9.2 Memories: Credit Society, University Age and DIY

In Louis' memory, the "Federal Wealthy Family" series of special topics made by Chao Times Social Weekly magazine in the 931st Era has received a great response in federal society. It has caused fierce debates among people of all walks of life. It has not stopped until now, which is impressive. Moreover, this topic has a huge impact on the stereotype of values, worldviews, and outlook on life for many young people, and its impact is far-reaching and huge. For example, Louis was deeply influenced by it.

In this special topic of "Federal Wealthy Family", Chao Times Magazine has also conducted continuous follow-up reports on the job-seeking internship career of the children of powerful families and powerful families, and specially invited several well-known contributors to write articles in "Federal Wealthy" magazine to analyze the reasons. The weekly in-depth report series of articles and explanations of the "Job Internship phenomenon" of the children of powerful families and powerful families, roughly speaking, there are several more well-known articles:

First of all, there is an old saying that 'people need shame, trees need bark'. Those wealthy families also need shame. The whole society is like this. If you spend the rest of your life in the sarcasm of upper class and gossip news for a short period of time, it is not a very glorious and decent thing for the wealthy families;

Secondly, the current Galaxy Federation is a highly developed credit society with a very complete and strict social credit system. Most of the temporary employment, social activities, vocational training and other data related to personal credit experience will be recorded truthfully in the credit databases of various social credit bureaus, credit alliances, credit management companies or credit investigation companies in accordance with the Social Credit Law, and are registered as necessary components of personal credit. Any company or individual can also search and query the public credit records that do not involve individuals and various "blacklists" submitted by many credit investigation companies through legal means such as free or paid applications. If someone wants to get away with it, it will be unless he spends a lot of money to bribe the insider.

, and hire hacker organizations or hacker organizations with skillful means to take action to erase and tamper with all credit data or "credit blacklists" stored by social credit institutions, but how can they completely tamper with it without leaving any clues? Paper cannot be kept in the fire. As long as someone checks it carefully, the truth will always be found! Furthermore, according to federal law, any database has unmodified data backups, and the data can only be added, but no modifications are allowed to be made to the original data. Therefore, even if a hacker can make a temporary change, it will not be changed for a lifetime. Once the tampered data is compared with the unmodified backup data, it will always be exposed. Once the truth is revealed, it will be a serious personal credit crisis. If the behavior is serious, it will even be punished by the federal criminal law.

Individual credit loss is not just a face problem. If it is a bad credit, it is to be listed on the "credit blacklist", such powerful and powerful children will encounter obstacles in many aspects of social life, and will even be unable to move forward. Because citizens travel and shopping, transfer and transfer, income and expenditure, business transactions, especially those economic activities involving relatively large amounts of fees and payments, they absolutely require personal credit record endorsement guarantees. Without a credit record or bad credit record or even bad, banks, companies, associations and even individuals are accustomed to restricting or refusing to have credit relationships or business transactions with such citizens in accordance with the law. In theory, even the only heir of a billionaire, even if they hold a VIP credit card signed by a wealthy family, they will be subject to many restrictions. They are inconvenient in real life and are no exception. Of course, this only exists in theory.

Anyone will weigh the severity of this account. It is not impossible to play with the sidelines, but it must be within the scope permitted by the rules of the game (including the unspoken rules). The rules of the game must be followed, so the children of wealthy and powerful families apply for jobs and work internships, but this kind of formality must also be passed.

