Given the number of cryptocurrencies devs have struggled to get their coins in front of the community. Some of the devs have tried distributing free coins and this is known as "airdrop" in the cryptocurrency community. Though most of them use some criteria to stop people from falsely claiming coins.

I forgot the exact name but there was a cryptocurrency which did an airdrop for citizens of a particular country.

This coin seems to be in a similar mold. Though the pitch is that it is Universal Basic income.

Looking at the history, it seems it is just a re-brand of an existing coin called Grantcoin which has been in circulation since 2015.
Online money making is not easy and you'll have to consistently search for new ideas and skills.
Here is my list:
1)Writing blogs/content: search for blogs in your interest area and offer them ideas and content, having a good Quora profile or personal blog will reflect quality.
2)Search for "who is hiring" in HN and other related forums and directly mail them if that work can be done remotely at discounted cost.
3) Dropshiiping: Learn digital marketing. Explore Shopify, AliExpress, oberlo and printful. Dropping is not easy but a has a lot of potential if you can get repeat customers and a general intelligence towards digital marketing.
4) Explore indiehackers.com and see how people like us are cracking this stuff.

Incase you need help in getting resources for these do let me know.
What does this give you that pandas lacks? Or is it more geared towards people that like to use the terminal?
I almost didn't bother because it was a video of someone messing with a csv file, but I'm glad I took a few minutes out to watch that.

For everyone who hasn't watched it yet, from what I can tell, this is a clip of someone using a terminal tool they've made for hacking around with tablular data. It looks awesome for exploring data in a partially visual way, driven by commands. I'll often end up doing a bunch of stuff like he demonstrates directly in python — pull out the data, filter, find patterns, calculate new columns. You could probably do much of that with Pandas, but this definitely looks like it would be worth a play.
Modifying the attributes and seeing the updated charts is very nice. What is the data you're using?
Yeah, it makes no sense, I can't believe that the report said this too:

>The large groups had bought some $40 million in tickets, $16 million of which was revenue for the state.

No, actually it was negative revenue, since the state payed out more than $40 million in prizes.
> I could never use that crockpot for food again.

They actually mentioned that the crockpot in question was brought home from a lab, and it was used specifically for cleaning biogoo from bones.

But otherwise, I totally agree on the ick factor. I'm a little surprised that a crockpot with detergent, and then hydrogen peroxide, is all it takes to sufficiently disinfect dead critter stuff.

(Then again, I toss raw meat in a crock pot and then shove it directly into my mouth, so I don't know why I'm surprised.)
Why, specifically, do you want to move into Product Management?

Hmm... with standalone HMDs coming out this year, I wonder what might be the VR equivalent of linux handhelds?

HMDs based on qualcomm's snapdragon 835 vr chipset are android, so perhaps someday linux on android on HMD.

But you can also think of HMDs as merely fancy monitors. And use a bluetooth keyboard (for flexibility). Leaving you with simply a portable headless linux box. Acting as a wifi hub.[1] Serving say a WebVR RDP client to the HMD.

So imagine a standalone android HMD (like [2]), decorated with a linux single-board computer. Or several. Maybe with power from the HMD battery (~4k mAh) via USB. So power-on all, run chromium in the HMD, browse to the linux board, run Xpra RDP in stereo. For passthrough AR, one often wants more cameras and associated computes than an HMD provides out of the box (for dynamic range, and high-res narrow-FoV to see lecture slides, and fisheye for better situational awareness (eg on public transport), and optical tracking of hands and keyboard and such). So imagine a Pi-based ecosystem of linux HMD-mounted symbiotes. And any boards with their own battery, and not doing camera, can stay in a backpack or pocket, simply connected by wifi. Thoughts?

Linux headhelds.

> [I'm just a guy that] wants that right thing to be practical and to know that we're on safe legal ground with it.

Then explain clearly and specifically what thing you want to do that you believe isn't practical. Please say exactly what you want to do that you think is reasonable but that the GDPR says isn't.

- You don't need to destroy invoices. [1] [2]

- You don't need to delete web logs (if you block out the bottom octet of the IP addresses) [3]

- You don't need to delete web logs if you're using them to prevent fraud [4]

- You don't need to delete the record of them asking you to stop using their data [5] [6]

- You don't need to reprocess all of your backups [7] [8]

- You don't have to recall any reports you might have sent out [9]

Those are everything that I labelled as silly with a link to the authority and a supporting opinion if I think that the authority isn't clear.

