In this episode, Antonio introduces the work of Latvian photographer Inta Ruka, whose quiet, direct portraits have completely pulled him in. Her photographs may appear simple at first, but the longer Antonio and Ward sit with them, the more stories and visual relationships begin to emerge. What matters most is the connection behind the pictures: Ruka uses the camera as a passport into people's lives, spending time with them and allowing each photograph to grow out of trust. Her Rolleiflex stays out of the way, leaving her free to maintain eye contact and treat the person as more important than the equipment. Ward then reviews The Art of Street Photography by Sean Tucker and Joshua K. Jackson, a book concerned less with camera settings than with learning how to think and see as a photographer. Tucker explores creative dry spells, fear, ethics, motivation, and the experience of being fully present with a camera, while Jackson's rich, layered photographs demonstrate just how open street photography can be. Together, the words and pictures offer something Antonio and Ward keep returning to: permission. Permission to stop being rigid, photograph whatever genuinely catches the eye, and recognize that becoming tired of old habits may simply mean it is time to grow.   The Art of Street Photography by Sean Tucker & Joshua K.

On episode 166 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter to discuss the second film in their Jane Campion series, An Angel at My Table (1990). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. With her second feature, director Jane Campion made herself a staple of New Zealand cinema as she explored the world of author Janet Frame, and three of her most vital texts. In diving deeper into her works, Campion looked inward at the life of Frame, her troubled adolescence, her complex diagnoses inside mental institutions, and her awakening as a young woman. By touch on these important moments in her life, Campion gives Frame as empathetic of a examination into the life of an artist that you will ever find on screen. Ryan and Jay break down their thoughts on the film, which section of the film works best for them, the themes of Frame's work and how it relates to Campion, Campion's confidence in the material shining brighter here than her debut, the reverence to Frame's work the country and how it is sprinkled and hinted at within the narrative of her life. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page.  This podcast runs 1h39m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Jane Campion with a review of her next film, The Piano. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.  Music: MUSICALIFE, from Pond5 (intro) and "B-3" from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).  

Movie of the Year: 2006The Prestige (feat. Kenny McMillan from the Frame and Reference pod!)The Prestige Podcast: Nolan's Obsession with Magic, Ambition, and DeceptionThe Prestige podcast brings one of Christopher Nolan's most intricate achievements to the center of discussion. Released in 2006, The Prestige stands as a masterclass in misdirection—both thematically and narratively. On this episode of the The Prestige podcast, Ryan, Mike, and Greg explore how the film's structure itself becomes a magic trick, with Kenny McMillan from Frame and Reference offering cinematographic insight into Nolan's visual storytelling. This episode of The Prestige podcast examines why The Prestige has aged into a richer, more rewarding experience than initial audiences may have recognized.About The PrestigeThe Prestige follows two rival magicians, Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman), whose competitive obsession spirals into tragedy and revenge. Set in Victorian London, the film weaves illusion, science, and sacrifice into a narrative that demands multiple viewings. Directed by Christopher Nolan from a screenplay by Jonathan Nolan and David S. Goyer, the film is based on Christopher Priest's 1995 novel. The cast includes Scarlett Johansson as the central illusion Olivia, Michael Caine as the mentor Cutter, and David Bowie in a pivotal role as inventor Nikola Tesla. The film explores the cost of ambition and the blurred line between performance and reality.Nolan and Structure: How The Prestige Podcast Uncovers the Architecture of MisdirectionChristopher Nolan's approach to The Prestige mirrors the film's central conceit: the three-act structure of a magic trick. The exposition sets up the trick, the turning point misdirects the audience, and the prestige reveals the truth. Nolan employs this framework to build narrative tension that rewards attentive viewers. Moreover, the film's editing and pacing function as visual sleight of hand, concealing crucial details in plain sight. The director's command of chronology and revelation transforms structural mechanics into thematic content. Additionally, the cinematography by Hoyte van Hoytema reinforces this architecture through framing choices that obscure as much as they reveal. Consequently, viewers who dismiss the film on first viewing often discover entirely new dimensions upon rewatching—a quality that separates The Prestige from conventional period dramas.Magic and Ambition: The Prestige Podcast Explores the Psychology of ObsessionAt its core, The Prestige interrogates the price of ambition through the lens of performance and sacrifice. The Prestige podcast digs into how both Borden and Angier pursue mastery of the transported man illusion, but their methods diverge fundamentally. Borden's sacrifice is existential; Angier's is technological. The film suggests that true magic—or true achievement of any kind—requires a willingness to lose something irreplaceable. Furthermore, the duality that defines both characters extends beyond performance into identity itself. The film examines what performers owe to their craft and what craft demands of performers. In particular, the female perspective through Olivia complicates the male rivalry at the narrative's center. Meanwhile, the film positions Nikola Tesla as the ultimate embodiment of ambition unmoored from morality, a cautionary figure whose genius destabilizes the rules governing the Victorian world.Twins: Doubling, Duality, and DeceptionThe Prestige operates through systematic doubling. Twin magicians, a transported man illusion that exploits identical performers, and the fundamental duality of Christian Bale's Alfred Borden structure the film's central mystery. The screenplay leverages the audience's familiarity with magic mechanics—particularly the "double" as a common trick device—to guide viewers toward false conclusions. Meanwhile, the film treats twinning not merely as plot mechanism but as philosophical premise. Both main characters pursue versions of themselves that are more successful, more admired, or more powerful than their authentic selves. Additionally, the Tesla machine introduces a horrifying literalization of doubling: what happens when your double is not your collaborator but your replacement? The film's treatment of identity as something that can be split, cloned, or discarded raises questions about the self that persist long after the final reveal.Mount Rushmore: Scandals of '96The Taste Buds rank the most shameful, embarrassing, or otherwise scandalous cinematic moments of 1996. Though The Prestige arrived a decade later, the conversation extends naturally to the ethical compromises and moral failings embedded in the film itself. Both Borden and Angier engage in forms of deception that approach criminality. The death of a stage assistant, the exploitation of Olivia, and the casual cruelty with which both men pursue victory constitute a catalog of wrongs that the film neither excuses nor entirely condemns. This section invites listeners to debate the film's moral landscape and the extent to which audience sympathy with these characters implicates us in their misconduct.Shopping Spree: The Best of 2006 CinemaThe Shopping Spree segment celebrates the feast of cinema that 2006 offered. The Prestige competes in a year alongside Little Miss Sunshine, The Devil Wears Prada, Brick, and Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story. The conversation weighs Nolan's technical and narrative ambition against the year's other standouts, examining what makes 2006 a genuinely competitive year for the tournament. Furthermore, the panelists consider which films have endured most meaningfully and which have faded in critical esteem over two decades. Notably, The Prestige has sustained and even deepened its reputation as audiences have grown more sophisticated about Nolan's structural innovations.Why The Prestige Podcast Resonates: What Makes This Film EndureTwenty years after its release, The Prestige remains relevant because it articulates anxieties about technology, identity, and performance that have only intensified. The film's treatment of the Tesla machine as a science-fiction intrusion into a historical setting prefigures contemporary concerns about artificial consciousness and the ethics of duplication. Beyond its formal brilliance, the film speaks to the human capacity for self-deception and the stories we tell ourselves to justify our ambitions. Additionally, Nolan's commitment to practical effects and in-camera illusions—a philosophy that runs through his career—makes The Prestige feel increasingly precious in an age of digital manipulation. The film argues, implicitly, that authentic magic resides not in technological wizardry but in the human desire to believe. Ultimately, The Prestige endures because it demands intellectual engagement while delivering emotional and sensory satisfaction—a balance that few contemporary films achieve. This is precisely why the Prestige podcast episode deepens with each listen, revealing new dimensions in both the film and its broader cultural significance.Related Episodes from Movie of the Year: 20062006 Intro Part 1: Bracket RevealTristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull StoryBrick2006 Mixtape Part IThe Puffy ChairThe Devil Wears PradaLittle Miss SunshineAll Movie of the Year EpisodesGuest Panelist: Kenny McMillanKenny McMillan is the host and producer of Frame and Reference, a cinematography podcast featuring long-form, unstructured conversations with working cinematographers about their craft, influences, and current projects.

