Termitiono

My current job by talking to a friend/pre work college now college again.

But my search strategy changed over time.

1. My network was much smaller 10 years ago and I knew a lot less local companies.

Now I also Google around for companies I would like to work for. Like Google, GitHub, Netflix etc.

I also research what company is doing what I think is good for society like agriculture and automatiosation.

Currently I'm slightly stuck as my company allows remote work a d I want to buy a farm. So I'm not sure if I can jump continents (like USA) to work on bigger agriculture projects or if the farm and remote work will be more of my thing.

I also focus much more on the people I would work with and ask about the team etc.

But I also looked through ALL job postings in my city to get a better feeling what is out there. Probably I read 1000 job postings last time I was searching.

My Tipp: start with one two super unrealistic dream job companies than move to your top choice more realistic companies.

You don't want to get an offer from your 5th choice while still stuck in the hiring process for your dream job.

I would still quit a new job if the Dre job suddenly comes up.

There will always the mainstream consumer side and the open source side.

Am I scared? No.

And let's see if games are becoming only available through the cloud. Perhaps than it feels as good as steam etc.

Perhaps you will be the old dude complaining that there is no bank around anymore ;)

Good that he talks about the climate.

Independent of this: "We should be trying to figure out the right path out of this mess. "

For me I'm fine on thinking about how to solve the climate crisis before I will spend energy on solving crypto issues but that's something every one has to decide for themselves.

Fixing climate change will be more beneficial for everyone who has kids and/or likes his/her family members kids or kids from friends.

Which I do.

I think overall people would prefer less energy costs, more food and more water and less extreme weather before crypto but that's just my guess.

But at least on hn I'm reading more about crypto than that.

Just that we already do that successful while Blockchain now needs miners.

In the current situation with this amount of information it could be a lot of different things.

Also from a statistical standpoint it's totally valid that this event happened now as it could just mean that a similar event is not happening for the next 50 years.

I went to a private game academy in Berlin and stoped after a year.

I got more insight into game dev and I think that I'm good but you only need a handful of things which are really interesting.

Like the game engine or the ai part or whatever.

Those people are just better than I am due to just being smarter etc.

So do I want to be a normal paid tool developer or dialog system biluilder or do I want a proper carrier and earn money?

I earn a good amount of money and I do not work in game dev.

I don't regret it and can imagine doing full time private game development when I'm 50 and stoped working.

Totally forgot about this but btw. We are on hn. .io is my preferred domain ending due to io ;)

The lagrange point itself has a probability how realistic it is that something can be cought in it / if it stays there.

There are other points were stones collect like l4 and l5.

Then we have Hubble (and over 100 others as a benchmark, a few ships/missions like to the moon and Mars.

Herschel space observatory was also on l2. There is a wiki Artikel called 'list of objects at langrange points'

This still doesn't indicate anything.

It doesn't say how much bigger.

My point I'm trying to make: the original comment indicates to me that we need to worry. For me it conveys much more speculation than I think is reasonable right now.

For example they were also not expecting to have such a great optical resolution.

Not sure we're you getting this from.

They made plenty of simulation s and probably enough around this topic. They had enough time after all

I was referring to the initial price of a good .com domain.

That will cost you a few thousand dollars if you are not lucky, which you are not if you need to use a hyphen

But a renewal price for 50$/year for a business doesn't matter.

I'm quite surprised how much I can do in my spare time on my small startup than often enough in my day to day job.

You get a good and potentially expensive com domain for easy of use and not landing in spam folders.

I prefer *.io domains for non critical things.

I'm not sure if your first point is a necessity for other perhaps good ideas.

They will either not make those notes or only do one batch due to it just being a novelty in it's current state.

For me it feels like 'blind entrepreneur + we want to ship + we need to ship for more funding'.

I would even like to support weird ideas if it wouldn't promote Bitcoin usage :-(

I think your second point is more interesting: why do you think this digital to analog transition will be a thing?

Even in Zimbabwe they already have 50% smartphones and those are only getting cheaper and cheaper and will continue to flood the market.

My future imagines a smartphone only world for everything. From money, to house and car key. Germany now allows your passport or driver license on your phone.

I think it will be much more interesting how we can make smartphone theft obsolete and phone recovery easy. Like how do I regain my phone's state when I loose it while traveling.

