Amb els 12 vots a favor d'ERC, SitgesGI, VerdsECP i el PSC, els 8 vots en contra de Junts, Fets x Sitges, Vox, PP i El Margallo i l'abstenció de Guanyem Sitges, el ple municipal va aprovar ahir en sessió extraordinaria el pressupost pel 2025, que puja a 66.230.000€, dels quals 47M corresponen a les despeses ordinaries de l'Ajuntament (al concepte clàssic d'aixecar la persiana, que inclou les remuneracions de personal -21M€- i tots els contractes de serveis) i 7,7M€ a inversions. El govern defensà un document que defineix com a ambiciós, treballat i consensuat, per a assolir 3 objectius fonamentals: les emergències habitacionals i climàtiques i els serveis públics per atendre la demanda de creixement de la vila. El PSC argumentà l'acord establert amb al govern amb la necessitat d'aturar la paràlisi provocada per la seva incapacitat de gestió, tot reiterant que no han donat un xec en blanc i que l'obligaran a treballar, mentre que l'oposició li retreu al govern que no tingui un projecte pel municipi, defineix el pressupost com una operació de maquillatge d'una mala gestió i li recorden al PSC el seu posicionament molt crític quan demanà amb contundència la dimissió de l'alcaldessa i la regidora de via pública. Per altra banda, la incorporació a la plantilla de dos càrrecs eventuals -un assessor a protocol i un assessor pel departament de comunicació- propiciaren un debat sobre el sentit final d'aquestes places, que el govern considera necessàries i l'oposició les vincula a la creació d'un discurs públic manipulador. L'entrada S’aprova el pressupost 2025. El govern el defensa com el més ambiciós de la història. El PSC en defensa l’acord per aturar la paràlisi del municipi, i la oposició el considera fictici per manca de projecte polític ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

This week, we breakdown all the P&L numbers from the Q1 earnings across OTT platforms and streaming vendors. We highlight that while Disney+ and Hulu had an operating income profit of $47M, the rest of Disney's business didn't fare well, with linear TV operating income slumping 22% and linear network revenue across Disney's portfolio fell 8% (excluding ESPN). We discuss why simply cutting costs isn't enough and that Wall Street wants to see growth, which is why Disney's stock was down 10% after earnings. We detail Vimeo's Q1 earnings but, more importantly, debate what the future holds for the company. While Vimeo expects an operating loss of only about $3 million for full year 2024, their projected revenue guidance means revenue would be down 8% to 4% year over year. We review all the infrastructure numbers from Fastly, Cloudflare and AWS, with Fastly breaking out revenue for the first time based on three services and lowering full year guidance, sending their stock down 27%. We also detail how AWS's growth rate puts it on a $100 billion annual revenue run rate. Also interesting to note was Amazon's CEO saying that AI will drive "tens of billions of dollars" of revenue in the next several years.Finally, we quickly recap news from Paramount, Roku, Altice, Crunchyroll, Fubo and Netskrt.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

Some experts are calling 2024 the “make or break year” for the voluntary and compliance carbon markets, which were rocked by a shaky 2023.

I spoke to Marion about her journey, from her childhood in the south of France, to founding her first company in Cambodia after starting her career in finance, to launching and leading a digital-first verification platform.SponsorsWatt It Takes is brought to you by Microsoft and Shell Ventures.The $1 Billion Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund is investing in innovative technologies that have the potential for meaningful, measurable climate impact by 2030.

One month after Nolan's departure, Mark continues to struggle with his father's betrayal while performing his duties as Invincible. Cecil appoints the revived Immortal to succeed Rudy as the Guardians' leader and adds a new hero called Bulletproof to their ranks. The Maulers escape prison with help from their version of Angstrom who tasks them with building a device capable of transferring the memories of various alternate universe variants of himself to him so he can use their collective knowledge to advance Earth's technology and save other planets. Cecil sends Mark to stop the Maulers as they begin the process, forcing Angstrom to use his multiversal powers to summon variants of the Maulers, who nearly kill Mark against his wishes. Angstrom stops the transfer prematurely, killing all of the variants present and horrifically scarring his body. Driven mad by his variants' memories of their versions of Invincible and Omni-Man, Angstrom vows revenge on Mark and escapes.

She confronts Cecil about Mark working under him but is shocked to see Donald alive. After completing a damaged apartment in Chicago, Eve argues with her father, believing he is incapable of accepting she can help. The stowaway Martian sees what Martian Man became on Earth and joins the Guardians as the Shapesmith. After encountering and defeating Darkwing's son, Mark meets with Cecil, who explains he must appease the Atlanteans for Aquarus' death. In a trial by combat, Mark battles a kaiju and is injured when it produces a sound that damages his ears. Against Cecil's orders to abandoned them, he saves the Atlanteans when the kaiju attacks them. Eve is horrified to learn the apartment she rebuilt has collapsed, built over unstable ground, though no one was killed. Confronted with aspects of her life that remind her of Nolan, Debbie breaks down and is embraced by Mark. Infamous Shirts for Naked Bodies...

