Okay this is pretty much done and it's amazing now I need to figure out all the rest of the parts now the reason I could figure out all this before I did all the rest is because most of this doesn't have to have any reference to the rest of the machine the only thing it needs is has to attach by these pivot points so it was easy to design this whole thing but now with the next parts of the machine they all connect to each other in ways that are not necessarily obvious so I kind of need to design the whole next whole rest of everything all at once at least at least get the main details out of the way so in order to do that I've been pulling materials out just taking a look at what I have I have three of these which I think will probably be useful right there and you know I have a lot of like little pieces and you know maybe not little but smaller than those but I'm gonna need some big pieces to make this big frame that the saw needs to go on so I just went and got the only thing I think I currently have that'll do it it's on my boat right now this thing here used to be the mast of a ship actually that the second mass this is a smaller one there was a bigger one and it's just you know I've been saving it for something really good there's so many amazing things I could do with it and I think I need to use it for the lumber mill even though they're like a hundred other things I could do with it but it's like the perfect thing for that big main frame part because it's gonna be really strong it's gonna be heavy enough that you know the thing's not gonna tip over very easily but it's gonna be light enough that it's easy to move yeah it's just it's just like the perfect thing so I think probably I'm gonna use this how long it is just like well it's longer than my boat by quite a bit anyway and then I also have back here in my you know junk stuff this cart it's like a pretty strong I need to pull it out of there junk on top of it but it's a pretty strong stainless steel rectangle with some sides coming up and even has some wheels on the bottom which maybe I could use to move the whole thing I don't know I'll have to check them out I need to pull that out get this why is there so many so much cardboard in here has this become your cardboard dumping ground yeah yeah I'm talking to you this is like Aurora's mega workshop and whenever she gets tired something it goes off the end of the table right here so we're gonna have to clean it up sorry what happens oh it accidentally falls off sorry well either way we need to clean it up and I need to get that out of there now I'm at the part where I think I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to do however I want to spend maybe like a day just rolling around other ideas in my head like kind of variations and things and then some ideas that are just completely weird and crazy you know because every once in a while one of those nut brain ideas turns out to be really good so yeah so I'm probably gonna use that ship mast to build a big frame and use those big rectangle pieces to build a piece that goes on that frame that can move up and down and then use that stainless steel cart to move to build a piece that goes left and right on that second piece and then that stainless steel piece is what the saw will attach to and yeah and then I'll have wheels under that big frame because it has to have wheels so it can drive you know along a log and cut a log and then it would drive along probably a couple pipes that I don't have yet but I can get pipes that's not that hard so that's probably what I'm gonna do but then another part of my brain is working on a different problem I say to that guy okay look you've got this saw blade and it's spinning let's just look at the problem in the most basic way this saw blade has to go like this all the way down a log and then rotate and then come back all the way back down the log so get rid of all preconceived notions don't think about what you're probably gonna do just throw everything out and just start with that most basic principle and see what you come up with and sometimes I mean that guy comes up with stuff I end up doing kind of a lot of time actually although right now I'm pretty sure I know what I'm gonna do but yeah let me just run it around in my head for a while and thinking like this usually involves a lot of pacing around I'll do some cooking play some video games just like just like yeah doing stuff in my head alright just for visual reference this is the basic idea that I'm probably gonna end up doing the blue part here that's the you know the main frame the main frame which rolls along whatever track and this whole thing moves down the track right and then this red part is the part that moves up and down so it'll slide up and down on these blue parts and then the yellow part there that will slide this way so the yellow part slides this way you could say that's the x-axis this is the a y-axis and this is a z-axis I mean depending on how you want to orient your axis axes in any way and I'm thinking of making this mainly out of that that masked from the ship and this part those aluminum aluminium rectangle tubes and then this yellow part out of that steel cart thing and these this all is not the correct details at all like all the connections and the shapes of everything but this is just to get a rough idea of what I'm probably gonna do but my brain is just gonna think of all kinds of different things and someone's probably gonna give me some suggestions and some comments here and maybe I'll read those two and at some point I'll either do this I don't know


When I got my 2080ti, it was the fastest gun in the west. No other card to touch it But all gunslingers get old and now a new generation wants to take the crown away Can the fastest of the old generation compete with the slowest of the new? I'm Rafael from Hardware Sugar and we're going to find out in this one-on-one match This is a big ass card Saying what you will about PC gaming being expensive But this card right here represents the attempts of developers to democratize PC gaming So that the regular PC gamer can sell less of their body parts PC gaming will still be more expensive than console gaming But because of the 3000 line and the 3070 in particular like the one ASUS sent us over It will be dramatically cheaper and let's admit it PC is the master race bite me I Have reviewed the ASUS tough RTX 3070 for a month now and compared it with the performance of my RTX 2080ti And I am so thankful that I bought the latter a year and a half ago And not just before the release of the 3070 because my soul would have been crushed if I had Overall the performance between the two are very similar But the costs are galaxies away from each other. I bought my 2080ti for 67,000 380 and the ASUS tough 3070 locally retails for around the 31 to 35,000 peso region thus making the 3070 close to 100% cheaper than the 2080ti when it first came out Even if you aren't buying any of the NVIDIA 3000 GPUs that just makes all the cards before it theoretically a lot cheaper of course it is normal for old tech to become cheaper But what we want to emphasize is that it is not just cheaper, but Dramatically cheaper we're talking about prices, which will cascade down throughout all graphics cards Eventually we did a head-to-head game comparison between the two cards We tried it on two monster games Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Red redemption to This is the heartland we're going to and one old-ish but still highly competitive game Rainbow six siege For the review process I installed MSI afterburner so we could compare real-time frame rates and Check for bottlenecking bottlenecking occurs when you see the CPU at 100% while the GPU remains below 100 You definitely won't see that happen here with my test unit But I thought it'd be nice to mention it for yourself just in case you wanted to check for your own rig The two most important criteria for a graphics card is number one how high can you turn up the graphics and number two What frame rates can you achieve with those maxed out graphics to keep things simple? I maxed out the graphics and all our test games and so the footage you see here is everything on ultra But enough talk, let's shoot some people I have gamed on 60 FPS my entire life Even when I got an RTX 2080 Ti I didn't feel the need to change my monitor because it felt epic to game on 34 inch ultra wide 4k However, for purposes of this review, I was forced to borrow a monitor from the shop in order to properly check it This entire month there for is me experiencing high refresh rates for the first time in my life And it was eye-opening if you want to be an average warzone player Then you absolutely must get at least 60 frames per second However, if you want to be even remotely competitive, you need to be averaging between 90 to 100 frames The 3070 will most definitely give you a phenomenal gaming experience Which will future-proof your setup for at least three years After that you may need to lower future games down to medium settings. I know cringe In COD, it is important to distinguish between the frame rates in warzone and the frame rates in the campaign and the smaller multiplayer matches This is because warzone requires a huge amount of power because of the sheer size of map and detail Let it needs to render But check out the frame rates when I jump out of the plane on both cards On the 3070, I was pushing between 100 to 113 frames per second when I jumped out of the plane in warzone On the 2080 Ti, it was more like between 110 to 120 frames per second For the competitive gamer, even a boost of 10 frames will make a huge difference For the semi-competitive and casual gamer though, you will hardly notice it Walking and engaging in warzone On the 3070, we were pushing around 85 to 110 frames To be honest, I couldn't tell by feel the differences between the two games during actual play But only noticed it when I compared video footage between the two side by side On the 2080 Ti, we were pushing 95 to 120 frames When it is just a dual match of four players or Gulag 1 vs 1, we saw drastically different frames The 3070 gave me frames of 110 to 125 and was usually within the 120 range and above The 2080 Ti was pushing anywhere between 110 to 145 Most of the time, the 2080 Ti was within the 130 range and above when it came to these small skirmishes On the 3070, we were pushing an average of 130 frames per second Hitting a low of 105 and a higher of 157 Let me check, I've been spotted He's fucking blocking the way On the 2080 Ti though, I was getting crazy frames Something like an average of 150 and pushing to even 200 I don't exactly know how that is even possible since my monitor is capped at 160 frames But that's what MSI Afterburner was saying and this is actually an MSI monitor as well What I can say however is that this was otherworldly smooth It was most definitely a far cry from the quality smoothness I was using the two cards on However, to keep things fair, I repeat that we focused on maxing out graphics on all our test games So all the frames you were seeing are based purely on what happens when graphics are maxed out We brought both cards to their knees with Red Dead Redemption 2 On the ASUS Tom 3070 with maxed out graphics, we were fluctuating from 45 to 70 frames I could have probably got it up higher if I lower the graphics a little But I stuck my ultra graphics rule for purposes of consistency Red Dead is also a game I would classify as cinematic gaming Which to me means you are meant to be wowed with how lifelike the world looks and feels You don't need to worry about any competitive edge if you are just fighting AI But you may want to bring out your higher refresh rates if you plan to go online Allow me now to wrap up by highlighting one crucial difference Between my gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti and the ASUS TUF 3070 Which I think is the deciding factor and that is how cool the ASUS TUF is Quite literally the ASUS TUF 3070 was always close to 10 degrees Celsius lower than that of my gigabyte RTX 2080 Ti regardless of which game I played My room while it has a lot of ventilation also gets a lot of heat because of the sun which comes in through the glass wall And I hardly use air conditioning as I and most of our subscribers are from the Philippines We are all too familiar on how every degree Matters because it is hot all year round a Lot of viewers ranked the ASUS TUF model of the 3070 to be within the top 10 list among the 40 or so other variants Other reviewers recorded that the ASUS TUF model averaged temperatures of 60 to 65 degrees Celsius When used in-game which is consistent with what we were seeing in all three games during our review Some of the other variants such as the pallet jet stream Zotac twin edge and gigabyte OC quiet BIOS version of the 3070 pushed an average of 70 degrees I surmise that the three fan variants like the ASUS TUF help a great deal with heat dissipation unlike the two fan variants Got a vendor here if you need supplies In conclusion the ASUS TUF RTX 3070 gets an approval rating from us of 9 out of 10 for granting its user an affordable entry into Ultra graphics gaming on PC Again a person needed to spend double the price just half a year ago in order to get similar graphics Not only that but the car delivers almost the same level of graphics as that of an RTX 2080i And is cooler by an average of 10 degrees Celsius from that of my MSI RTX 2080i In short if you are shopping for an RTX 3070 The usual rule as of the moment is to get whatever is available and which feels like a good price Secondly consider the ASUS TUF RTX 3070 as one of the best Options between the other versions of the 3070 I'll leave a link to the comparisons of each 3070 model in the description below Are you going RTX or AMD on your next graphics card?

