Former full Digital Nomad and current sporadic Digital Nomad here (37 countries so far).

First time I "went rogue" and left everything behind was more a rejection and "overdose" of normality. Repeating the same day over and over and little to no variation beside the name of the source code file.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I became good at it quickly enough.

> Nomadic life is hugely variable and it’s difficult to see patterns emerging.

That's his issue. The patterns are important too. You don't press the reset button everytime you move. It sucks, but a new city is just another city. A country side Airbnb is just another one, a language barrier is just another one. It removes some of the "explorator" fun, but you have to treat this as a cycle.

Another tip I learn the hard way, but early enough, was not to plan ahead. Murphy laws is part of the fun. You have to be more flexible than randomness itself. Not knowing what's ahead remove the stress about the future. The 70's punks might have been on something after all. With smartphone, you can book [planes/hotels/buses] last minute and get discounts. Not as big as planing months ahead, but enough to keep going (compared to full tourist rate).

Be yourself (for whatever that means). Don't try to follow a recipe for success or happyness. Freedom is about not following a path. That alone is the most rewarding aspect.

Also, "it's just a job" is important to accept. It's a job to and for yourself. The Nomad is your "job", not yourself. It's better to take a step back and just float above it all. If you take the Nomad thing too seriously and use it to define yourself, you are doomed.

One last thing thing that has to go is any sense of pride or ideological ideals about the whole Nomad thing. If you see it more about a meta joke about not liking normality, not knowing how to fix it, but trying nevertheless, then you will be fine.

For people not familiar with that particular flustercuck: BER is the new Berlin Brandenburg airport.

After a lot (more than 15 years!) of planning they began building in 2006.

By 2011 October, it was ready or so they thought. In 2011 November they actually ran trials with some 12 000 people.

8 May 2012 it was announced due to the failure of the fire protection system the opening is postponed. In a 2016 audit, they concluded the airport was at less than 60% readiness in reality at 2012 May.

Right now the opening is perhaps late 2020 or even 2021...

We are getting to the point where the 2016 audit should've concluded it is better to tear it down and build a new one.

> There are only a limited number of coins out there so people are going to stop mining for them as he near that limit. You can see that now with fewer people buying ASIC and similar FPGA modules.

This is true, but the effect should tend to push the price up, not down. The new coins paid to miners are essentially a "tax" on everyone else.

> The transaction fees are getting be as great as the cost of a pizza transaction

If fees are high, it means demand for transactions is high as well. High fees are evidence that people want to use Bitcoin.

> Lost coins - There are millions of wallets out there with people exploring BitCoin that has just been lost.

I don't know about "millions," but it certainly happens. When coins are lost, it increases the scarcity of Bitcoin, which would tend to make the price go up.
>No one who wanted wool for consumption was actually paying those prices, it was all wool merchants buying each other out

Kinda reminds me of Bitcoin. Or these free to play apps that force people to look at ads of other free to play apps (on an infinite time scale, only the bank^Wad platform will win that game)
I agree, 9-5 isn't a life. But traveling 24/7 isn't a life either. We travel to get to a destination. When you make traveling a constant inecessity it just kills the joy within it. Seems like more of a symbol of indifference rather than actual character growth.
At one point I was tempted to try buying a boat and becoming a sea gypsy, problem is boats are expensive holes in water that you pour more money into.

I also have the problem that my hobby-job revolves around making and tinkering with electronics, Tesla coils, radios machines etc. I would simply get bored without access to a well equipped electronics lab and mechanical workshop. So until I can afford a super yacht it is 9 - 5 for me.
Not necessarily true. Unpopular comments can turn out to be correct and important. Challenging questions that are initially unpopular can spawn interesting subthreads, and comments that are initially downvoted can end up being upvoted back into positive territory once enough of the community has had a chance to have their say.
It does run on GPUs, just only some of them.

> It would seem strange to claim that a library "runs on CPUs" but only supports Intel CPUs.

Most things would "run on CPUs" but often not run on ARM CPUs.