James Harden's deal was even better than we thought! He turned down ~$47M to give the Sixers financial flexibility not only right now in the offseason, but during the first half of the season and going into the trade deadline for potential mid season moves to improve the teams' chances. TALK ABOUT A TEAM GUY! The 76ers roster is getting praised as one of the best in the league with the newest additions as well as an assumed healthier James Harden and emboldened Tyrese Maxey! The Phillies will return to action in short order, and Dave Dombrowski reportedly has pokers in the fire, namely Noah Syndergaard, on some potential additions to this team that is squarely in a NL WildCard spot, but could use some reinforcements in the shape of pitchers to go along with the returns of Bryce Harper and Jean Segura
The Phillies go for a second series win over the STL Cardinals today. They've already taken 2 of 3 behind some great pitching, and clutch hits form the likes of All-Star Kyle Schwarber, and Alec Bohm! Bryce Harper represents the Phillies as a second All-Star this year, meaning some deserving players got left in Philadelphia. Hopefully that lights an even bigger fire under this ball club to go win ball games. James Harden took a 15 MILLION dollar discount to give the 76ers more roster flexibility, as he's committed to winning, and winning in Philadelphia, by opting out of his $47M player option. How much better are the Sixers than when they last walked off the court? We'll see! The latest criticism of Jalen Hurts has surfaced in the form of a bashing of his performance in OTA's? Interesting timing.
If Kenny Moore gets more money out of sequence from the Colts, what issues would Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, and Matt Ryan have? If Quenton Nelson's extension is not signed by the start of camp, should he sit out practices until it is? So many questions asked and answered about the Colts - including whether this is a potential Super Bowl team! (at 10:23) With the Indiana Pacers deal Myles Turner and Buddy Hield for Russell Westbrook? Does trading for an overpriced ($47M) aging former all-star fit into this re-build? T.J. Warren and former Pacer Edmond Sumner sign with the Brooklyn Nets. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Detroit Tigers 3, San Francisco Giants 2 Los Angeles Angels 4, Chicago White Sox 1 Chicago Cubs 8, Cincinnati Reds 3 Tigers 3, Giants 2 – Haase’s two-run HR allows Tigers to hold off Giants 3-2 Eric Haase hit a two-run homer to break a 1-all tie in the sixth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2. It was Haase’s fifth home run of the season and his second in the last three games. Miguel Cabrera also drove in a run for the Tigers, who improved their league-worst road record to 11-23 and split the two-game series. Rony García won his third consecutive start for Detroit. Gregory Soto pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th save in 17 opportunities. Evan Longoria had a first-inning home run for the Giants. San Francisco starter Alex Wood fanned six in 5 2/3 innings but took the loss. Angels 4, White Sox 1 – Ohtani Ks 11, extends scoreless streak in 4-1 win over WSox Shohei Ohtani extended his scoreless streak to 21 2/3 innings while pitching five-hit ball into the sixth with 11 strikeouts in the Los Angeles Angels’ 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Luis Rengifo hit a two-run homer and Mike Trout had an early RBI double as the Angels finished their disappointing nine-game homestand on a positive note because of their two-way superstar’s work on the mound. Ohtani yielded five singles and a walk while winning his fourth consecutive start. The AL MVP hasn’t allowed a run since the fifth inning of his brilliant outing at Boston’s Fenway Park. Cubs 8, Reds 3 – Contreras homers, Morel also goes deep as Cubs beat Reds 8-3 Willson Contreras homered, Christopher Morel also went deep and nailed a runner at the plate with a terrific throw from center field, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds 8-3.

Miguel Cabrera also drove in a run for the Tigers, who improved their league-worst road record to 11-23 and split the two-game series. Rony García won his third consecutive start for Detroit.

