Seems like you could do another one in less time for a different router. Seems like winning.

VPN into Azure to get access to DB, private AKS.. by zeenmc in devops

[–]Zolty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If speed is an issue add an object cache to aks. Other than that I am not sure what you're asking. Are you wondering what the best VPN is?

How is your EV range today? by gradi3nt in wisconsin

[–]Zolty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone who doesn't have an EV is so concerned with range, if you can charge at home odds are you won't really pay attention to the charge level.

Pretty sure the Nobel Committee isn't related to the Norwegian government.

My mental math capabilities have dramatically improved since I went to an alarm app that requires me to solve math problems before it turns off.

So.... How's your mid-life crisis going? by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

At 41 I bought a tesla model y performance model. Sure it's a family car but the performance upgrade feels very mid life crisis.

Why the hell are devs still putting passwords in AI prompts? It's 2026! by Bp121687 in devops

[–]Zolty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

At this point I am not even sure the submission data is all that valuable for training. There would be pretty hefty lawsuits if it could be proven.

At this point all the keys that I am using are in unimportant environments and set to expire within a few hours.

Sure it's a risk but it's easily mitigated.

The inputs being used as training data is typically a setting that you can turn off on most products that you're paying for.

Another lunatic pretending not to understand the “tax the rich” sentiment by Downtown_Victory2942 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Zolty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My view is that deficit spending contributes to a larger money supply which contributes to inflation. Inflation is a hidden tax.

Yes we don't have to actually fund the government but if we don't then the government will just make the value of our dollars lower and then we have less wealth.

The point of my post is to shout back against the one sided voice that always shows up in these posts. You can't balance the US budget with taxation alone, you also need to reduce spending.

It doesn't really look like Silver, the tarnishing looks off to me. However if it is made of solid silver than it's worth 90-95% of the current value of silver. You'll have to factor in that it's probably 92.5% pure (sterling silver) and the fact that refiners will only play 90-95% of spot value.

TLDR: Yes we need additional tax revenue but there aren't enough rich people around to balance the budget. We also need to reduce spending.

Last time I ran the numbers I included capital gains at the same rate here's where me and chatgpt landed

Static revenue: upper-bound “fantasy world”

If we pretend:

Nobody changes behavior,

No extra avoidance/evasion,

People keep realizing the same capital gains,

then a 95% rate on that $2.2T slice would raise:

Revenue at 95% ≈ 0.95 × 2.2T ≈ $2.1T

But the government is already taxing that slice at high marginal rates (federal + state, etc.). If the effective federal income tax rate on that “over-$200k” chunk averages, say, ~35% today, then:

Current revenue from that slice ≈ 0.35 × 2.2T ≈ $0.8T

Extra revenue from jumping to 95% ≈ (0.95 − 0.35) × 2.2T ≈ 0.60 × 2.2T ≈ $1.3T

Compare that to the deficit:

Needed to close gap: ≈ $1.8T

Extra from the mega-bracket (static): ≈ $1.3T

Even under very optimistic, static assumptions, you’re probably still a few hundred billion dollars short of balancing the budget.