you ever heard this myth everything happens for a reason so just accept it well there's kind of truth to that if i jump off a building and break my legs yes everything happened for a reason the reason was gravity like that's why you break your legs and physics legs brittle it's concrete not brutal so people interpret everything happens for a reason be like well i was meant to learn from that thing and then bs read richard dockins the selfish gene one of the most important books written in the last century he says organisms that only learn through trial and error lose to organisms that can learn through other people's and trial and error is anybody here we got a little live audience anybody here ever had to be hit by a car to learn to look both ways i did it i kind of learned from just somebody telling me big car two tons velocity smash dead and i now always look both ways


What's happening guys thanks for stopping back by here for another episode with the rust belt mechanic today We've got something that is really awesome, and it's something that you guys have all been asking for here in the most recent months It's the fact of how short we are on technicians and how you guys can get started in the automotive field becoming a technician So stay tuned. We've got a great panel here, and we're gonna get into answering the questions that everybody has Getting into the video. We're gonna give a little bit of Pretext to everything that we're gonna give the viewpoints based on kind of what we're dealing with here in the dealership community Yes, there are a little bit of differences when it comes to getting into the field at like a mom-and-pop shop The independent dealers that kind of stuff, but here in the Chrysler program, you know, we're here working at a dealership So we're gonna show you guys the ins and outs of what we have gone through in that time Like I said, we got Brandon here who is a first-year cap student So he is fresh green right in the cap program And then we have Captain Ron over there that we've been seeing a couple of times here He is a second-year student. It's about to graduate here pretty soon to my left here We've got Mr. Tom Freels who is the Chrysler cap coordinator at Sinclair Community College Yes, I'll let you go into more detail on what you are and where you've been I'm the coordinator for the Mopar cap program. That is a two-year associate degree program to train technicians up through level two across our skill category There are roughly 30 cap schools in the country Our cap school in Dayton, Ohio services basically all of Ohio and Indiana Southern Michigan Northern Kentucky That's basically technically my area. We will be sure to put a couple of links down in the description below for The cap program and everything through Sinclair Community College is located in Dayton, Ohio so usually the first thing that people have to ask when it comes to Thinking about getting into the field is how much money am I going to make? How much it'll cost everything along those lines? So the first question I would have for Mr. Freels here is the cost of the program What is it going to cost you to get started in it? So cost is a lot depends a lot on the region. So I'll just use ours example, of course, but Most the most cap schools are located in a state funded school So it's a public school and that's a good thing because that means it's subsidized by taxes so our school if you're if you live in County your tuition fees and Incidentals and things get you about six to eight thousand dollars for the entire two years, which is very good Yeah Then it goes by out of County since out the in County people have more levy support for taxes and the out of County is still a state Supported but it's less so with the bumps up a little bit. It's more like I would say 12 Without the numbers for right in front of me and the variables there with tools and books and stuff when I was in it That's about what it cost me it cost me about $12,500 to be able to go through the entire program for two years and then out of state would be about 18 I think is about what that comes in at and You know again, it's the little variables that come in there are going to be Whether or not you need housing or not and that's a whole nother discussion, but most of most people they're out of state Obviously they're gonna unless they're right inside the border of Kentucky or Indiana and they want to make that commute They could I have people to do it before What I'm experiencing now is you got Students that are all from a close to Dayton and it starts to get a little saturated So if I have like right now two students in the same dealership It starts to get harder if these guys are successful as they intend to be and I know they'll be Then it's gets hard to keep putting a new person in every year Whereas a bigger dealer in a bigger market might just say give me one every year and I you know if it works out It doesn't if it doesn't I keep the flow going that's easier to do in a bigger market Cincinnati market Columbus market So I need people from farther away and that way the housing thing really helps out so So it's not just for the the students who are right here in the immediate vicinity Like you said, they're you know ten or so schools nationwide who who do things like this in a 30 Schools nationwide that do things like this that are in this You know local range to you, but you can not be local to the school and still be able to go through that One of the next biggest things that we get questioned about for the cost of everything is going to be the cost of tools Here in the US. I know it's different in the UK and Canada a lot of dealerships there supply a lot of tools, but here in the US 90 to 95% of the time the dealerships require the technicians to own their own tools Yes, we do have certain specialty tools that the dealership gives and provides But you do need to buy your own tools Some of the cost is able to be offset here and there mostly by tool grants are available here and there as well as different Different subsidies and grants that you might have through graduating from different high school programs as well Financial aid financial aid as well. Yep, and then also the tool programs that a lot of these Schools offer through the different manufacturers are topped off and much better even than that Macco Mac and snap on usually offer their students a 50 to 60% discount on Tools which makes it easier and is actually even cheaper than what most dealers and truck drivers can buy these tools for So the cost at which you get these high quality tools are insanely cheap and they're deals that can't pass up on Now you can still go out and you know spend your money on a lot of the cheaper tools and things that Barbara Fritz Here's what not I'm not going to knock them But you can you know be cost-effective in what you do now under my experience when I first started out I spent right around $4,000 to $5,000 on my initial tool setup, and I think that's a good round number At least in this area to get you guys started on being able to start off on a good toolbox What do you guys see in the spending? How much did you spend in your original tools? I think on my original toolbox. I got a toolbox and just a basic set of tools that I would need I think it was about $4,000 $4,500 that I spent on toolbox and tools It's out-of-pocket, but you know That's one of those initial investments that is going to make you a lot of money Ron about what do you think you spent on those if I remember correctly my initial order from Snap-on when I ordered all my tools and my box was just over $6,000 Is this both at the discount through the school? Yeah, yeah Yeah, I got about you know if you were looking at If you're looking at full price on snap-on, I probably spent $12,000 in tools and tools and storage When in reality, I only spent six easily so so you're getting a good bang for your buck in that area So you're spending you know, but depending on what area you live in compared to the school You're looking at spending anywhere from 10 to you know $18,000 on tuition and then you're also looking at the cost of another four to $6,000 in initial tool costs Yes, you will have more tool costs later in the future as you become a you know Better technician and everything you'll need more tools better tools bigger toolbox And you'll get that something shiny syndrome and just want more tools in general like most of us So that's where you're looking at in your cost You set off by grants some of the grants you can get a lot of the times Usually schools will offer usually a thousand dollar tool grants some of the times for their incoming students if you're able to get one of those So it's offset by that So when you're looking at cost, that's about what you're looking at for a program that is generally Done by this now the biggest thing that you could have is to offset this is when you are able to go into a dealership and Become a technician here and go in for the program Sometimes the dealership will pay for your tuition So offset that even more if a dealer is able to pay for your tuition You're just out the cost of your tools. How often do you see that the ball is basically in the student's court? to as far as tuition tools However angle they want to do it because this whole theme is need for technicians The need for technicians you need them and you need to keep them. So in the past there I've had students do Agreements or contracts or how do you want to call it about the dealer paying half the tuition or reimbursing for tuition after graduation? I've thrown around some other ideas about You know pay for their tools and if they stay the tools stay and they stay if they leave the tools stay You know if they leave the dealership so that way there's basically an asset that doesn't just go away like a piece of paper when somebody leaves a contract sitting there, so It's it was actually more common years ago that almost every cap student had a Contract and that was a 50-50 contract 50 50 percent tuition that kind of went away in the dark days of 2008 slash 2009 when a couple companies wound up going bankrupt and we won't talk about that anymore, but when that all you know Cleaned up and things got better and the economy improved and car sales went through the roof and everything It's starting to be and especially the need for technicians and the need to keep them like I said It's starting to get more more popular I actually have a dealer group that's actually gonna it's not so much a contract as much as if you stay with the dealer They basically reimburse you for continuing education, which means that if you're in the CAF program, that's education so They're basically paying for you to go to school not up front, which is probably smart But you know you got to have you got to have a skin in the game on each side That's that's about what we do with the dealership here. These two we have signed on the contracts I won't go into too much detail But it's based on they have a contract at the setting that they will go to school and After they get done with school, they'll work at the dealership, which okay now I've got a contract where I've got a guaranteed Job in the market for two more years. All right, most people just sign on at that one But then our dealer will also give them