That's not an especially long time. The Korean War lasted for three years, World War II for six. The Arab-Israeli wars, on the other hand, took only a matter a matter of days. A variety of factors contribute to a war's duration. The size of the battlefield is just one. The smaller the battlefield, the fewer soldiers can fit on it and, generally, the shorter the war. In Ukraine, the battlefield is substantial. On that criterion alone, the war there might last for years. As important are the forces arrayed against each other. All three axes of Russia's initial attack – against Odesa, Luhansk and Kyiv – broke because of logistical difficulties. The lines of attack were built largely around infantry with supporting artillery and airstrikes, but the primary strategic principle remained the same. They continued to try to seize cities rather than destroy the Ukrainian army. Thus, about a month after Moscow ruled out Kyiv as a primary target, it has yet to eliminate resistance in the east and south. Part of this has to do with the fact that cities are difficult battlefields. The advantage goes to the defender, who knows the city well and can formulate a strategy around that knowledge. However, the continued problem for Russia is that rather than concentrating its forces on one critical target in order to create optimal circumstances for a victory before moving to another target, it is still driven by its primary mission and vision, much of which is predicated on the assumption that the Ukrainian army is an insignificant force that can be defeated in the course of pursuing its primary strategy: seizing cities. Indeed, the idea of seizing cities as the operational task comes from the Russian goal of conquering all of Ukraine. In pursuit of that goal, there is a logic to defeating the Ukrainian army and occupying cities. But Moscow miscalculated the initial problem. Ukraine is big, and its forces fought from dispersed and tactically mobile positions, the exact kind of defense Russia is ill-suited to fight. The Ukrainians could decline combat where they chose and engage at the time of their choosing. Russia had tons of armor, but armor is not so useful against dispersed infantry or in cities. Russia also gave Ukraine warning of its intentions and staged forces in such a way that Kyiv could prepare its forces for the attack. Ukrainians appear to have dispersed so as to deny Russia a center of gravity to attack. The Ukrainians also accepted limited strategic control over their forces while giving tactical control to local forces. That meant that the Russians were deprived of a primary advantage: the ability to destroy any military concentration or interfere with communication in the field. The Ukrainians did not create vulnerable command centers or a jammable communications network. Infantry teams of various sizes were free to deploy and strike based on tactical opportunity. In other words, forces familiar with the situation were not under the continual control of a central command that was unfamiliar. The Russians could not occupy Ukraine in one blow as they expected. Moscow has since tried to impose a war of attrition. The problem is that this war of attrition costs the Russians as much as the Ukrainians, and in some ways more. The Ukrainians had a second advantage: the United States. The U.S. wanted the Russian invasion to fail. If Ukraine fell, then the Russian army would be face to face with NATO, from Poland to Romania. Russian intentions were always unclear, but assuming the worst case, Russia might follow a successful invasion with another drive westward to recover its pre-1991 position. Washington would then inevitably be drawn into direct conflict with Russia. And the U.S. above all did not want to deploy troops into combat. Circumstances dictated that Ukraine not be defeated and that U.S. troops not be drawn in. The early stages of the invasion showed that denying Russia its victory without U.S. forces was possible. What Ukraine needed was a massive infusion of advanced weapons. Wars change. What had been an effective infantry operation had to be reinforced with anti-tank, anti-air and advanced reconnaissance systems. Confronting the Russian army now is the same infantry that had fought them to a standstill, coupled with advanced weapons and munitions. These need to be managed from a central command, which changes Ukrainian operations but puts Russia at risk in any strategic offensive. Assassinations And Artillery | Peter Zeihan https://youtu.be/vrluuD-QlYI GEOPOP 81.7K subscribers The Ukraine War, Assassinations, and Artillery by Peter Zeihan on May 6, 2022 The Ukrainian military has enjoyed an outsized amount of success when it comes to successfully finding--and eliminating--a variety of high-value Russian targets. The Ukrainian military did not have a reputation of hitting above their weight before the Russians invaded this past February, nor do we think of them as the kinds of technical wunderkinds to quickly build up indigenous signals and targeting intelligence capabilities. Which means they're probably getting some help. A constellation of various American military and civilian officials have spoken openly about the United States' intelligence sharing relationship with the Ukrainians, either while testifying before the US Congress or directly with the media. They typically frame the intelligence sharing as necessary for helping to keep Ukrainian civilians safe, or giving the government in Kyiv a heads up about Russian intentions. There's little evidence to believe that this represents the full scope of intelligence sharing. Not the least of which is the growing list of Russian generals and military commanders who keep ending up dead. Or the absolutely stunning amount of Russian planes, tanks, armored personnel carriers, rocket launchers and ships (including the flagship of the Black Sea fleet) that the Ukrainians have successfully eliminated. We should give credit where credit is due. The Ukrainian military and volunteers are by all accounts a highly motivated bunch. It is not easy to metabolize new weapons systems, training and tactics--especially against a larger force.

Redfin Launches Rental Search 1. Consumers Can Now Search for Apartments and Homes for Rent on Redfin's Website and iOS App 2. Rental Search is Powered by RentPath, which Redfin Acquired in 2021 3. Advertisers with RentPath will now have access to Redfin's 47M monthly visitors SEATTLE & ATLANTA--Wednesday, 23 March 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN) — Redfin (www.redfin.com) today launched nationwide rental search, letting consumers search for both rental and for-sale home listings on Redfin for the first time. Built on the same map-based search technology used by tens of millions to find homes for sale, the addition of rentals makes Redfin a destination for everyone in the U.S. looking for a place to live. Redfin's rental search is powered by rental listings from RentPath, a leading marketing technology and services platform for the rental industry that operates Rent.com and other popular rental sites, which Redfin acquired in April 2021. This significantly expands the reach of the RentPath network, letting RentPath's property-management customers market their rental listings to Redfin.com's 47 million monthly visitors. “Adding rental listings to Redfin.com will increase our authority as a real estate destination, not only drawing more visitors to rental listings, but also to our existing for-sale listings,” said Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. “With about one in five Redfin.com visitors interested in rentals, we have an opportunity to generate as many rental inquiries from Redfin.com as from all other RentPath sites. As a result, we expect to attract more property managers to promote their listings on Redfin.com, and for Redfin.com traffic growth to accelerate.” Powerful, immersive search to discover the perfect place to rent Prospective renters can see updated listings every day, search with tailored filters, including budget, location and pet policy, and connect with property managers. Photos, floor plans and 3D tours let users experience a new rental home before ever setting foot inside. Renters can use the contact feature to connect with property managers to schedule a tour, ask a question or request an application. Because Redfin is a leading site to find homes for sale, people deciding between buying and renting can use Redfin for their entire home search. With one click, users can switch between homes for sale and homes for rent on the map. With another click, users can mark their favorite homes and see all of them in one place, whether they're for sale or for rent. “Most people who are considering renting a new home in the next six months say they are also considering buying,” said Christian Taubman, Redfin's Chief Growth Officer. "Redfin gives everyone the tools to win the place that's best for them, whether that's a place to lease or buy.” --- Redfin media release continues in the We Get Around Network Forum (www.WGANForum.com)

