It takes five minutes to make a website look less obviously AI-generated.
Sending an unsolicited email to a person or a group is a cold email. There's nothing to bikeshed here.
I got my first job in the U.S by emailing the local PHP user group introducing myself. The CEO of a dev agency was on the list, and 2 weeks later I had a job offer.
Moving to a new country not knowing anyone and with barely any money, fair to say that one email changed my life.
Just my two cents: don't chase happiness through work. It rarely works out that way. Work to live, don't live to work. I know it sounds a bit cheesy, but give it a try and see how it feels.
If you’ve got 30 minutes, I recommend checking out the first half of this podcast

For a second I was really confused about what Epstein had to do with x-rays
You’d think people would at least spend 2 minutes changing obvious tells like “Why This Matters”…
My online bank doesn’t support international wire transfers. I had to wire money to a local bank then go to the branch in person, twice, to wire money to my own brother in Europe.
He then had to schedule an appointment with his own bank, go in person, and justify why he received such a big transfer, mind you, it was 8k…
So yeah, it’s not about regulation. If crypto can help streamline all this, it’s a net positive

The answer should be obvious, but isn't.I'm curious to hear real-world experiences that go beyond database design 101 textbooks.
Have you faced any tradeoffs, surprises, or regrets around this decision?
I see nothing Israel hasn’t done yet we give them billions of dollars in aid.
Data warehouses are structured to handle large volumes of data and complex queries more efficiently than a typical transactional database like PostgreSQL.
The Go community is generally averse to frameworks.
Checkout Fitbod for lifting. It's pretty good!
I'd work on a side project. Freelancing platforms like upwork are very competitive and if you're in the U.S you'll never be able to compete on price.

If you can make this work with exteriors, Landscaping design is huge.
Maybe start with something simple like desert landscaping (which is really just rocks, turf, Pavers, maybe small palm trees)
it's definitely not free. There's a fee but even if they waive it, they make more money from currency exchange rates.
To each their own but I found the opposite to be true. Coding or trying to focus on one one task while chat/email notifications are popping up left and right is very disruptive. I went down from two monitors to one and I'm very happy with the decision.
I’ve been working at a fully distributed company for 3 years and I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that none of my 700+ coworkers will ever use something like this. You may find some traction now with companies abruptly transitioning to remote work and not having a clue how to get work done without being in an office, but long term, I’m a sceptic.
I can tell you, however, that I would absolutely consider using this at home: my wife spends at least 3 hours a day on video calls with her family back home and it took some time to get her elderly parents accustomed to Smartphones, messenger/whatsapp, etc. they’ll start a video call on messenger and just keep it on for hours while doing their shores or whatever. An always on device, especially if you add in remote management, would be useful.
Another use case is kids. Right now most schools are doing distance learning and loosing the social aspect is certainly going to hurt. This could allow them to stay connected while doing homework, craft, or even playing video games without having to start meetings.
I think this is a good idea, my only advise would be to try other growth channels besides startups.
Algorithms and data structures are very useful and a general knowledge is certainly required. However, when you're facing a problem, do you have to come up with an optimal solution, on a whiteboard, in 45 minutes, and with someone looking over your shoulder?