If you see someone with a contrary opinion, my offer remains to try and refute any specific example.

> What I'm seeing is that most of the experts are arguing for things like a "risk-based approach", which is the standard CYA consultant/lawyer answer to almost anything

The ICO recommends something similar, but it's not just about rocking the boat: If you're not putting people at risk, and you're not pissing anyone off, then you're probably not going to have trouble because an honest examination of your processes isn't going to reveal neglect or recklessness of another kind.

> and for then causing real and sometimes very serious damage to those smaller businesses in practice afterwards.

A citation would be helpful.

I suspect there's a balance: Are we harming a smaller business that was being inappropriate? Putting people's data at risk? What exactly are we talking about?

I was eating lunch with some co-workers around the time of the Boston marathon bombing a few years ago. One of the people didn't know what a pressure cooker was, and they were showing one on whatever news channel was playing.

Another co-worker piped up with, "When I was in 5th grade my mom used a pressure cooker to clean the bones of a dead sheep I found"

Intrigued, I had him finish the story. They lived in a farm area and there was a small sheep that had been hit by a car. He took it home, and they followed a similar process to clean the bones and he used some wire to put the skeleton back together for a school science project.

It's sort of in between AoE 1 and 2, with a bit of Empire Earth mixed in as well. It was the go-to for people looking for a more modern AoE, prior to AoE:DE being released, and many people still consider it to be better than AoE:DE.

It's also open-source and free.

As far as I know, this is the second Basic Income coin in circulation. The first is based on a WoT and is mostly in France.[1] The overall concept is refered to as "universal dividend" or a 10%/year inflation equally distributed to the WoT members justified by a "Relative Theory of Money".[2]

said like a true Scotsman.
I did a lot of work on things like stitching aerial photos and generating 3D models of cities in the early 2000s. Then Keyhole/Google Earth came along around 2004 and mooted all of it. Within a few years, Google and Microsoft had achieved all of my vision. All the 3D earth products have now far surpassed my wildest imaginings.

Then I did a lot of thinking and prototyping around grammar-based procedural generation. I'd noticed that all the research on this stopped at simplistic academic models. But I'd realized that all industrial design is intensely grammatical, so why couldn't I easily whip up a 3D model of a toilet or the Pixar lamp with just a sentence? Well, a few years ago a professional architect turned programmer noticed this too, and turned that dull academic research into a sophisticated and expensive Unity asset: http://www.archimatix.com/gallery

I worked on a GPU accelerated OS shell in 2003, before Vista did it. Mine was actually 3D though, which never caught on.

I'm working on a thing right now that I believe will be ubiquitous in games and especially VR. I've scoured the web and haven't found a single word written about it. It's sufficiently ahead of its time that although I have a very clear understanding of it, and have no trouble saying a lot of words about it, it's very hard to communicate the value to others. And no I'm not telling what it is, unless you're an angel investor :D

I actually picked up a couple of these with the idea of putting a PiZero in them. There's a good bit of space in the area on both sides of the screen. If we could make the keyboard recognizable by the pi in some capacity (perhaps with an arduino translator), definitely some possibilities.

> What is the "other side" to affirming the basic humanity of women or black people?

But how much of politics is economic theory? We're split along the dismal science of welfare and taxation. It's unfair to the socially liberal and fiscal conservatives to shut down economic conversations on the basis of "you must hate blacks and women". That's really what I feel unjustly about. In the past people may have been more willing to discover your nuances, now it's a simple matter of red team or blue team.

Surely your age will assist you here (I’m 35 too). Unlike software development which is typically a “young mans game” due to the constant need to learn the latest thing (I know, sweeping generalisation), Product Management requires significant past experience of products. As a developer, I’m sure you’ve worked on many successful and non-successful products, and have a good insight as to what went well and not. I think former developers can make the best product managers (it’s the move I made) as you have internal insight into what it takes to make the product (assuming it’s a software product).
Timeline of what lead to this, from what I could gather:

• phantomjs is 7 years old, @pixiuPL has been contributing for about 2 months

• @ariya didn't respond to his requests for owner level permissions

• @pixiuPL published an open letter to the main page of phantomjs.org https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/15345

• the stress leads @ariya to close the repo.

• @pixiuPL intends to continue development on a fork

This is a good reminder of why non-technical skills are so important in OS and in general.