China Evergrande has averted a default for the second time this month, though questions remain over the company's ability to cover hundreds of millions of dollars in liabilities due in the coming weeks. The real estate giant has reportedly sent more than $47M it owed to bond holders. That interest payment was due late last month, but a 30-day grace period gave the company more time before creditors could officially declare a default. Evergrande is one of China's largest home and office builders, but has more than $300B in debt on its books. Einar Tangen, senior fellow at Beijing-based think tank Taihe Institute, helped shed some light on the government response to the crisis. #Chinaevergrande #Debt #RealEstate

Visit Bushel online: https://bushelpowered.com/ Today's episode takes a peak inside one of the hottest agtech companies to come along in recent years: Bushel. I've known about Bushel for a couple of years now, and originally just understood them to be a company that was digitizing scale tickets, which is actually how they started. Scale tickets, for those of you who don't know, are the paper receipt that accompanies a load of an agricultural commodity that usually includes how much was delivered to where, what the grade factors were, etc. It's really important because historically this is what is used to get paid properly, to keep effective records, and to have a paper trail for bankers, etc. Then this year they raised a $47M series B round and acquired long time farm management software company FarmLogs, and it became clear that I needed to get them on the show to explain all of these pieces and how they fit together. Joining me is Bushel co-founder and CEO Jake Joraanstad as well as Jesse Vollmar, who was the cofounder and CEO of FarmLogs and now is the VP of Farm Strategy at Bushel after the acquisition. We discuss why a company that is focused on supply chain would get into the farm management software business, what is digital infrastructure and how it makes money, why they don't see blockchain as the answer for this digital infrastructure, and how they might use the data they're collecting to provide unprecedented insights back to their customers. Bushel has some pretty impressive feathers in their cap: they've raised a total of around $75M now, much of it from corporate venture capital arms of large grain companies such as Cargill, Scoular, The Andersons, and Continental Grain (which I actually think is more of an investor and holding company than a grain company nowadays, but we'll count them anyway). Even more impressive is that Bushel boasts 60,000 active users on its platform, which is used at 2,000 grain buying locations throughout the US and Canada. They reach 40% of grain origination in the US and handle $22 billion of grain contracts each year.

Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE) is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 280 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California's #1 hash infused pre-roll "HashBone" ... and if that is all they had you would have the makings of a great small cap cannabis company. But there is more .... way more. Venom Extracts is their 100% owned subsidiary that is absolutely dominating the state of Arizona. More than just lip service: Venom just surpassed $30,000,000 (MILLION) in revenue YEAR TO DATE Venom Extracts is one of Arizona's premier extract brands One of the state's largest producers of medical cannabis distillate and related products The products are award winning ..... And it is run by the absolute coolest guy in small cap Cannabis - Jake Cohen THE NUMBERS SAY IT ALL 1. RECORD Q3 REVENUE $12.5M 2. CRAZY REVENUE GROWTH 5,200% 3. RECORD EBITDA $1.265M (vs a loss of $362,000) In case you're wondering if this was a fluke quarter, this is what Q2 looked like: RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170% NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year HOLLISTER HEADED TOWARDS $50,000,000 REVENUE? If you're paying attention, HOLL is achieving enormous growth both year over year and sequentially. If we extrapolate the latest Q3 numbers, Hollister is on a $50,000,000 annualized revenue run rate assuming no further growth. But there is more. The State of Arizona just approved recreational cannabis in Arizona. This is a potential windfall for Venom given the fact its brand, reputation and dispensary penetration from its award winning medical cannabis is about as good as it gets. How good is Hollister now? How good does it get? Watch this incredible interview with Venom Extracts CEO Jake Cohen, the coolest exec in small cap cannabis because he delivers incredible results with sweat, swagger and great swag to boot.

Hollister Biosciences (HOLL:CSE). is a multi-state operator with multiple, high-quality products that are now carried in 230 of California’s 600 dispensaries, where it also claims California's #1 hash infused pre-roll "HashBone" + another 80 Arizona dispensaries with some of the best concentrate in the State. But given the state of disappointment in the Cannabis industry over the last 15 months, none of that would mean anything without actual results shareholders and the industry could celebrate. In that regard, Hollister does not disappoint with Q2 numbers coming in as follows: RECORD REVENUE of $US 8.47M, compared to $200,000 last year and representing an increase of 4,170% NET INCOME of $300,000, compared to a loss of $2.1M, representing a turnaround of $2.4M over last year There isn't a small cap cannabis company that would not cheer for these results - if that was all they had. These numbers are a company maker. But Hollister is set to continue growing on several fronts, including a Direct To Consumer model and further big expansion in California.

In 1998, the Coen brothers took us down an unexpected exploration of what happens when a lazy man -quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin’ for laziest worldwide - has his rug peed on during a violent case of mistaken identity. Jeff Bridges stars as Jeffrey Lebowski, known now only as The Dude, a middle-aged stoner whose only job seems to be playing in a bowling league with his friends Walter, played by John Goodman, and Donnie, played by Steve Buscemi. The Dude goes on a crazy voyage in an attempt to receive compensation from the individual whose rug should have been the victim of the peeing, the Big Lebowski. After all, that rug really tied the room together. The Dude ends up rolling through a diverse and rich adventure with a cast of amazing characters including performances by Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and John Turturro. Set against a stunning soundtrack, this movie made $47M on a $15M budget and has since received a massive cult following, including its own religion, Dudeism. But, does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent drink Caucasians and figure out if they do the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers proud by solving the mystery of the peed on rug, or if they are out of their element and end up believing in nothing, cutting off their johnsons in the name of nihilism.

