The chart there is deceptive—to be fair, we should be showing 1 and 5 percentile as well. Saying “walking around a mall you might encounter a few decamillionaires” is shifting focus from the fact that 1 in 10 people are experiencing near zero net worth and the bottom 1 percentile likely are suffering way more than the top 1 percent are enjoying their riches.

When there's such a large and obvious profit disincentive, we should probably question whether its a capabilities problem or a willful ignorance problem.

They’re getting salty about it for sure because it’s a breach of their privacy.

Speaking from experience, I find budgeting spreadsheets to be a great usecase for this.

I wish there were a video of this linked from the research paper.

1.693T of 1.777T (~95%) is student loans from the federal government (the Federal Student Aid—FSA arm of the Department of Education).

The issue is that the executive branch still has prosecutorial power with impeachment as one of the only remaining checks against that (if I’m understanding correctly).

There’s still lots of places for tech to make a meaningful impact but acceptable risk tolerance is much stricter due to tax law shifts and VC funding strictness due to higher interest rates.

> Key Advantages: [...] Can provide supportive evidence for VPN/proxy usage, when the latency is too high for all server locations

I'm reading through the description, but I'm having trouble understanding the difference between a client having a higher overall latency due to bandwidth/connectivity concerns (e.g. a 3G phone) versus using a VPN. Both would have increased timings and the clock skew would be similar. Would both would be considered too high for proof of location?

Pyramid tiling is the general technique used by Google Maps and similar systems to track images as different zoom levels; also similar techniques are used for progressive rendering for example in JPEG 2000.

> So what should you say? Simply remind them that your results, availability, and team spirit make you a reliable actor in the success of the company. Emphasise your future commitment more than your past success. In short, show them that by increasing your salary, they’re investing in a long-term project.

They didn’t put it in a separate section but they do have a bit about what to do at the end.