a tool stipend for a certain amount to pay for that initial set of tools as well Or they'll pay for part or half of their tuition Which is another great thing for for these guys as well It keeps them, you know in the green somewhat on some of their initial costs helps offset that as well Let's give them a guaranteed future at a dealership and in working towards that one now It's something they've they've worked really hard for and The they'll continue to work hard for but this gives them an opportunity to work more after the fact as well Their contracts are also going to be depending on how much they might make afterwards After they graduate there are still more certifications to get whether it be level two and three Certifications a se certifications the more certification you guys can get the better you are off That gives you more bargaining power at the table when it comes to your dealer or if your dealer wasn't as great You're able to bargain for more money in that aspect as well so it's something where you need to be your own advocate and you need to Want to do this training and certification go out there and find a dealership who's going to want to pay for you and Those are happening. You know occurring more and more lately. So the shortage that we have in technicians is absolutely Huge right now. I know you have a couple of statistics on that. Don't you? Yeah, so we throw that that terminology around of a shortage of tax and things like that and I Wanted to make sure I had real numbers. So the bureau labor statistics sounds official enough so So the number of graduates of auto tech programs Basically, this is gets goes back away. So 2016 will be the the the latest numbers. They got for data-wise. So there were 38 Let's just say 38,000 graduates from auto tech programs. That's any kind of program in the country That's not just capped that would be any automotive school for-profit non-profit manufacturer non-manufacturer The industry needed 75,000 new tax. So we're not graduating Half the people barely over half the people that you need to cover the need of new tax now That's tax in every category from Retail stores to mom-and-pop stores to dealerships to Government to whatever so you got every aspect as a whole. So basically there's those are real numbers now on the Chrysler side I was hoping to find that in print, but I didn't because that's been meetings and things I've been into over the years they said within a couple years This was probably to say 2016 to keep it consistent They told us at a national conference that they need 5,000 technicians by I'd say 2020 so The cap program isn't alone can't graduate 5,000 students in that amount of time So there's the need the needs there. It's documented the government document the manufacturers documented So I just like to make sure I got real numbers before I just thought some things off I did find a couple of numbers here and there here in our region our Training centers they certify and they help to train all these technicians So the technicians that they are training in this area is usually from the Pittsburgh area all the way over to Indianapolis from Toledo down through northern Kentucky area. So in this General area we average that there's about a hundred dealerships and just for round numbers sake We'll say that on average there are 10 Technicians who are Chrysler based in each one of these dealerships. So you're serving servicing right around a thousand Technicians who are in the field wanting to be certified out of those thousand technicians There are only 30 fully master certified technicians for Chrysler based in That entire area 30 out of a thousand. So to put that in perspective That's absolutely crazy and you guys could be part of what you know fills that void There are only 55 To level certified master technicians and now we can get into the different specifics of what a certified master technician is But you know in Chrysler's standings They are certified to do all the Chrysler things. They are also ASC certified as well in those respective areas. So In three levels and two levels of certification through Chrysler There are only 85 of those guys or girls in that respective area So when we talk about a shortage of technicians and good technicians at that the need for them is Absolutely in sign The biggest thing that you guys are going to need to find out is what kind of a technician you want to be Do you want to be one of those other? You know 850 to 900 technicians who aren't on that certified technician list You could do that you could get by escape by with you know what you can do You could be working on suspension stuff here and there But if you're if your one is greater the field is there and it's starving for technicians like that Now the the technicians that we have here with us They've been doing this thing for a couple of months. So What is your perspective on What you think about the dealership and working at the dealership and going to school at the same time? So the difference I see between the school and the dealership is this So for people who come into come into wanting to be a mechanic who are not very savvy in the field of being a mechanic Which to be honest was me I came in knowing really basic stuff about vehicles Didn't know a whole lot and I've actually learned quite a bit from the school itself You learn all the technical sides of things on how to you know, properly do things properly try to diagnose things Um and go through the steps of what's you know in the curriculum of learning from the school um, but the big difference is is that Being in the dealership and being at school are two are two totally different environments Um, I feel like there's a lot of times that I learn stuff from school But there's times that when I'm here at the dealership I get a lot more and a lot better experience and learning experience from working on live cars with You know season techs who who know what they're doing like Kyle and The other technicians that are here that For some people may not be the way they the way they learn but for me personally having that Sit down and go through the steps of how to do something and having someone explain as you're doing it Why you're doing it this way? Makes working on a live vehicle a whole different learning experience than Sitting in the classroom and taking apart, you know an axle that's been taken apart 50 million times Um, yeah, you learn the ins and outs of it, but until you get out into the real world You actually see these You know imperfections or these problems that show up um It's hard to translate between You know point a and point b. So that's one of the big things about I agree with that one I think one of the biggest things that this kind of a program offers is training not only in a school, but the on the in On hand, you know kind of training And I know that some of you aren't going to have you know the best of times there There aren't always the best master technicians to follow around every, you know chance that you get You may you know get that one one guy that really doesn't really care that much about Working, but there also might be that dealership that doesn't really care about you that much as well Sticking you in and will change bay. Have you pushed a broom all day long? that's where again, you need to be your own advocate for things and know your value in this market is A lot greater than those guys can put forward so you make your goals And you stick to them and this kind of a program generally will take care of What you need and how you want to move forward in your career that being said Since you brought that up Remember that when you start you did just start and this is this is a hot topic of the day with a couple students right now but Like ron if you started and basically was what we would call green and he admits that and I like that and I appreciate that And you can't expect that you're going to do the most awesomest things in the first couple weeks of working somewhere um basically your uh Your punctuality and what they can rely on you for is probably the most important when you start out of just like any job so I I get feedback from some students some of the better students and some of the not so Good students, but oh i'm changing oil. I'm like, okay. Well If you just started at any job I have no way to gauge where your skill level is at until they put you in something that is consistent To see if that's what you can handle So I basically kind of say then you better be the best damn oil changing guy they've ever seen And basically you get out of that job by being so darn good at it that you have to but they have to They're conveyed to give you something else to do if that's the best political correct way to say And and what I mean by that is this is a process and this is a training program So the best thing that I heard out of ron, which I agree with is You are and I want you to learn more in the dealership than you do with me or my colleagues And that's intentional because we only have you for so long and we're trying to convey so much information And yes, we're the book side of it to the most part most of us like myself have plenty of Time in the in the shop and swinging wrenches But we're following the curriculum. We're following asc standards We're following standards of the state because we're basically awarding you a degree if you complete So we have to follow a lot of things, but there is no substitute or replacement For on the job learning and that's the best part of this program or any of the ones like it I just like for people to understand when they get started that is you are starting out in a career This is not just what you're doing for the next couple months And I think some of them can't see past the door On worrying about only doing this and only doing that the intention of the program And when it works correctly like it's working here because there's three people sitting here that either graduated or going to Is yeah, did you change all of when you started? Two years straight you change well you take out trash when you started Yeah for about eight months when you turn down an old change when it's the middle of winter and nothing's going on Still don't damn right you won't They're not seeing the big picture. Okay, so Everybody wants to jump in and start putting super chargers on hellcats and that's just not day-to-day work Okay, hopefully so I'll be cool stick to the stick to the plan and the goal That was another big thing is some some guys that are starting I could see they don't really have a goal past What's going on for the weekend if they didn't even thought that far so um The need is big we've talked about that But when you start out, it's a big picture You're not starting out to make all kinds of millions of dollars while you're a student You're still a student Soak it up learn it because flat rates for real and it will make or break you so you got to get so prepared so Little so box Hey, that works all the same and and once you get to that point of you know, you actually made it You can you can get there Um, like I said, some of the biggest questions that people ask is how much money are you going to make and doing it? And I know that will greatly differ from the regions that you live And I know you guys out in california you're