Why I Chose the Tesla Model 3
By: Patrick Lee
Tags: Tesla Model 3, Cost, Tesla, Cars

Base cost

First off, let’s go over the overall cost. Now there are already a lot of Youtube videos out there talking about the total cost for buying a Tesla, but since this is one big factor in why I chose to buy a Tesla, I had to include it. We bought the car in May 2019, so the prices and options are slightly different. Back when we ordered the car, we had quite a few options. We could choose Standard Range, Standard Range Plus, Long Range RWD, Long Range AWD, Performance. Full Self Driving was available at the time for $5,000 USD. I will cover the new prices later, but since this is an overview of why I chose the Model 3, I will use the prices for when I bought the car.

At the time, Standard Range cost $35,000, Standard Range Plus cost $37,500, Long Range RWD cost $44,500, Long Range AWD cost $48,500, and Performance cost $59,500. Now we knew that electric cars were all about range, so we were debating between Long Range RWD and Standard Range Plus. Interestingly, two days before we actually placed the order, Tesla changed the pricing and options. Now, they increased the price of the Standard Range Plus by $2,000 and Long Range AWD by $1,000, added Autopilot as standard, and removed Standard Range and Long Range RWD (you could still call in to order these, but you would have to pay an extra $3,000 to get Autopilot, at which point it didn’t make sense). Now our options were between Standard Range Plus and Long Range AWD. We didn’t need AWD and that cost more, so that was out of the picture. So, we settled on Standard Range Plus.

Despite Tesla having very few options to pick from, we weren’t done. Now that we picked the car, we still needed to pick the interior and exterior color as well as whether or not we want FSD. We decided that the black color was too dark at night and made the car look too small, so we paid an extra $1,500 for White exterior (now free) and that was it. We didn’t think FSD was worth it even though we knew that Elon Musk said that the price would keep increasing, and we didn’t want the white interior. So that brings our total cost to $41,000. Add on all taxes and fees, and the total cost was $46,643.50. This covered documentation fee, destination fee, taxes and registration.

So, $46,643.50. That sounds way more than the original $35,000 that Elon Musk advertised for the cheapest Model 3. That’s also paying a lot for new tech even though I said I don’t like paying for new tech. So why did we still go for it? We aren’t done calculating the overall cost just yet.

2020 Chevrolet Corvette
Tags: Auto, Chevrolet, Cars

The 2020 Corvette Stingray is different than those that came before it. Moving the engine to the middle of the car has not only taken its performance to new heights, but the sports car’s image has been catapulted from mouth-breathing, tire-smoking semi–muscle car to supercar disrupter in a single bound. It good enough to reclaim California from the grip of the imported sports car, and if you’re under 40, for the first time in your life, the Corvette isn’t an old man’s car.

All this mid-engine goodness starts at just $59,995. And what you get is a V-8 supercar that costs less than a base 718 Boxster. Corvettes have always aced value and performance tests, but moving the engine has created a different sort of Stingray. Now there’s an American sports car set up to send more than a few Porschephiles into Chevy stores, a Corvette that’s ready to retake the Coast.
Barcelona renews contract for 2021, plans to stay until at least 2025
By: Luciano Calamante
Tags: Motorsport, Spain, Cars, Formula 1, Racing

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is ready to renew its Formula 1 contract for 2021, and a negotiation of a contract until at least 2025 will start as soon as Domenicali assumes as Formula One’s new Chief Executive Officer.

“During the Grand Prix, we met with Chase Carey to establish the first contract and start working on the renewal. We let them know the modifications we wanted. In principle, the renewal will be for one year because Carey wanted long-term negotiations to continue with his successor, Stefano Domenicali,” said the circuit’s general manager José Luis Santamaría.

The new contract does not include a clause of “COVID-19”; that is if the race should be held behind closed doors, the conditions of the contract should be re-negotiated. “(…) As for the COVID clause, we wanted to negotiate it now, but Formula 1 wants a normal 2021 season and does not want to introduce any clause.”

