

Could a chip detect this and reset?