According to the description of "Thao Times" magazine, the descendants of wealthy families, children of powerful families, and descendants of wealthy families in the Galaxy Federation are not all lazy and lazy, and they are not born with inheritance rights of huge property. In the interstellar era, due to the high inheritance tax, and the system of charitable donations and public welfare donations that can offset tax deductions and apply for tax refunds, most wealthy families and powerful families will not pass all their property as inheritance for the purpose of legal tax avoidance and other purposes:

The wealthy and powerful people usually invest in their descendants regardless of cost or spare no effort, but when it comes to inheritance, most wealthy and powerful people will also choose to evade inheritance tax (not prohibited by law, that is, 'legitimate') method, such as converting all or most of the huge property in their name into a "trust fund" during their lifetime, designating their direct descendants as beneficiaries, and providing funding (generally, there are 'prodigal terms' in the trust fund agreement to limit the scope of use of such huge fund); or in the form of a "family limited partnership"

The property can be transferred to the name of its descendants; or donated the property to hospitals, charitable funds and other social institutions, but the social institutions that accept the donation must pay extremely high interest rates to the beneficiaries designated by the donor for this purpose. Only when the designated beneficiaries die, the institution that accepts the donation can fully own the donation; for example, the "student account" for the education fund savings plan is set up from the birth of the child, deposit large amounts of money year by year, and use the convenience of student tax rates to file taxes, so as to legally avoid taxes, etc. There are many kinds of tax avoidance, and we cannot describe them one by one.

There are also a very small number of rich people who donate all their property under their name to charitable foundations, non-profit scientific research promotion foundations, non-governmental voluntary service organizations, museum foundations, non-governmental cultural organizations and other social organizations. They neither leave a penny of heritage for their descendants nor set up a ‘trust fund’ for designated beneficiaries. Because these rich people are deeply influenced by certain religious ideas, they advocate entrepreneurial spirit and believe that ‘it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish’.

It is shameful for future generations to enjoy their success. They are easy to degenerate and do not want to make progress, and they are also easy to cause disasters and disasters. When the inheritance tax is quite high, and the tax can be offset through charitable donations and public donations, the world can be provided with the best educational resources and educational opportunities to give to their descendants. This is the best legacy left for their descendants. Moreover, those who have gained help will help others, and the fragrance of flowers will continue to linger. All the money will be spent to "give back to society" not only win the "beauty" of the rich himself before and after his death.

Fame and reputation, and its good reputation are also high-quality intangible assets that can be passed on to descendants. Such thinking and actions of moving the firewood and preventing problems and accumulating virtues can not only effectively resolve the invisible and potential jealousy, resentment and hatred in society, win widespread praise from all walks of life, and gather better and more connections. The beauty of a gentleman can also take the opportunity to serve his descendants and grandchildren, and can maintain their lasting success for generations, so that their descendants may be greatly inherited by their father and grandfather.

The disasters, obstacles or hostility encountered can be resolved in a way that can be removed from the bottom of a pot, and laying the foundation for the descendants to advance to the upper mainstream society. It is a good intention. However, the powerful and wealthy people with similar wealth wisdom can only be a very small number after all, not the mainstream of the federal society. And this is not how noble their morality is, but the experience of life has brought the wisdom of this part of the rich to a considerable level, and everything is considered from the long-term interests!

Of course, some magazine writers believe that the "charitable" donation of wealthy and business owners is the legal factor that can offset the tax amount, the psychological factor that freely controls all private property and is unwilling to take most of the income from private wealth by the government in the form of taxes, and the psychological factor that is not willing to use most of the income from federal wealthy people to "passively" cope with and eliminate social pressure through charitable donations. People cannot deny that wealthy people participate in various "charitable" donations, and have the ability to improve personal social reputation, enrich personal connections, expand social influence and even political influence, and obtain political protection.

There are some people who use charitable donations to advertise, while others use charitable donations to show off their wealth and compare to gain perverted personal satisfaction. Some people even use charitable donations to make improper benefits, etc. So, no matter what, they are unprofitable and not charitable. Of course, then again, people who have the financial resources and ability to do charity, no matter what their motivations are, as long as they are not fake charity, verbal charity, or short charity, their charitable donations are actually brought to the account and devoted to social charity, which is always beneficial to social welfare.