Santamaría wants the Grand Prix with the public. With the return of Alonso and the presence of Sainz at Ferrari, he feels there could be a record in the number of spectators. But, of course, this is directly impacted by the pandemic.
4 Reasons To Buy A Car From A Dealership
By: Thames Cars
Tags: Car Buying Tips, Car Buying, Cars, Finance

There are a couple of popular options when it comes to buying a used car. Some opt in for private sellers, whereas others look for a more trusted option of buying it from a dealership. Below you can learn 4 reasons why you should choose a dealership when buying a used car or vehicles.

Large Selection

A car dealership has a variety of vehicles that will meet your needs. Whether you are looking for a large family car or just a 2 seater for you and your pet, a dealership is likely to tick both boxes. If you are a person who always feels cold, you can choose the option of heated seats or if you enjoy a cool breeze even when it’s -3 degrees outside then an air con system might be the perfect choice for you. Whatever your preference is, your dealership will have it! Check out www.thamescars.net for a great variety of options.

Trustworthy

I don’t think I even have to say this but this is the most important thing when it comes to investing a large amount of money on a vehicle; peace of mind! Buying a car from a private seller is risky business as you don’t want to end up with a car that has a lot of problems. You can avoid all the hassle by simply asking the right questions to the people who know how to answer them and if that doesn’t satisfy you, then you can even take it for a test drive.

Finance Options

Another reason to opt for a dealership is they are most likely able to offer you finance on a vehicle that you like but can’t afford immediately, given that your credit history is all clear. A finance will give you the option to own a new vehicle without having to break the bank so it is very important to keep this option open. A couple of websites that offer finance are www.cazoo.co.uk and www.confused.com

Quality

When you buy a car, you’re not only trying to get a vehicle that takes you from A to B. You’re also investing your money on a car that looks good, holds extra features and genuinely satisfies you. When investing a large sum of money, it’s essential that you get what you paid for. A dealership can offer you exactly that and if anything were to happen you would have warranty from the company. You would also get excellent backup if you need to get anything legal involved.

Do Scars Heal?
Tags: Self Harm, Self Love Courage, Depression, Scars, Self Love

Do Scars Heal?

The pale flawless human skin, no matter what shade it is, holds scars, some won in the battles some lost from shame. Like a canvas the skin narrates tales of bravery and sorrow, fear and pain, carved deep within.

Some are held as a sign of pride some hidden beneath the sleeves. Which ones do you hold?

Isn't it surprising how one moment of sheer satisfaction can leave a lifetime of tales. Have you ever wished that they just disappeared? But do they heal? Or do they bleed over and over again making you travel through time against all the laws of science and just relive the same moment, Would you still dare to paint yourself?

But at the end of the day those engraved stories and sketched scars aren't they the ones that show us how we've grown? Maybe if they healed you wouldn't give it a second thought before getting back to it, maybe that is the tale they tell, maybe all of them are really battle scars, the only difference is some our won on the fields and some in our minds.
Best Car Maintenance Tips 2020
By: Ocd Cars
Tags: Cars

It is one thing to buy a car and quite another to diligently maintain a well-oiled machine.

There is more to the world of car maintenance than sticking to servicing intervals, regular

washes and keeping your car dust-free. And the reasons for taking care of your car is not

just to maintain its good looks from the outside. Driving can turn risky at times and in case of

an untoward incident, you should be sitting in a safe car. A well-maintained car is a safe car.

Also, in case you want to sell your car off, it pays to keep your car in top condition.

Here are some maintenance tips for your car in the coming year.

Clean your car

Not just to maintain its good looks. Cleaning a car sounds like a normal thing. But it has

deeper benefits than just meets the eye! Literally. If you drive in areas which experience

bitter cold or where it rains heavily, keeping your car clean helps in preventing damage to

the brakes or exhaust pipes from muddy water. Even in the summer, it is best to rinse your

car from outside and inside at least twice a week. Regular washing will keep your car-paint

from damage caused by bird droppings. Clean the interiors of your car regularly, for reasons

of hygiene and aesthetics.

