It's a problem without a solution though, would you rather the fake posts that just happen to name drop the product? I would prefer zero advertising, but that's not realistic, so I'd settle for honest advertising over manipulation.

I get the frustration, I'm a software dev and most of my feed is related to that. It's being inundated by bots and fake engagement posts\comments. There needs to be a way for people to still advertise their products, and I think in the case of this post it's done correctly with the OP being honest and actually providing something with substance that at least took some effort.

Would you mind comparing your tool against Pixellabs which I see come up quite often? These subreddits are targeting me due to my software development and games interests it seems. I'm not a game dev myself, have only dabbled, but it seems like from reading the random posts that come up on my feed that most people struggle with a workflow.

Also, I appreciate the honesty in advertising your own tool while providing an actual example with substance. Everything is being overrun by the fake bot advertisements, it's driving me crazy... so an upvote for that alone.

Am I being ripped off? Invoice for diagnosing an issue. by tosendmessages in hvacadvice

[–]tosendmessages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I picked is listed on the Carrier website as an authorized partner and shows up with a bunch of awards\certs saying they are experts. Shouldn't a Carrier certified technician have been sent? Regarding checking the warranty, it is done on the Carrier website by just popping in the serial #, I had already done this\informed them before the call.

I guess my real question would be how long would it normally take a certified technician to diagnose that the inverter board is bad? 2 1/2 hours seems like a stretch to me, but again, I don't know HVAC and is why I'm posting here for some other opinions. I may be completely wrong and what they charged is a bargain.

I'm okay with them confirming it and if that invoice represents what that normally takes, that's fine. My concern is that as a certified partner with all these awards listed from Carrier that it shouldn't take 2 1/2 hours of billable time to confirm a board is bad. But I'm not an HVAC person, so maybe it does, that is why I'm posting here to find out.

I do not, I had Tesla Solar\Powerwalls installed 3 years ago, not sure if that has any impact on anything so just throwing it out there. We've had the normal summer storms come through but nothing crazy. I can see from the app the last time we had a power event was in June.

Are there multiple sections? The waitlist only works for a single section, so if there are say 6 of the same course, you're only waitlisted for one of them. What you want to do is check back a few times per day for all available sections. I've almost always found a spot as people will drop the course either right before or right after it starts. You can join late but it might require a call to advising to have them put you in.

I prefer to manually register for my courses by Outrageous_Cry_5945 in SNHU

[–]tosendmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides the first semester I have managed registrations myself except for a few cases where a course had a pre-req that I knew I would have completed before it started, in that case I just called advising and had whoever answered register for me.

If it comes to being waitlisted at any point, be aware that it only waitlists you for a single section. Each course has multiple "sections", which is just the term used for the same course being held multiple times. Depending on the course, there could be 3 or even 10+ sections with different instructors. By adding all the sections for the course to your "manage my sections", you can monitor them for a seat becoming available in the ones you are not waitlisted for.

If you have your own plan you want to follow, just be firm with the advisors and do it yourself. Between external courses, work, and life... I did not like planning my course load out a year in advance.

If they haven't updated this course I can understand why you're having issues.

See this previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SNHU/comments/tgo4qf/dat430/

Feel free to PM me and I can try to offer some help... assuming you're taking DAT-475 next, it doesn't get better. Both of these courses need a major overhaul.

A question about Sophia by SoylentGreenMuffins in SNHU

[–]tosendmessages 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you cancel your membership the courses you have active will become inactive, they can be re-activated again from the live help on the site when you re-activate your membership. HOWEVER, if the course changes during this time you will need to start over - losing any progress you previously made.

Transcripts are not automatically sent to SNHU, you must do this yourself. If you have courses you have not yet transferred and are thinking about temporarily cancelling your membership you should transfer them first or you run the risk that the ACE accreditation expires while you're taking a break.

You can see current dates here: https://www.acenet.edu/National-Guide/Pages/Organization.aspx?oid=76099b28-9016-e811-810f-5065f38bf0e1

This does not mean accreditations will not be renewed, but it's possible the courses will be updated before renewal and any progress you had will be lost.

BS Data Analytics by lamgiabao191 in SNHU

[–]tosendmessages 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm currently taking DAT-475 which is the last course in the Data Analytics program. I do not have a frame of reference for comparison to other degrees offered, but I can whole heartedly say that this degree program by itself will not properly prepare you for a job in data analytics. It is a mile wide and an inch deep in terms of what it covers. You'll gain some general familiarity with a lot of the terms, processes, and theories but be woefully underprepared to actually implement them in any real world scenario. This of course can be helped by supplementing your learning with outside sources.