In this short podcast episode, Bryan covers the points to consider when selecting a replacement motor, particularly blower motors and condensing fan motors in residential and light commercial applications.  Horsepower and amperage both matter for matching, but they are not the only items to consider. We also have to consider phase (three-phase vs. single-phase), voltage, and RPM; those must match exactly (barring VFDs and ECMs with variable RPMs). Frame size, shaft size, mounting, rotation, capacitor (for PSC motors), bearing type, temperature rating, enclosure (or Air Over Motor rating), and operation all matter. The failed motor is also NOT the only source of information; if it is an aftermarket motor, it might not have the correct information, so you are better off using an OEM motor or checking the manufacturer's data. Single-phase motors are common for residential condensing fan motors and will need a run capacitor. Three-phase motors tend to be more common in commercial settings, and these will not have a run capacitor. Voltages must be appropriate for the application, and if the RPM is fixed, it must match the same general range because it represents the motor speed and is based on the number of poles. However, RPM may be variable in several applications. Horsepower is the mechanical output rating (ability to do work); we CANNOT use a replacement motor with less horsepower than the OEM motor (and be careful with fractions; 1/3 is greater than 1/4). Amperage is NOT horsepower; amps are electrical input current. We want the amp rating to be close to the original motor, but it won't always match, particularly in the case of ECMs. If it doesn't match, we want to know why that is; if it's an ECM, then it's likely not a problem because ECMs can do the same work as a PSC with fewer watts. Power factor indicates motor efficiency for PSC motors, but the rules aren't quite the same for ECMs, which will have a much lower power factor (or lower wattages with higher amperages). However, if the amperage is off because we have the wrong motor, then that is a problem.   The physical aspects matter for fitting the motor properly and delivering the right airflow. Rotation should match (though most universal motors can run in either direction). Airflow is especially important for blower motors, so factory replacements or ECM replacements are the way to go in those cases (it's also good to confirm airflow with a TrueFlow grid and by checking static pressure). The speed taps also need to be correct. Noise is also a factor; ball bearing motors tend to be louder than sleeve bearing motors. Temperature ratings also matter because heat can significantly reduce the lifespan of motors, and we need motors that can handle the operating conditions.    Here is the podcast episode about ECM blower amps and watts with Steve Rogers: https://www.hvacrschool.com/podcasts/what-is-up-with-blower-amps-watts-w-steve-rogers/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Barry Strauss examines Mark Antony's critical "unforced error" of 33 BC: divorcing Octavia, Octavian's sister. This move provides Octavian with a massive propaganda victory, allowing him to frame Antony as having betrayed Rome for an Egyptian queen. Strauss explains the divorce was a "credible commitment" by Antony to show his Eastern supporters he was fully committed to the coming conflict. Despite advice from his experienced admiral, Ahenobarbus, to leave Cleopatra behind, Antony refuses because she controls the treasury and the Egyptian navy. While Antony may have preferred a campaign against Parthia, Octavian forces his hand by declaring war. Antony's decision to bring Cleopatra into the war effort is anathema to Romans, who view her as a foreign invader. This sets the stage for confrontation, with Octavian relying on the tactical genius of Marcus Agrippa. (4)

Negative Frame, the London-based metallic hardcore band, will release their long-awaited debut album, ‘Break the Ice', on August 7th, 2026, via Blood Blast Distribution. Few bands go into their debut album as refined as Negative Frame, but the noise-mongers have been doing this since 2017. That's almost a decade of head-banging and spin-kicking wild antics and anybody who has seen them live can attest to their intensity, and brilliance. It's hardcore, but hardcore with a thick and sinewy metallised edge, and on this album, they push their sound in bold new directions. In this interview, we talked about the release and how Negative Frame have scratched and clawed their way to success. We talk about their evolving sound, experimenting on this album, becoming more comfortable in their skins, tearing it up live, and so much more.