Interview with Nicholas Bridgen, CEO of Ferro-Alloy Resources Group (LON:FAR).The Ferro-Alloy Resources Group (FAR) is a vanadium development company. Their primary focus is the 'giant' Balasausqandiq vanadium deposit in Kyzylordinskaya oblast of Southern Kazakhstan. The deposit is claimed by Bridgen to be amenable to a much simpler, cheaper processing treatment than other deposits. In fact, Bridgen thinks FAR can be the lowest-cost producer in the world, and could still maintain a reasonable margin even in an environment of low spot prices.Even for the most optimistic shareholder, they will have been left disappointed by the share price performance of FAR. Starting the year at £0.56, the price has fallen to £0.15 today. FAR's market cap is £47M. Excess supply and low spot demand from the steel industry pulled down ferrovanadium alloy prices in Europe and the US to a two-year low in the first week of October 2019. This has clearly been a key factor behind this decline, but could the management team have done anything differently?Bridgen argues the macro story of vanadium will lead to price discovery, but he is keen to dispel the common assumption that vanadium redox flow batteries (VFRBs) will be economically viable in the near future. In fact, companies with inferior Vanadium projects that base their model of primary demand for VFRBs are "deluding themselves." We appreciate Bridgen's pragmatism.Bridgen claims to have an experienced team behind him, but the two key things here are scale and margins; this is what is supposed to make FAR stand out. +90% of the world's vanadium production and 70% of the world's supply comes from a material called magnetite. It is low-grade iron ore, so creates more cost because of additional shipping and processing expenses. Bridgen is very critical of the flowsheet followed by his vanadium juniors. They all have to go through a complex process of concentration, roasting to 1,100 degrees celsius, then a regrind before the material is ready to be leached. FAR's material is ready to be leached right from the off.As far as a mining jurisdiction, Kazakhstan has now become a 'well-run country,' that is 'above all the other stans in terms of its government.' While Kazakhstan isn't necessarily an ideal jurisdiction, Bridgen appears confident it is an area FAR can flourish in.There is a significant overhang at FAR, and investors will want more justification than the vanadium price. The company listed at around £0.70 after all. Bridge insists FAR is in control of progressing the project, and dilution; these are the key to driving the price back up. Investors will be sceptical and will want to see this reflected in the market before having any confidence.The next step will be a larger Feasibility Study. How will FAR finance this? Bridgen wouldn't tell us how much cash FAR has on hand, but did say they need to raise capital this year, sooner rather than later. FAR is debt-free and option free, so it seems debt may be an area Bridgen looks at. Will they go to market?The reality here is the quality of the asset and the vanadium macro story can only help FAR so much. Investors want to see active decision making. They want to see their money spent wisely. Bridgen and his team have an awful lot of work on their hands if they want to get FAR back on track, and back delivering for shareholders.Company page: http://www.ferro-alloy.com/ Make smarter investment decisions, subscribe here: https://www.cruxinvestor.com For FREE unbiased investment information, follow us on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook:https://twitter.com/cruxinvestor https://www.linkedin.com/company/crux-investor/ https://www.facebook.com/cruxinvestor Take advantage, hear it here first: https://www.youtube.com/CRUXinvestor
Zillow President Greg Schwartz to leave company at end of year Schwartz joined Zillow in 2007, and the company will realign responsibilities under current leaders Greg Schwartz, the president of media and marketplaces and a 12-year veteran of Zillow, is leaving the real estate tech giant at the end of the year, the Seattle-based company confirmed to Inman Monday.

Bungalow, an iRenter, nabs $47M to scale 'co-living' business Bungalow expects to lease units to 12,000 tenants by the end of 2020 Two new types of real estate tech startups have been sucking up more oxygen lately: “co-living” startups that facilitate living with roommates and “iRenters” — basically iBuyers for the rental market Bungalow, has announced bagging an additional $47 million in one of the larger funding rounds for a real estate startup as of late. That brings its total funding to $68 million so far, by Forbes' count. As an “iRenter,” Bungalow has been leasing single-family homes from their owners, repurposing them to accommodate more tenants and then subleasing the units room by room to a target demographic of 20-something professionals. In some ways, this resembles how iBuyers have tackled the housing market: rather than sell a home on behalf of a homeowner, they make offers on homes and buy them directly. Two years after its official launch, Bungalow reports leasing units to more than 3,200 tenants living in 730 homes across 10 markets, including New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle. It expects to “accommodate” more than 12,000 tenants by the end of 2020. First American Financial Corporation, a provider of title insurance, settlement services and risk solutions for real estate transactions, announced on Tuesday the launch of Endpoint, a new stand-alone company. Endpoint is a mobile-first title and escrow company that, according to First American, provides a re-imagined closing experience for buyers, sellers and real estate agents. First American has invested $30 million to develop and grow the company. “Our investment in Endpoint reflects our commitment to developing innovative, state-of-the-art technologies that improve the process of transacting real estate,” said Dennis Gilmore, chief executive officer at First American. The announcement outlined some of Endpoint's features, including: Documents are completed in the app, with clear guidance as to what information is needed and how much time each task is likely to take; Earnest money can be transferred digitally and all parties are notified once the money is received; E-signatures can be completed in the platform, while a mobile notary can be scheduled to facilitate a wet-signature at no additional cost.
Once in a rare moment, movies are released and then emulated for the next 20 years. 1990 was such a time as Martin Scorsese wrote and directed Goodfellas. Spanning 25 years, Goodfellas was based on a true story and followed the life of Henry Hill as he went from mafia obsessed high school student to right hand man of local crime boss Paulie Cicero to excommunicated snitch. Starring Ray Liotta, Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, Paul Sorvino, and Lorraine Bracco, the cast competently carries this movie, and the result was 6 academy award nominations, and one win for best supporting actor Pesci. Made for $25M, Goodfellas received strong a critical reception and nearly doubled its budget, making $47M at the box office. A huge inspiration for the Sopranos, Goodfellas and this HBO hit series share 27 actors. But nearly 30 years after release, does Goodfellas hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent travel back in time and visit with the Cicero crime syndicate for 25 years and see if the life and times of this gangster group are worth the lives and money it takes, or if the cocaine, guns, and paranoia turn them into snitches that tell anyone who’ll listen about the faults of this film.