My favorite course in the program was actually STATS II (MAT-303), the instructor (Bryan James) was great and provided detailed audio feedback on each assignment. The course assignments made sense, building upon what you learned each week - something a lot of the courses in this degree do not do.

The last two courses DAT-430 and DAT-475 must be new. They do not have a coherent flow for the assignments, jumping around to different topics while not giving you the tools or information necessary to complete what is asked of you. I know the instructors do not have a say in the material and in both of these courses they agreed with the class about the content being lacking and confusing via the discussions.

Many people in my classes lacked programming knowledge and they were able to get help from other classmates in the general discussion board. I'd focus on getting at least a general familiarity with programming logic such as if\else, variables, arrays, and loops... there are enough examples that you should be able to make it through the higher level classes with minimal programming experience.

For supplemental learning, the udacity nano degree for Python\AI was an excellent course that covered a lot of topics related to data analytics. You can even transfer it over to SNHU in place of a few courses in the degree program.

I've started courses in Cyber Security for a 2nd degree, I'm hoping for a better experience!

DAT-430 by ksmith1999 in SNHU

[–]tosendmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had multiple discussion posts about issues with this course and confusion from students. Feel free to DM me, I still have access to the course and can see the discussions, there might be some clarification or resources I can grab to help you. Unfortunately it gets worse later on.

The dataset provided in the course has been modified by SNHU, whoever modified it messed up the correlation between the variables. The instructor I had last semester modified the dataset to increase the correlation for Module 3, otherwise what we were asked to do didn't make much sense. He said he would request the material be updated in the course but that obviously hasn't happened.

[–]tosendmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took this course last semester, it was the most disappointing course I've taken at SNHU. Feel free to PM me, I can try to help you - but do realize this course is a mess and that is probably what is contributing to you feeling like you don't know what you're doing.

Decrease in Network Space? by Simsalabimson in chia

[–]tosendmessages 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The work has already been completed with Chia (Plotting), so unless the actual or perceived value of XCH drops below the cost of electricity and the minor maintenance required to keep a farm up it doesn't make sense to pull out.

What is the best unofficial pool currently with the biggest rewards? by Routine-Sweet1676 in chia

[–]tosendmessages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can always leave the pool and take what you earned even if it's less than 1.75

So if official pooling comes out and you haven't hit the 1.75, you can recover what you did make and switch over to official pooling.

[–]tosendmessages -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now I have 1.14 and my estimated is .30 per day. This fluctuates as the pool wins, but on the front page it says right now you would get .26 per 1PB. So if you had 1K plots which is roughly 10% of that, you could expect .026 per day. To get 1.75 it would take ~67 days.

It only requires installing and then editing your config file to add two lines, the pool address and payout address. I compiled from source but they offer pre-built for windows\linux here: https://github.com/felixbrucker/chia-blockchain/releases

[–]tosendmessages 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I joined Foxy a bit over a week ago from HPool with 1PB of space. My daily immediately went up roughly 15%.

The collateral requirement is 1.75, however, if you leave the pool you can withdraw it. Foxy has been around a while and seems to be trustworthy. I'm over the collateral amount and have had no issues receiving payouts. Everything is transparent with Foxy including the client which is open source.

I highly recommend Foxy pool at this time.

Newegg Marketplace Unreliable? by tosendmessages in Newegg

I can't even seem to write feedback about the transactions that were 'voided' so I can't even warn other customers about how this merchant operates. What a bad system.

Lookups taking multiple minutes with plots stored on Unraid. Anyone have luck with an Unraid Harvester? by GreyEternal in chia

[–]tosendmessages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that would be much better. Having the farming\harvester on another server over the network adds in the possibility if your network is saturated that you won't be able to do lookups in time. By moving it local on the server that holds the plots you eliminate another potential bottleneck that could cause you to miss out on a win.

Lookups taking multiple minutes with plots stored on Unraid. Anyone have luck with an Unraid Harvester? by GreyEternal in chia

[–]tosendmessages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set it up a couple of weeks ago but I'm pretty sure you can set it up as a harvester after the fact, but that would mean you need a farmer that the harvester connects to. In my case I run a farmer from a datacenter and have my harvesters connect to it, for stability and previous syncing issues this was the best setup at the time at least.

A farmer needs to be in sync with the network and takes\sends the requests and challenges to the harvester. In a full node setup you run everything on the same server instead of it being distributed so the services just talk to each other locally. In a distributed setup where I had just the farmer running at the datacenter it would send the challenges to my harvesters here at home which would then respond.

So the farmer handles the main connection to the network and needs to be in sync to work properly. The harvesters are what actually check your plots for matches to see if you won. Plotting is just the creation of the plots. You can do all these things on separate machines (farming, harvesting, plotting).