The key distinction is that it runs on some GPUs rather than (just) some CPUs, so it seems reasonable that they say that.

People should be able to sue. It's the only natural incentive for good practice. Otherwise there's no consequences for poor practice.

On the other hand, people should also be able to lose those lawsuits, and should also be able to sue for unnecessary preventative procedure, and the basis of winning or losing should be based on empirical evidence pertaining to risk.

Insurance isn't the problem, nor are malpractice lawsuits. It's the inherent risk in the field. Malpractice issues are greatly overstated in health care debates.

>Am I wrong in thinking that Google is crazy to not have a proper linux option for the Pixelbook?

You are crazy. The first thing a company like Google has to do when creating a new product is ask themselves how they monetize. It's something Sun Microsystems failed at and subsequently went out of business because of.

Google doesn't make money selling hardware, and has no plans to. They make it by getting people onto google apps and google search. Releasing proper linux support accomplishes neither of those goals. There are way too many people around here who seem to think Google loves Linux. Google loves Linux because it's a means to an end - they're jump started on drivers/hardware support, they have access to source (so they can control their own destiny), and it costs them no money.

They fact they're actively working on replacements for Linxu for their mobile strategy (and it's not open source), should tell you everything you need to know.

Interesting as the scrum is not a concern to me for head injuries (just spinal compression!). It is on the whole a pushing movement, not an impact.

However, i would like to point out that the Consulting "climate", in Sweden is very, very good and it is super-easy to find a client. Few searches and groups on linked-in will yield interviews, and there are plenty of brokers that deal with independent contractors.

Sounds like an even finer reason not to make bullshit claims of breakthroughs coming any minute now for forty years.
It might be realistic for you, or me or anyone in here, but it definitely isn't realistic for the average user. And it's them we try to protect by blocking ads. Technical savvy people have an armada of options at their disposal, for example we could just block JavaScript. But the average Joe relies heavily on ad blockers for a smoother and safer experience browsing the web. You can't expect non technical users to do any of the things you propose.
Can you? I thought yelp and google were very aggressive about burying businesses for this sort of thing. Maybe you could go on fiverr or something and collect a few, but there's no way that yelp doesn't catch 500 fraudulent reviews. They are way too aggressive with false positives as is, such that a good third of my actual reviews are hidden.
> Well they didn't, because "[...] to drive customer upgrades" is the key part they state they are not doing.

When you write an entire article explicitly stating that you made your older products slower compared to newer ones, and then at the end you offer a promotion on batteries, you kind of are trying to "drive costumer upgrades".

On planned obsolescence: of course they won't admit it. But at the end of the day, they made old iphones slower, and new iphones faster. On purpose. How is this not planned obsolescence?
A large part of it is schedule/balance. Before I could get sleep in any condition. But now if I eat too late, I will have acid reflux at times. If I don't have physical activity I'll be too anxious. If i delay sleeping time I'll go off and sleep during the day.

Don't eat late, cut anything too mentally addictive (socnet, binge watching). Relaxing env. Eat well, move a lot (I never sleep better than when Im drain post jogging).

It won't cure all, but even in bad times (I am just past one) it makes a good difference.

6 Guidelines on How and When to Use Non-Disclosures
I don't disagree with most of what he said, including Bitcoin's usefulness right now (not to be confused with the usefulness of all cryptocurrencies), but I think calling it an outright ponzi scheme is not that clear.

So he says that Bitcoin has seen no increase in usage. But that's not true, or at least it wasn't true for many years. But I think if someone was to quantify how many companies use Bitcoin as payment, for instance, we'd see a net gain for 2017 compared to 2016, which means that statement would then be false.

Now if he'd be saying that the increase in recent value doesn't correlate with the increase in usage, that's quite different. At the same time, it's not out of the ordinary for Bitcoin, because Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies, too, see "spikes" in valuation whenever there's a trend of positive and major news about it - news that has little to do with the price of Bitcoin.

The main problem is that after that initial spike the mainstream media starts covering it, and then all the people who hear then about it, only hear about the price increase. I would say that at that point it becomes sort of a ponzi scheme, but only temporarily.

