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.

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.
