Mailbox money is the idea of getting money in your mailbox (or bank account) with little or no work. The term got a boost in pop culture from Nipsey Hussle’s final commercial mixtape, “Mailbox Money,” but the concept is older than that: build something once, or put your money to work, and let the checks keep showing up. It’s the heart of every passive income strategy.Here’s the truth up front: nothing is 100% passive. Every method below takes either money, time, or both to get started. But once the work is done, these are the best ways to keep income…

Hey Everyone! I’m back from my summer vacation. My brothers and I went to visit my dad in Thailand. He had radiation treatment for prostate cancer earlier this year. He seemed much weaker physically after the treatment and we wanted to check on him. Fortunately, the treatment was highly successful and his PSA is much lower now. The doctor said he should be fine for a long time.We also took this chance to visit my aunt in Australia. The flight from Thailand was super cheap on VietJet Airlines. I paid $212 for a one-way ticket from Bangkok to Sydney, with…

Getting into and paying for college can feel like daunting tasks, especially in today’s competitive environment. Playing a niche sport is one way to give yourself an edge when applying to a college that might be difficult to get into or a scholarship that many are vying for. Fewer high school kids play fencing than play basketball, so the college roster spots are easier to get, and the athletic tip helps at schools where acceptance rates keep falling.That pitch still holds up. But the mechanics underneath it changed more between 2024 and 2026 than they had in the previous two decades, and…

A coalition of higher education associations and labor unions is asking a federal judge to throw out the Trump administration’s rule ending “duration of status” for international students, exchange visitors and foreign journalists. The case (Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration v. Department of Homeland Security, No. 1:26-cv-13799) was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and posted publicly by the Presidents’ Alliance. It comes less than a month before the rule is set to take effect, along with 30 senators asking the State Department to clear a student visa backlog before fall classes start.…

Key Points Two unrelated problems are hitting Public Service Loan Forgiveness borrowers at once: July and August payments that haven’t posted yet, and the Education Department is rescinding qualifying months it says were credited in error during the Biden-era account adjustment. Our review of affected borrower accounts points to a narrow pattern: forbearance months other than processing forbearance, plus months in the Extended and Extended Graduated repayment plans that were counted when they shouldn’t have been. Borrowers need to validate their own counts using the MyAid TXT File and compare that to their records of PSLF certification and payments. Borrowers…

The Justice Department unsealed a 14-count indictment on August 18 charging 17 Iranian nationals with running a decade-long hacking campaign against 144 U.S. universities, 178 foreign universities, at least 42 U.S. companies, five federal and state agencies, and two non-governmental organizations. Prosecutors say the defendants (leaders, contractors, and hackers-for-hire tied to the Tehran-based Mabna Institute) stole at least 31.5 terabytes of academic data and intellectual property, much of it at the direction of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The targets were research operations at institutions already cutting back, including schools like MIT. Nine of the 17 defendants were charged in…

A signal can cross 13,000 kilometres without an electrical amplifier acting on the data because a chain of erbium-doped fibre amplifiers, or EDFAs, boosts the light directly. With submarine repeaters commonly spaced about 60 to 80 kilometres apart, a route that long may pass through roughly 160 to 220 optical amplifiers before the light reaches the far shore. The repeaters still need electrical power, but they do not convert each data channel into voltage, reconstruct its bits, and launch it again. The glass itself is extraordinarily small. A standard single-mode fibre has glass cladding 125 micrometres across, while the light…

Have you ever opened Claude, typed a question, read the answer, and closed the tab? Same. That’s basically using it like Google with extra steps. Honestly, it works fine for quick stuff. But if that’s the only way you’re using it, you’re missing the part that actually saves you hours every week. Here’s the thing. The real value isn’t in one good question. It’s in building a process you run the same way every time. This is about one workflow specifically: using Claude as a research assistant. Not to replace your judgment. Not to replace primary sources. Just to handle…