The NetBSD 8.0 release process is underway, we try to measure the weight of an electron, and look at stack clashing. This episode was brought to you by Headlines NetBSD 8.0 release process underway (https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-announce/2017/06/06/msg000267.html) Soren Jacobsen writes on NetBSD-announce: If you've been reading source-changes@, you likely noticed the recent creation of the netbsd-8 branch. If you haven't been reading source-changes@, here's some news: the netbsd-8 branch has been created, signaling the beginning of the release process for NetBSD 8.0. We don't have a strict timeline for the 8.0 release, but things are looking pretty good at the moment, and we expect this release to happen in a shorter amount of time than the last couple major releases did. At this point, we would love for folks to test out netbsd-8 and let us know how it goes. A couple of major improvements since 7.0 are the addition of USB 3 support and an overhaul of the audio subsystem, including an in-kernel mixer. Feedback about these areas is particularly desired.

This is a long rant. A rant intended to document lunacy, hopefully aid others in the future and make myself feel better about something I think is crazy. It may seem like I am making an enemy of electron, but keep in mind that isn't my intention! The enemy here, is complexity! My friend Henry, a canary, is coming along for the ride! Getting the tools At first glance Electron seems like a pretty solid app, it has decent docs, it's consolidated in a single repository, has a lot of visibility, porting it shouldn't be a big deal, right? After cloning the repo, trouble starts: Reading through the doc, right off the bat there are a few interesting things: At least 25GB disk space. Huh, OK, some how this ~47M repository is going to blow up to 25G? Continuing along with the build, I know I have two versions of clang installed on OpenBSD, one from ports and one in base. Hopefully I will be able to tell the build to use one of these versions. Next, it's time to tell the bootstrap that OpenBSD exists as a platform. After that is fixed, the build-script runs. Even though cloning another git repo fails, the build happily continues. Wait. Another repository failed to clone? At least this time the build failed after trying to clone boto.. again. I am guessing it tried twice because something might have changed between now and the last clone? Off in the distance we catch a familiar tune, it almost sounds like Gnarls Barkley's song Crazy, can't tell for sure. As it turns out, if you are using git-fsck, you are unable to clone boto and requests. Obviously the proper fix for his is to not care about the validity of the git objects! So we die a little inside and comment out fsckobjects in our ~/.gitconfig. Next up, chromium-58 is downloaded… Out of curiosity we look at vendor/libchromiumcontent/script/update, it seems its purpose is to download / extract chromium clang and node, good thing we already specified --clang_dir or it might try to build clang again! 544 dots and 45 minutes later, we have an error! The chromium-58.0.3029.110.tar.xz file is mysteriously not there anymore.. Interesting. Wut. “Updating Clang…”. Didn't I explicitly say not to build clang? At this point we have to shift projects, no longer are we working on Electron.. It's libchromiumcontent that needs our attention. Fixing sub-tools Ahh, our old friends the dots! This is the second time waiting 45+ minutes for a 500+ MB file to download. We are fairly confident it will fail, delete the file out from under itself and hinder the process even further, so we add an explicit exit to the update script. This way we can copy the file somewhere safe! Another 45 minute chrome build and saving the downloaded executable to a save space seems in order. Fixing another 50 occurrences of error conditions let's the build continue - to another clang build. We remove the call to update_clang, because.. well.. we have two copies of it already and the Electron doc said everything would be fine if we had >= clang 3.4! More re-builds and updates of clang and chromium are being commented out, just to get somewhere close to the actual electron build. Fixing sub-sub-tools Ninja needs to be build and the script for that needs to be told to ignore this “unsupported OS” to continue. No luck. At this point we are faced with a complex web of python scripts that execute gn on GN files to produce ninja files… which then build the various components and somewhere in that cluster, something doesn't know about OpenBSD… I look at Henry, he is looking a photo of his wife and kids. They are sitting on a telephone wire, the morning sun illuminating their beautiful faces. Henry looks back at me and says “It's not worth it.” We slam the laptop shut and go outside. Interview - Dan McDonald - allcoms@gmail.com (mailto:allcoms@gmail.com) (danboid) News Roundup g4u 2.6 (ghosting for unix) released 18th birthday (https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2017/06/08/msg019625.html) Hubert Feyrer writes in his mail to netbsd-users: After a five-year period for beta-testing and updating, I have finally released g4u 2.6. With its origins in 1999, I'd like to say: Happy 18th Birthday, g4u! About g4u: g4u ("ghosting for unix") is a NetBSD-based bootfloppy/CD-ROM that allows easy cloning of PC harddisks to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs using FTP. The floppy/CD offers two functions. The first is to upload the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP server, the other is to restore that image via FTP, uncompress it and write it back to disk. Network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the harddisk is processed as an image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well as partitions is also supported. The past: When I started g4u, I had the task to install a number of lab machines with a dual-boot of Windows NT and NetBSD. The hype was about Microsoft's "Zero Administration Kit" (ZAK) then, but that did barely work for the Windows part - file transfers were slow, depended on the clients' hardware a lot (requiring fiddling with MS DOS network driver disks), and on the ZAK server the files for installing happened do disappear for no good reason every now and then. Not working well, and leaving out NetBSD (and everything else), I created g4u. This gave me the (relative) pain of getting things working once, but with the option to easily add network drivers as they appeared in NetBSD (and oh they did!), plus allowed me to install any operating system. The present: We've used g4u successfully in our labs then, booting from CDROM. I also got many donations from public and private institutions plus companies from many sectors, indicating that g4u does make a difference. In the meantime, the world has changed, and CDROMs aren't used that much any more. Network boot and USB sticks are today's devices of choice, cloning of a full disk without knowing its structure has both advantages but also disadvantages, and g4u's user interface is still command-line based with not much space for automation. For storage, FTP servers are nice and fast, but alternatives like SSH/SFTP, NFS, iSCSI and SMB for remote storage plus local storage (back to fun with filesystems, anyone? avoiding this was why g4u was created in the first place!) should be considered these days. Further aspects include integrity (checksums), confidentiality (encryption). This leaves a number of open points to address either by future releases, or by other products. The future: At this point, my time budget for g4u is very limited. I welcome people to contribute to g4u - g4u is Open Source for a reason. Feel free to get back to me for any changes that you want to contribute! The changes: Major changes in g4u 2.6 include: Make this build with NetBSD-current sources as of 2017-04-17 (shortly before netbsd-8 release branch), binaries were cross-compiled from Mac OS X 10.10 Many new drivers, bugfixes and improvements from NetBSD-current (see beta1 and beta2 announcements) Go back to keeping the disk image inside the kernel as ramdisk, do not load it as separate module. Less error prone, and allows to boot the g4u (NetBSD) kernel from a single file e.g. via PXE (Testing and documentation updates welcome!) Actually DO provide the g4u (NetBSD) kernel with the embedded g4u disk image from now on, as separate file, g4u-kernel.gz In addition to MD5, add SHA512 checksums Congratulation, g4u. Check out the g4u website (http://fehu.org/~feyrer/g4u/) and support the project if you are using it. *** Fixing FreeBSD Networking on Digital Ocean (https://wycd.net/posts/2017-05-19-fixing-freebsd-networking-on-digital-ocean.html) Most cloud/VPS providers use some form of semi-automated address assignment, rather than just regular static address configuration, so that newly created virtual machines can configure themselves. Sometimes, especially during the upgrade process, this can break. This is the story of one such user: I decided it was time to update my FreeBSD Digital Ocean droplet from the end-of-life version 10.1 (shame on me) to the modern version 10.3 (good until April 2018), and maybe even version 11 (good until 2021). There were no sensitive files on the VM, so I had put it off. Additionally, cloud providers tend to have shoddy support for BSDs, so breakages after messing with the kernel or init system are rampant, and I had been skirting that risk. The last straw for me was a broken pkg: /usr/local/lib/libpkg.so.3: Undefined symbol "openat" So the user fires up freebsd-update and upgrades to FreeBSD 10.3 I rebooted, and of course, it happened: no ssh access after 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes…I logged into my Digital Ocean account and saw green status lights for the instance, but something was definitely wrong. Fortunately, Digital Ocean provides console access (albeit slow, buggy, and crashes my browser every time I run ping). ifconfig revealed that the interfaces vtnet0 (public) and vtnet1 (private) haven't been configured with IP addresses. Combing through files in /etc/rc.*, I found a file called /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/${DROPLETID}.conf containing static network settings for this droplet (${DROPLETID} was something like 1234567). It seemed that FreeBSD wasn't picking up the Digital Ocean network settings config file. The quick and dirty way would have been to messily append the contents of this file to /etc/rc.conf, but I wanted a nicer way. Reading the script in /etc/rc.d/digitalocean told me that /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/${DROPLET_ID}.conf was supposed to have a symlink at /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/droplet.conf. It was broken and pointed to /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/.conf, which could happen when the curl command in /etc/rc.d/digitalocean fails Maybe the curl binary was also in need for an upgrade so failed to fetch the droplet ID Using grep to fish for files containing droplet.conf, I discovered that it was hacked into the init system via loadrcconfig() in /etc/rc.subr I would prefer if Digital Ocean had not customized the version of FreeBSD they ship quite so much I could fix that symlink and restart the services: set DROPLET_ID=$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/id) ln -s -f /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/${DROPLET_ID}.conf /etc/rc.digitalocean.d/droplet.conf /etc/rc.d/netif restart /etc/rc.d/routing restart Networking was working again, and I could then ssh into my server and run the following to finish the upgrade: freebsd-update install At this point, I decided that I didn't want to deal with this mess again until at least 2021, so I decided to go for 11.0-RELEASE freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE update freebsd-update install reboot freebsd-update install pkg-static install -f pkg pkg update pkg upgrade uname -a FreeBSD hostname 11.0-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p9 pkg -v 1.10.1 The problem was solved correctly, and my /etc/rc.conf remains free of generated cruft. The Digital Ocean team can make our lives easier by having their init scripts do more thorough system checking, e.g., catching broken symlinks and bad network addresses. I'm hopeful that collaboration of the FreeBSD team and cloud providers will one day result in automatic fixing of these situations, or at least a correct status indicator. The Digital Ocean team didn't really know many FreeBSD people when they made the first 10.1 images, they have improved a lot, but they of course could always use more feedback from BSD users ** Stack Clash (https://www.qualys.com/2017/06/19/stack-clash/stack-clash.txt) A 12-year-old question: "If the heap grows up, and the stack grows down, what happens when they clash? Is it exploitable? How? In 2005, Gael Delalleau presented "Large memory management vulnerabilities" and the first stack-clash exploit in user-space (against mod_php 4.3.0 on Apache 2.0.53) (http://cansecwest.com/core05/memory_vulns_delalleau.pdf) In 2010, Rafal Wojtczuk published "Exploiting large memory management vulnerabilities in Xorg server running on Linux", the second stack-clash exploit in user-space (CVE-2010-2240) (http://www.invisiblethingslab.com/resources/misc-2010/xorg-large-memory-attacks.pdf) Since 2010, security researchers have exploited several stack-clashes in the kernel-space, In user-space, however, this problem has been greatly underestimated; the only public exploits are Gael Delalleau's and Rafal Wojtczuk's, and they were written before Linux introduced a protection against stack-clashes (a "guard-page" mapped below the stack) (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2010-2240) In this advisory, we show that stack-clashes are widespread in user-space, and exploitable despite the stack guard-page; we discovered multiple vulnerabilities in guard-page implementations, and devised general methods for: "Clashing" the stack with another memory region: we allocate memory until the stack reaches another memory region, or until another memory region reaches the stack; "Jumping" over the stack guard-page: we move the stack-pointer from the stack and into the other memory region, without accessing the stack guard-page; "Smashing" the stack, or the other memory region: we overwrite the stack with the other memory region, or the other memory region with the stack. So this advisory itself, is not a security vulnerability. It is novel research showing ways to work around the mitigations against generic vulnerability types that are implemented on various operating systems. While this issue with the mitigation feature has been fixed, even without the fix, successful exploitation requires another application with its own vulnerability in order to be exploited. Those vulnerabilities outside of the OS need to be fixed on their own. FreeBSD-Security post (https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2017-June/009335.html) The issue under discussion is a limitation in a vulnerability mitigation technique. Changes to improve the way FreeBSD manages stack growth, and mitigate the issue demonstrated by Qualys' proof-of-concept code, are in progress by FreeBSD developers knowledgeable in the VM subsystem.