Protect your car’s paint with paint sealant treatment

It is one of the first steps in car maintenance to protect your car paint through regular

maintenance and paint sealant treatment. Paint sealants help in protecting your car-paint

from UV damages, rust and oxidation and bird droppings. OCDaboutcars offer a range of

customised maintenance packages that are suitable for the type of paint protection your car

has. We suggest a monthly visit to your garage — this will help keep your car in brand new

condition for a long time.

Wax and wash

If you have treated your car exteriors to a paint sealant treatment to protect the paint, then a

wash and wax is recommended once a month.

Engine upkeep is a must

The engine is the heart of your car. Ensure it runs in top condition by keeping a close watch

on its efficiency. A rise in fuel consumption indicate a damaged engine. Check with your

servicing crew or our car maintenance experts at OCDaboutcars to keep the engine fit and

functional.

Ensure that you change the engine oil regularly and also keep a close check on the cooling

system. Make sure that the ratio of coolant to distilled water is 1:1.

Maintain your interiors, wind shield and wipers

If you go an interior cleaning package from a garage, make sure it includes the cleaning of

seats, centre console, dashboard, steering wheel, door panels, AC vents, washing of floor

mats, etc. It is equally important to maintain wind shield and wipers.

If you want a new car every day, get your car maintenance done by car professionals like

OCDaboutcars, who have enough experience and knowledge and above all passion, for

cars.

To Starla the Car-la!
By: Dr. Rachel Kallemwhitman
Tags: Memories, Cars, Independence, Life Lessons, Coming Of Age

It’s the end of an era. Today I said goodbye to my 1998 Lexus, Starla the Car-la. Starla was more than a car. She was more than cream colored leather seats marred by rubbed off denim. She was more than the perplexing thumping hum that serenaded you while you drove that left mechanics shrugging. She was my first taste of independence.

Starla was a gift from my Great Aunt Molly who in her old age decided she should no longer drive to temple. Choosing instead to worship G-d by throwing tiles playing rowdy games of Jewish mahjongg. Great Aunt Molly bequeathed me a center console full of klezmer cassette tapes and hard candy so to make her my own I hung a silver disco ball from the rear view mirror.

Finally I could go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted — especially after I learned how to drive. It took a few years before I was comfortable driving on the highway and I still get nervous driving in the snow and lord knows to this day I can’t parallel park, but Starla gave me wheels, helped me build my confidence, and empowered me to go places on my own. To take long drives with the sun roof open blasting terrible Dave Matthews Band lyrics, to order M&M McFlurries from the drive through instead of having to convince a friend with a car that McFlurries are excellent treats even in bone chilling Pittsburgh winters, and to try and wedge her into too tight parking spots in the South Side so I could go dancing all night and worry about the scuffs later. We sure did have some good times.

Starla the Car-la was a champagne colored class act who purred like a kitten. She was a reliable chariot even when the check engine light blinked (our mechanic assured us it was just broken). And she was royally scratched the fuck up after so many years of, “I thought I could fit”.

But she was mine.

And I will miss her.
Transform The Look of Your Car With These Cheap Mods!
By: Daniel Kouznetsov
Tags: Modification, Tuning, Cars, Automobile, Car Parts

Whether you have just bought your first car, looking to modify your vehicle for the first time, or just want to change the aesthetics of the car on a tight budget, you’ve come to the right place! Modifying a vehicle can get very addicting and very, very expensive once you start looking into thorough performance modifications. Everyone has to start somewhere, and I definitely wouldn’t suggest starting with the expensive performance modifications. Start with some cheap car mods, and work your way up!

The journey will be a delightful and enjoyable one. Better yet, you will learn so much and have a great understanding of your vehicle, so when the time does come for those expensive performance modifications, such as ECU tuning, you will have full confidence in knowing what to do, how to do it, and the beneficial outcome. Because as a car enthusiast, there is no better feeling than modifying your own vehicle yourself and seeing the transformation unfold right in front of you. It’s one of the greatest satisfactions a car enthusiast will feel!

