It wasn't hard to change, with the main benefit being I no longer came off like a complete dumbass to a room full of women or a trans person.
The most disturbing part of this is the doxing of the girls after the fact and that they shorted them on payment after doing their scenes. Changing the terms of the shoot once they arrived actually has happened a lot in porn over the years.
There is no free lunch in life -- you don't make $3000-$5000 for filming something that will never see the light of day.
It sucks that the girls fell for their con, but there was an extreme amount of naivety on their part that allowed them to be conned in the first place.
My assumption
1. Yang knows that he little chance to win the nom
2. Yang is running so that his ideas enter mainstream convo (successful already due to JRE's massive influence) and the eventual nominee may incorporate them in their platform in some manner
3. He possibly gains enough early steam that he could be a VP candidate or in the administration which helps accomplish goal #2
It would be a lot easier to just tighten your admissions process.
I would assume these types would be filtered out during the admissions process.
First part: Makes perfect sense
Second part: How do you assess this beyond prior school/work history or how quickly they finish the prep course? I could see it being much more difficult to assess with older students/parents/people who struggled in school etc.
Third part: As a non-programmer, any examples of one of these steep curves?
I wasn't meaning to imply the demand isn't there, was just trying to picture LS at scale in 3-5 years (say 25k-100K students a year). Do you think that 75%+ placement is possible at scale -- I'd assume abandonment/failing students etc would increase greatly similar to other "open enrollment" coding bootcamps.
Regardless, it clearly is a +EV decision for any student who is able to get in. Congrats on creating a great product.
How big of a problem is that for your student-to-job conversion rate when the criteria has to become less stringent to scale?
Perfect weather 70% of the year, summer's are hot but easily escapable due to pools and air conditioning, one of the largest public universities in country, unreal amounts of sunshine, little humidity, huge swaths of available land, low cost of living/rent, little traffic besides rush hour, and its trending blue politically as a result of all the inflow of former residents from CA, OR, etc.
San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas all are with-in a 1 hour flight from Sky Harbor. Massive elevation changes with-in 1+ hour drive. Wine country and Mexico to the south and ski slopes/alpine forests and Grand Canyon/Lake Powell to the north.
Will be a swing state in the next 8 years and is likely to have a education focused Dem Gov over the next 4. A focus on education and incentives to lure more tech will be the key.
1. Hire a good personal trainer and go consistently.
2. Your thinking should always be in decades, not years: Investing, relationships, career, etc. Patience is something most 25 year old lack, esp in our modern world. Its now a skill you have to learn.
3. Travel WITH YOUR FRIENDS while everyone's free time is vast.
4. Open and max out your Roth IRA
5. Make sure to acquire a new skill each year: playing an instrument, learning web design, coding, cooking, video editing, scuba diving, painting, flying drones, etc.
The recent swatch of negative press is just amplified 10x in the US because it almost always revolves around Donald Trump being elected. If Hillary won and this same stuff leaked it would be noted but die fairly quickly in the news.
Every old person practically lives on FB 24/7. Most middle age people are on there and will stay due to kids, family, etc. Millenials use Messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp like crazy.