going to make a lot ton more money than us out here in the sticks of Ohio but The need is great and if you're your own advocate and you can fight for what you Are trained to do and you're the best at what you can do you can make good money at it So i'm going to put a couple of numbers out there just uh for reference on about what you guys could make around here Um, usually guys when they start out in the program Just making your hourly rate. They work hourly right around 12 an hour You can expect that, you know, generally just about everywhere middle of america here The more certifications you get the further you get in the program They might bunch be bump you up give you a little bit of a raise once you graduate That's your big step. You're going to be going to flat rate whether you're ready for it or not It's usually how the thing works and i'll do another video later on flat rate work and what that means and how that works But you're going to be going flat rate and usually they'll bump you out Uh, usually to about 14 15 bucks an hour Now after that point you're going to be getting more certifications Um, you're going to start doing ase testing you can start being a little bit higher on in there And i think a good round number for for a technician who is fairly well certified is going to be in the 18 To 20 dollars an hour range right around there if you get all your certifications now once you start getting some Um years under your belt you get all your certifications You start getting a couple of master certifications Then you're going to start getting up into the 22 to 25 dollars an hour range and then once that more of you know that certification You've gotten there then it's all about experience If you can turn the wrenches and you can make money for the dealership and they see that you can make that money That's where you can make your own golden road for yourself As long as you continue to move forward continue to get training literally every year of your life You might as well expect that one You can move up in the world and this is the field in which you can do it You can write your own ticket. So just think about that and whatever you can do for yourself Is how far that you can really move on I guess uh, I'm going to go across the table here and Give one bit of advice for the viewers on what you think if you saw somebody who was going to go into this program What would you advise them? So my big advice is um Go in with the mentality of I want to go in and do this and learn Don't go in and be that goof-off person in class That's all your friends Yeah, yeah, don't Don't follow your friends in because that's what they're doing if it's something that you want to do do it But if you're going to go in go in knowing that you're going to have people that are going to be more than likely in at any point of their walk of life anywhere between 18 at right out of school to I think in my class. I've got a couple people who are in their 40s um older than me and We're there to learn and get our education and there are several times that I personally have had to get on people because they're goofing off in class and Making it hard for me to be able to actually learn what I need to learn Um, they may come from an automotive background. I don't I need to be there and I need to learn these things So if you're going to go to school and this is what you want to do for a career Be there to be serious about it.  Yeah, it all works out. Yeah. Yes Brandon whether Whether you Know you know cars.  Yeah Whether you know it or not you go in there you learn and You can prove yourself at the dealership that will again Maybe help out your pay help out Who you know there at the dealership make friends while you're at school you While you're learning not kind of like Ron was saying don't goof off don't Follow. I mean yeah make friends there. Um, but if they're going down the wrong path Don't Follow them Make your own path make your own goal Set your own goal um And just follow it Very good. Pay attention. Hey, yeah attention in class Tom My bars sign up Sign up Where's the pen? No, I mean this is the question was basically somebody that's starting in in like my program In general or We're just going into the field into a program like this or wanting to start into it. Yeah Basically, if you're in be all in um But the other side of it is Don't fall for the how big a toolbox can I buy in my first year? You know, maybe get some experience and uh income under your belt before that goes on So what we're saying is that that bond is not the only what we're saying What we're saying is that when you start you're not going to end up with what he's got Let's just put it that way 10 years in made me It is a training program and sometimes sometimes I feel like some of these guys get Uh impatient about wanting to be the top dog when they don't even understand what it takes to be the top dog and they haven't put their They haven't even put their uh their own work into it yet and uh It's you know and back to the question of what kind of money you're going to make That's a really hard one to pin down obviously regionally, but it's not just regionally It's your own skill set because there I have graduates That I just talked to a couple in the last couple weeks because I was doing my normal dealer visits around the area to the students like Brandon that are in on their intern right now And graduates from four and five years ago, right? So now this isn't brand new out of school This has been in not only been in the training program I'm not sure what level they are without looking them up But they're flat rate tax turning hours and they can basically dictate what kind of money they need to stay there So I'll just give you generally the gist is I talked to one that was going to leave where they're at to go to another dealer And when they were going to go to another dealer the dealer said, uh, how about this much to stay? so that's basically what's going on because They can't afford to lose somebody that it has the training and is turning hours to start all over To get somebody to fill that spot you figure this out after a while. I don't just mean yeah, I know cars you see similar patterns You I used to have fun with we'd look at tickets and guess what it was before we even went and pulled the car in because We saw what model it was and we saw what the customer complaint was and you could you could throw dollars down and go I bet it's this Just by the complaint and that's cool because that's that's proficiency and that's That's how you can start turning some hours and experience. I can't teach you experience He can't teach you to you. That's why it's called experience.  He's getting 30 bucks an hour flat rate Wow to stay where he's at Not saying who it is not saying what dealers there's a hundred dealer to take a pic But the point is big money can be made but not it's not a given This isn't a oh, I signed up to work at the plant in a few years. I'm going to make that kind of money. No training experience Showing up doing it You got to be all in you got to love this stuff to do it or it wouldn't be here I think I think if I were to give a bit of information or a bit of advice That's what I would build on When I first started into it, I'm one of those all in or nothing kind of guys And unless you can say a hundred percent that you are going to be all in And you're going to be the best in your field Then what's the point to it? Why would you want to get into something that's going to be a career or something that you want to make Your everyday, you know living for Why would you want to go into something unless you were going to be the best at it? Me under my personal beliefs If I'm not going to be the best at something then there's no point of actually getting into it So you got to be persistent. You got to do the training. You have to be a self-advocate for yourself You have to be the that guy that says yes, I'm going to be the best at what I do And I'm going to go do all the training. I'm going to be humble and I'm going to Listen to that other certified master technician who has 30 years under his belt Because he might know a couple of things.  No, that's not what it's about You're here to learn and if you stop learning in this field Then you just wrote your ticket out of business. You're obsolete. You're obsolete.  There's not many carburetors to rebuild right now Exactly. There's no distributors at the time right now Moving forward in in the in the car industry things are going to change There's going to be huge changes in the industry in the next five years guaranteed It's going to turn itself upside down and you better be ready for what's coming It's going to change and you're going to have to change with the times So my advice would be to be your own advocate keep learning and be the best in your field for what you can do That's about all we've got for this one I know we could sit here and talk for another hour or so But we might do another couple of uh, little live stream interviews here and there So if you guys have any other questions for any of us, you know You've seen the different perspectives from being a new guy in the field to somebody who's Been through training for 10 years to the actual guy who's doing the training for them If you guys have any questions feel free to drop those down in the comments down below And we will get back to you and answer those maybe in a future video Thank you again. I really appreciate all the help and support that you guys give for the channel If it wasn't for you guys, we wouldn't be able to do awesome and cool stuff like that As always guys, thank you and you guys stay awesome