Now that you’re itching to get started with modifying your vehicle, let’s get started. Below I list the top cheap car mods to do to your vehicle. Remember, these are ‘cheap car mods’ so they won’t be a huge transformation, but ones that will definitely personalize your vehicle and still give you satisfaction in the process.

**Just so you know, there are some affiliate links in this post that I may receive a commission from. Thank you if you use my links, as it will help me greatly and I’d really appreciate it!**

Socket Sets

Price Range: $10 — $150

Although not really a modification, I thought I’d include socket sets into this list as it is an important tool to have with you regardless. It opens up a lot of doors into what can be done with a socket set. Often some modificaations only require removing something from the vehicle that may be, for example, reducing performance or exhaust sound from your vehicle, and all that’s needed to remove or adjust a part, is a socket set!

If you don’t already have a socket set lying around in the garage, we recommend the ‘ 69-Piece EPAuto Socket Set’. It contains all the sizes you will ever need including both metric and English sizes. There are also plenty of extensions included and all the parts are corrosion-resistant so you can trust the socket set will last you for decades!

However, if you aren’t sure how extensive your modifications will be, and are after something a little cheaper, yet still high quality, then try the ‘Dewalt Drive Socket Set’. It’s a lot simpler and smaller, so you can carry it anywhere, and it still contains all the necessary tools. The box comes with interlocking options, so if you decide you want to upgrade or update later, simply just purchase the add-on packages and interlock the boxes. Speaking of the boxes, they’re actually shatter-prove too! The Dewalt Socket Set also comes with a lifetime warranty, for that extra peace of mind.

Oh My Scar!
By: Cecilia Ihrivbogbe
Tags: Life Lessons, Jesus, Life, Scars

Someone asked me, do scars heal? I smiled and replied Yes and No.

I’ll explain.

I have two scars on my left leg. One I’ve had for over 12 years and the other I only sustained last year.

The scar I’ve had the longest is small. Almost unnoticeable, however, when I sustained the injury, it was a really deep cut which is why the mark remains.

Whereas, the one I sustained last year was once a very wide and ugly scar. But do you know the irony, this latest scar is the one that faded faster. Why? Because it wasn’t as deep as the previous one. Yes, widespread but it was only on the surface.

My point? A scar may heal depending on the depth of damage it caused.

But either way, whether the scar heals or remains isn’t the real issue. The question is if you’re willing to look past the damage even if it remains. Are you?

How does a scar heal?

1. Time. With time if you’re willing to look past the dent you would soon forget it was ever there in the first place.

2. Positive confessions. Profess what you would rather see than what you’re currently seeing. A scar doesn’t show on the dead. It shows in living. It’s just best to look past the hurt because obviously, you’ve already survived it.

3. Let God help you. Trust me, God can help you heal. Please speak to him!

Let me be frank, some scars may never away. But surviving the injury that begot the scar isn’t the last stage of victory, but looking past it whether or not it remains also is.

There’s radiance grafted in every chaos my friend, so your scar may remain but remember, the pain has ended.

How is the automotive value chain ‘stacking up’?
By: Ben Davies
Tags: Technology, Cars, Automotive, Future, Disruption

Exponential growth in technology is impacting the Automotive industry.

What do we mean by ‘exponential growth in technology’?

Three exponential laws:

Moore’s law: Every 18 months, your computer will have twice as much power to process information.

Every 18 months, your computer will have twice as much power to Butters’ law: The amount of data communicated through a single optical fiber doubles every nine months.

The amount of through a single optical fiber doubles every nine months. Kryder’s law: The amount of data stored per centimeter square of a hard drive will double every 16 or 17 months.

Click here to check out some visual references of these laws.

What does this mean for the automotive industry?

More than 40% of a vehicle’s architecture is now electronics, featuring over 100 million lines of code. This is set to rise to 300 million by 2030. Cars in the 1980s had only 50K lines of code which gives you an indication of how times are changing.

As technology has developed and large incumbent organizations have failed to adapt, new market players have been able to enter and disrupt industries such as automotive with new consumer offerings.

Traditional value chains and vertical integration:

Value chains are the organisation of entities in a market that create and deliver value to consumers.