Most of the descendants of wealthy families and powerful children in the Galaxy Federation era cannot ‘directly’ inheritance; they do not have the full external conditions for becoming the privileged class or the ‘second-generation ancestor’; whether they can make a name for themselves or their own efforts is still relatively important factors. Of course, they have the ‘trust funds’ or ‘limited partnership’ assets, and they can have many opportunities and resources that are undoubtedly much more than those of the civilian class. They were born with golden spoons and silver spoons, and their material living standards were undoubtedly much better than those of the civilian class. The probability of their entry into the upper mainstream society is also far greater than those of the civilian class.

This is the social reality of the Galaxy Federation today. Whether you admit it or not, it is the case. Sometimes, a father or mother with a wealthy or powerful identity is often better than the hard work of civilians for decades. Absolute fairness will never exist in human society. The "invisible ceiling" between classes is usually only the lucky few grassroots civilians who can break through. While ordinary people from grassroots civilians are busy with life, they can only complain about why their fathers, grandparents and elders have not been able to make a name for themselves, and have not left themselves with a sufficiently useful tangible or intangible 'assets' or "legacy" that they lose at the starting line as soon as they are born!

The "Thao Times" magazine shows the federal people from all aspects, such as the above, the right and wrong, good and evil, and will not be expressed for the time being.

Speaking of the college students in the Galaxy Federation era, although there is no pressure on tuition and have the "student account" of the Education Fund Savings Plan, school scholarships, study allowances, student aid funds, government interest-free student loans, low-interest student loans for commercial banks, interest-free student loans for commercial institutions, etc., most people still choose to make money by part-time jobs to pay for the insufficient part of the university's miscellaneous expenses, and at the same time they can also accumulate "practice course credits" and kill two birds with one stone.

Moreover, the concept of saving resources recycling has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so most college students pay great attention to resource conservation. In fact, except for some additional consumption expenses, purchasing medicines, energy, equipment, equipment, etc. alone is already a considerable expense, so it is not enough to save money. It is still a bit difficult for ordinary college students in this era to complete the credits smoothly. With some pressure, the second-hand fritter market for students is also particularly prosperous. Not only are there thrift stores, thrift exchange factories, and flea auction houses, but many thrift trading companies registered and opened by students in school can receive additional student special discounts in addition to the government giving tax exemption within a certain period of time, which is also considered a very profitable industry. In addition to government supervision, there are even more thrift black companies that have not been registered and cannot be counted.

Louis was elected in the biochemistry and medical engineering major. During his time at school, he often had a large amount of experimental data, such as the structure, morphology and movement of drugs and protein molecules, gene analysis and interference, protein group analysis, interference and coding expression, virtual human experiments, etc., which all require a large amount of simulation calculations, precise analysis, and frequent search and comparison of large database files; and mastering advanced basic skills at the university stage also requires a large amount of high-simulation calculations and analysis. Huge data flows will inevitably occupy huge amounts of computing resources. Just relying on the personal biochemical intelligence provided by the government at a cheap price, there is no way to get enough credits to complete college in just a few years.

The public super smart server cabins provided to students for free are always more monks and less porridge, and there are always many competitors, so you always need to make an appointment in advance.

Therefore, even if ordinary college students rent out spaces for off-campus super intelligent server rental companies or government supercomputer centers, or make an appointment for the "cloud and grid computing resource integration and utilization window" of idle computing resources on the interstellar Internet grid, they cannot meet the needs of completing college studies within a limited time. In most cases, in addition to leasing computing resources, two or three college students need to jointly buy a second-hand super server to fill the gap in computing resources on the user side; or choose low-priced supercomputers to deal with it. After all, some core data with high confidentiality and high security requirements cannot be used for calculation and analysis for security reasons, and students in school also have intellectual property rights.