Okay. It's now noon. Good afternoon. My name is Tim LaBelle. I'm with Hewlett-Packard. I'm a senior product manager in the HP Cloud Group working on the Helion product. So that's our Helion OpenStack distribution, as well as our Helion development platform product. And today we're going to be talking about competitive advantage using OpenStack. One of my responsibilities at HP is to work with customers and help those customers articulate what they're doing, bring that information back in and help us build better products over time. So brought a couple of customers with me today. I have Orlando Bader from Ormuko and Kevin Fluth from Intralinks. And we'll talk a little bit with what they're doing. Ormuko is a service provider located in Montreal. And Orlando, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself and the company? Yeah, perfect. So I am the CEO for Ormuko. We're a cloud delivery platform for service providers and enterprise in which we provide hybrid cloud, private and public and wide-leveling offer for our clients. So I founded the company in 2008. So I leave the transition from a telecommunication carrier, from a system integrator to a cloud provider. And we build these to comply with data sovereignty across the world. And one of our goals right now is to go and select partners in each country in which we can empower with our solution. And we have offices in North America and in the end. Great. Now, Orlando has an open-stack cloud running for quite some time now. We grabbed a little video that you sent over that we'll look here in terms of, let's take a little bit of a look at the product and you can talk through a little bit about what's going on. There you go. So basically it took us 24 months of developing R&D to make a cloud that simple. We're building an open-stack for the great work the community have done. And we try to accomplish all the items that open-stack wasn't able to do. So we were able to provide hybrid cloud, private and public into one platform and have a completely wide-leveling offer for anybody that want to have it in a turnkey solution. So we can have a wide-leveling solution less than 24 hours for our enterprise customer or service providers. We have all the functionalities of open-stack and we basically use the APIs to build all the other technology that open-stack currently do know how. So all this is we build all the security, log, compliance and the beauty is you can have private and managed cloud into one platform. We're just going to do a little audio work here. Yours didn't have audio but Kevin's does. So I'll just kind of get in the head here on that one. Great. Thank you, Orlando. So we're going to sit down and we're going to do a little interview style here in a second. We're going to walk it through their solution a little bit more. And I'll also let you guys ask some questions as well. So Kevin, I've got you up here, is with Intralinks. Intralinks is, I don't know, I've heard of it as the enterprise version of Dropbox. I'm sure there's different ways to say that. But you guys have enterprise customers and an amazing way to store data and move it around. Tell us a little bit about yourself and Intralinks. Sure. Thanks. I'm a cloud architect at Intralinks. One thing it's interesting when you hear about, you know, the Dropbox for the enterprise, the truth is, is that, yes, we have brought to market a similar type of enterprise file sync and share and collaboration tool. But really, we've been in business since 1996. And around 2000 brought virtual data rooms to the market. So large financial organizations can collaborate both on the buy and sell side in a very, very, very secure, auditable environment online. And so that collaboration functionality goes back all the way to 2000. And so it's kind of, you know, we're 99% of the global Fortune 1000 companies use Intralinks from a platform perspective for those virtual data rooms. And so we're building on top of that success and that platform to go into the new space of online file sync and share and really collaboration. Great. Yeah. In fact, when you sent me your video over, I got it as a Intralinks package through a virtual room.  We'll take a quick look at the stuff here. Unitex new marketing manager. Sam's first project was to deliver a global marketing campaign. She was surprised to find some Unitex employees were using unsecure, unsanctioned file sharing tools to collaborate with partners, vendors and clients. Giving the company little control over its most valuable asset, its intellectual property. Sam worked with Intralinks via at her previous job. So she was confident it was just what Unitex needed to get the job done. Sam had an Intralinks via account set up. She created workspaces and invited the right stakeholders from both sides of the corporate firewall and presto. Before you could say protect my information, Sam's team was up and running with a safe, secure and flexible collaboration solution. Unitex marketing department loved the intuitive interface that made it easy to get work done. Their partners appreciated that they could work and share with complete confidence from anywhere online or off. And Unitex IT department was happy with unsurpassed security of Intralinks via. Soon, other Unitex teams adopted Intralinks via too. Legal, finance and R&D. Enabling secure, efficient collaboration across the enterprise. Awesome. So let's have a seat guys. We'll talk a little bit. I always enjoy finding out what solutions are being built on top of this OpenStack technology. And you guys both have very different approaches, but very innovative in what you've done. So Kevin, tell us a little bit about some of the challenges in building this type of a solution. You obviously have to go at scale. But what are some of the challenges we're looking at OpenStack as a basis for this solution? I think scalability was one of the main reasons and drivers to go with OpenStack. So we're building a new platform. That platform needs to scale and needs to scale globally. And so we have a hybrid cloud solution that both takes account in public cloud as well as building private cloud infrastructure. We're a SaaS company, so it's important for our data centers to scale and also for us to be able to populate new data centers. And so when I look at your solution, you guys have built a very, some would say purpose built cloud, specifically for this SaaS offering that you create. Yeah, it's very purpose built. Our existing platform, if you think about where we started, 1996, we have a very monolithic app. It's a big monolithic beast. And so when we look at building a new platform, we really wanted to make a, you know, a divergent path here. You know, it is the, you know, the day and age now where you have microservices, you had cloud workloads. And so in order to take advantage of that, we really wanted to make sure that we had, you know, cloud platforms that we could develop on top of, but then also move into production. Okay.  So what are some of the challenges that you found in terms of keeping that cloud up and running at scale? So, so basically, as everyone knows, we started 24 months OpenStack wasn't ready out there. So we needed to have a solution that take us to market quickly, have the features that many competitors have. And then we decided to have an R&D team of 40 to 50 people to build all the features on top of OpenStack. So we build a cloud in multiple data centers, Montreal, Sunnyvale Dallas and London, UK. We have in many data centers, we have more than 1,400 physical servers. So running these scale cloud, it wasn't an easy way to build it. It took us, you know, 24 months of R&D. But one of the good things that we did is we have our R&D team working with the features of OpenStack roadmap. So we kind of kind of overcome all the challenges that OpenStack were having at the time. So for example, we don't have any limitation in the number of CPU and compute nodes that most of the people that install OpenStack have because we were, we launched the cloud with Federation. So we can go, you know, if an OpenStack installation support 1,000 nodes, that's okay. We put Federation and we can just put five of them, right? So we are not limited by OpenStack itself, we can connect to each of them. And the same we did for storage and network and so on. So we can connect our data centers. And we base most of the innovation was for the private cloud which hybrid cloud offering that OpenStack didn't have back then. And some would say you've been out early. You made your decision a couple of years ago to go with OpenStack as your basis. Tell us what you think about the current momentum that you see here at the conference. I saw you at the last one as well. But as well as here, the momentum seems to be growing and growing. And how do you feel as a service provider who's creating these tools on top of OpenStack? So basically, for people that wasn't here before, OpenStack was like, you know, conference were like 50, 100, 300 people back then. Now it's like 6,000, 7,000. So knowing that we chose the right platform to work on, that's a big achievement for us. So OpenStack is growing. And one of the main goal of OpenStack is to make it easier. And make it easier for anybody to consume it and install it and configure it. But I just don't see it happening anytime soon. Because with all the projects to catch up with what is out there and all the innovation, it's not going to happen. So you either have to choose a provider that helped you build it or a provider that helped you manage it, or you need to have developers to do it there. So, but it is great to see how the project have advanced and it have more functionalities than most of the biggest public clouds out there, which should help for us to provide services to the service providers out there. Cool. And Kevin, you made the decision more recently to build your next gen version of your SaaS offering on top of OpenStack. When you look at the momentum here, when you look at the open source community, what's important to you?  Obviously, you knew it's open source. You knew it had a strong community. You knew the momentum behind it. Did that play a role in your decision? The decision really happened about two years ago.  Have we made the right choice? And I think we continually are validated that yes, we are. In fact, when we go to talk to some of our largest customers, you know, we're a SaaS application, we're a SaaS company, but a lot of our new platform is going to have the ability to be very specific about where customers' data might be, including on their, you know, in their enterprise, in their data center. And so, they're building out, you know, cloud infrastructure. They're providing infrastructure as a service. And so, it really lines up to what we're doing. And I think we continually are validated that we're on the right track. Okay, very good. And Orlando, you and I talked a while ago, and I remember you made a comment to me. You said that, you know, we at our Mucco, you said, we built this cloud. I've got some great developers. You have some great developers. You've done some wonderful things. But you said some people are made to build the cloud and some are made to just consume the cloud. So what did you mean when you said that? Yeah, so, so, so if you're in a, if you're trying to build a cloud right now, you're asking the question is what is the best way that I should do this? My advice to you is you need to see what kind of consumer or what kind of enterprise are you going to become. If you are enterprise that have a high R&D team and have plenty of time to build a customized cloud for you, then you should go build your own, customize it for your own needs. If you're looking for a fast track to have OpenStack with a lot of functionality, not necessarily customized for you, you can go for a private managed provider. If you want to have a compatibility OpenStack, you want to go with a service provider that is public that can offer you that. So, so you have to decide whether you want to start with a public cloud or a private managed cloud or a private cloud because your strategy will depend on that. If you want to go with a private cloud, you go with somebody to the HP, they help you with the OpenStack distribution with all the patch, liabilities and they help you with the hardware. If you want to get a fast track, you go with a private managed cloud that can burst into a public cloud and then you can either decide to build it later on. But the main advantage I say is get starting as soon as possible so you can start learning and you can have your engineers and your team working with the roadmap that is coming ahead so that you don't have to catch up, you're already ahead of everyone else. Yeah, I want to comment on that a little bit because I think it's a really good point, you know, what type of a consumer you are. For us, you know, we have enterprise level data centers, we're a SaaS