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Laura Thomas' work, especially her Bite of Betrayal series.  Ribbons of Guilt takes the suspense to almost thriller level. Listen in and see why I can't wait to find out what's coming next! (I mean, I've already read this so... note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. My review (from my advance reader copy from the publisher). With more twists and turns than a pirouette, Laura Thomas sets the stage for a heart racing story that begins in beauty and builds to a crescendo you pray won't come. In her signature style, Laura layers secrets and sinister situations into one impossible-to-put-down novel. Romantic suspense rises to the next level as Leo and Harriet wrestle not only with the strange events taking their lives hostage but also the possible death of a marriage neither is ready to give up on. Or are they? Stock up on snacks and drinks before you sit down to read, because once you pick up this book, you'll be the next hostage--to the next page! Ribbons of Guilt by Laura Thomas A marriage in crisis. A betrayer in the wings. A life at stake. Harriet Duval has it all—a handsome French husband, a delightful young daughter, a successful career as a professional ballerina behind her, and a beautiful future in a charming village in the English countryside. Even her beloved sisters can't see the painful truth she hides beneath her perfect mask… Successful businessman Leo Duval is at a breaking point physically, emotionally, and spiritually as he is forced to harbor secrets in Paris while his marriage in England dissolves before his very eyes. The magnetic pull of Harriet's old dancing life and the shocking murder of a Swan Lake ballerina causes her to question everything: faith, future, family. When the killer begins targeting the Duval family, Leo and Harriet's vulnerable marriage is tested by an unimaginable traumatic event. Will the guilt they carry divide them when they need each other most? Learn more about Laura on her  WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

What if the channel you've written off as "brand-only" could measurably lift your Meta and Google performance? In this episode, tech journalist David Murphy is joined by Mike Fogarty, Head of Client Development at Tatari, and Lauren Frame, Director of Growth & Brand Media at Greenlight, to explore how a performance-first app brand turned TV from a scary experiment into an always-on channel that now accounts for over a third of its media mix. Whether you're a growth marketer watching CACs climb on paid social, wondering how to measure a channel without click-through attribution, or curious whether AI-produced creative can fight TV's fatigue problem, this conversation offers a practical framework for treating TV as a performance channel. Today's topics include: What Tatari does differently from a DSP: convergent buying across streaming, linear, and online video, with direct network relationships Why Greenlight tapped out at 90% Meta and Google — paying more and more to reach the same non-converting users The "TV is for big brands" perception, and the lessons from going into the Super Bowl in year one Why you can't pick just linear or streaming: the Disney test that found less than 2% audience overlap The targeting opportunities streaming opens up for a parent-focused app How Tatari made TV feel like a digital channel: self-service activation, AI-powered planning, and real-time optimization Measuring TV: dynamic baseline lift, ACR data, MMP integrations, and Greenlight's stack of Rockerbox, iSpot, Kantar, and MMM Geo-based incrementality tests: streaming drove nearly 5x first-touch, new-to-brand customers vs. 1.1x for linear, with Meta reach up 4%, traffic up 8%, and funnel starts up 10% in test regions AI-produced commercials: Greenlight's Peter Pan spot, creative ethics, and solving creative fatigue with new messaging every quarter Honest advice for performance marketers still on the fence about testing TV Links and Resources: Lauren Frame on LinkedIn Greenlight website Mike Fogarty on LinkedIn Tatari website Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

What if the reason you can't hear your intuition isn't because it isn't speaking? What if you've simply lost your frame? In this episode, Brenda shares an unexpected lesson from the dance floor that transformed the way she thinks about intuition, energetic sovereignty, and self-trust. Using partner dancing as a powerful metaphor, she explores why staying grounded in your own energy allows you to better recognize intuitive guidance—and why energy work alone isn't enough if you never take action. You'll learn: What "holding your frame" really means Why "spaghetti arms" might be running your life The difference between healthy tension and unhealthy rigidity Why intuition whispers while fear gets loud The missing piece in so much of today's spiritual and coaching advice How taking imperfect action strengthens self-trust Mentioned in this episode ✨ Lion's Gate Portal: Activate Your Abundance https://www.brendawinkle.com/offers/kngHZc4m/checkout ✨ Private Coaching with Brenda Connect at: https://www.brendawinkle.com/coaching Keywords: LionsGatePortal, Your Yes Filled Life, Abundance Mindset, Intuition, Self Trust, Empath, Breathwork, Reiki Healing, Energy Healing, Nervous System Regulation, Conscious Living, Personal Growth, Aligned Action, Trust Yourself, Embodiment, Brenda Winkle, Hold Your Frame

Tesiah “Tess” Frame is a Latter-day Saint digital content creator, author, and podcaster based in Southern California. Focusing on motherhood, practical scripture study, and active discipleship, she aims to bring optimism, authenticity, and joy to the online conversation surrounding Latter-day Saint women. Alongside Becky Squire, she co-hosts the Certain Women Podcast, a Come, Follow Me scripture study program specifically geared toward women, and is the co-owner of the children’s faith brand Happy Sacrament. Outside of her media work, Tessis a mother of three boys and a resilient survivor of a highly traumatic medical crisis during late pregnancy, during which she was placed in a temporary medical coma to safely deliver her youngest son. Utilizing her platforms and personal experiences, she actively encourages Church members to lean into personal initiative, love the gospel, and fearlessly minister on a local scale.

