BRN Discussion Ongoing

Find it strange they aren't paid in Pounds.

SC

Maybe it's USD?

Given it's remote work the applicant could be from anywhere and then they have the USD conversion to their own currency which may or may not be favourable.

The applicant can always submit a higher rate too I suspect.

It does appear to be remote work, but it says explicitly that only freelancers located in the UK may apply for this job. Possibly because the nature of the job requires a background check and security clearance?

To find out more, I checked out the Upwork website, which says they are “the world's largest online workplace where savvy businesses hire freelancers & remote teams.”


https://www.upwork.com/i/how-it-works/client/

So not only is the hourly rate stated definitely in US$, but the actual payment via Upwork will also be in US$, which is indeed a problem for freelancers located outside the US (like in our case), as they will be charged a fee for currency conversion by their bank or PayPal on top of the 10 % freelancer service fee on their earnings.

US$25 - US$30 roughly equals £19.50 - £23.50 at today’s exchange rate.

My God, is that all they get $25-$30 per hour.
I get that as a Cleaner, cleaning toilets (with holiday pay and Super+ all the other extras)
and believe me, I don't need a Master's degree either.

Hi sb182,
a couple of people commented on this when FMF first posted the job ad.

But according to our resident Pom Down Under, the advertised job doesn’t seem to be shockingly underpaid:

I suppose since this is a remote job and applicants thus may not have to pay high London rental prices (as they could be located anywhere within the UK), this might still be an attractive hourly rate for some freelancers, although it does appear pretty low compared to what others in the IT industry would charge.
However, they will need to factor in that they also have to deduct the 10 % freelancer service fee on their earnings plus a currency conversion fee from US$ to £. Moreover, I am not sure whether this Big Brother surveillance thing (counting of keystrokes and taking of random screenshots) is common practice or may deter prospective applicants.

I also wonder whether or not interested freelancers would try to circumnavigate Upwork as a fee-charging agency and attempt to find out themselves who the mystery employer is, now that Upwork has provided further crucial clues (> aerospace industry & company size).

Geeze wilzy, even your fancy blow-up will be able to drive when akida is on all the sensors.

It's honestly embarrassing (for you) that you felt the need to comment.

You then have Dreadbot delete one of my posts, from a couple of days ago, so I laugh at you privately

It's going from no credibility... to even worse now I'm afraid, if you think I was responsible for one of your posts being removed ROFL.

What I revealed is basically all anyone needs to see the real story.

It's 2024, not 1980. Embarrassing.

 

[Bravo]

Socionext! Thanks for posting @Stable Genius!

You can even get a free ticket to Embedded World with the code they show on the video at 1.15 mins! That’s a bargain!

Can one of our German friends please attend this to see if anything is revealed?

Oh gee, you win Wilzy, my credibility is shot.

I will hide away in the corner somewhere and lick my wounds.

Tata Elxsi - BT MindRush 2024: Multi-sector panel underscores Indian economy’s bright spots and competitive edge

I read the comment as being pro women. Meaning it was disrespectful to women on international women's day that the best MB could celebrate was a women could drive the (AKIDA) car. ?

I read it that way too, plus dingo went on to explain.

The value investor’s guide to AI​

Story by Sara Allen

...

“The picks and shovels are the semiconductor and cloud companies developing the hardware that powers AI functionality. Often in the early stages of a gold rush, it is the suppliers of the picks and shovels rather than the gold miners that make the most profit.

The enablers are the software companies that are developing AI functionality into their products. The key to success here is owning unique datasets that can be manipulated to deliver genuine benefits for their customers.

The adopters are companies in traditional industries that can harness the power of AI to improve their competitive advantage. Sectors like healthcare, finance, and professional services such as lawyers have significant opportunities to improve efficiency and increase revenue,” he says.

Fang’s top pick from The Magnificent Seven is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), arguing that the market underestimates its AI potential. It has an unrivalled fulfilment, the broadest cloud footprint of any business and is trading on decent multiples.

Mclean agrees that there are still high-quality prospects in The Magnificent Seven, but some are starting to see their competitive advantage fade, like Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), which is trading on a similar multiple, is a different story.

“Nvidia has a near monopoly, a huge technology lead over their competitors and a rapidly growing industry. Nvidia’s GPU margins are rising fast as supply struggles to meet demand leading to rising margins and returns,” he says.
...

AI on the ASX​

While Australia is not necessarily known for a large tech industry, that’s not to say you can’t find AI opportunities on the ASX.

Mclean points to Goodman Group (ASX: GMG) and Pro Medicus (ASX: PME) as potential AI plays.

“[Goodman Group] have quietly amassed a huge development pipeline of data centres. It now has over 3GW of data centre capacity in key tier 1 markets,” he says.

Imaging software leader Pro Medicus is currently going through approvals for an AI algorithm to interpret diagnostic images – “as approvals are granted, Pro Medicus’ solution could become the platform for third-party AI companies.”

BrainChip, is like a sleeping elephant.

You can do anything you like around a sleeping elephant, but when it awakens..

It tramples everything!

You have to question, how they could miss the only pure A.I. play, on the ASX..

@wilzy123 and @DingoBorat message all these wonderful posts to each other on the private chat (message) as much as some may need team back up, my guess is you'll get bored quickly without an audience?
