You underestimate the stupidity of boomers, they’d rather vote to increase SS taxes for the younger generation than to realize they’ve been Stockholm syndromed their entire life.

I don’t like the fucker either, but you don’t have to be a libertarian to see that our government isn’t working right now. We need to find a way to fix our government in such a manner that bad faith actors cannot survive in it. Otherwise we’re just throwing money at them which they can then use to enrich their friends.

No it won’t, the ratio of retirees to the workforce is getting higher and higher because of all the shit that this fucked up country does to burden the current generation for all the problems caused by the boomers. I’d much rather let the boomers experience the finding out phase after they’ve been fucking around so much.

What’s worse is that the life expectancy of those boomers is going to add unsustainable strain to the system. As society progresses you’ll eventually have less births, which means this problem might be getting even worse in the future. The only way it would be sustainable is that you have constant growth in both people and the economy. That’s literally not possible.

Yes, it’s ok to take more from you because it’s how social security can be offered to everyone, including you.

I’d much rather take my chances, take whatever you’ve taken from me I don’t want it back, but let me do my own investments and leave me with more disposable income. Fix the government before dumping more tax money into the money pit. I’ll happily vote for the guy who will try.

This doesn’t equate, if you get a proportion based on what you’ve put in, your kids would get a larger amount vs the poorer family. Assuming we’re equating to SS.

Would you be happy if you put in 30k every year for your life and you’re only getting 15k back every year during retirement?

Should I get a lower property tax because I am a person without kids despite having a higher income and higher valued property? Or should I be taxed relative to my ability to support the community? Should a family that makes a quarter of what I do but have four kids pay more than me?

Personally I think that the family of 4 that makes a quarter should probably not be having kids… it’s not good for the kid or the parent to be in that situation. I know because that was my childhood. Shit left quite a few scars well into adulthood.

I’m sorry but this disproportionately affects W2 workers who live in HCOL areas. I’ve paid into social security since I started working in HS. I’m now a 34 year old, and am expecting nothing during my retirement years as I’ve been told. Naturally I’m saving up with a 401k and Roth IRA, and you’re saying it’s okay to drain more from me because I am planning on there being nothing left for me?

I don’t agree with that. Why can’t we do a wealth tax first and see where we are, why must we hit W2 folks over the head every time.

Wow I’m surprised how low the corporate tax revenue is compared to everything else. Someone should really look at that.

I think it’s the kind of chart they used… You can’t fit 2 same sized circles like that… They could have used a bar chart.

That document doesn’t say what layer. But it does say it supports Websockets.

Just odd that when I try to set it up using a named tunnel I don’t get an option to specify the WS service type. However it does require a service type if you want to connect to it.

Looking at this page it would seem that it’s a layer 7. Although I could be wrong, but my front end app has issues finding my backend service for websockets.

Granted I even tried to connect to my private computer using other protocols. I couldn’t get through. Anyway I’m most likely going to be taking that project offline soon.

Cloudflare tunnels are layer 7, so it’s not unlimited access by any means. This also means that certain things will break btw, for example if your website uses websockets to load information, that isn’t supported.

Next, I’d put the computer that is going to be hosting into an isolated vlan of its own and access via external URL only.

If you’re going to use docker images, make sure to vet that they’re updated often and always spin up the latest.

As a recipient of something similar…I agree, but I wish it wasn’t that way. I got my current gig 2 years ago and just got a promo to senior with a sizeable pay raise and bonus. I work remote and out of state from a zero income tax state while keeping my HCOL pay scale.

I think I could go higher, but I’m against the same thing that is helping me out in my current position.

To me, that’s basically what networking is in a nutshell

Probably drinking?

Do you think that running to the ER for a heartburn or tummy aches is something that is acceptable?

We are smart enough and wealthy enough to provide quality, timely care to everyone, if only we could get rid of the greedy idiots in charge.

If not solving a problem makes money…then the problem will not be solved…ever. That’s basically it in a nutshell. Capitalism needs greed to work and that is fine if kept in check. Obviously it’s not kept in check though. The folks that would do that are compensated by the very folks that make money from the dysfunctional system.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t those places where you’re required to take some kind of classes to be able to qualify to own a gun? Isn’t it also pretty easy for anyone from the police to be able to take them from you within reason if they find you to be violating some laws?

Sorry dude…writing simple queries is what I said was easy…and for the record they are. That example is probably not a great example. Simply from my experience, I never started my career in IT, I was in healthcare and far from it all.

Anyway, I’ve had some idiots approach me about their shitty ideas before too…most notably was one person asking to create an app that “uses AI” to help a person search for the right individual when they send a text message. Couldn’t explain how it would know that it found the right person? There was another one that wanted to track the origin of “content” and how it changes over time on social media… again “using AI”.

For my team I have a mirror that I set up and have a bunch of ELT jobs that load the deltas every night. Queries don’t ever run in PROD, if someone needs a specific view or more data, they go through me and my team. I also set timeouts, precisely to avoid the ahole from using Select * from. Also have a bunch of reports I created to see who is running what queries and timings. We review them quarterly or when someone complains or when a project that needs our data asks us for access.

We also have an autogenerated data dictionary for folks to use as well. Generally I don’t entertain any “it’s slow” complaints unless they go through the documentation, provide their exact query and write what it is they’re trying to get.

My assumption was that OPs shop does the bare minimum in terms of making sure they don’t shoot themselves in the foot.

Ooof my guy if you got folks running queries on your PROD db you got bigger problems even if they were the best SQL writers in the world.

You can’t fuck up step 1 and complain the rest of the steps aren’t working. I write and maintain a set of ELT jobs and a bunch of front end dashboards. By default, we never run analytics queries in PROD db. I create views and such for the simple queries to run.

I picked up SQL a few years ago for a school project. It took me a week. The DBA stuff just came by itself as I went along. Query optimizations took a while but you don’t need to write every query super optimally. If the DB tables are set up correctly your users will not have to worry about it at all.

My previous comment assumes you guys already have a db set up for analytics where folks can run queries. If you don’t then IDK how the director of IT got their job…That’s very basic shit.

SQL isn’t hard to learn unless they’re asking you guys to do T-SQL and PLSQL.

For simple queries it’s pretty easy.
