The iPad Pro

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  10

Are you tired of carrying a heavy computer that takes low-level pictures and is very slow? Well, the iPad Pro is the complete opposite of this. First, it is not heavy at all. After all, it is just an iPad, so of course, it is very light. Also, it takes very high-quality pictures. This is true because it uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging. LiDAR is used to determine distance by measuring how long it takes light to reach an object and reflect. Finally, it is super fast. Apple says that it is so fast that most PC laptops can not catch up. Overall, the iPad Pro is a very quality iPad so you should buy it. ...  Read more

Differences between ranks and levels

Categories: Tech, Education | Pubby Cash Received:  10

People might be confused about the differences between ranks and levels. In this article, I will explain their concepts and why they need to be separated. Take academic ranks in the United States as an example. Academic ranks are the titles, relative importance and power of professors, researchers, and administrative personnel held in academia. The most common hierarchy for professors are three ranks: assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor. In some cases, chaired professor is also considered as a rank higher than regular full professor. In addition to ranks, the academia also has levels. Ranks are the titles printed on business cards to show people, while levels are different. Levels are mainly used internally for salary reference. In China, professors have 13 levels despite that the ranks are only 4. Their relationship between levels and ranks are as follows: Full Professor Level 1: Full professors who are academicians Level 2: Full professors who gain "Thousand Talent" titles and the like Level 3: Full professors who gain "Youth Thousand Talent" titles and the like Level 4: Full professors with no honorary titles Associate Professor Level 5, Level 6, Level 7 Assistant Professor Level 8, Level 9, Level 10 Technician Level 11, Level 12, Level 13 As far as I know, the base salary for a level 9 assistant professor is 5K while a level 4 full professor is 10K in China. In addition, levels sometimes can be used externally and printed on business cards. For example, a Level 2 Full Professorship is right below academicians and definitely worth bragging about. However, it will be weird if professors in lower ranks advertise their levels. Who cares an assistant professor is level 8, level 9, or level 10? The rank is what really matters. For the pubbies community, there are four ranks: member, community member, staff, and head staff. This resembles the real civilian world scenario that there is no need to introduce more ranks than needed. Otherwise, it will be hard for people to memorize and instantly see their differences. For example, military ranks are many, but how many people can tell major and captain, which rank is higher? Instead, the use of multiple levels within a certain rank is appropriate and efficient for internal promotions and salary raises. ...  Read more

Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 32GB Flash Drive

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  80

Are you tired of waiting for a very long time to back up your data? Well, the Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3 32GB flash drive is the flash drive you should buy. This flash drive is very efficient and fast. After all, this flash drive does feature a sliding cap design. In my opinion, this design is very efficient because it keeps the whole flash drive together, instead of having it with a flash drive and a cap. Also, it is very quick. I have seen my brother back up his data a lot faster than before when using his older flash drives. All in all, this flash drive is something to consider buying. ...  Read more

Issuance of a Virtual Currency - Pubby Cash

Categories: Tech | Pubby Cash Received:  60

Pubby Cash is a virtual currency that is issued, managed, and controlled by GoPubby.com. Like other virtual currencies, Pubby Cash relies on a system of trust and is not issued by a banking regulatory authority. It derives its value based on a underlying mechanism: appreciation of article creation work by the fellow pubbies and appreciation of the moderation work loads by the moderators during the article publication processes. It is also backed by the underlying asset - the supreme quality of each article that is published on GoPubby.com and gains a number of likes. Pubby Cash can be used in circulation among the members of the online pubbies community who transact online for supporting the author of an article, for peer-to-peer payments, and for the purchase of virtual goods and services. I have several recommendations for the admin team to consider regarding the promotion of Pubby Cash : Ways of Gaining Pubby Cash : 1. Absolutely writing. As long as pubbies write, they should be awarded certain amount of Pubby Cash for appreciation of their devoted work and time. We could set up a base salary, say 40 weekly, as long as they are active and publish at least one article in a week. The base salary commensurate with experience. For pubbies in higher rank, it should be higher. 2. Gaining likes. Writing is not a the sole purpose. We need to award pubbies who write high-quality and in-depth articles. Undoubtedly, such articles will gain a number of likes and extra Pubby Cash should be given correspondingly as a bonus in addition to the base salary to those pubbies. 3. Helping moderation. Moderation as a moderator is a volunteering work for the pubbies' community. For pubbies who work temporarily as moderators should be awarded with extra Pubby Cash for compensation of their extra work and time devoted to maintaining the online community. 4. Peer-to-peer transfer. Other pubbies can transfer their Pubby Cash to you to show their support on one of your articles, or simply transfer to you for the online goods and services you could offer. 5. Exchange with real currency. If a pubby would like to support the running and growth of the website by donating real money, the website should respond with giving back the Pubby Cash at a fixed exchange ratio (say $1 USD = 100 Pubby Cash) as a sort of appreciation. Note that, this is economics as it comes to currency issues and is quite complicated. There should be no other uncontrollable means of gaining the Pubby Cash . Otherwise, inflation will occur for sure and the issuance of the currency will fail in the end. The value of Pubby Cash definitely lies in a fact that it can be used...  Read more

Do you think that headphones are too large, and the earbuds are too uncomfortable? Well, the Air Pods Pro is small, efficient, and comfortable to use. The Air Pods Pro are wireless earbuds that are made by Apple. These earbuds are very small and do not take up much space. They come in a case so they are a lot more organized too. Furthermore, they are very efficient. This is because they are waterproof and use Bluetooth to connect to your device. Finally, they provide ultra comfort.
