Since people are posting games, I'll throw in Realms of Despair

I never really paid attention to the level gain ratio.
I'd look here for that kind of question.

No bother!

For customization, you want a MUD client rather than a standard telnet client. I used zMUD back in the day, but FLOSS was harder to come by back then. These days, I'd go with mudlet.

Not necessarily. There is a foreign earned income exclusion, so if you pay income taxes on it in the country where you're living you don't pay taxes to the US.

$126,500 per person, plus another $20,240 in housing expenses. Plus your $13,850 standard deduction (though if you're making that much you're probably itemizing for more). So $160,590 for an individual or $321,180 for married filing jointly. That's assuming no kids and no other deductions or credits - which is pretty unlikely at that income level.

$160,590 is the 93rd percentile for US income distribution. So yeah, if you (AND your partner, if any) are both in the top 7% income bracket, bad at tax preparation, and don't hire an accountant, you might still pay tax on the income over that amount. Of course, making that much while keeping the kind of ethics that let you care about anyone other than yourself is a nontrivial endeavor.

Don't forget that your foreign employer won't be reporting to the IRS. So if your protest extends to not voluntarily reporting that excess income ...

The title is unreasonably generous. The apology is entirely self serving and meaningless.

  • He doesn't apologize for throwing water for the man - only for posting it on social media.
  • He tries to frame a narrative that the victim deserved it
  • He doesn't offer any sort of reparations or even an insignificant donation to a group that works with unhoused people generally.

It's clearly only to ensure his business is not affected, reduce the threat of prosecution (being considered by law enforcement, presumably for assault), and to encourage leniency from the judge if it gets that far.

Apology not accepted.

A less euphemistic term in English is "regulatory capture"

Probably by buying and then sitting on the patents

Common in IT roles as well.

Emma_Gold_Man ,

IT has a level of access to systems that makes management nervous. The fear is that an IT person in financial trouble could use that to embezzle, or be pressured to sell access to a malicious third party.

This. The first session with any therapist is mostly giving background, checking fit, and building trust. An app that gives you a different random therapist every time means only superficial help based on a bunch of assumptions of average needs that won't all fit - and no chance to correct those assumptions.

At least in the US, most therapists offer televisits since the pandemic. Your best bets are to either search your insurance's provider list or to search your location here and then filter by "Online" and your insurance carrier

Nah. Replacing the kernel is probably planned for the next point release - it'll just be GNU/systemd

(Assuming US jurisdiction) Because you don't want to be the first test case under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act where the prosecutor argues that circumventing restrictions on a company's AI assistant constitutes

ntentionally ... Exceed[ing] authorized access, and thereby ... obtain[ing] information from any protected computer

Granted, the odds are low YOU will be the test case, but that case is coming.
