This Entrepreneur Is Using The Metaverse to Create an Immersive Lesbian Bar

Image
Elena Rosa is a Los Angeles-based artist who wanted to create a lesbian story world where people of all genders, sexualities and identities could learn about lesbian bar history. She drew from photographs, writings and interviews with former bar patrons and bar owners to bring L-BAR to life. Rosa sat down with Jessica Abo to talk about her interactive online bar and salon, and her advice for anyone trying to create a sacred experience. Jessica Abo: You've spent years working as an actor and artist and say you're really passionate about creating different worlds. What is it about creating environments that lights you up? I love building environments. I like thinking about our architecture and how that frames our identity. I have a particular fascination with Byzantine churches, the way the masses can walk into this dome, this heaven on earth and everyone has one focal point. Straight ahead is the focal. It's one truth, one belief. And if you look to th...

Image

Jessica Abo: Nate, tell us a little bit about Space and Time. Space and Time is a decentralized data warehouse. If you think about data warehouses, it's where businesses are processing data in order to better interact with their consumers on a regular basis.

This Entrepreneur Created an Index to Help You Measure The True Value of The Real Estate Market

Image
Jason Hartman is the CEO of Empowered Investor . He sat down with Jessica Abo to discuss an index he developed to help people better understand the real estate market. Jessica Abo: Tell us a little bit about Empowered Investor. Back in 2003, I tried to become a nationwide real estate investor. It was very difficult without assistance, and I thought, there are probably many other people who would want to invest nationwide as I did, and they would probably want some help. So I created my company and became the first customer. What is The Hartman Comparison Index and what problem were you trying to solve when you created it? So many people have blind spots because they compare, say the price of real estate, to only one thing, and that one thing — what is it? Of course, it's the U.S. dollar, and that is a faulty comparison because the U.S. dollar — as we all know with inflation running out of control right now — is a moving target. So why not compare the price of real estate to ma...

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
