A faint, “Zero! Ah ha ha!” can be heard in the distance, as The Count tallies up the score.

Maybe they mean four year uptime…

Also note that many graduate programs are free* — if you don’t count lost wages or the cost of the prerequisite undergrad degree.

But it all depends on what you want, with a fair amount of luck thrown in IMHO. You can have a lousy job with or without a degree, and you can have a great career with or without one.

From ed.gov:

Overall, the median lifetime earnings for all workers are $1.7 million, which is just under $42,000 per year ($20 per hour). Over a 40-year career, those who didn’t earn a high school diploma or GED are expected to bring in less than $1 million, which translates into slightly more than $24,000 a year ($11.70 per hour).


*Or rather, funded by your research/TA/etc.

It’s a fun way to mix it up!

Previously I just had my favorite starting word, but I thought it got a little boring. This can be a fun challenge. That said, I skip days now and then so I’m not worried about keeping a streak going :)

My current “house rule” is to start with yesterday’s word.

Exactly — this is ~10GB every 6 hours (which is probably a reasonable amount of time to run a backup while not interfering with active Internet use).

Basically the only backup-worthy content I generate is casual photos and videos, and these are nowhere near that size (Immich database backups also take up a bit but I could certainly be smarter about how I handle these backups).

Yeah, I would additionally like to see fines be in units of revenue — $50M means wildly different things to different organizations.

We “only” have ~35Mbps upload, but that’s plenty since the initial backup was the only large transfer. Daily backup transfers are generally pretty small for me.

But getting the initial transfer done locally was definitely important for my use case!

Yeah. My solution is raspberry pi w/WireGuard + HDD at inlaws. Initial backup was done locally, nightly backups rsync’d over (I don’t generate a ton of data, so it’s mostly just photos from my phone).
