Readit NewsWhy not let the computer science students take a crack at building some of those systems? Maybe not the an HR system, but why not a course registration system? Maybe not for the whole university, but maybe for just the computer science department?
The university would get work for free and the students would get real-world practice with building production code.
I get that there would be risk, but if it was under the supervision of professors (who hopefully are good at building, not just lecturing theory), I think there is an opportunity there.
Good joke here! If you are actually serious, please tell us which university you encountered where the majority of professors actually did something productive in computer science
The US government is so powerful, they are the only country that enforces a draconian global taxation scheme on any citizen or person who has ever held a US green card, even after they permanently leave the country. The US treasury will withhold the ability to transact in US Dollars from any country that does not report the holdings of US-adjacent persons every single year.
If you think you're out of reach of a country that treats their own citizens as criminals by default the minute they leave the country, I have some swamp land in Florida to sell you.
While it may be true that they are the only ones able to do it effectively, there are some other countries with citizenship-based taxation. According to Wikipedia[0] these currently are: Hungary, Eritrea, Myanmar and Tajikistan
Some other countries have similar policies for tax heavens.

I don't think you should take someone who says that seriously for your financial planning.
We wanted to have finally encrypt the L2 links between our DCs and got quotes from a number of providers for hardware appliances, and I was like, "no WAY this ought to cost that much!', and went off to try to build something myself that hauled Ethernet frames over a wireguard overlay network at 10Gbps using COTS hardware. I did pull it off after a tenday of work or so, undercutting the cheapest offer by about 70% (and the most expensive one by about 95% or so...), but there was a lot of intricate reading and experimentation involved.
I am looking forward to validate my understanding against the content of this article - it looks very promising and comprehensive at first and second glance! Thanks for creating and posting it.
As we approach the present, corresponding to a personal computer, the graph really should become more complicated since one consequence of computers becoming super-cheap is that increasingly, they are being embedded in other equipment. The modern automobile is but one example. And it remains to be seen how general-purpose the current wave of palm-sized computers will be with their stylus inputs.