The conversation centers on navigating local leadership dynamics, finding purpose outside of official callings, and historical and scriptural frameworks for the Relief Society. 00:04:08 – Tess Frame’s Journey and Unique Birth Experience 00:07:00 – Finding Purpose and Taking Initiative in the Church 00:10:01 – The Libertarian Approach to Church Programs 00:12:34 – Women's Experience in Church Leadership 00:14:18 – Advice for Relief Society Leaders 00:16:33 – Empowering Women Beyond Official Roles 00:17:30 – Lessons from Women in the Scriptures 00:19:07 – Studying Women in the Scriptures 00:25:25 – Continuity Among Women in the Scriptures 00:27:56 – The Role of Women in the Relief Society 00:30:01 – Navigating Social Media as a Woman 00:35:46 – Understanding the Addictive Nature of Social Media 00:39:42 – The Historical Context of the Relief Society 00:44:29 – The Essential Role of Women in God's Kingdom Key Insights Proactive Discipleship: Members should not wait for system-wide institutional changes or official permissions to address local ward needs; recognizing a need is often a spiritual prompting to act. Avoiding Local Hierarchies: Over-regulation by local leadership can accidentally create organizational barriers that prevent auxiliary leaders from fully acting within their stewardships. The Spirit of Relief Society: The true, foundational purpose of the Relief Society is providing local, practical relief and ministering rather than just organizing social activities. Scriptural Continuity: Studying scriptural women—such as Ruth, Rahab, Sarah, and Hannah—reveals flawed but profoundly faithful individuals whose inter-generational commitments parallel modern sisterhood. Mindful Social Media Use: Platforms use algorithms designed to trigger primitive emotional responses like anger and comparison; creators and consumers must intentionally cultivate self-awareness to remain peacemakers online. Supporting Male Experiences: Ward groups must also remain attentive to the emotional, mental health, and connection needs of men, as structural shifts and heavy callings can leave them feeling disconnected. Leadership Applications Encourage Autonomous Ministering: Bishops can empower Relief Society presidencies by explicitly clarifying which matters require priesthood approval and which allow them to act independently to provide immediate community relief. Foster Local Adjustments: Ward leaders can prioritize home-centered gatherings or small-group rotations to break down ward cliques without requiring formal budgets or institutional approval.

⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥ Tidal is about to stop paying royalties on any track it judges to be fully machine-made. Frame that as a music story and you miss the shift underneath it. By Deezer's own detection, roughly 75,000 AI-generated tracks now arrive every day, about 44% of everything uploaded, yet that same AI music is only 1 to 3 percent of what people actually play, and around 85% of those streams are flagged as fraudulent. The flood is not an audience. It is an attack on a shared payout. This edition follows one pattern across six industries: when the cost of generating something collapses toward zero, platforms stop paying for output and start paying for proof of human origin. Tidal cuts AI royalties. The Authors Guild sells a "Human Authored" badge for ten dollars a title. YouTube demonetizes "inauthentic" content. curl killed its bug bounty after a flood of AI slop, then reopened when the slop got good. And where no gatekeeper owns the payout, hiring, the open web, the scientific record, the flood just degrades the mechanism until no one trusts it. In this edition of Lens Four:

1034. Watching the young adults in your life navigate their first "real" job is an exciting milestone—but it can also be stressful if you notice them carrying credit card debt or skipping out on savings. Laura answers a heartfelt question on this topic with five non-judgmental strategies to guide a young person toward financial success without sounding overbearing. Key takeawaysTo help a young adult improve their personal finances, trade lectures for personal storytelling, like sharing your money blunders.Ensure a first-time Gen Z earner understands that paying only the minimum on high-interest debt is a trap that escalates the cost of original purchases.Frame credit cards as sophisticated financial tools with excellent benefits that need to be handled carefully, such as with automated payments to avoid interest.Investing when you're young allows you to build wealth for less out-of-pocket than waiting until you earn more. Not maximizing an employer's retirement match is like turning down a salary raise for no extra work.Ask open-ended questions about a young adult's lifestyle goals, workplace benefits, and day-to-day spending shocks rather than telling them how to budget.Discover more from Money Girl!FacebookNewsletterTranscripts available at QuickandDirtyTips.com.Email: Laura@LauraDAdams.com or leave a voicemail: (302) 364-0308.

