At the first chance I could I moved to South East Asia while working a remote job in Europe. Employer was not too stoked. But then found a new employer, which was absolutely okay with me living there. There is A LOT to the story which I'm not mentioning, but it's been the best decision or my life. I'm also meeting more and more other people here which are making the same move. Many of them who haven't yet told their employer that they now live 5+ different timezones away.
Dogs might might be better learners and problem solvers than cats but your statement doesn't make any sense.
They are using a type of logical inference called abduction: based upon one's observations of an unexplained phenomenon, one formulated a hypothesis as to why it is so.

> If whoever wrote this, would be actually good at critical thinking, they would have noticed, that there is no logical connection. Just because I am good at one thing, does not mean, I have to be bad at another thing.

The logical fallacies you are using here are ad hominem and the straw man argument.

This is not the same thing. Shares of a company have an actual value: a part of the company's capital (computers, building, etc). At least there is some ground based on real-world something. Of course the company can go bankrupt and owe more money than its capital can cover, but that's still not the same has crypto assets, whose values are purely speculative.
The license is still GPLv3 so anyone can take the source code, slap it on GitHub and maintain a more community run alternative.

They lose if they don't show up in small claims court to defend themselves. It's a few hundred bucks in the US for them to hire a lawyer to show.
It's really age dependent. We didn't do it as structured as OP going back at exactly 3 minutes etc. When she was under 1 year old she would sleep within 5 minutes, so no need to go back.

Now that she's older and speaking, she sometimes doesn't want to go to bed and will tell you. Then it helps to communicate that you'll be back and they're not on their own. Gives enough comfort that I almost never do more than come back once after 10 minutes or so, and over half the time she's already sleeping. If not I just say good night again, hand back the stuffed animal that by that point has usually been thrown out of the bed and that's it.

It doesn't have the network effect.

Folks seem to fail to realize that open source project fail when it comes to collaboration products, not because the tech is worse (many times the open source tech might be better), they fail because of the lack of network effects they have achieved.

This is why Slack/FB/Github flourish, while open source alternatives don't.
Small point: the courts didn’t decide this in the 1960s, the legislature did with the Civil Rights Act. The courts enforced it. The courts don’t (shouldn’t) determine what is in the public’s interest, the legislature (aka the people) does.
The issue is that cars do not scale well. It's like running a tech company where IT manually triages every single ticket, with no self-service system: after a certain point, you just can't scale it up. Think of public transit, walking, cycling, scooters, etc. as the real-world transportation equivalent of automation. Cars take up a massive amount of space for a single person and dump tons of CO2, pollutants, and noise into their surroundings. And they routinely kill and/or maim people.

It's fine to own a car, park it in your garage space in a city, and use it to drive out of the city from time to time. It isn't OK for cars to dominate 50% of the space in modern American cities for roads, free street parking, and parking lots. Particularly because it comes at the expense of space that could be used for more scalable transportation solutions.

> Or maybe I don't live in a city, and I want to visit it with my car.

Sure, feel free to drive to the other city by car. But in a more scalable world without hellish traffic, you'll have to get around on foot, by bike/scooter, or using public transit in the city. Because cars aren't scalable.

This will probably get lower over the next few days but it still doesn't look very distributed compared with the existing Banking system.

It's hard to tell the difference between ETH running on infrastructure maintained by Binance, Binance, and FTX etc and USD going between JPMorgan, Citi, and Goldman.

I live near Carmel, Indiana, the roundabout capital of the US. Small ones, large ones, figure 8's, figure... double-peanut-looking things with elevated crossovers near interstate junctions. They work well and keep traffic moving.

But there is a learning curve. Every new roundabout causes a significant jump in crashes for a short time. Though, those crashes tend to be "glancing blows" that cause less serious injuries due to the angle of attack imposes by the roundabout.

Smaller cities and towns in Indiana are adopting more roundabouts near congested areas. It's important to introduce them gradually and give drivers time to acclimate.

You cannot reserve the phrase "Ticket to Europe". However, you can make a very strong case that a video-game named "Ticket to Europe" infringes on the copyright of your video-game named "Ticket to Ride: Europe".

I would strongly recommend you to change the name of your game before you face such issues (well, you may have already according to this thread), because if your game launches and is at all successful, you will 100% face legal action.
On the face of it, it doesn't make much sense that your ethnicity should affect the truth value of your statement. Being a certain ethnicity can make you more likely to have the requisite experience for certain perspectives, but it can't actually alter the reality of an argument.

