Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations

Top answers from some of our sessions.
The goal of blockchain is to mobilise digital currencies. The link with energy supply is a far-fetched but not very much insignificant link. The structure of blockchain should be similar to that of internet communication (fluidity of data flux). Blockchain technology will be influenced more by economic transactions between energy suppliers and consumers in the energy sector. The blockchain technology issue is narrowed down to purchasing ability and mobility. Whether the energy is renewable or not, the question becomes relevant if "cryptos" are used to pay. Many countries already use the P-2-P transaction, which allows traditional currencies, bank cards, and crypto vendor platforms to be purchased (such as Binance without any publicity). When considering this question in terms of mining these coins, the CPU units, According to the Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, one bitcoin transaction consumes 1,449 kWh, or roughly 50 days of power for the average US household. Many African businesses consume more energy than this over the course of 50 days. As a result, it has no bearing on Africa's energy sustainability. Africa's most pressing issue is how to manage the energy it generates (how the laws work and how much people can buy).
I hope I've quenched your thirst.By the way, how many countries are to adopt a currency which doesn't satisfy the basis laws of currency credibility?

Excellent question John. In project management, there is something called management reserves, this is used to handle unknown risks. Management principles will always imbibe management reserves in solving unknown risk.The use of analogous estimating, which is historical knowledge is also another way of solving unknown problems.

My biggest advice to women starting out their careers in tech is to be confident. Often times, I feel that women are discouraged from pursuing highly technical careers because of male dominance or the lack of confidence in their ability to make it happen. One thing that I've realized is that men are not better at women inherently at programming. Removing humility for a moment, I'm probably better than the majority of men in my program at software development. This is because of the confidence that my family and mentors have instilled in me along the way that has allowed me to push through the difficult situations, including failing classes, internship/scholarship/fellowship rejections, and the general abuse that is almost unavoidable as a woman in this field, while developing my skills to a professional level.
My other big piece of advice is to understand that tech is difficult for the majority of people, and to find a community of supporters in your early days. When I first began programming academically 10 years ago, it was nothing like I had ever done before - I had a little experience with web programming and computer architecture, but let me tell you, that introductory C programming course made me cry on several occasions. I actually vowed at one point to never program again. However, I had a community of women around me in computer science and other engineering fields, and they really built me up, helping me learn the concepts in ways that made sense to me, reviewing my problem sets for bugs that I wouldn't have noticed, and giving me confidence that I probably had no business having with my skill level at the time. I wouldn't have had the balls to take some of the risks that I did without the confidence they instilled in me.;It is so important to find a community, and they do exist outside of academia. For example, baddies in tech is a community I'm part of that is provides to support, recruitment and mentorship for black women in their early tech careers.

Collaborations are a beautiful way to cut across someone else’s following or clientele. She might want to look into that, Instagram ads also work in getting attention, that will mean she has great content already to draw people in enough to make enquires and pay for her service.We often take word of mouth for granted, its still a very effective way of getting clients and its best when its from a client who has tried your product or paid for your services. Always offer get service so your customers can be your town criers. You can ask they please put in word for you in their circles as well.

Hmmm, I think most people have been in contact with tech already, they just might not think much about it. Most people in these academic institutions have smartphones and access to the internet. That's a valuable tool at their disposal.
While some of them are taking advantage of this opportunity like Emmanuel Njoku [https://techcabal.com/2022/02/24/meet-the-19-year-old-nigerian-building-his-own-blockchain-empire/], others aren't or aren't privileged to have access to this.
Fortunately, different organisations and agencies have different initiatives targeted at exposing young people to tech. We share some of them in our daily newsletter [https://techcabal.com/category/tc-daily/]
Also, at TechCabal, we're definitely looking forward to working with schools and communities to tell them more about tech. We even have a newsletter focused on people interested in entering tech coming up soon.
I think the younger generation is privileged to have more resources at their disposal and will do greater than this generation. Technological advancements tend to get better as time goes by. All is well.

I must start by appreciating the starting process, to by pass that, it means you made it already. First, not being a Business incline is not an issue. You only need to be directed on how a Business should run and how you can leverage your energy on growing your business. Which you can contact an expect for direction ... contact consultingnest@gmail.com and get leadings and directions. Building your brand, is not something you can achieve over night it takes time, consistency, and patience. You equally need a lot of Mentoring on that. You can reachout to me directly so we can go from there.I can assure you, you are doing good already for just the fact that you started.Reachout lets talk more.

I think that success is subjective. While it may seem that I've had a straightforward, uncomplicated trajectory to where I am now and that I've already made it, the journey has not been that simple, and I honestly haven't accomplished the majority of my goals in life. Up to this point I've often gone with the flow in choosing my experiences and prioritized doing things that I feel will be beneficial to others, particularly those in my community. This remains one of my guiding principles today.In terms of the ups and downs, I've had low points in my academic career while having wonderful moments in my personal life, the reverse, and periods where everything felt like it was going great or horrible. University at every level is an emotional experience. As I've grown up and reflected on the past, some things that I would consider extremely low moments may just have been inflated by my perception of the situation, being so young, and not having any long-term experiences in a non-academic setting. As I've grown older and been placed in many more serious personal and professional situations, I've realized that it's not the difficult moment itself that is challenging, but the process of dealing with it, moving forward, and maintaining mental resilience through it all. Our life is the creation of our mind. If I could give any advice to my younger self, it would be to protect the thoughts and energy I let into my mind, and prioritize taking care of myself in the present, no matter how focused I am on the future.

I'm not sure I entirely understand your question, but I think you're asking if there are some apps that you should not use in marketing. I think snapchat is a very useful tool, especially when you are trying to reach the younger demographic, understanding that the app is made for you to share short, memorable and effective messaging that people can get in the first few seconds. If Snapchat didn't have an effective model, then the likes of Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn would not have incorporated stories. However, because there is such a huge crossover in terms of people using multiple platforms now, it's probably best to focus on the ones that will yield you the best results depending on what your objectives are.

Hi Cyrus, I'm unable to talk much about my work at Apple but I am currently developing new ways to leverage Responsible AI methodologies in health sensing applications. At Microsoft Research, I developed domain-specific computational models for bacterial quorum sensing which is how bacteria communicate with each other.I would say that the current state of AI is pretty advanced with regards to the specific techniques but many of these implementations are not production-level ready or haven't been tested in real-life clinical settings to actually be of any use. Yes, what you described is possible but there still remain many issues with bias in these and other types of applications.