Celebrated Bay Area artist Mildred Howard's work has long been informed by the place she calls home, reflecting the intersection of her family's history and the larger history of the Bay Area. You may have seen her massive “Frame” at Hunters Point Shipyard, her wall of saxophones at SFO or her sculpture, “Delivered, Mable's Promissory Note,” outside the Ashby BART station, which commemorates her mother's successful fight for the undergrounding of BART tracks in South Berkeley. Now, more of Howard's pieces can be seen at the Oakland Museum of California, which is hosting her first major retrospective. We'll speak with Howard, and with people who have studied her work, about what it means to make art that's of and for the Bay Area. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Summary: Listen as teaches from the Word of God.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. This series is dedicated to exploring little-known—and occasionally useful—trinkets lurking in the dusty corners of UNIX-like operating systems. In UNIX Curio #8 ( HPR episode 4657 ), I talked about using standard utilities to compare files. Left unmentioned, however, was a method commonly used today—the hash function. As I've stated in previous entries, while I am an engineer, I don't have a background in computer science, so my understanding of the mathematics is limited. But I can give a practical description of what a hash function does. It takes an input, performs a set of calculations on it, and produces an output. As hash functions are practically used, the input is a set of bytes, such as a file or another piece of data like a password. The output is a numerical value in a fixed range—most often, expressed as hexadecimal characters. Because this "hash value" can always be represented in a certain number of bytes, its length as printed is usually a constant number of characters, padded with leading zeros if necessary. This episode will not cover the use of hashes in programming, focusing instead on using them to validate data. A hash function, or more specifically, a cryptographic hash function, has an additional property. It should be very difficult to predict what changes to the input would be required to produce a specific change in the output. An older, related concept is called a "checksum". While these are designed to vary when the input data is damaged or digits are transposed, they do not necessarily have that last property mentioned for cryptographic hashes. You have probably already encountered a checksum, even if you didn't recognize it. On a 16-digit number assigned to a Mastercard or Visa 1 credit or debit card, the first six digits identify the card issuer (such as a bank), the next nine digits are assigned to you by the issuer, and the last digit is a check digit. The check digit is calculated using the values of the previous 15 digits, and it is a simple way to avoid typos in entering a card number. In another example, every Ethernet frame that your devices send or receive includes a checksum 2 to help ensure that the contents weren't scrambled in transit. This is 32 bits long and is called a cyclical redundancy check, commonly referred to as a CRC. A CRC is also used in many other places—for example, the .zip file format includes one for each archive member, and this allows a program extracting files from the archive to identify if any were damaged. Our UNIX Curio for today is another example, the cksum utility 3 . It generates a 32-bit CRC based on the Ethernet algorithm. It operates on either a named file or standard input and outputs the CRC value, the length of the input, and the pathname if a file was given as an argument. Unlike most modern hashing programs, the checksum is printed as a decimal integer and is not padded, so it can be anywhere from one to ten digits long. The length value is the number of bytes in the input (actually specified as the number of octets , as systems could potentially use a byte that isn't eight bits long), also expressed as a decimal integer. There are two major ways that one could use cksum to check the validity of a file. First, if you are transferring a file from one UNIX-like system to another, you could run cksum against it on both systems and check that the CRC and length are the same. The utility can also be given multiple filenames as arguments, which would generate a list that can then be compared. The second way would be for someone publishing a file or set of files to also publish the CRC values, lengths, and names so that people downloading them could verify that they match. However, I don't think the practice of publishing lists like this really started until more recent hash functions like MD5 and SHA-1 came about so it is unlikely that anyone would publish CRC values instead. The advantage of these tools should be pretty obvious in comparison to cmp , one of the utilities discussed in UNIX Curio #8. To verify a file using cmp , you need two files to compare—if you're trying to check a large file you downloaded, you would need to spend the time and bandwidth to download a second copy. And if they didn't match, you would have no idea which of the two, if either, was correct. By contrast, cksum is quicker to run, doesn't require downloading a massive amount of excess data, and if run against the original file, makes clear what the correct value is. This utility is a follow-on from a program called sum , which operated very much the same. I had a bit of trouble tracking down the exact development history, but what seems clear is that two different variants 4 were popular: a BSD version and a System V version. Both output 16-bit checksums, but used different algorithms so they didn't give the same results. Also, the BSD version printed the length of the input data as the number of 1,024-byte blocks, while the System V version instead gave a count of 512-byte blocks. (Some sources claim that System V sum generates a 32-bit checksum 5 , which could possibly be true internal to the algorithm, but I have tested several independent implementations of the utility and all of them output a 16-bit value for both the System V and BSD algorithms.) From what I can tell, the BSD version 6,7 came first; it was in 3BSD but probably appeared even earlier. An identical copy of BSD's sum was included with UNIX/32V 8,9 , which was AT&T's 1979 port of Seventh Edition UNIX to the VAX and became one of the ancestors of System III. The divergence seems to have started with System III, released in 1980; its version of the sum utility 10,11 changed to a new default algorithm, though it could be made to use the BSD algorithm via the -r option. System V looks to have kept the same behavior as System III. It's not clear to me why this algorithm is universally called the "System V algorithm" rather than the "System III algorithm"; perhaps it is because System V saw much more widespread use. Instead of trying to reconcile these differences, the POSIX committee decided to create a new utility with a unique name, use a separate algorithm entirely, and avoid the block-length dispute by printing the length in octets instead of blocks. I should point out that POSIX states that the CRC algorithm for cksum does not strictly meet the mathematical definition of a "checksum". I don't know enough to say exactly why it doesn't qualify or to say whether either of the sum algorithms do. However, in less-formal usage the term "checksum" has gathered the meaning of any value used to represent or validate a set of data, so I am fine with using it no matter the technical details of the algorithm. When two different inputs produce the same checksum or hash value, this is called a "collision". Because the output value has a limited range, there are an infinite number of possible inputs that could produce a collision. From a practical standpoint the possibilities are more limited—the majority of these inputs are larger than the number of atoms in the universe, which can't fit on any machine. Unlike a cryptographic hash algorithm, the CRC is not specifically designed to resist an attacker crafting a malicious input that would cause a collision. However, it should be sufficient to detect accidental damage. Programs implementing more modern cryptographic hash algorithms are superior to the checksum utilities in avoiding collisions (whether malicious or accidental), but there are still three advantages that the older programs have. First, a system running a historical operating system might not have the hash programs available, but is more likely to have cksum or sum already included. Second, the checksum values are much shorter than the hashes output by the newer programs, making them easier for a user to compare by looking at them. This advantage is not as great as it might appear at first, because a common way to check a hash these days is to save a list of hashes and filenames—the hash programs can use that and do the comparison themselves, sparing the user from having to validate it character by character. The third advantage is that cksum prints the input length in bytes. This greatly limits the number of inputs that could be maliciously crafted to create a collision. I did a moderate amount of research on implementations of modern cryptographic hash algorithms and found that some, such as MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-2, do use the length of the input (often termed "message length" in the literature) as part of the material fed in to the algorithm, but none of the hashing utilities present this length to the user as part of its output. There are two possible reasons for this that seem evident to me. First, if one is hashing a password, you would certainly not want to give a clear indication of its length—that would give any attacker a massive head start on guessing the password. However, that doesn't explain why one would avoid printing the input length for a file that is made publicly available. Second, it is convenient in many contexts, such as database entries or in software (such as git ), for the hash to be a fixed length. Including an extra value that can be of variable length would complicate those use cases. However, the length value could simply be dropped and they would be no worse off than they are currently. Historically on UNIX, password hashing was treated differently from checksumming files— the crypt() function 12 was used for passwords while sum and later cksum were used to confirm a file's integrity. So even rather early on, these two use cases employed algorithms with different properties, but I haven't dived into the history deeply enough to know how intentional this was. My discussion in this episode focuses on the file use case, so understand that I'm largely avoiding the topic of password hashing. Digital signatures are yet another use case, one that I'm ignoring entirely. Every few years, some security researcher declares a particular hash algorithm to be "broken" and that everyone should move over to a new one, which generally has a longer hash. While the larger hash space certainly reduces the opportunity for collisions, this disrupts workflows, such as publishing information about software releases by e-mail, which still tends to observe a 78-character limit on each line 13 , making it harder to include a list of hashes with filenames next to them. This is in addition to the work of modifying software and scripts to use the new algorithm and managing how to treat past data. It seems to me that publishing the input length along with the hash would make it far more difficult to craft a malicious input that matches both, but I haven't found discussion of that during my investigation. (See the Appendix for a possible implementation.) Perhaps someone listening can record a response episode for HPR explaining that.