Even if you make a generalization about your own ethnicity, it's still a generalization that's not particularly helpful. If an argument is considered inappropriate because it targets a different ethnicity and is also an unhelpful generalization, it does not suddenly become helpful when retargeted to the speakers' own group.
Waah the big bad EU forced companies to disclose how they are using my data!

What I would like to see browsers do is grow a feature that tells web servers what uses of my data I consider acceptable, so that I don't have to waste my time every time I visit nearly every site on the entire damn Internet.

But we've been there before - P3P, Do-Not-Track, and now Global Privacy Control. Until regulators force web sites to obey signals from browsers, we're going to be stuck with these bloody popups.

Money laundering cash at scale is much, much, much harder than money laundering crypto.
From that perspective, I agree but the dynamics are different.

"Rich" people moving into your neighbourhood is very different from rich people setting up a factory in your neighbourhood.

Both have positive and negative impacts but for the workers rich people moving into your neighbourhood is almost exclusively negative but if a foreign company sets up business in your neighbourhood its more of a mixed bag.

Exploiting the arbitrage is how arbitrage is removed so it is a good thing in principle, notice how the poor countries seize being poor after rich countries invest in them and produce all the stuff for cheap.

My problem is with the limits on who exploits that arbitrage. Workers are the most limited bunch with very little prospect to benefit from the arbitrage.
No but it did include the people who wrote MySQL (twice) and Postgres. It also included Linux and BSD.

How does this analogy make sense though? Fireworks was, to Adobe, some third-rate app that Adobe had to acquire because they had acquired Flash, the thing they really cared about. Adobe certainly maintained Flash - anyone remember ActionScript 3?

In this Figma acquisition, Figma is the main prize. They're not just going to leave Figma to languish, no more than they left Flash to languish. Eventually Flash did die, yes, but that was more Apple crushing it than a direct decision of Adobe.

Many of cryptographical constructs of the past 4 years were and are spearheaded by blockchains, in particular fast signature aggregation, threshold signatures protocols and zero knowledge proofs. This translates to protocols for:

- voting.

- splitting a critical company secret between say the CEO, COO, CFO, Head of HR, Compliance, Legal and requiring 4 out of 6 to sign off critical actions, without ever revealing that secret.

- proving that you did or you own something without revealing what. Which could be quite interesting for law enforcement for example.

With some schemes, like ECDSA, you can't use a larger nonce since the nonce is a field element.

In general, you shouldn't need to worry about it unless you're using a broken CSPRNG or a bad cryptography library. And some libraries will try and work around bad RNGs: https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.19.1:src/...

The entire premise of limited liability corporations is a creation of government; these are artificial entities, not people, they have privileges not rights.

Something I also share with the younger generation is the understanding that the cowardice of their elders is what got us all in this situation to start with. "Self-sovereignty" and individualism are failed ideologies: we will solve this for all of us or for none of us.

A large contingent of ""hackers"" throws up their hands and say "fine none of us then as long as I can insulate myself from the worse effects of it" and yes that is a shameful abdication of the responsibilities we have towards each other. Sorry if you find your own identity in there but you don't have to be so complacent about it yourself either.
20+ years in the industry, here's my quick take on your situation in the spirit of constructive feedback:

- You're far enough into your career that you will have to actively work on your career and/or self in order to achieve your next set of objectives. The early career momentum has worn off.

- You need to upgrade your resume. Pay someone a few hundred $ to help you with this. Resume writing does not appear to be a strength of yours, learn and improve.

- I hire contractors globally for myself and clients. Your resume is easily worth $125/hr on the contract market. If you're only getting $60-$80, there may be some other factors you are not disclosing here that are keeping your rate down. It would be worth engaging with those factors if you want to increate your compensation. Edit: look on a site like Upwork to see what people with your background are earning on the contract market.

- The emphasis on San Francisco compensation has obscured the fact that comp has been rising in the rest of the US. First, obviously West Coast companies are much more open to remote/satellite offices. For example, Microsoft and Google have engineering offices in Atlanta. You can see what folks are making by going to a site like levels.fyi and filtering for DevOps, 10-20 years experience and looking outside of California. (Nvidia @ $300k for Senior DevOps in Raleigh looks like a good cost-of-living vs comp.)

- If you look outside of pure tech companies, you will likely have to go into management to hit the high numbers. With your experience, if you are able/willing to lend and/or manage engineering teams, you should be able to get into the $250k range in most major US cities. Advantage to non-tech companies is they are more likely to have sane work-life balance.

- You may want to consider expanding your skills into a niche. For example, are you able to help companies build data pipelines for data engineering? Machine Learning? There are some fairly niche problems in that area; knowledge of any of those would help you differentiate yourself and drive higher pay.