But even in this case, would you say it's so much different than the mainstream media covering how "Tesla reached $400 per Share" or "Apple reached $1 trillion valuation", and other examples like that? When people would read those sorts of stories, most would also think "Oh, look at that company grow, I guess it's time for me to buy some shares there, too!". And then the price increases further, but the rise is not as pronounced as for cryptocurrencies. But fundamentally I don't see too much of a difference.

Why the mainstream and tech media doesn't cover the rest of the "fundamental" stories about cryptocurrencies beats me. For instance, there have been important news stories like big banks forming alliances to use cryptocurrencies in one way or another. But you only see those stories on crypto news sites. The tech media or MSM only seem interested in the price stories, at least for now. And I would say they are primarily responsible for the "ponzi" aspect of cryptocurrencies.
Well, if you don't have any then it becomes somewhat awkward to define any reasonable meaning for "fair".
I have a friend who worked on the construction of the CMS at CERN. Calibration, actually.

He has a similar ability to very clearly explain the technology and what it is trying to accomplish. And an innate curiosity or interest that causes him to learn that -- beyond just his specific technical area.

In other words, some engineers are very effective networkers and communicators.

When I stop to think about it, they have to be, to ever succeed in building such a large and complex device -- in the company and at the behest of so many other disciplines, both practical and theoretical.

P.S. I should add that he does this with everything that really interests him and/or that he is doing. It's not confined to one topic or things he formally works on.

P.P.S. This may be a "Captain Obvious" comment; nonetheless, the presentation reminded me of him.

And of how some comment science stereotypes really are far from the mark.
I sponsored a game club (ok I buy the pizza) for some teenagers. They invented games. Hobo Hoedown. Orion Empire. Merchants of Ur. Bloodline. Gangsta. Holmgang.

Its Hobo cards on my desk (plus some stray pasteboard printed cards from a game that never got off the ground). You have a Hobo, Dumpster Dive (draw from the Dumpster deck) to outfit your hobo until you have Shirt and Pants slots filled at least, then draw Grifter cards to Fight! Opponents like the Home-owners Association, Burger Stand Doug, or Ed the Bicylist. Then you roll dice against their Power, have to make as many successes as the number of fights you've won. Add dice to roll by equipping Bicycle Chain, Dead Cat or even Jorts!

Yeah, not very correct but a big hit with everybody who's play-tested it.

You hit it on the nail. The article is actually somewhat of an advertisement. The author is signaling about his "master status" as an exemplar of this iconiclastic lifestyle. He needs to do this to sell his self-help books, tutorials, advice, etc. He also needs to gain the credibility so he is invited for talks for those mostly marketing based "Hacker Cons" where a bunch of semi believable tinkerers tell their stories about how they did something so special and mold breaking. And I don't mean technical conferences we all love. I mean the bullshit ones.

I think it's a particularly novel idea of using on-die fuses to prevent firmware downgrade. I don't know how common that is in the console security world, but the amount of actual firmware updates vs. software updates in any given device would be pretty low and from what I've read the number of fuses is large enough they're never really going to run out of it.

But I also absolutely love the use of the uninitialized PID argument value to be PID 0. There's a poor engineer sitting at Nintendo looking at that slide and just going "well... shit."
I don't understand how the union/employer relations in the US seem to always get that crazy. It seems it's either the employer trying to exploit workers to the max or the union demanding terms that clearly impede even legitimate work. I have worked in Germany in a unionized company and it was fine. There was a framework for overtime and other things but we still could do what was needed to get our job done. I really don't get it. It's either one party exploiting the other or the other way around.

We haven't had a single-party government in Ireland since the '50s, and it hasn't done us a lick of harm. Quite the opposite, in fact, as junior parties tend to be a moderating influence on the senior one. If anything, it's typically the junior party that gets shafted the most when the elections come.

If you want real pork extortion, then you need a minority government propped up by a deal with an opposition party. That's what you have with the DUP.