Let us imagine a variant of this, called MD5.L, where the normal MD5 hash is followed by a "." character and the input length expressed as a hexadecimal number. Take, for example, the e-mail message announcing the release of OpenSSH 10.1 14 . At the bottom, it includes an SHA-1 hash and an SHA-2 256-bit hash for the available gzipped tar files. That longer hash is encoded with Base64 because if it were given as a hexadecimal number, it would make the line longer than 78 bytes. The MD5.L hash of the file would be one character shorter than the SHA-1 hash, as shown below. (The extra length of the name makes them both consume the same number of characters. The hashes shown are for the "portable" version of OpenSSH.) Some people claim SHA-1 is also broken, seeking to have people use newer and longer hash functions. For an attacker to compromise MD5.L in this example, they would not only have to create a valid tar file compressed with gzip containing a malicious payload having the right MD5 hash, that file would have to be exactly 1,972,831 bytes long (the decimal equivalent of 1e1a5f). While there are still many possible inputs that could be tried (256 1972831 , to be exact*), this is far fewer than the infinite possibilities for plain MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-2. If for some reason it is super important to have a fixed hash length, let's imagine another variation called MD5+L. In this one, instead of L being the input length, it is the input length modulo one terabyte (2 40 bytes), which can be represented by 10 hexadecimal characters, left-padded with zeros. While this approach substantially increases the number of possible inputs an attacker could try, it is likely that an intended victim would notice that the file they downloaded is larger (or smaller) than expected by that much. The MD5+L hash is longer than a SHA-1 hash, but still shorter than a 256-bit SHA-2 hash. SHA1 (openssh-10.1p1.tar.gz) = 7fd17b99d1beffb47cd380d64079e920bb0bd91f SHA256 (openssh-10.1p1.tar.gz) = ufx6K4JXlGem8vQ+SoHI4d/aYU3bT5slWq/XAgu/B1g= MD5.L (openssh-10.1p1.tar.gz) = 80dd9bb00a86519934710d05903fdf07.1e1a5f MD5+L (openssh-10.1p1.tar.gz) = 80dd9bb00a86519934710d05903fdf07+00001e1a5f Of course, if MD5 is considered to be too weak even with the inclusion of the length, one could produce a ".L" or "+L" version of any hash function. However, longer hashes will end up running into the 78-character limit. *This is a number with 4.75 million digits that the bc utility on my laptop took almost 5 minutes to calculate.

HOST: Michael Fanning, SVP & Co-Owner, Windermere Coaching. Host of the Windermere Coaching Minute podcast.EPISODE SUMMARY:Two agents, two transactions, same root problem: both saw the truth clearly and chose silence instead. A seller priced 60 grand over market with a dated kitchen and an unrealistic timeline. A buyer whose wish list didn't match their budget. Neither agent said the hard thing early, so both paid for it later in price reductions, blown deadlines, and lost trust. Michael breaks down the research on why avoidance isn't a character flaw it's the brain protecting a relationship it values and getting the strategy wrong and lays out a five-part system for making the hard conversation automatic instead of optional.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• Set the expectation for honesty with every client in the first conversation, before there's anything difficult to say• Have the price conversation in plain language before you ever present the CMA, not buried inside the data• Frame the 85-to-90% concept in your first buyer consultation so no house has to be perfect to be right• Use Chris Voss's accusation audit to name the hard truth yourself before the client has to discover it• Hold clients capable of hearing reality instead of underestimating what they can handle• Build a fixed system for hard conversations so they don't depend on how brave you feel that dayRESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS:Never Split the Difference Chris VossSuggestology Georgi LozanovResearch referenced: Yale Brain Function Laboratory and Penn State studies on conversational avoidanceCONNECT:windermerecoaching.comSubmit a topic: Fanning@windermere.com