Typically, automotive competitors have aimed towards vertically integrating their value chains.

Vertical integration is a strategy where a company:

Owns or controls its suppliers, distributors or retail locations to control its value creation and delivery across multiple steps in the supply chain.

across multiple steps in the supply chain. In the past, vertical integration has allowed companies to control processes and drive down costs in predictable market situations.

market situations. Example: Hyundai is an organisation with a typically vertically integrated or closed value chain, owning or controlling parts of their end-to-end chain.

Simplified example of an automotive value chain:

[Image below] Players in a traditional value chain and digital-first entrants that are making an impact.

‘Stacking’ of the value chain:

Technology is enabling deconstruction of the traditional automotive value chain into a stack structure.

Digital-first companies have the ability to offer new, high-tech products and services across the value chain faster than traditional OEM’s.

What might a stack based value chain look like?

The world is moving towards sustainable power sources. These announcements and initiatives have come from all over the world. With China looking to become carbon neutral by 2060 and California planning on banning gas-powered vehicles by 2025, it’s going to be interesting to see how major players in the world of business will adapt to these new trends.

For Porsche’s flagship vehicle the 911, not much will change according to Oliver Blume (CEO of the company). Porsche has been a top leader in car innovation and development since the company’s founding almost 100 years ago. For many, Porsche arguably makes the best cars on the entire planet.

There’s a lot of history and die-hard fans of Porsche and more specifically, the 911. Mr. Blume had this to say: “The 911 is a concept of the car that is prepared for the combustion engine. It’s not useful to combine it with pure electric mobility. We believe in purpose-designed cars for electric mobility.”

With Porsche’s release of the new electric Taycan, it’s not that they are completely against the idea of electric but to them, it is wiser for this to be done on a vehicle-to-vehicle basis rather than a big change across the entire line of Porsche cars. Do you want to see an electric 911 or do you think this is one that should stick to buzzing and humming, combustion style?

Tips for removing car odours
Tags: Air, Breathing, Clean, Cars, Odour Control

I suggest you to use Air purify for removing odors in car. It is worth buying an Air Purifier because it helps you improve the air quality in your surroundings. It purifies the air by absorbing the Odors, Mold, Mildew, and Excessive Moisture.

This old home remedy is like natural toxin absorber. Therefore, it’s no wonder that the same thing used in water filters can also filter your air. All you have to do is leave a bag of charcoal bag in your car for overnight. Activated charcoal is extremely porous and absorbs anything floating around in the air.

It not only purifies the air but it also helps in removing a big list of different things in air like…

Fresh Bamboo Charcoal Air Purifier helps to remove:

· Mold

· Mildew

· Moisture

· Odors

· Bacteria

· Harmful Pollutants

· Allergens

Charcoal’s manufacture makes it extremely absorbent, allowing it to bind to molecules, ions, and atoms. In this way, it helps to remove these from dissolved substances.

As it is super absorbent, it can assimilate all the contaminations, poisons, and allergens that cause odour. It’s a natural product that’s also budget-friendly compared with other air purifying materials and machines.

The bags are made by linen, which itself is a highly porous fabric. So the air passes through it, and then through the bamboo charcoal it contains.

Activated charcoal is a mesh form of carbon and has a wide array of uses. Other than a typical smell remover in aquarium channels, activated charcoal is also an oral treatment for various poisons. Furthermore, activated charcoal will ingest undesirable odours in the air without using harmful and potentially dangerous chemicals.

FAILED: DON8 App
By: Aşkın Kadir Çekim
Tags: Hackathons, Startup

Hello there, I’m starting a series called “FAILED”. I will add my fail projects to this series and describe what we did, why we failed etc.

DON8 Application

Project Info

The first project is DON8. App’s name is DON8 which means “donate”. It is a non-profit platform based on food and drinks purchases. Basically, It provides donating to people in need automatically from foods and drinks purchased.

So how people donate? Actually, there are discounted products in-app. Restaurants add their discounted products and DON8 shows their location and restaurant information on the home page. So the app promotes its discounted products. But half or specified percentage of discount is not valid for users to use that on charities.

