So what happened? Why aren't we in a world of abundant energy?

> already good enough

Are they? I was under the impression they required some sort of subsidy and/or restrictions on natural gas production to be competitive.

> management... all come from eng for a few levels until you start hitting VP roles.

And then where do they come from? Ivy league MBAs or IB?

No shade at those guys, just curious. I'm early-career and I've got interests in finance and programming. It seems like I see fewer engineers running the show, as if committing to programming as a career tops-out at a certain point because you're missing certain experience. Though, I don't know enough to know what that special sauce is.

Someone in the thread said "it's the same in finance vs crypto now".

I wonder how tapering and rate hikes will affect this relationship. I have dabbled in weird edge-case-crypto territory, and even with all the scams, there's so much cool stuff and promise. But I don't know if it's sustainable given the overall economic context we're heading into.

Would you do a guy a favor and lay some links or at least breadcrumbs such that I might start learning my history? I'm picking up programming at a relatively advanced age (31) and don't have the time to do deep hunts for stuff like I did when I was in my 20s BUT I want to keep security right in mind as I write everything I make.

Were the records of payment a method to keep track of who might be using it?

you're doing something neat with your Us but I, unfortunately, came of age after lots of the cool times were over. All the hackers got jobs in industry and it feels like if I poke anything that isn't hackthebox I'll either A. have the FBI up my ass immediately or worse, B. have created a record somewhere of having committed one felony or another that will appear at an appropriate time for someone else and inappropriate time for me.

Can you suggest some news sources?

You can't post something like this and not post the video.

Waterwheel, then, no?

Is it even really relevant anymore?

depends. It could ripple into the legacy financial system. If that happens, we could see some really onerous regulations that prevent innovation.

Can you direct me somewhere to learn more about Gatling's ethos?

How does one go about finding investors in the first place? A couple buddies who weren't into tech are putting together a product and haven't even considered outside funding because everything seems so opaque to them. The whole plan is to try and incrementally make enough money from early sales while working out of a garage to scale up. They're a couple of midwesterners who have never had any connection to the tech or finance industries.