company, you know, we thought we had data centers down. But the truth is, is OpenStack really is a new animal and it is a very different, you know, beast to bring in from an operations perspective. And so for us, the choice really wasn't, you know, yes, we have a hybrid approach, right, we have a public cloud, you know, component, we have a private cloud component, but we can't get away from the private cloud. The security for us and having that within our data center with having that, you know, potentially even within a customer data center requires that we have, you know, a cloud on-prem. And so, you know, I will say that it has been a journey for us and going from, you know, a SaaS company with large, you know, data centers and managing that to bringing in OpenStack and bringing that to being ready for production. Another area that your product or your architecture works in is you also build innovative applications on top of this that your customers are going to consume. How has the move to the cloud changed that? Do you build applications differently now? You can talk a little maybe about you have an application that needs to scale out when multiple people are editing a document, for instance. Yeah, absolutely. So, again, we talked about, you know, this big monolithic app that we had and still have and will continue to have. But the plan and where we're at right now is building out a new platform that that's built on top of cloud technologies. The first app to really port over and consume that platform is our VA application. But over time, our other applications will port over and they'll run on top of this cloud application or cloud, you know, we'll provide infrastructure service, but then also all the deployment and capability that we need in a microservice architecture that scales. So everything that we do is highly automated scales based on load and demand. And it's just a very, very different approach to what we've been doing in the past. And we have a lot of talk at this conference about the technology itself and the developers get together and do a lot of work here as well. But there's another aspect to moving this all forward for yourself and for others that can build clouds. What did you have to do internally, organizationally, to move to this? Did you have to change the developer's mindset on how they build apps? We still have to change. We're not there yet.   You know, there's just a very different mindset from a development standpoint. So we are making the transition to that DevOps mindset, building these teams that are, you know, very much have the same skill sets across the different organizations, but really have, you know, different focuses or different functions, but collaborate in a whole new way. Yeah. So one of the things that I wanted to say is there was the biggest transformation of IT of our time is happening right now. Companies are converting from buying from traditional hardware and buying the infrastructure to get a SaaS or a YASO frame. Services, people just buy services. They don't want to build it their own. Now, with so many apps coming to the market right now, the development have increased in any organization. Before they go to the IT department, they say you can have a VM and it take like, you know, two weeks because of all the paperwork you need to do, the firewall you need to open, you didn't have APIs, you need to build a database. So it was a very complex time to build an application. That's why there were not many out there. So the biggest transformation from a company is adopting the cloud, accelerate the process of being more agile, more flexible to go to market. Because now they can forget about the infrastructure piece. They can concentrate on the business, build the app and then take it to production. And that's one of the biggest advantage of going to a cloud. Great. But I also think it's important, you know, going to a cloud, those are the advantages. For us, the difficulty was signing up to actually become an infrastructure as a service provider ourselves internally. I think that was the big challenge. And I think one of the things, you know, is the vendor approach or the distribution approach, I think is a very valid way to take a look at that. But I do think it's important to go into that with your eyes pretty wide open, which is, yes, you want to consume this distribution. Enterprises like to consume it from, you know, large vendors. There's a certain safety net there. But I think it's also important to understand that operationally, you will need to change and evolve. And I think that's one thing that, you know, I think is a very important thing for me to share. Let's jump into the application itself. Talk a little bit about how you've structured things. I'll start with you, Kevin. Your application requires some very specific things. For one, it's companies documents you're storing. Therefore, security becomes a very large issue. And secondly, we've got laws and regulations in certain countries where data sovereignty becomes an issue. My understanding is you have some pretty complex environments around the way you set up subnets and lands and so forth. How does that work with your application? What was the challenges in doing that with OpenStack or looking at doing that with the next gen? Yeah, it's actually a benefit of OpenStack is you really are able to do a lot of, I don't know, belt and suspenders approaches when it comes to security, right? You can do a lot of things as far as isolations of tenants and environments and what have you. So I think, you know, OpenStack allowed us to do that as well as, you know, working with the public cloud, but a good thing to kind of segue on there as far as the data privacy. That's one of the main reasons from a competitive advantage standpoint. We went with OpenStack is it allows us to deploy our application in multiple areas and multiple geographies, which is very important when you look at an organization. So going back to the dropbox for the enterprise, right? It's very important for enterprises today to comply with data sovereignty laws, right? So that's a very, very evolving and changing fast paced, you know, landscape. And we are betting a lot on the ability to, you know, give that to to an enterprise. And that feature and functionality is going to be incredibly important. Awesome. Thanks, Orlando. You may have some make decisions on what parts of OpenStack you're going to use. I do know you guys use Ceph. I've seen a lot of people here interested in Ceph. Could you talk a little bit about why you chose to implement Ceph as along with the other storage mechanism? So basically, when you choose every component of OpenStack, you need to know which one is the best fit for your company or for the scale that you're going to have. So you can decide to go for Swift and Cinder and have two different solutions for your cloud. We just decided to go Ceph because it allows us to give us both into one. So easier to manage, easier to scale. You can have a group of experts on Ceph rather than have a group of experts on Swift and Cinder and the different applications. Or we want to go with OpenStandr. So we didn't go to a third party company that provides storage. We look at that. So the same with E4 for Neutron and other services, we analyze it and we see what is the best path forward compared with the roadmap that it's coming ahead. So when you look at the roadmap and you see what's coming ahead for OpenStack, Kevin, what are you seeing in terms of cool projects down the line that you might be taking advantage of? Or do you normally come to these conferences about getting core in the areas that you guys focus on? I mean, I think one of the things I've taken away from the conference is really, you know, all the talk around Docker, managing Docker, as we look at our application, we are, you know, a microservice application, but we're not completely Dockerized yet. So it's good to get that perspective. The management piece of it all, I think, is very important. And I think that's one area where the community needs to do probably a little bit more work as far as providing that level of manageability. And so, you know, whether it's Manaska that HP is kind of helping to spearhead or other management tools, I think from an operation standpoint, that's really where I'd like to see, you know, more happening and it looks like that's happening. It is. In fact, we're just setting up now to get you the new version of Helion Open Stack, which just, I believe came out yesterday. And we have incorporated Manaska in there and including an ops console that allows for visualization on top of a number of the alerts. So we've taken a really good first stab at the Manaska stuff and love to get your feedback on that when you get that started. So basically, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Like, you need to put your hands in open stack as soon as possible and work on the roadmap. We implemented containers and Docker around, you know, 12 months ago. And just because we knew it was going and now we application portability was really a strategic for us. So we wanted to plan ahead. And now, eventually, the community will have a release, right? You know, they have Magnum and they have all these different solutions that you can just use. But now, do you need it now? Or do you need it 24 months for now? You need it 12 months for now? Can you wait until become reliable or not? What you don't want to do is you don't want to modify anything on open stack to make it compatible because then it's easy to, it's very hard to upgrade, very hard to maintain. You want to keep it as it is and build everything on the API layer on top of open stack rather than modifying and sell the code. And one of the other things that work in this community is whatever you take, you have to get back to the community in order to be able to grow it. Now, we, this was, talk was around competitive advantage.  