Mark Sherwood Edwards is the Sales Side Lawyer. This podcast is all about having a sales-centric approach to legal contracting.Summary of PodcastKey TakeawaysProblem: ~50% of deals die in contracting, often due to lawyers acting as a "Department for Sales Prevention" and triggering buyer anxiety.Solution: Treat legal risk as a price point. Frame buyer requests (e.g., for unlimited liability) as commercial choices that increase the price, shifting the negotiation from legal to business.Tactic: Reduce buyer anxiety by offering easy-out clauses (e.g., monthly after 12 months). This builds trust and forces the seller to focus on service quality to retain customers.Goal: Move all deals toward "no-touch" contracting (e.g., click-through T&Cs) to eliminate negotiation friction and speed up deal closure.The Problem: Contracting Kills DealsLawyers often act as a "Department for Sales Prevention," slowing deals and creating friction.The "Spoon" Analogy: Lawyers often make minor, risk-averse changes that alter the deal's structure, even if the core agreement is sound.Key Driver → Buyer Anxiety: The primary obstacle is a buyer's personal risk ("Fear of Messing Up"), not just corporate risk.Why: A long, complex contracting process increases the risk of the deal failing due to external factors (e.g., strategy changes, competitor bids).The Solution: A Sales-Centric Legal ApproachCore Principle: Treat legal risk as a price point.How: Frame buyer requests for increased risk (e.g., unlimited liability) as commercial choices that will increase the price.Why: This shifts the negotiation from a legal debate to a commercial one, where business stakeholders are more reasonable and budget-conscious.The "Sales Side Setup": Prepare for this by stating upfront in proposals that pricing is based on your standard T&Cs and that changes may affect the price.Easy-Out Clauses: Offer flexible termination terms (e.g., monthly after an initial 12-month period).Why: This reduces buyer anxiety and forces the seller to maintain high service quality to retain the customer.Caveat: This approach may not suit deals with high upfront costs (e.g., outsourcing), where a longer lock-in is needed to reach profitability.Practical Tactics for Small BusinessesContracting Spectrum: Classify deals into three types and aim to move all toward "no-touch."No-Touch: Click-through T&Cs (e.g., Google, HubSpot).Low-Touch: Minor negotiations.High-Touch: Significant negotiation.Simplify Contracts:Use plain English and clear headings.For simple deals, use a signed letter of agreement instead of a formal contract.Payment Terms:Goal: Get paid in advance to eliminate the need for legal recovery clauses.Response to Long Terms: Counter with a price increase (e.g., 5%) or remove scope to meet the budget.The Next 100 Days Podcast Co-HostsGraham ArrowsmithGraham founded Finely Fettled in 2014 to provide data from the UK High Net Worth Database to marketers targeting affluent and high-net-worth customers.

A listener sent me a message saying I'd lost my spark. That I didn't sound inspired anymore. Honestly... it made me stop and think. In this episode, I unpack why he was partly right. My calling isn't software deals anymore. It's building businesses, solving problems, and showing up for the people who count on me. I also share one AI workflow that's completely changed how I lead AppSumo, why we overreacted to the AI boom, and what happens when you stop chasing every shiny new thing and get back to your core. If you've ever wondered whether you've outgrown your work, this one's for you.  In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: • Why your calling can evolve without losing your purpose • How to course-correct when you realize you've drifted too far from your core • Why honest feedback (even from AI) can make you a better leader Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way. I have also been sharing emails on my brutally honest advice on a variety of topics. People have been loving it.

Here's Claudes feedback on this very episode as it was happening in realtime: The strongest thing in this episode is the thing you didn't plan to talk about. Marcin's note ("you don't sound inspired, you don't want to run AppSumo, you're in the best season of your life") is the whole episode, and your answer to it is genuinely good. The problem is you never say it cleanly. The cleanest version is buried in the middle: software deals isn't your calling, but business is your calling and the company is your responsibility, and the spark didn't die, it matured into follow-through. That's the episode. Right now it's a needle in 20 minutes of riffing instead of the spine the whole thing hangs on. You bury your two best business lessons. The refund/Plus-customer admission is the most useful leadership moment in the episode and you glide past it: "I made decisions on the best info I had, but I didn't check back on the outcomes and improve them, and we course-corrected too slow." That's a clean, repeatable lesson any operator can steal. Same with the over-adjustment arc (we thought SaaS was dying and vibe coding would kill us, so we over-corrected, and now we're walking it back to the core). Both are stronger than the abstract "discoverability / velocity / treat best customers better" framing, which stays high-level. Lead with the admissions, not the framework. The Claude feedback loop is your most shareable practical drop and you undersell it with the $9.99 joke. Transcript-into-Claude-for-feedback, the Eamon skill, Meeting Coach running live during meetings, the reframe that a CEO sets the scorecards instead of solving the problems in the room. That's the segment people will text you about. Give it room. What's working: the vulnerability lands, the floor-sleeping callback is great, and "it's okay to quit stuff and it's okay to continue stuff, the point is recognizing the behavior and whether it's aligned" is your most quotable line. "Calm is cool" and "building up" are good repeatable phrases. What's hurting it: it meanders and has three or four false endings ("yeah that's it," "damn that was the good stuff"). The BYOLM/BYOK bit at the end feels tacked on, half a thought you ran out of runway for. And the "I won't share company secrets" then sharing them is a touch coy. Either share or don't. One structural fix for next time: you open with the listener critique by accident. Open with it on purpose. The episode is "someone told me I lost my spark, here's my honest answer." Frame it that way in the first 60 seconds and the whole thing tightens.