My $0.02, having been a PM for many years:

Read Cracking the PM Interview [1] (for an overview of the job, not the actual interview tips) and The Lean Startup [2] (for general philosophy).

35 is a great age for a PM, especially since PM's often start elsewhere -- maturity is a plus here. I'd say there are 3 main ways into it -- as an engineer, who starts to do PM-type stuff on a team where there's no PM. As a designer, who starts to do PM-type stuff on a team where there's no PM. Or as an MBA who has a good sense for engineering and design. Certifications generally don't mean anything -- communication and leadership skills, good judgment, experience and a proven track record are what matter. But all those things can be demonstrated in previous non-PM roles, in order to make the initial switch.

Also, if you want to be a PM then you'd better enjoy meetings, slides, people, and communicating & convincing all day long, day-in day-out. If those make you say an enthusiastic "yes that's me!" then jump right in. If not... you're gonna have a bad time...

Willing to give up on coding?

Pretty sure Amazon has the resources to:

1. Only stock counterfeit-prone items verifiably sourced from the real manufacturer, e.g. Apple, LV, Bose, etc.

2. Stop commingling inventory from multiple sources, which totally prevents any crowd-sourced detection of counterfeit sellers.

3. Increase manpower devoted counterfeit detection and enforcement. This could even include randomly pulling items from inventory and testing/inspecting them.

4. Detect obviously fake items, such as 1 TB microSD cards priced at $10. This can done through pre-listing manual reviews plus automation.

5. Give users obvious ways to signal the mothership about counterfeits, and take action on the signals.

6. etc.

In short there's all kinds of stuff a company with the resources of Amazon can do to solve this problem. The fact that they're doing nothing is telling.
It's dead, why do people even bother arguing ...
A. Age definitely doesn't matter.

B. In Google, for example, many people take a path similar to what you describe, gradually moving to product management from an engineering background. It usually requires demonstrating leadership, and doing some 'rotations' in which you perform a PM role on smaller projects before taking on a full product. Perhaps your best shot is asking your current management to take on product management and ownership duties in a project you are familiar with, maybe even being mentored by an experienced PM.

Page 13 which shows that this is a struggling coin since 2015 with barely enough "approved recipients". Two years in and they have 3446 participants.

But the glaring mistake is pointed out by cornholio already. So we already know what will end up happening if this ever takes off. These guys with their more than 50% stake will strike it rich.

As I said, most devs struggle to find an audience and need a pitch to sell it to the people. This coins pitch seems to be "UBI".

Relaxation: golf, video games, cooking, visiting co-workers families every weekend

Work Routines: Lunch with the team, afternoon snack, making tea

Home: doing dishes, walking the dogs

Most of these offer meditative or stress release time that releves a different stress that builds up daily or weekly.
For instance, I get very anxious when the house is a mess, and doing the dishes offers me quiet time to think to myself, and clean up the house.
The homebrew devs have just deleted a post from their forums which was asking whether it’s a problem that there are scripts in /System which use

You are asking the wrong question, IMHO.

What does matter is what you like to do. If you are technical, like to try new things, implement, build , etc... things, then you might find Product Management quite boring.

If you are a « people » person and view yourself in a role between Marketing and Engineering, then go for it!

At 35, you might not know what you really like, yet... Might simply go for it for some time, and then if you decide to go back to a “builder” position, you will know _why_.

how strongly do you believe that first principle?
EDIT: I realize this is directed more towards IC->management, and less IC->product manager. I'm still leaving it, as it feels like it will have value to OP.

If you stay in tech, you will be forever slinging code and at the whim of the business. You will forever be on the tech treadmill, learning new frameworks, languages, and programming languages. You will have an artificial compensation ceiling.

If you move into management, those problems turn into different problems, but with more upside. You develop your soft skills. You network. You learn to manage, shielding your team from bullshit above while helping your ICs develop themselves. If you're a good manager, they will follow you for the rest of your career to where ever you go. This is an asset not to be understated. No 10x developer can ever compete with a manager bringing a solid team with them.

Your potential is then limited less by what you know, and more who and what opportunities you're aware of. Your skills will be transferable to other industries, even the public sector. Again, I can't stress this enough. Could you take a year off as a developer or other technologist and have an easy time coming back into the market? From my research, the answer is no.

With time, you won't just be a product owner/manager; if done properly, you will be able to demonstrate that you can solve business problems while having a solid foundation of the technical underpinnings required to solve those problems. And everyone is looking for competent business problem solvers.
