They might have changed the OP to fix it in the past hour, but for me the "screenshot" is coming from the social image for the link on the post itself. Clicking through the link gets to the actual article.

There's nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you're working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

Definitely a lot more out in the country than in the cities or even suburbs. 10% sounds about right.

I liked it better when this was misattributed to Stalin.

Every time I see one of these I think of what Philly did. RIP.

Don't use the new version then? Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll add themes.

For years and years I thought that was how this worked. That you said you wanted to round up, and all of the money collected went into a pool that the company then used as a tax write off in one lump sum. So they were stealing your tax write off basically.

Nope, that's not actually how it works in the US (can't speak for other counties). If you round up your transaction for charity, you're eligible to write it off on your taxes as charity. Do most people? Nope. But could they? Yes! And some people even do save their receipts for this purpose.

The company doesn't get to write it off as their donation, because it's not. For them it's pretty neutral, they're receiving funds and transferring them on behalf of the people who donated them.

Note: I can't speak for companies that do donations for nonprofits related to them. I assume it's still neutral for them, since you definitely still can use it as your own tax write off, but I haven't looked into that side.

You can select multiple entities at once by holding SHIFT while clicking them (in iD and JOSM at least). From there you can set the missing tag (I think it's marked=no) at the bottom of the combined tags table in the left pane.

Like the island that's a part of Hawaii? /s

As someone who has been drawing a ton of sidewalks and crossings lately, this is probably the most annoying thing I have to encounter. You can get around the warnings for marked crossings that are automatically created by just setting the markings, but you don't have that option for unmarked crossings so you either have to set the tag in bulk at the end or hit the upgrade tags button on every node.

This has to be an easy fix to send in a pull request... 🤔

My understanding is that you're not going to find a self hosted solution that makes use of SMS (not counting email to SMS gateways) because sending SMS programmatically requires a SMS gateway those aren't cheap (think of Twilio). You can find many options for app-based notifications (push notifications usually) and email-based notifications as a workaround.

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.