And in that business, you want to win. And you've chosen a specific technology which is a core of what you're offering is. So what is it that open stack does or why did you choose open stack that gives you that competitive advantage over others in the market that you're competing with? For you specifically on your solution? I think for us, again, we talked about data sovereignty and being able to deploy our application and where our customer data is be very, you know, specific about where that where that happens and also fire all off where where that, you know, can transition. I think the other thing is just velocity, just being able to speed up bringing that that feature functionality to market. How about you, Orlando? So so basically, as I say previously, we saw what was out there in the cloud. And you say, what is the best path forward to catch up and to build the functionalities we need to have? And we realize that open stack already have a lot of in incubation that we're not ready yet. But we say by the time we start building our platform on top of open stack, we're going to have a lot of functionalities that will take us years to build and to be able to mature them. We realize is we end up finalizing before open stack in the roadmap and we needed to kind of give to the community back a lot of the functionalities we have because it was open stack become evolving with the release cycle every six months. So they keep adding new functionalities but choosing open stack allows us to go to market faster, allows us to have not only 50 developers but to have like 5,000 developers collaborating together and building it. And most important, aligned with our business model in building what it is right for our enterprise customer rather than what the community thing is good for the community itself because the community can be can be good for everyone but building a while labeling offer platform that allow you to have workloads from public to private into one solution is something that is not in open stack yet. And the while labeling with building with ready to go easy to use it is not there. So we concentrate on that we let the community handle the parts that they have been working the last 36 months. I got one more thing I wanted to add because I forgot about it. One thing is that our customers we have some very, very, very large customers. They all have some sort of open stack project going on internally. They are all building some sort of infrastructure as a service platform as a service internally. And a lot of them don't have internal customers yet for them. And so for us. Yes, we're a SAS company but they also like to consume especially those large companies they like to consume them themselves internally inside their firewall help to manage it. And so strategically we're aligned there strategically we've kind of leapfrogged a little bit and now have something that when those customers have that completely ready to go our application what we've built goes on to their platform and scales again those large customers what they really want in the first thing that they talk about is how does your application scale because I've got you know a Gajillion people that are in this is because in most of your I don't know if it's all or but most of your installations it goes on prem with the customer is that correct on Prem is is a is a roadmap item. You know I think we've got to we've got to you know solve it first internally bring it to production in our data centers and and then we'll be able to you know put that globally around things get really interesting for us when our when our when our platform becomes and it's already global today but the new platform becomes global when a customer can say hey my data stays within you know the EU or it stays within the US and provide that level of business logic around there. But then ultimately yes the ability to have a customer consume our application on prem and at scale. So it's interesting you're kind of saying that your SAS offering because it's built on OpenStack and built as cloud native app and with a bunch of new technologies that scene as a very positive thing by people buying that solution because they're doing that themselves internally. Yeah absolutely you know and I think they're not there yet. I've talked to some very very large banking customers big banks and you know some of them have cloud you know ready to go but they have non mission critical customers internally not saying OpenStack what they actually some of its OpenStack some of its other but but cloud technologies but all of them have a have a have a play going. So that's the important thing of the competitive advantage of OpenStack is the APIs of OpenStack are widely used and compatible with a lot of SAS companies. So it's a SAS company is growing up. They're going to be building and compatible with not only public cloud provider but with OpenStack itself. So if you are built and based in OpenStack and your core is that then any application that is OpenStack compatible should work in your private cloud as long as you choose OpenStack which is which is great. So for example if Kevin is building his solution and he already have an OpenStack cloud internally then he said hey I'm compatible with your cloud as long as you didn't modify the code of OpenStack it should work and that's one of the main advantage of choosing a technology that you know is not fork and is like that. Yeah great. Now when I've done customer panels in the past I always like to you guys have been in the code for a while I'd like you to give words of wisdom stuff that you have learned or if you were going into a new company and they were saying hey we're thinking of doing OpenStack what's the first couple of things you tell them. Really take a look at your organization going back to what you said what kind of a consumer am I you know am I consuming a public cloud provider for a you know dev ops you know platform what is it really going to take to go to production and look at your organization your operations and then you know really be strategic in the way you partner. And just to follow up on that a bit a lot of times when you're going into build a cloud how much prep work do you do up front versus once you get into it what kinds of things do you need to do on the front end. We did a lot of we did a lot of prep work we have a very custom not custom built a purpose built I think is a better term right our cloud is very purpose built it has one consumer one application to run on top of it. It's you know we've got multiple tenants but they're each significant either they're each separate environments from dev test all the way up it's really a late enabled us to be very rapid in the way that we develop. But we really purpose built it so we look at you know object storage was a main component for us really understand what your workload is model that and then come up with a really good testing strategy so that your proof of concepts really do match what your use cases are. So so basically. The important what I say before is what do you want opening stock to do for your business and how do you want opening stock or any cloud to transfer your business and based on that what is your timeline and what opening stock has that you don't have and based on that you can decide a technology but also the business out of it. So I had discussion with a lot of service providers that when I still is in you know Asia Europe and we have many many partners that we empower with our solution and they they want to build it their self a lot of them. And we always say to them is like look if you want to use us you can start with this. You can see how the market your local market work with this and then you can decide to build it yourself. If it does the path you can have like a fast track. What I notice is they know how hard is to operate it manage it and maintain it and they say my business model is better fulfilled taking care of my needs of my enterprise maybe sales marketing rather than managing these but you know having 40 50 people in R&D working on this and managing it and hire early. I think that's been the joke of the conference right. We're hiring we're hiring we are hiring at interlinks. Orlando are you hiring everyone is hiring right. I think we are like 12 people to 15 people a month growing all the time you get the right people on board early that can help you with the with the process both partners and internal talent. And obviously with having you go both on stage here with us at HP you are both HP customers. You've chosen to work with the distribution from from HP and possibly others as well. But tell just a little bit about why why go with a commercial distribution like like HP's healing on product. So so basically you have a you invest like one billion dollar over 24 months and you have a lot of R&D so that kind of allows us to have a really good conversation of the road maps what you're working on and from from a technical perspective what have worked with different customers. What is the challenge of opening stack and the good thing about HP is you don't modify the the trunk you use exactly what everyone else out there but you have the guidance and they have great tool in the management to help us manage it and operate it easily. So from from a business perspective we can align because we target is the same type of customer and we can have a go to market beneficial for for the companies as well. Appreciate that. Anything to add Kevin or. Yeah I mean one thing I would say is you know we we partnered with HP for number of reasons there was some you know cross selling opportunities as well but but from an open stack perspective it really came down to we didn't necessarily know all the different things that we were going to need along the way from an operation standpoint we consume a certain amount of managed services today you know what distributions out there provide that level of managed services HP had a lot of the the components right the you know from a managed services organization to hardware to software to a public not not the public cloud but again the expertise is there and I think one of the things was it was in a way you know for us on this journey to make sure that we partner with someone that had the breadth and depth across the organization to help us accomplish what we want to accomplish the other thing is in terms of liability I mean like there's a lot of open source in open stock and in term of legal aspect having a unlimited liability for the code we use of HP that's a great asset for us right well I want to thank both of you for being customers as well as I really enjoyed both working with both of you and look forward to more of that thanks for your time today I remember and talking to Orlando ahead of time and Kevin as well they're both willing to talk to you about what they've done and how they've done it and Orlando's like come on up to Montreal and we'll show you what we're doing if you have questions just come on up and have a chat with these guys and thanks again for sharing thank you thank you