(http://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill-your-data/) TL;DR: ECC is good, but even without, having ZFS is better than not having ZFS. What's ECC RAM? Is it a good idea? What's ZFS? Is it a good idea? Is ZFS and non-ECC worse than not-ZFS and non-ECC? What about the Scrub of Death? The article walks through ZFS folk lore, and talks about what can really go wrong, and what is just the over-active imagination of people on the FreeNAS forums But would using any other filesystem that isn't ZFS have protected that data? ‘Cause remember, nobody's arguing that you can lose data to evil RAM – the argument is about whether evil RAM is more dangerous with ZFS than it would be without it. I really, really want to use the Scrub Of Death in a movie or TV show. How can I make it happen? I don't care about your logic! I wish to appeal to authority! OK. “Authority” in this case doesn't get much better than Matthew Ahrens, one of the cofounders of ZFS at Sun Microsystems and current ZFS developer at Delphix.

As a Financial Advisor and Real Estate Entrepreneur my husband and I have built a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio. We started in September 2007 and currently own 437 doors valued around $47M – primarily in Joint Ventures with others and purchased with Other People’s Money. In 2010 we were inducted into The Tigrent Learning Hall of Fame (Robert Kiyosaki) for our start up success at utilizing the strategies we learned. Our portfolio is almost entirely invested in Saskatchewan. We recently partnered with a couple of our students and purchased 33 doors in Winnipeg, MB. Our major operations are long term buy and hold rentals. We have had the same property management team in place throughout the time ran by my oldest daughter. We are in the process of building a couple new up down duplexes for another Real Estate Investor through our company Tamco Homes. One of the major things we love about long term buy and hold is the mortgage pay down as whether markets are up or down this is a constant and we now have over $25,000 per month in mortgage pay down. Although we have a nice size portfolio, we also have a few other business’s and income streams. We are 50% owners of Tamco Homes – a small volume custom home and commercial builder, renovator and remediation specialist – in business since 2009. And a feedlot cleaning business, Keep Corral Cleaning owned and operated since 2001. In May of 2014 after being approached by several people asking how we had built such a massive portfolio in such a short period of time we started our Real Estate Training/Coaching Business that primarily helps people learn about using OPM to buy Real Estate. I absolutely love sharing what we’ve learned through the years and helping others build passive income through investing in Real Estate. We are always looking to expand our portfolio and businesses and believe that quality opportunities and win win relationships will always attract the Investors and Partners required to expand.
