Lol but math for what use? Math just for maths sake? High risk of making math boring af.

Get out and do some woodworking or metalworking and build something with it. You will probably both learn some math or realize how useless what you know is.

Make a footpath down the side of your house, stick some curves in. Calculate the ground moved and concrete needed. Let your kids do the math. Let your kids do the design. Buy what they say you need. Embrace any failures as a family and learn from it. Give the kids a feeling if responsibility and ownership and they will learn the math during those lessons better than any textbook will teach them.

Lol let us know when you find that unicorn. So hard to find ethical operators in IT.

Change yeast. Run a kveik strain and ferment at 35c. Should be done in 18 hours. Different kveik strains will bring out different flavors.

Train once and never pay fees for the lifetime of the worker. Or still have to train on windows and pay fees ontop of standard user training for the lifetime of the user. Remember just because it's windows doesn't mean it doesn't require training. All business computer use takes training.

Lol take home assignments? What are you trying to get into a high school class?

I'd go find a different employer. Unless they are gonna pay for the time to do said take home assignment? Double time min for out-of hours work. Are they going to provide a RDO to makeup for the outside of hours work/shift going overtime? It's unsafe to operate without enough sleep and if ive banged out 8 hours on some assignment after a 8 hour day you better believe im not turning up tomorrow. I'm not making myself liable for unsafe operations just for your incapacity to hire enough people to get a job done in allocated working hours.

Have the entire healthcare system gov run. Need funds for it? Write em up out of thin air. Keep wages pegged above avg labor market because having a healthy society is more productive than an unhealthy one. To the extent where all other industries come 2nd as they are basically useless without healthcare keeping their workforce alive. Can't run a company if all your workers can't get well once they get sick. Literal unnecessary waste of human resources all because we want to prop up a few folks profits? The jobs and demand for the work will still be there if it's gov run, you just don't have a swathe of investors profiting off it. Zero loss. Go invest elsewhere.

One of the arguments against this is inflation from creating money out of thin air to fund it. Its a lie. The service is required and you don't get inflation from paying folks a wage to do a job. You do get it by propping up profits of private companies which essentually through the fattening of their bank accounts devalues money. Remember if you have a large number of folks competing for a good or service and they are all on similar playing fields (e.g wages near market avg), competition is high, the value of each dollar earned remains high.

If you have a handful of companies with buying power that far outweighs that of others allowing them to capture more than their share of a service or good because they can literally just throw more money at it than the majority of us can. This drives Inflation. It devalues money creating a new norm of your dollars being worth less.

Tldr: The benefit from entirely gov funded healthcare far outweighs that of a privatized system.

Nope it's not. They can get paid a wage from gov and charge nothing. Private Healthcare in its entirety is unethical. Shouldnt exist. Full stop.

Rental markets rooted where I am. Fails to provide for society the purpose it exists for. So yeah if your saying big pharma is the same sure I'm on board.

Profit enough to survive. But don't take more than your worth. Tbh profiting off medicine is about as low as profiting off weapons manufacturing. You literally make money out of the misery of others.

Thank f#@k I live in a country that has free healthcare. The concept of privatizing the health of your citizens and letting a select few profit from that is absolutely batshit insane.

That's your opinion and definitely not fact. I talk about asbestos on site. Hell I've even called work cover and reported the company I worked for, for improper handling. Some of us take safety seriously. Even if we come across as cowboys I'm not gonna risk your future just because some office monkey chose the wrong product. They want the risk, pay the hell up.

Mug person, preferably while intoxicated. Use face I'd to get access to phone.

The amount of times as a tech fixing some crap on folks devices I just pick their crapples up and face Id myself into their phones for a auth pass before they even realize what has happened is too many. Face ID is a hella big security hole. People are slow to react. You can be in and auth'd before they even ask "hey what are doing?"

You ah wanna go roll that dice for that 5 percent exposure risk? Or are you just willing to pay me to roll that dice? Because if it's the latter we'll guess what I value my life fairly highly so you can pay up the high rates. I find most of the folks whinging about the costs are rarely involved in doing the work or taking the risk.

Product shouldn't be on market and should have global bans on its sale and installation/use. It's everywhere in building, and because it has dangers when removed or worked on, nobody wants to pay to get that work done correctly. Resulting in situations like we now have asbestos fibers found in mulch distributed across sydney. From kids playgrounds to the local council garden bed. All because someone wanted to avoid a fee whilst holding the perspective of "It's not that dangerous".

Have pulled raw asbestos when drilling from like 300m+ down. Stuff is crazy pretty but is a pita to handle and keep safe. Looks almost like spicy fairy floss.

More unrepairable e-waste in the making. Gross.

Yeah but all they have to do is make it the slightest bit upgradeable or repairable and it'll leave apple in the dust with respect to ethical production.

Better off just learning theory. Much like how I don't need to know how to smelt steel in order to fabricate with it. Soon I won't need to know how to code to get apps made to do what I want/need.

Yeah there's bugger all of the work actually there though and the competition to get it is pretty high. I went through a bunch of interviews over the last year for a mix of systems engineer through to lvl1 support (beggars can't be choosers).

