I built this game to simulate how different decisions can impact popularity, the economy, and re-election chances for the oval office.

Please do not interpret this as any kind of political commentary! Most of the relationships / mechanics were AI generated.

WTF is often wrong, and actually, I don't think your answer in the 2 year old thread is correct

This. No one is getting released from prison because of this decision. It has been worded in such a way that makes it sound like it will have far more impact, which is of course intentional and political.

Interesting... given that this is actually in use for the Australian Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Exchanges, this smart contract language could become a major player and continue to get corporate adoption, especially now that it's open sourced.

I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to use SQL for everything. If you are constantly inserting records and don't need relational structures, DynamoDB might be a better choice. DynamoDB scales quickly and cheaply, so it's potentially the preferable option if it works in your architecture.

I use goodreads to keep track of the books I want to read, books I am reading, and books I have read.

Unless you do a masters degree in Data Science, AI, CS, Statistics, or a related field, a masters degree only serves as proof that you are intelligent and work hard. Someone without a masters degree can still have those attributes, but they would just have to prove it some other way.

For example, if you have a bachelors degree from a top engineering school (MIT, Cal Tech, Stanford, Berkeley, etc.) you have proven that you are intelligent and can work hard.

People without a masters degree, but more business experience, bring a different perspective, and are often more business results focused, and potentially work more collaboratively than an individual who just graduated from a masters program.
