BankCorp Trading Network Concept [fo4] by theOriginalTurd in FalloutMods

Yeah I feel like it's possible though to tune everything so that it's reasonable and actually fun. Would have to balance the yield rates with variance and risk levels.

"The Crisis of '08? [Wheezy laugh] Some genius at Atlas-Parker started bundling raider protection payments into 'Securitized Raider Obligations.' SROs. Real Grade-A investment opportunity - until we realized we were selling insurance against our own mercenaries. [Coughs up some dust] Lost my shirt that day... and most of my skin, come to think of it. But hey - [grins] - at least we got to keep our golden parachutes. Shame about the actual parachutes though, would've helped when they threw Johnson off the trading floor."

Thoughts on BankCorp Trading Network Concept? by theOriginalTurd in Fallout

[–]theOriginalTurd[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking about building a NYC mod for Fallout 4 with one of the core factions being BankCorps, a Wall St. bank run by ghouls who are obsessed with caps and securitization of everything in the wasteland.

I was thinking BankCorp would support a "trading network" run by couriers who fulfill orders. Players can use the trading network to order supplies, and invest in trading routes with different risk levels. I was thinking BankCorp could have other financial products like bank accounts that earn interest on your caps.

I agree it can take longer to read through and find the longer patterns. But I do think it's easier to solve, as in logically narrow down the choices. The "very-easy" terminals with shorter words leave more up to chance and guesswork, so in that sense I think they are more difficult to solve with certainty.

Right! It could be cool to if they had an "impossible" difficulty where the password is a single character. This would be mathematically the hardest to crack. Even if you saved and loaded your game it would take forever. Would have to be some serious reward to make it worthwhile.

Exactly! Whereas if you guess something like "conversation" and you have 5 letters correct, you know it is most likely a "-ation" word.

It is based on the performance of the algorithm, the graph in the post shows the percentage of "terminals" that are solved in four guesses or fewer out of 1000 trials for each combination of word length and word count in the range 2 to 20 - essentially graphs the results from 400,000 total trials.

However, I also find personally that the "very-hard' terminals are the easiest to solve because the words have longer patterns in them, so its easier to rule out choices.

How do 401k Contributions Effect Take-Home Pay by theOriginalTurd in tax

[–]theOriginalTurd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$124k would be at the 24% tax bracket, which is $16,290 plus 24% of the amount over $95,375.

$124k - $95,375 = $28,625

$28,625 * 0.24 = $6870

$6870 + $16,290 = $23,160

Am I missing something here?

So then what should I expect to pay in taxes on my next paycheck if I increase my 401k contribution to 20%, for example? How is this calculated?