The link to our NarxFiverr merchandise store is in the video description. Narces and Future Faking. Future Faking is when the Narces promise you something they don't have, so they can get what they want from you in the present moment. They want the benefit of having something valuable or significant before they have the ability to give you what they are promising. Narces are good at Future Faking because they are fake people.  Future Faking is designed to boost the Narces self-worth and self-esteem. It makes them feel as though they are something valuable or significant to you. Narces are emotionally immature. All they want is the good feelings that come along with their future faking. They do not want the responsibility of keeping those promises. Future Faking gives the target something valuable or significant to look forward to in the future. It is something that Narces will use when they want to extract something from you, which will be beneficial for them in that moment. It could be goods or services, your attention, validation or admiration of them. Narces Xupply. They will provide you with reasons for doing what they want you to do for them. They will make false promises of something valuable or significant in the future as long as you comply and give them what they want in that moment. They will lead you to believe that you will be entitled to certain benefits or advantages because of what you are doing for them. This is designed to induce feelings of excitement or enthusiasm within you. Making you more likely to comply with their demands. Making you more motivated or driven to meet their standards. The Narces is leading you to believe that all of your love, loyalty or enthusiasm, all of your dedication or commitment to a specified task or purpose will eventually materialise in physical form but all along the Narces has no intention of ever following up any of their promises with action so they get all of your dedication and devotion, your goods and services which will be used to supplement them, to enhance their lives because you assume that this person is honest or genuine and they are going to follow up with their words with actions but all along the Narces has no intention of ever following up any of their promises with action. Narces use future faking because they know that you are not going to comply with their demands if you do not believe that there is going to be a return on your investment. The future faking is designed to induce feelings of excitement or enthusiasm within you to reduce more motivation so that you will put in more time and effort into meeting their demands. Your excitement comes from the anticipation of the benefits or advantages you are expected to receive in the future rather than anything the Narces is doing in the present moment. The Narces might not be meeting your standards or anything that you believe you are worthy or deserving of in the present moment but they will make you believe that if you wait a bit longer or do something else for them you will eventually see a positive change though I promise you certain benefits or advantages and claim that it will get better or you are going to be so much happier with them in the future naturally you will want to believe them you will want to see their promises actualising physical form you will want to see the fruits of your labour the result or finishing product of your dedication and devotion your hard work this is what the Narces is counting on they know what you are worthy or deserving of and they know what you expect to see from them and they will tell you that you can expect to see all of these benefits or advantages materialising the future while they have no intention of ever following up any of their promises with action future faking is designed to keep you focusing on the future rather than what is happening in the present moment you need to focus on what they are doing now what are they giving to you now rather than focusing on the future and ignoring everything that is happening in the present moment ignore all of their illusions detach your emotions and start to see them for what they really are rather than what you want them to be they might make all of these promises or imply that they have more to give but this is all part of the illusion most often they don't even have the capabilities or motivation to materialise anything significant or valuable they can talk about it or indicate the truth or existence of something by suggestion but when it comes to actually making it a reality they are out of there because not only do they not have the capabilities or the motivation they don't even have the belief that they are capable of manifesting anything for real they're just ideas in their heads and even their ideas are based off of your own likes and interests they don't even have their own unique ideas narcissists lack self-belief true intention capabilities and motivation without these qualities nothing will ever actualise for real it will always be just an idea in their heads but they will say it to you or imply that it's something that could become a reality just because it sounds good to them or because they know that it will make you put in the time and effort for them the only benefits advantages or anything of significance or value in this are what you're given to them they're not giving anything that might be beneficial to you they're not giving you anything significant or valuable they're just making you believe that if you stay patient and continue putting in the time and effort for them eventually you will see the result or finished product of your hard work you're going to have to wait for years to see if anything they said actually exists or could be a reality and by that time your life will have passed you by and you will have nothing to show for it except years of wasted time and effort wasted dedication and devotion wasted self-belief true intention capabilities and motivation because there is nothing in the future they just promised all of that to keep you around to secure you as a source of supply keeping your attention or interest on them having the desire and motivation to meet their demands giving your time and effort while they give you the bare minimum in return which leaves you in a deteriorating condition because you are not receiving anything in return to replenish your resources to replenish what you are giving out to them there is no future with the narcissist there is only the same old lies and problems that never get resolved you may start demanding from them after everything you have given out naturally you will expect a return on your investment you will want to see the fruits of your labor this is when the narcissist can become frustrated or resentful towards you because they don't have what you are looking for they never did they didn't even have the capabilities to actualize any of that or make it make it a reality the game was to make you believe that they did so that you would devote your time and attention to them they wanted the benefit of having something valuable or significant before they had the ability to give you what they were promising you do not need them you are willing to put in the time and effort to make it a reality you have the dedication and devotion you have true intentions self-belief the capabilities and motivation you have everything you need to make everything they lied about everything they tried to fake a reality thank you for watching i hope this video resonated with you please like comment share and subscribe if you would like to make a donation my paypal link is in the video description coaching inquiries you can email me at narksfiverrcoaching at gmail.com thank you for watching and i'll talk to you soon


Good evening My name is Sue Greenwald. I'm a former mayor of Davis and I served as a city council member in the city of Davis for 12 years I am here to speak in favor of measure P which if passed will repeal our new water rate structure This is a structure that is as unusual as it is unfair a fair rate structure is critically important Since we expect our water costs to more than tripling in coming years I welcome this opportunity to explain exactly why the new rate structure urgently needs to be revised To begin with it is important to explain that no other city in the state uses this rate structure It's completely untested. I have to emphasize this We have calculated that under this new rate structure an average single-family home will pay almost 40% more for each Gallon of water used than will other categories of users and this discrepancy will actually increase over time This cost shift is arbitrary and it is unrelated to income It will shift costs disproportionately to homeowners and tenants of existing single-family houses Because the rates are based primarily on usage during the previous year summer months For example, if you can serve water in the winter, but use some water in the summer You will pay more for water than a unit that wastes water in the winter But is vacant in the summer even if you use more water Don't use any more water for over the course of the year Our opponents make the incorrect claim that two-thirds of people will pay less under this system This false claim is based on the premise that big summer Irrigators like the city the school district and some key neighborhoods with the largest lots in town will pay massively more But our opponents know that these units are planning to opt out of irrigation by digging their own wells So the costs will shift right back to the remaining rate payers And the fact is that most people will actually be paying more with this rate The average homeowner costs are also underestimated because calculations assume that there would be future growth and Assume that the future subdivisions will use the same amount of water as existing homes But because of this new summer-based rate structure, these new subdivisions are also likely to opt out of irrigation by digging their own wells So by using a summer-based rate system the city is virtually forcing Large lot neighborhoods the city itself and new future subdivisions to dig expensive private wells This will leave existing residential users and existing businesses to subsidize the indoor use of water by those who opt out This is a lose-lose proposition. We expect no water rate relief from the touted water project cost reductions They're largely illusory Some were already factored into the original rate figures such as outside funding for the intake and some like the low-cost Interest state loans are not likely to materialize because the city council to chose to use a privatized operation method We believe that if you use twice as much water as the next guy You should certainly pay twice as much But the city is claiming that you should pay far far more than twice as much if you must allocate some of that water for summer use The city claims that it is fair to charge the average homeowner 40% more for each gallon of water used because the cost of the surface water project is dictated by quote peak summer use This argument's false first off the city claim that we needed the surface water project for reasons that have nothing to do with peak use Such as securing or with river water rights and improving the quality of our water In fact city consultants prove to us that we could have achieved all the necessary goals Including meeting peak capacity without the project and council acknowledged that further downsizing of the treatment plant would not Significantly decrease total projects costs. So there is simply no peak use justification for shifting costs to this massive project Disproportionately to any category of user if you use twice as much water You should pay twice as much and not far far more than twice as much Given the extraordinary water costs that we will be soon paying under any rate system There will be huge incentive for water conservation without this massive extra penalty and since everyone will adjust to the high water cost by conserving Conserving won't bring cost savings to you rates will just have to rise for the pay for the fixed costs Council has claimed that the strange and unprecedented rate structure was thoroughly discussed at the water advisory committee This is simply not true The water advisory committee members that I talked with thought they had voted to recommend a fairer rate based on 12 month usage And this is clear from the committee discussion that's on the tapes that you can read You can listen to because we chose to build an entirely new surface water project at the same time that we must build a new Wastewater treatment plant Davis citizens will have among the highest total costs for water sewer and garbage in the state within five years This makes it critical that the burden be distributed fairly. We need a fairer rate structure. Please vote yes on measure P Thank you
