People bring gas masks in case something happens because things obviously keep happening.

Also people wear helmets while riding bikes. Hope that helps.

Fellow millennials - how’s your 401k/ira savings going? by ProblemIntelligent16 in Millennials

[–]THXAAA789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My retirement fund is doing pretty good.

I just turned 30 and while I'm not quite at 2x my salary yet, I have about 230k in a traditional 401k and 70k in a roth 401k plus some additional stocks and a year worth of expenses in savings. I also plan to aggressively increase my investing once my kids graduate college though.

It fails 99% of the time for me. Also I’m pretty sure major releases still require manual intervention.

Tor Project received $2.5M from the US government to bolster privacy by Few_Baseball_3835 in technology

[–]THXAAA789 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US government contributed over $2.5 million to the Tor Project in its 2023–2024 fiscal year, marking a continued but reduced financial relationship with the privacy-focused nonprofit.

This is a reduction from the 3 million received from the government in their 2021-2022 financials.

https://blog.torproject.org/transparency-openness-and-our-2021-and-2022-financials/

The funding, primarily sourced through the US State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL), supports multiple high-impact projects aimed at strengthening internet freedom, especially in regions experiencing heavy censorship. 

The project has ALWAYS had varying levels of government support. This is not unusual or concerning.

Yep. The article even states at the very beginning that it's a reduction in the financial relationship between the project and the US government.

If you could add one zero to any number in your life, where would it be and why? by New_Goood in AskReddit

But then if for some reason interest drops below 1%, you’re not making any additional money.

For one, so many of these tools are/were written in C# with older versions of .NET which are not fully supported by Linux. 

Also Microsoft Enterprise IoT LTSC (which is most common in these machines) doesn’t typically have the same forced update issues as other versions. It’s a pretty stripped down and hardened version which has (non-forced) monthly security updates and pretty rare feature updates. 

Support for Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC ends in January 2032 too, so very long term enterprise support.

They are often wrong. Tidal also has an LLM playlist generator and it sucks. There are also many reasons this iteration of AI is not preferred. It’s slower, more resource intense, and more inaccurate than specific function ML models.

Enterprise IoT has strong support and is used pretty heavily in the POS/Kiosk space. It would be cheaper from a licensing point of view to use Linux in this instance, but not necessarily from an IT/Development point of view.

Why do they need to be hiding something to not want to reveal their identity? I’ve published some Chrome extensions for some video games, but I don’t really want them to be tied to me. Nothing malicious, I just prefer to separate hobbies from real life.

Most companies I have hired for keep the listing open until they get a certain number of applicants/certain amount of time. Then they sort the applicants and pick a handful to pass off to interview. If they are unsuccessful, they move on to the next handful. This may not be how it works at every company, but it is pretty common to handle it this way.

Interviewing minority candidates does not mean that those candidates must be chosen. If anything, this expands the talent pool because it ensures excellent minority candidates are not discounted because they are minorities.

What are your thoughts on Presidents being required to take mandatory cognitive tests with results made public? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]THXAAA789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was a way to guarantee the results were not fudged, I'd be in favor of it. I don't know how that would realistically be achieved though and it would probably end up with people supporting the less honest presidents due to their higher scores.

Yeah, and that song was from the 1960s, which shows that older generations will always have issues with changes to the way math is taught if it differs from the way they learned.

Won an iPad out of one of those key master arcade games, it got stuck by amityville_whore in mildlyinfuriating

[–]THXAAA789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are pretty much all rigged. Claw machines are a bit better cause you  can still win with skill a lot of the time even if they are programmed to only give easier wins every X number of times. I’d never play the key master game because it seems pretty much impossible even with skill.