Most offers peaked at 85k. I did a half dozen interviews and had a few offers. Got a good mate who is a data analyst with a fair wack of experience, he struggles to find much available at 120k per annum let alone higher.

Job security in IT hasn't been great to me either. Prior to starting my own company I never had a role last >12 months due to some external factor deleting my job(e.g. company loses support contract). Meanwhile the whole time I've had constant offers to get back into construction. I'm not ticketed or anything I'm just reliable and turn up.

Eh if you live in Aus construction gives tech a run for its money. Work everywhere, you can walk on-site and get >35p/hr with little to no experience. If your ticketed it's more like 80 per hour. Get yourself a abn a shovel and a drill and your off to the races.

NDIS work also pays similar to construction.

You will struggle to find tech wages that match that for the majority of available work. Techs over saturated with employees and as software improves you need less workers to do more IT work erryday. Meanwhile it still takes the same amount of workers to lay a slab or stand a house frame as it did 20 years ago.

Source code is open source doesn't mean squat for safety. Have you audited the code? Do you have the skills etc required to prove its not backdoored?

Because I know I don't have that skill set or time. I do have however some big fat red flags on using it because it was opted for by an entity whose entire existence is based around backdoors and spying.

Honestly i find it absurd that some folks say just because something is open source it's automatically safe. The vast majority of us whether the project is open source or not lack the skill or capacity to pick up on a well obfuscated hole. Hell even the best of us aren't that good.

Went for IT job with Intel gov mob. Got asked to use signal for interviews. Can't trust signal anymore. Definitely backdoored.

Oh fancy that. More anticonsumer actions from apple. Zero surprises.

Waiting for apple simps to come and defend it with some bs. Honestly repeated breaches of law intentionally by apple needs a few execs slapped in jail. Negligent company needs a reigning in.

Lol? If they think this is a story just wait til they workout what the 5 eyes have been upto. Whole pop group? Pleb numbers.

Cross borders whole nation states is where it's at.

Yeah I get to eat out on date night with my partner maybe twice a year if we are lucky. We get takeout maybe once a month. More likely once a quarter. This is a huge amount of money for entertainment.

$840 a year just on watching TV is heaps. $4200 over 5 years. That's a fair wack cash.

Eh device isn't upgradeable or easily repairable. 3/10 for effort. Pretty piss poor given the climate and resources situation the world is in. I expect companies to be more ethical in their production these days. Not just making future e-waste in the form of unrepairable junk.

Tbh not sure why the protocol couldn't be upgraded so that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx and xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx are all accepted. Seems a monumentally shite oversight to not be like that. I mean it's a freaking telephone book address system. Astounding they baked it in just xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and didn't upgrade the protocol at all in the last 20 years (is this just entirely due to profit/asset protecting?).

Response was to make a wholly new protocol when they could have just updated the standard and forced suppliers to patch updates?

USB backwards compatability that shiz. The fact I can take a modern usb device and plug it in a 1.1 gen port and it still just works. Why the hell isn't ipv4 like that for upgrades?

Seriously is there any real technical hurdle why we didn't do it this way?

Imagine being able to keep your entire product suite safe for kids by just forcing your users to prove via id who they are and enforcing an actual age limit.

Honestly the companies and their board members need jail.

Simple fix to all the illegal material and actions performed on ya platform. ID the people who do it by forcing ID verification at signup.

You want anon wild west esque communication? Cool go to 4chan. Stop allowing the largest social media platforms to have it. All it does is promote criminal activities and puts my kids at risk.

Someone covers it further down. There's a whole bunch more to the strength of concrete than the aggregate.

Man last major concreting I did smooth sand would have been awesome. We were already trying to use the finest grade sand we could find. It was on mad max 4. Making concrete not look like concrete (think underwater caverns, cliffs, waterfalls). So smooth is awesome, makes it easy to texture to look like different types of weathered rock.

All the structural strength was from steel rebar with chook mesh wired to it. The crete and scratch coats were about 100mm thick at the most.

Yo it's cement + aggregate makes concrete. As in concrete is the sum of two or more products. Concrete doesn't grip anything. Cement binds and aggregate shape doesn't count for bugger all.

You use tie in rods of rebar to bind one slab to another, not the aggregate because the aggregate does sh*t all for structural strength. It's more for the compressive strength.

Tbh you can make a form or concrete out of perlite and cement. It's light af, great for ship hulls when reinforced with steel. Still concrete,just doesn't need any sand.

Because existing organisation's would lose their profits from sand mining?

Nfi there's plenty of old wives tales from before the time when you could google it and be like "oi gran your talking sh*t" that effect how we do business today. This is probably one of them?

Eh if your jobs management and is taking a few inputs and making a decision on them. Probably get back on the tools mate.

It's really easy to replace or reduce the need via automation just about every function management performs.

Easy as to consult an AI instead of a manager for most of the stuff a manager can do. Real hard to get an ai (or anyone else really) on the tools for a 10 hour shift.