As for purchasing new shelf parts of commercial servers on the interstellar grid, there are also some student players who assemble them by themselves, but not many - in the era of Galaxy Federation, the spot price of commercial server components was never that cheap. In addition, the procurement costs of genuine intelligent software, software installation and debugging costs, as well as taxes and freight, the "diy" in terms of procurement costs is not cheaper than brand customized products, and it is even more expensive, and there is no after-sales technical service support; as for free open source intelligent software, free sharing software or pirated cracking software, unless the "diy" player is willing to spend a lot of personal time and energy to rewrite it himself, the "diy" machine does not necessarily have an advantage over brand customized products in terms of comprehensive cost-effectiveness and personal needs matching. However, if funds can be guaranteed, the "diy" player can solve the problem of matching free intelligent software with personal needs. The personal needs matching performance of the "diy" machine is usually more than the merchants.

The second-hand servers sold, low-priced supercomputers and other whole machines are slightly better. Since ‘diy’ cannot save procurement costs and there is no outstanding advantage in matching personal needs, there are not many players among students who use ‘diy’ computers for their own use. Compared with the more popular antique computer ‘diy’ trend recorded in ancient history, the ‘diy’ fashion in the Galaxy Federation era is more reflected in other consumer products, and less in the ‘diy’ server.

There are too many smart tools like DIY’ supercomputers. After all, there are too many consumer products that can be DIY in this era. Therefore, in addition to the hard-working DIY enthusiasts who like to "experience" in everything, or those grid shops that pursue extreme performance and special requirements for users to sell, examples of students' personal DIY’ smart servers and supercomputers are relatively rare. Instead, second-hand goods can have an advantage in low prices.

Usually, the second-hand super servers exchanged for Student Taobao are all fritters that fritters that have extended their service life with primary remanufacturing technology; while low-priced supercomputers are manufacturers that make large quantities of "outdated" components and remanufacturing components that are no longer popular on the market shelves, and carry out revolutionary integrated and innovative designs in hardware and software, striving to achieve comprehensive optimal performance, functions, prices, power consumption, etc., so as to ensure that performance is "sufficient" while still maintaining a very low price.

Whether it is a second-hand super server or a low-priced super computer, although each has its own advantages in performance and function, it is relatively inferior to the mainstream products on the market in some performance. However, its advantage lies in the ability to meet the personalized needs of each user with the "flexible customization, tailor-made" model. It is useful and cheap, and it costs little money. For students in school, it does not leave any "employment stains".

In the first year of her college elective course, Louis also bought a second-hand super server with another classmate. The core components such as "microprocessor integration unit" and the "memory integration unit" have an average of only 10 million Gigabytes per second. This is naturally inferior to the mainstream commercial super server products at that time, but for freshmen, it is barely enough. (Yi, Gigabytes, Beijing, see Note 1)

However, Louis was not very satisfied with this super server that he used with others, so he often searched for second-hand goods on the Interstellar grid, intending to buy some "microprocessor integration units" and "memory integration units" recycled from second-hand servers to expand and enhance the performance of the server, but it was not done for a long time.

Note 1: Here we take the above method - "Nine hundred million is billion, billion billion is nickel, and title is Beijing"

There are three systems for counting large numbers of more than 100 million in ancient China, which are recorded in the book "Records of Numbers" in the Eastern Han Dynasty:

The first is the upper method, which is a self-multiple system: ten thousand is billion, ten thousand is nickel, and ten thousand is nickel, and ten thousand is gold. This system has also been adopted by Archimedes of Greece; 10 is 4th power = ten thousand, 10 is 8th power = billion, 10 is 16th power = nickel, and 10 is 32nd power = gold;

The second is the Chinese law, which is a system of ten thousand steps, and all progresses through ten thousand steps: the ten thousand dollars of Beijing Gaizhi Ranggou (next to the soil) is the stream (10 million is billion, trillion is nuggets, and trillion is nuggets), 10 is the fourth power = ten thousand, 10 is the eighth power = billion, 10 is the 12th power = nuggets, 10 is the 16th power = Beijing

The third is the following method, which is a ten-point system, all of which are ten-point progressive: trillions of dollars