So people eat with less money, restaurants are promoted.

Why Failed?

Let’s talk about why we failed. Isn’t that a great project?

Dead Teamwork

We were 4. But just 2 of us worked. I worked on the prototype development of the application and built the application. Another one is worked on presentations, texts, and other stuff. I also helped with them.

But the other 2 of us were passive. So are they faulty? No, I was faulty. As a project manager and developer of the project, I should have chosen team members correctly, distribute tasks to members right.

Presentation was BOOOOOOORIIING

Video Pitch

We made the intro pitch in like 2 hours. So we hadn’t so much time. But definitely, it was enough for a hackathon.

We presented “What is DON8?”, “How does it work?”, and pages titles. There was a lot of text. My talk was slow. 0 images.

I used acceleration for presenting a functional application at the last min. I realized we’re not accelerating. We’re compressing all that unnecessary information to the last minute. And that compressed memories are bombing people’s minds. I should have deleted that unnecessary stuff to decrease duration but not compressing all stuff.

Manipulating Votes

We manipulated votes. How we did that? Were we cheaters? Well, we sent the devpost link to our friends to request likes right after we finished the project. But likes aren’t important. The important thing is the votes. So other projects saw we have so many likes.

So they did the same thing. But they did that 5 hours before the winners announced. They got 56 votes and 53 likes :D IN 5 HOURS!!!!

And last and painful fact: Idea was terrible

Nobody wouldn’t download the app for a 1$ discount and restaurants wouldn’t want to give a discount for promoting their place.

Also, if we really started the project and try to turn it into a real project, we should have had money to advertise the application. Because no user means no restaurants, also no restaurants mean no user.

My First Hackathon: The Project

Onboarding flow: building the profile

Two weekends ago I did a hackathon through UX result with a few friends from my Flatiron design bootcamp. If you’re not familiar with hackathons they are basically events where you are working in teams to solve some sort of prompted problem over a given period of time. They can be coding hackathons, design hackathons, etc that occur over a certain period of time.

We chose the challenge of creating the onboarding flow for a smart dog collar, Bark (not a real product although there are a lot of smart dog collars out there). This collar is focusing on millennial dog owners living in urban environments, mainly helping dog owners have GPS tracking and health tracking features for their pup.

It was a really fun 10ish hours we spent looking at competitors, sketching ideas, wireframing, style guide-ing, and testing our concepts! We focused on making it fun, easy, gender-neutral, and taking abilities into consideration. We didn’t win but it was a great experience and a chance to flex our design muscles again in a really short amount of time.

3rd Place Winner: COyou 🌱

Team: Ben Henaghan, Serena Huang, Napat Karnsakultorn

Check out their project here!

Food production contributes to a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions produced, with varying environmental impacts depending on the particular type of food. COyou is an Android application that seamlessly reveals the carbon footprints of restaurant menu items, allowing diners to make more informed decisions about their meals.

Using Google Firebase and Google Cloud’s Natural Language API, this environmentally-conscious app recognizes menu items, maps them into individual ingredients, and retrieves their CO2 emissions from the USDA Food Central’s database. The user can view the total carbon footprint and environmental impact of the dish, as well as the make-up of core ingredients used.

UX hackathon: the problem & the solution
By: Devin Ross
Tags: UX Design, Hackathons, UX, Design, Design Thinking

A few weeks back, a few friends from my design program and I got together to compete in a UX design hackathon. There were many different options of problems to solve, but since it was our first one we decided to attempt the problem we found to be the most fun — design an onboarding experience for an app connected to a dog’s “smartcollar”.

For the collar and app, some items we were tasked with were:

Coming up with relevant and useful features

Designing a full onboarding experience

Creating a high-fidelity prototype and wireframes

Sample of high-fi screens for Bark, our “smartcollar” mobile app

Conducting usability testing with our prototype

Branding, visual design, and a design guide

Design Guide for our smartcollar mobile app

We decided to focus on a fairly straightforward onboarding process, including a few microinteractions to add character to our solution. In an effort to be inclusive of all dogs and owners, we wanted to be sure to include onboarding information around any sort of relevant disability. For this iteration, the disability information focused on the dog, but in future iterations, we would love to include features that make dog ownership easier for owners with disabilities.

