  • MA (and much of the US) has a multi-level tax system where they all stack up.

    Let’s tax someone in Boston, MA making $1.5m/yr

    Local = 0% State = 9% (previously 5%) Federal = 37%

    So on their final dollar of income they’ll be paying 46% income tax now. Note of course because of graduated income tax schemes, that 46% is not applied to the entire $1.5m but instead only to the amount that fits into the highest bracket.




  • I personally just started using Owntracks, which is a standalone location tracker. There is also Traccar which I looked into but opted not to make use of.

    Some people use it as a Find My replacement, I personally make use of it as a Google Maps Timeline replacement (and have imported my previous data as a result) as well as for Tile tracker location history (which I’ve got custom scripted currently).





  • I remember way back in uni at a hackathon, our table had a projector on it so of course we connected to it and set up Hacker Typer to auto play and keep typing out gibberish. But then some sponsor walked on by and stared, visibly impressed by what was happening. It wasn’t until they asked for a picture that we realized they had never seen Hacker Typer before. And yes, we took the picture without telling them what it was.
