I was eating salad in my bedroom 2:30 in the morning today.

Me: Fuck, can't sleep I'm hungry. You want anything? Wife: yeah, fill up my water bottle and bring me something to eat.

I went downstairs, made two loaded salads and brought them up to the bedroom.

I might in fact be getting old.

Lol

Wage disparity is getting worse and it's getting harder to get those companies to give those upgrades. They're doing the opposite and just firing people to shed money for reports that make record numbers.

Decent companies that reward people for hard work still exist. But they're no longer the default. You're not going to get this in a cafe or in a fast food job or anything like that, It's going to have to be a skilled labor job in a corporation run by someone who's not a greedy monster which can be kind of a hard find these days.

You're going to need to be pleasant to be around, You might need to brown nose a little bit. Your may you need to point out to your boss that you're doing a good job, don't be afraid to point out your accomplishments.

If you put in the hours and work hard and can't get anywhere change jobs. When your interviewing for new jobs openly point out that you work hard and you're looking for compensation for that. If that hiring manager smirks or makes a face you don't want to work there. Remember your interviewing them maybe even more so than their interviewing you if you already have a job.

It's doable still. To be fair it was never automatic. But I would like to recognize that it's harder than it used to be.

That's a great analogy for carrier grade nat.

For regular nat it's like the pizza is able to get all the way to your house but then has no idea who to go to so somebody has to answer the door and then take the pizza from the door to the person who ordered it themselves.

And IPv6 is like the pizza delivery guy just walks right into the house up the steps into your bedroom and hands you the pizza directly.

The best part is they each have the same exact problems you'd have in real life.

Meeting new people acquires a decided level of non-privacy.

You can go to church, find a volunteer group, find a leisure activity club, find a sports club. If you want relative privacy, social networking is not the way to meet people.

I did a scratch build out of hobby king parts a "few" years ago, fairly open, analog video. Soldered my own fc from a PCB kit. Every time something went on sale, if buy it.

$50 is the problem. Those $50 drones on Amazon are only that cheap because they're an soc blob. They took a generic microcontroller, built some amplifiers to power some trashy DC motors, read a proprietary trash transmitter, and a coupled a tiny battery. Unobtanium junk right down to the props. They're built out of the cheapest proprietary parts to the price point that you can't get and couldn't modify them you could.

You need motors, a frame, props, escs, a transmitter receiver, flight controller,wires, connectors, battery, a balance charger, a prop balancer, a camera, it's transmitter, it's receiver, a display. If you intend to do comfortable fpv, a gimbal.

There's a guy here (https://blog.nathantsoi.com/article/drone-building-101-with-the-hobbyking-fpv-starter-setup/) that did a barbone run at it for $150, but he forgot to include the $60 tx/rx he was using, the battery, the charger, or shipping on the 20-30 parts.

Printed frames are horrible, I made my own, felt great, couldn't handle the smallest crash, and you're gonna crash a LOT figuring out the open FC. Cheap carbon fiber frames and injection molded arms are strongly suggested. After my third full day frame print, I gladly spent $20 on a dead cat frame.

You could go from scratch to flyable for around $300-$350, but it won't be a pleasant crashable 200g park flyer with prop guards. It'll be a fastish, dangerous Ship of Theseus that you tweak and change parts out until you're happy.

Also unsure you could do a truly open control transmitter/reciever reasonably cheaply. They're complicated AF and are only so cheap closed because they're cloned from the same 30yo design with the same ancient proprietary pcbs. Maybe you could do something with a video game controller, hand design a modulator and amplifier, but that open FC is expecting some pretty specific tolerances for it's signals.

checks the news I mean, that's what they appear to be doing successfully.

It now costs $1 to own more than a billion dollars in assets for one *microsecond. We're talking total value here assets, property.

Bezos would be down to a billion in just over 2 days.

To be fair, she's wealthy enough it's probably a Ghost Writer

This is capitalism she's could do both and make a killing.