Since we only had a day to put our solution together, there were tons of features and tweaks we wanted to make that time did not allow. We would have used more consistent iconography, enhanced branding and logo design, implemented a more innovative onboarding process and expanded past the onboarding into some actual feature work. But given the few hours we had, I felt pretty proud of our team. Maybe for our second hackathon, we will even win something. 😉

Take a look at our final presentation and share some feedback!

Day 19 | Advent of Cyber 2

Santa has released a web app that lets the children of the world check whether they are currently on the naughty or nice list. Unfortunately the elf who coded it exposed more things than she thought. Can you access the list administration and ensure that every child gets a present from Santa this year? tocto Follow Dec 19, 2020 · 2 min read

Hi! this room explains SSRF (server side request forgery), I hope you enjoy it!

[Day 19] Special by Tib3rius // The Naughty or Nice List

First, we go to the web server and we see that we have a field where we can write our name to see if we are in the list and below we have an admin login:

If we put a name, we see that the url is quite complex, let’s decode to try to understand it

there are several tools on the web for this:

As we said, let’s see what the URL contains:

It seems that the web server is contacting another to pass the name.

it is probably protected against navigating to locahost but let’s test anyways:

Your search has been blocked by our security team.

Bruh, luckily, there are people in the world who are very smart like the one they teach us in the room:

If we use the URL http://list.hohoho.localtest.me , the server will not realize that we are no longer calling the expected server! In this way we can read the internal services of the machine.

Decoded URL: http://list.hohoho.localtest.me:80/

Encoded URL: http%3A%2F%2Flist.hohoho.localtest.me%3A80%2F

It works!

Check the URL used!!

What is Santa’s password?

they tell you the password in the elf’s message :)

EconHacks 2021— The largest Economics Hackathon
By: Benjamin Ian Chen
Tags: Hackathons, Economics, International, Students, Finance

Despite the ongoing pandemic, the financial sector is ever rapidly expanding with the introduction and advancements of new technological innovations, and digital forms of currency are becoming increasingly ubiquitous even in our daily lives. With the presence of online banking, the intersection of technology and economics has finally arrived. However, according to a 2014 study from the National Endowment for Financial Education, only 24% of Millennials could answer 4 out of 5 questions on a basic financial literacy test. Approximately 77 million Americans are accumulating debt in collections, according to the Urban Institute, and around a third of Americans only pay the minimum amount on their credit cards monthly, stated by a study conducted by FINRA, titled National Financial Capability. The need for citizens, especially teenagers, to be educated on finance has never been greater.

In hopes of bridging this gap, 5 teenagers started brainstorming for a hackathon to educate others about economics and technology. EconHacks, coined by lead director Benjamin Chen (TAS), is a 24 hour online hackathon being held across the world from 12 pm on February 13th, 2021 to 12 pm on February 14th, 2021. In order to make it accessible for as many students as possible, it is free for anyone to enter as long as they are in grades 8–12.

“We wanted to make sure that secondary school kids could access and learn about the uses of financial technology with no restrictions whatsoever”, said director, Ashley Pandya. The hackathon will feature lectures from world renowned professors from universities such as Stanford Business School, as well as entrepreneurs in the finance field. “Getting taught from the best can be a transformative experience for a lot of people, and we want as many people to discover their passions in the areas of economics and computer science”, said director Ishan Panchamia.

Participants will have 24 hours to create an innovative project that aims to improve an aspect of the financial sector or helps to solve a current economic problem. To promote education beyond the hackathon, Econhacks is also planning on holding biweekly lectures about different fields in economics, from behavioral economics to basic quantitative trading. “We really want to make sure that people gain access to as many resources as they can get to understand how economics works in the real world”, said director Rishabh Varshney. They already have plans to hold a second in-person hackathon in fall of 2021 with the option of internationals competing via video chat.

See you there!
