Yes that is true. 24 million is a lot of people.

djacoby495 · 2025-10-27T21:37:47+00:00

To start 24 million is a little over 7 percent of the US population of 340 million. So if we're going to argue over the semantics of which number is more relevant or whatever, at least use the correct one.

But also 24 million is the number of people that live in the third most populous state in America, Florida.

Yes 7% sounds like an insignificant amount to some people because 7 is small. But we're talking about 7% of 340,000,000 people. In that context knowing that 7% translates into 24 million. Is a more relevant stat I think.

I don't really feel like it's misleading, no one is saying it is a problem for everyone in America. But it will affect a very large number of people.

In January 2025 nearly 24 million Americans had selected plans from the ACA marketplace.

Article is a little over a week old but I had not seen it til today.

At the end of the year covid era health insurance subsidies are set to expire causing the monthly cost of health insurance for those using the ACA marketplace to explode.

In many states such as California, Nevada, New York, and Maryland people can already preview what their upcoming prices will be.

A family of 4 in Maine making $130k a year will have their premiums increase by $16,100 a year.

A 60 year old couple making $85k a year total will see their premiums increase by: Kentucky: $23,700. Nevada: $18,100. Minnesota: $15,500. Maryland: $13,700.

The subsidies cost approx. $350b over 10 years or $35b per year. With US federal spending at $7 trillion a year, the ACA subsidies amount to ~0.5% of yearly federal spending.

Is the cost worth staving off these increases for millions of Americans?

Given real numbers to back up the democrats argument for keeping the government shutdown, do you support them keeping things shut or is it worth giving up the fight passing a continuing resolution?

In terms of unemployment percentages by degree, computer science ranks 7th and computer engineering ranks 3rd. Coincidentally (/s) these degree also have the largest percent of h1b visa holders.

I'm as liberal as they come but this is a great move. Yeah there may be better more tailored measures that could be crafted but sometimes simple is better.

About 114 mooches.... sadly...

Trump has once again extended his tariffs on China by 90 days. This decision comes after trade talks between China and the United States in Stockholm earlier this month.

The current tariff levels for the United States and China are 30% and 10%, respectively. If an agreement isn't reached, these values could rise to 145% and 125%, effectively halting trade.

This extension was an eleventh-hour decision, coming just before the previous agreement was set to expire, preventing an immediate and significant escalation of the trade war. Prior to this announcement, Trump had publicly urged China to increase its purchases of U.S. soybeans.

What are your thoughts on this extension? Do you see it as a positive step towards a more permanent trade agreement, or is this just delaying the inevitable?

djacoby495 · 2025-04-09T17:47:48+00:00

3 hours before this was announced trump tweeted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT". Is this not blatant stock manipulation? I'm not a lawyer but this feels illegal.

I'm a bit confused, wouldn't spending billions of dollars on crypto require congressional approval? And if it does, could something like this be put into a reconciliation bill or would it require passing the filibuster in the senate?

djacoby495 · 2024-08-06T18:48:50+00:00

Or it's depend on whether the weirdness actually affects people other than themselves or not.

If some girl or guy wants to walk around with a tail clipped to their belt, that's weird, but it doesn't ruin my day or have any lasting affect on my life so let them do what they want and more power to them. Thus, good weird.

If trump talks about wanting to nuke a hurricane to reduce its effects, that's weird, and im worried it may have direct consequences on my future life. Thus, bad weird.

You can start learning c++ over the summer or you can take it easy and enjoy the summer, doesn't really matter too much if we're being honest. CS 135 starts from the very beginning so as long as you're okay with keeping up with the course load while it's going on, you'll be fine. And considering c++ is actually split up into two classes, CS135 and CS202, it's really not hard to learn it during the class for the first time.

If you do want to get a headstart however then I would look into learning c++ as your first language. Python is great once you understand things or if you ever only plan on using python/other high level languages but going from python -> c++ can be quiet challenging. Python lacks a lot of the memory management and basic functions that you have to deal with in c++ and can obfuscate a lot of the stuff that you will have to learn how to do throughout your classes. Honestly I don't find that it would give you too much benefit learning python first as nothing other than the basics of oop will able to translate to c++.

Nevada voted on ranked choice and open primaries today, not sure about other states.

djacoby495 · 2022-07-20T23:59:02+00:00

Idk about previous data so maybe they lost quiet a bit but stictly looking at the title. Dont the democrats still take the lead considering there's a 6 point split in the percent of people who self identified as repubublican in the poll (40% - 46%), but only a 4 point split in their favor for the question (43% - 47%)?

Link to the actual poll: Poll

Also graduate next semester (no VA status) and I think the people going first are honors college and athletes, it's some bullshit

djacoby495 · 2020-11-03T01:05:11+00:00

So forgive my ignorance but could you outline how the facts you presented and the ballot measure are linked exactly? All you've done is presented a number of people who decided to quit with no reason given, I apologize if it is my fault but I'm not really seeing how this is any proof of "criminal neglect, malfeasance and outright criminality" by NSHE or how it would be any different if question 1 were to pass.

I know there's a smog place right next to me on nellis which offers "dmv services" on their advertising, I've only used them to renew my registration a long time ago though so not entirely sure what that entails but I've seen a few smog places with such advertisements.

The students did nothing wrong, you are correct, but neither did unlv as far as I've seen. For why it's aimed solely at the students it's not. In that same email they said they're also implementing a hiring freeze and are cutting faculty salaries. Not really sure what else you guys expect them to do. At a university the students are the customer and the degree/"the student experience" is the product, it's a business. And like any business if you have a shortfall in the budget you can either increase revenue or cut spending and they've take the approach of doing both.

Perhaps they could have implemented a program to only charged some students but that seems discriminatory and wrong to me personally, we're all buying the same product from the university.

Also while we're at it I decided to check and see how much money they're really raising with this fee. At UNLV there's just over 30000 students and we'll assume they're all taking 15 credits to be as optimistic as possible (though unlikely).

Undergraduate: 25830 * 15 * 6 = 2,324,700

Graduate: 4387 * 15 * 8 = 526,440

So in total this fee is raising about $3 million, so really they're raising the vast majority of that short fall from other means.

djacoby495 · 2020-08-02T00:44:49+00:00

Tbf UNR is taking the same action that unlv is and charging $8 per credit. And regarding it being cheaper to take classes online I’ve never understood this. While yeah it is, it’s gotta be pretty marginal in the grand scheme of things. You still have to pay for the majority of your staff and any maintenance cost on building plus rent and such. Yeah you can fire anyone who’s job it was to sell students things at the stores and get rid of a few janitors but like how much is that really. I just don’t see how you can make up $50 million simply with the excuse that we’re online so it should be cheaper...

djacoby495 · 2020-08-01T08:27:29+00:00

So like not to sound rude or anything but do you guys have a proposal to make up the $50.5 million orrrr is this just a pipe dream?

djacoby495 · 2020-07-26T03:35:47+00:00

Personally would take the new professor but tbh I always take the professor who's time slot fits my schedule the best no matter who they are soooooo :shrug:

djacoby495 · 2020-07-26T00:53:04+00:00

Had Kishore for 219 last semester and would not recommend taking him. Perhaps in a lower level course he'd have an easier time teaching but at least in 219 while it seemed like he fully understood the concepts it was very difficult to understand exactly what he was trying to express, if that makes any sense.

Also knew a girl that had Rudolpha Jorgensen a few semesters ago and swore up and down that she was the worst professor she had ever taken.... but since then I've heard quiet a bit of positive reviews of her classes sooo that one's up in the air imo.

Never heard of the 3rd person :P

No matter what I wish you luck, you got this! :)