Most agents know their comps are right. The problem is they don't know how to say it. This comparative market analysis roleplay shows you the exact framework that gets sellers to stop arguing and start agreeing, word for word, live, with real-time coaching feedback.Here's what you're going to walk away with:✅ The complete listing appointment CMA script, not a template, an actual conversation you can use tomorrow✅ How to present comps to sellers in a way that makes them feel like they discovered the right price themselves instead of being told what it is✅ The "neighbors did us a favor" reframe that turns overpriced active listings into your most powerful pricing tool✅ The two-part real estate CMA walkthrough structure that frames data as a story, not a spreadsheet✅ How to use the "if you were a buyer" question to shift the seller's perspective without creating any confrontation✅ When to show active listings and when to skip them, and exactly what to say in both situations✅ The Frame, Message, Influence Objective structure that controls every seller pricing conversation from start to finish✅ How to handle soft language and wishy-washy answers in real time so you never lose the room againThis is a real estate coaching roleplay, not a lecture. You'll watch the conversation play out, hear the coaching corrections happen live, and understand not just what to say but why it works. That's the difference between memorizing a script and actually owning the skill.If you've ever walked out of a listing presentation unsure whether the seller really bought in on price, this is the video that changes that.

Cultural gaslighting is attempted when people in charge of something take some absurdity, throw a saddle on it, and then stand next to it, booted, spurred, and ready to ride. For example, the absurdity could be saying that the attempted beheading in Ireland was the result of us not being welcoming and inclusive enough. And believe me, they will ride that absurdity as long as the people out there put up with it. Who are you going to believe? Me or your lying eyes?For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/  

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, Bryan sits down with Kelsey Hei and Andy Fox from 3M Filtrete to pull back the curtain on what really goes into a quality air filter. Most homeowners — and even some contractors — think of air filters as simple screens that catch dust, but as this episode makes clear, modern filter technology is anything but simple. From proprietary nonwoven fiber structures to electrostatic charging that turns fibers into "magnets" for microscopic particles, the science behind a great air filter is both fascinating and critically important for equipment health and the air we breathe every day. The conversation digs deep into why MERV 13 has become the gold standard recommendation from organizations like the EPA and CDC — especially in the wake of COVID-19 and worsening wildfire seasons across the country. While higher MERV ratings deliver better particle capture, they can also mean higher pressure drop, which strains HVAC equipment. This is where Filtrete's MPR 1900 filter stands out: it achieves MERV 13 performance while maintaining a pressure drop comparable to most MERV 8 filters — roughly half that of leading competitors. That balance between filtration efficiency and airflow resistance is something 3M has spent over 35 years engineering. One of the most compelling segments focuses on real-world testing. Rather than relying solely on lab data, 3M runs extensive in-home studies — placing filters in dozens of homes during Minnesota winters, then retrieving and analyzing them to measure real-life efficiency and pressure drop. This commitment to real-world validation ensures Filtrete's claims hold up in the messy, variable conditions of actual homes, not just controlled lab environments. Bryan and the guests also discuss how overloaded or collapsed filters can cause serious equipment issues, including frozen coils and system shutdowns in extreme cases — underscoring why filter quality and regular replacement matter enormously. The episode wraps with practical advice for contractors and homeowners alike: if you're installing a new system, push for a four- or five-inch filter slot to maximize surface area, lower ongoing pressure drop, and extend filter life. For existing one-inch slots, the MPR 1900 is the top pick. The Filtrete Smart App is also highlighted as a handy tool for setting filter change reminders and monitoring local air quality — making it easier than ever for consumers to stay on top of their indoor air health. Topics Covered ·       3M Filtrete's history — 35+ years of indoor air quality innovation, owning the full manufacturing value chain from raw fiber to finished filter ·       The three pillars of air filter design — Efficiency, pressure drop, and air filter lifetime — and how they must be balanced ·       Nonwoven media explained — Why random fiber orientation captures particles more effectively than woven fabrics ·       Electrostatic charging technology — How fibers are engineered to attract and trap microscopic particles ·       Charge stability over time — Shelf life testing and real-world in-home studies to verify long-term performance ·       Why MERV 13 matters — EPA, CDC, and ASHRAE recommendations; effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, allergens, and wildfire smoke ·       Pressure drop and airflow — How high-resistance air filters strain equipment, raise energy bills, and can cause system failures ·       MPR 1900 spotlight — MERV 13 filtration at MERV 8 pressure drop, with publicly available data through the California Energy Commission ·       California Energy Commission database — Publicly available pressure drop and efficiency data on every filter sold in the U.S. ·       Pleats and surface area — Why having more pleats equals better dust-holding capacity and a longer filter life ·       Frame strength and bypass prevention — How structural integrity affects real-world performance over the filter's lifespan ·       MPR rating system explained — Microparticle Performance Rating: Filtrete's system focused on capturing the smallest, hardest-to-catch particles ·       Exceeding ASHRAE minimums — Filtrete's MERV 11, 12, and 13 filters all capture significantly more fine particles than the minimum standard requires ·       One-inch vs. four/five-inch filters — Why thicker filters are ideal for new installs and how to maximize one-inch slot performance ·       Energy consumption impact — How pressure drop affects fan wattage, system efficiency, and real annual utility costs ·       The Filtrete Smart App — Set filter change reminders at 30/60/90 days, store filter sizes, and get local air quality alerts   Learn more about Filtrete's air filters at filtrete.com or download the Filtrete Smart App on your Android or iOS smartphone.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Andy Stumpf is a retired Navy SEAL, world-record-holding wingsuit BASE jumper, martial artist, and author. We discuss the mental framework and moment-to-moment decision-making process that can allow anyone to build discipline and resilience and better navigate both everyday life and life's most challenging moments. Andy explains several simple-yet-powerful tools gleaned from his time in — and after — his SEAL career that can help you determine where to focus your actions and how to clear your mind of things you can't control or that hold you back mentally. Andy also shares and reflects on lessons learned from some of the deeply personal challenges he faced outside of combat and freefall. Finally, we explore the all-too-frequent tragedy of people — including high performers — taking their own lives, and consider what might be done to prevent more such losses.
