Leaving work for childcare is currently a valid reason to go on unemployment. They should try to work this out with one of their employers. They could each go down to 50% time and pay and be supplemented by unemployment currently. There is a lot of flexibility they aren't taking advantage of and then complaining about how hard it is.

That would be the opposite of paying your loan.

Yeah, my wife and I went to the spoonbread festival a few weeks ago it was a lot of fun.

The college does a lot of cool things in the area. A lot of the classes in the area for crafts and such are nice.

Yeah, that's a huge issue. The ability for the local talent to share their expertise with each other is important too. I agree, but there are solutions to the problem. More meetups and groups have been started in the area, Lexington, and some more rural areas too.

I don't know what the exact cause is, but I got the impression the reason 50 were admitted was that there was a limit to the scale of the program, not that everyone else was unqualified. The article mentioned they are admitting 90 the next year and were continuing to expand.

I had 400 level EE classes with a couple guys who came up through community colleges. They weren't always prepared for the classes. It was ironic because it wasn't they didn't understand the previous material, but because they hadn't dealt with poor instructors and didn't have the relationships of the previous 3 years studying with the same people.

It was possible at the same university to walk into a lab and start working on joint projects with NASA, the NSA or local industry, where other local universities and community colleges don't offer as much in that regard. On the other hand those professors running the labs didn't really seem to care where the students came from, whether they were in high school or the community college up the road if they were willing to work.

How are you getting unlimited books? I'm limited to the few hundred my local library has.

I've invested and mined crypto before, but this is worrying to me. There are enough payday loan offices and gas stations minting money off lottery tickets in Kentucky. The consensus is people keep going to them because it allows them to buy hope, they aren't concerned with the odds, just the feeling they can strike it rich is enough to get someone to buy a scratcher.

The quote from the article “What crypto allows is for the masses to be venture capitalists,” seems sensationalist to me, not to mention inaccurate. Aimed more at selling a lifestyle than educating consumers.

If someone thinks an incredibly volatile and aggressive asset is a replacement for a pension they have probably have gross misconceptions about what they are investing in. Letting someone that ignorant of what they're doing buy in like that is completely irresponsible. I really hope they are being responsible in educating their investors and haven't just found a new way to fleece Kentuckians.

I think a lot of work has been undertaken for a ROS1->2 bridge. It should be feasible to use this to have ROS on a micro and bridge to an existing ROS 1 code base.

I think the last paragraph in the article is key, the most interesting and tiring arguments are the ones where both parties believe the other is arguing from the gut and have retroactively reasoned while they are being perfectly rational. Being able to see when you might be doing this as well often makes the discussion much less adversarial.

I spent a good amount of time working with Brillo when Google was first pushing it. The thing I liked most about working with it was the system they had for OTA updates. Even in beta they had support for staged rollouts with some analytics on the rollout. There was lockin with the solution as updates used Google's cloud and was signed by both your and their key, but it was a really robust system considering how new it was.

I really hope the project gets more attention. Not only was the firmware update system nice, but having the promis of having the core OS managed and only having to worry about your application was nice as well.

I would really like to talk to some VC's, unfortunately I'm based in the Midwest, it might as well be the majove as far as funding goes or so I understand. So I'm trying to get a sizable MVP and traction before spending time talking to people. No one will talk to you unless you already have the product launched with users here. Where I'm at the Ben and Jerry's model almost makes more sense because by the time you can get funding you almost don't need it anymore.

On the flip side, where I'm located the 120k from yc seed money would be a year's runway for me and a cofounder or two. That and there is more talent here than people think, or at least more good devs looking for work than hiring.

If anyone has some contacts or VCs want to get in contact with me take my username at Gmail to talk.