Good luck!
> Let's not blame the technology

That sounds like something people say to defend guns, nukes, and crypto. Why wouldn't you blame a technology whose primary use is malignant?

It's not like the crypto hellscape we have now was an accident of its evolution. It was the inevitable and predictable outcome of a decentralized and poorly regulated system built atop complex code that the average person has little chance of properly evaluating.

From all appearances, this is exactly how they were designed and exactly the point, to extract money from fools and funnel it to a select few crypto bankers. That's not a good thing.
PayPal probably has many orders of magnitude more customers than any escrow service could imaginably have.

Also, you are still trusting humans, or a company as a trusted intermediary (and in the case of escrow services, most likely with no course of legal action if things go wrong). My argument still stands.
Economics prohibits it. Consider a feature that will cost 1 month of developer time, let’s put that at $10k. 20 companies using the product want that feature, and each would be willing to pay $1k for it. No problem, right? The community would be willing to pay $20k total, and the feature would only cost $10k to implement, so why can’t it get done?

It can’t get done because every company wants to let some other sucker pay for the feature, and then free-ride after it’s implemented. No individual company would pay the $10k, because the feature is only worth $1k to them, even though it’s worth $20k to society.
MSRP is $499 and that's already inflated $120 over the previously established MSRP.

I would consider a $3070 at $400 to be back to normal.
I fully agree with you BUT you proposal is actually not allowed by the GDPR law. The legislation forbids website to trust a global setting when choosing how to handle cookies.

I rolled up my sleeve too. And found it completely impractical. Especially for non technical experts to undertake such a massive project.
Thanks for the link; I can’t read the article because I’m not a WaPo subscriber (I’ll see if I can find a copy somehow).

Do you know whether the Fed forecasts that for software engineering jobs? I think that is what’s most relevant for a large number of folks in this thread.
> Seems like there could be a market for it now.

It would be easy enough to test it out if you had a sales channel in mind: give it a shot and if somebody wants to buy one, slap together something with Wireguard and two Raspberry Pis and build from there.

The main problem I see is getting steady access to qualified leads, since I would assume "remote workers who are trying to hide that they are in the wrong country" is a particularly difficult cohort to track down reliably to market to. Honestly, if you could detect such people at scale, selling your system to HR departments may be a better business.
Part of that is handling the Discord overlay. So, when you are in a game, and you are in a Discord VC, you can display who is talking. There are keyboard shortcuts that come along with that which you can use if you want.

In order to detect those keyboard short cuts, they need to listen for them.

You are free to not give them permission.

Posting about asking permission under a comment talking about "abusive" behavior is a bit odd.
Be consequential and quit if discord is that bad. Its the companies job to produce a good service, not yours to beg them for it!
Transactions do not have an energy cost unto themselves, blocks do. If the entire world were to stop sending Bitcoin transactions for one hour, it would make almost no difference in the power consumption of the world's miners. Roughly 7 to 10 empty blocks would be produced. The mining process provides network security all on its own, transactions or no transactions.

>Why would you include that?

Because I said "all externalities". Bitcoin competes with the traditional financial system, including all the people and infrastructure involved in cash handling. That includes not just minting, but distributing it, collecting it, counting it, securing it, and so forth. And that is a cost borne not just by the United States federal government, but every government with physical currency and every bank on the planet. The idea that doing all this with physical objects is less power consuming than doing it with data is ridiculous.

If you want to make an honest apples to apples comparison, you include everything. Mining power usage is the single largest driver of bitcoin energy footprint granted, but it has a lot less other stuff attached.
It was an amazing feat to do. But the question of “so what?” remains unanswered.

Many viruses hide in reservoirs. EBV is famous for reactivating. ME/CFS appears to be a threshold condition where once you pass a threshold you enter a diseased state and it’s a crapshoot to how bad it gets. From what I’ve seen LongCovid is not worse than ordinary ME/CFS, it appears to be exactly the same.

Yes. Just like Amazon has lots of competition in ecommerce.

> Cryptocurrency was created (seemingly) as a way to purchase things across borders free from regulation in a quasi-anonymous way. It soon devolved into an extremely volatile investment vehicle for the short sighted, and a way to push ponzi schemes by tech sociopaths.

That was at least the stated reason. But now that time has passed I find myself wondering if the person who was smart enough to invent cryptocurrency and smart enough to hide their identity, might also have been smart enough to foresee ways they could benefit from it personally.

I guess I am not convinced that the stated rationale is the whole story.
Trains, cars and power stations serve a purpose. The blockchain only creates waste with nothing in return. Yeah it does pollute less now, but it's still too much.
