Could you share links to any threads or accounts people are sharing regarding tech organisations in firefighting mode against this?

I work for a large non-US based tech company and have not heard anything about this beyond HN.

This is great. Wish I had started programming earlier in my life (started when I was 23).

COVID-era restrictions to Europe and India are dropping on November 8th. Be prepared for a reflux of desperate migrants who will happily take those jobs. (Disclaimer: I'm one of them).

> I think covid was a splash of cold water that's caused many of the people in my circle to re-evaluate how they spend their time. Tech workers are so in demand that we can freely change jobs so it follows that many people would availing that option.

This sums it up.

My wife and I are excited to work overseas after being unable to travel since 2019.

We will both be resigning in the near future to move overseas.

No it doesn't. Hyperinflation means that although our BTC is worth more in USD, when we go to exchange our BTC for USD to go on that holiday, we'll need to give up more of our BTC since we need more USD to pay.

It would be much better if there is no hyperinflation. More and more people are moving parts of their money/assets into cryptocurrency. In the long run, holders like us will benefit. We all suffer when there's hyperinflation.

Disclaimer: My wife and I hold a significant amount of BTC in our child's trust fund.

Can someone ELI5 how this is any different to what the current Coinbase API offers? https://developers.coinbase.com/api/v2

Reading through the entire Coinbase Cloud page and even going into the Coinbase Cloud Exchange docs (https://docs.cloud.coinbase.com/exchange/docs) doesn't make it clear what this offers over Coinbase's current API.

I feel like installing a security tool by curling a random script off the internet and piping it into `/bin/bash` is a bit contradictory. Surely there's a better way to install this?

uBlock has always been the first add on I install on any new computer.