You can see it as an idiotic PoW for all those people working in those banks.

It's easy to make it renewable with benefits to us. The solar panel on a bank building is giving energy to people.

And I'm not saying that the current banking system is perfect (it actually optimizes itself quite well) but it has much more features while Bitcoin/crypto doesn't have real solutions for huge issues.

Fraud, scams, money laundry, investment tools, sepa, bank account recovery, global market regulations, sanctions Support etc.

And it does all of that with billions and billions of assets.

While Bitcoin consumes energy.

In an utopian society we don't need banks and no PoW crypto but that's not what is critical now.

Besides aluminum smelter, due to high energy costs there are other critical industry affected as well: paper making and glass making. Bottles for example.

While this is still the wrong approach, better than nothing.

Why is it wrong? Because BTC still produces co2 with renewable. It competes with much more critical energy consumers like heating and day to day life.

It still produces tons of hardware garbage.

What we need is a Bitcoin mining co2 tax.

Bitcoins deconnected market needs to be connected to the normal energy market. Currently Bitcoin is competing with aluminium makers and all others but with total randomes

And before someone tells me that everyone can do with there energy whatever they want: climate change affects us all. We already have big issues but at least Bitcoin doesn't solve any with it's huge co2 footprint.

And yes you! Also need cheap aluminum heating gas for your car. Don't think you are not affected negatively by Bitcoin!

My strategy is to work as long as I can and have to.

Have to means having no debt,.my own land and low living costs. Basically being independent. Then using my career to work 50% with a good salary remote.

If I would not do that, I would do the same as you and look for something good to work on.

For me I would go and find a company which does things for agriculture or other things which helps us all.

Working 40h feels wrong though.

Either you can use the internet than you don't need that note.

You need internet to actually verify and take ownership of the value of it.

It only helps if the giver doesn't have internet.

And sure it's easier to smuggle this one note over a border than a suitcase bout you could smuggle actually anything with an offline wallet in it like USB stick, CD etc.

Why is this significant in your eyes?

I'm lost

I'm still questioning the real benefit compared to the downsides of it.

Ordering food online vs. Terrawatts of energy wasted, Asics hardware and GPU prices and the created co2 of all of that.

Mmhhh difficult very difficult

Your physical note itself expire 2029?

What? Why?

That's just a joke I'm too stupid to get right?

You make a physical representation of something digital which also changed denomination quite often the last 10 years?

What do I do with it?

I mean first of I need to check if the value is on that note so I need a smartphone. Now I have a smartphone why do I need a note?

The only useful thing would be if I as the giver don't have a smartphone but than I also need to give away a printed object. How cheap can someone print something like this?

Now Bitcoin makes even more garbage?!

In your example though they gave it away, to you ;)

720p as webcam is very new.

My teams shows up to 8 I think.

Did you get an answer?

While teams is super inefficient, 10 years ago no one was casually streaming 4k with a webcam feed in a remote team session with 2-10 people.

If it's not broken, my stuff goes to ebay.

An advantage to buying better hardware in the first place: it will still be worth enough for someone else to buy it from me.

I sometimes also donate my stuff and repairing issues before. Like my two last laptops

Have you read his hardware specs?

I do a lot of things which just wouldn't be possible on his setup at all.

That's a weird sentiment.

Without the investment of early adopters the hardware would not be as cheap or as good as it is right now.

Also no one throws older hardware away.

I update my system when needed but I always have reasonable good hardware.

SSD/nvm are same defaults for me.

Memory I currently have 48gb in my desktop for running a VM properly.

My last CPU upgrade was necessary when I got a new camera and the raw files grinded Lightroom to a snail.

My keyboards are either full metal base with real cherry MX keys or a expensive ergonomic keyboard also with cherry MX keys.

I sit too long on my device every day to cheap out.

My displays always are at least IPS panels but my current display is already 6 years old. Still IPS with 27" and 1440 resolution.

I think it's good that you can work with your setup and your situation is a little bit harder I guess but make sure that you don't need to wait unreasonably long for your PC doing it's tasks.

And never use a HDD as your main hard disk!

Holy shit. Your motivation to spend time with your kid sounds terrible.

You could actually spend time on thinking what you could do with your kids.

Why did you get kids in the first place?
