I was invited

I've been playing around with it today and have been super impressed with its ability to generate pretty artful digital paintings. Could have big implications for designers and artists if and when they allow you use custom palettes, etc.

Here's an example from my prompt ("a group of farmers picking lettuce in a field digital painting"): https://labs.openai.com/s/jb5pzIdTjS3AkMvmAlx69t7G

I'm a product designer in SF with MVP designs for a music discovery web app. I would also be interested in any other music-related projects. Email me: hey@2x4.co.

> 50,000 testers representing 207 nationalities

Wait, how many nationalities are there?

It's the same as exchange rates, constantly being recalculated. Though crypotcurrencies are orders of magnitude more volatile. A seller will set their price in USD (or other established fiat), and convert the price to bitcoin at the time of transaction.

As far as cryptocurrencies are concerned, I personally view BTC as a good store of value; it's slow and expensive to transfer compared to other coins.

It's more complicated than this.

They probably could implement it much sooner, but they are waiting for 2 things (I'm speculating here).

1. Larger hashrate, which decreases likelihood of a 51% attack.

2. SegWit2x November hard fork.

Thanks, I'll look into it. My naïve opinion is that a desktop client would be less secure than Coinbase's vault. Hardware wallets are generally unavailable or inflated (Trezor and Nano S). Therefore, I assumed paper wallet was the only option.

How else would I safely keep the private keys?

I would suggest that neither of us have any idea how hard that would be. (Also, they gave a pretty similar announcement, minus the "we might support BCH in the future" bit.)

From my perspective, they are now going to devote a shit ton of engineering effort into supporting BCH withdrawals, which will not provide a source of recurring revenue.

Say what you will about Coinbase, but I really appreciate their willingness to adapt and respond to customer feedback.

I personally didn't want to take on the risk of creating a paper wallet and having to move my small amount of BTC from my Coinbase vault, so this is great news for me.

I get that (currently trying to not abuse unlimited policy).

3 months of unpaid, that's really interesting, I've never heard of that before. What country are you in?

This reminds me, I need to move to Europe.

4 week minimum seems healthy, good on you!

It's a bold (and I'd argue an incorrect) assertion to lead with and without providing evidence or supporting opinions.

French press (~35g of beans) or 2 consecutive double espresso shots in the morning. Another double espresso shot in after lunch.

I drink a fair bit of alcohol; probably 3-10 servings during the week and 10-20 servings most weekends. Not drinking would affect my social life.

Awesome, congrats on your success! What does your fasting look like?

He really sells it with that cheat day. Thanks for the link!

Keto is interesting though it seems like it could be hard with social activities. Have you had any difficulty?

Best of luck!

Sounds interesting. Is the fasting something you do every week or just when trying to lose weight?

I have a modest amount of money in Robinhood. I love the app and they way it has encouraged me to learn about markets.

I started in March of 2016. I was naïve and I made a lot of silly mistakes early on, but I was able to learn a lot of fundamentals when the stakes were low.

I view it more as a gaming app than investing — it's a supplement, not a replacement for investing and asset management.

Yeah, I think this whole thread has less to do with costs and more to do with preference and values. New York is amazing :)

I'm not here to convince anyone that SF is cool. Just sharing my own personal opinion.

FWIW, I have a relatively low "tech" salary, so I don't disagree with you on the relative cost of living.

I understand there are a lot of young professionals here – and you may disproportionately exposed to that demographic – but there is certainly a lot culture and diversity in this city.

I love living in San Francisco. For me, it's a near-perfect city and climate. Obviously it is expensive but I find it completely worth it.

This is a tough question. I'd say it depends on what kind of designer you need!

I'm a product designer in SF, and I work with many amazing designers. I can say that the vast majority of us are not publishing on Dribbble, Behance, etc.

I would recommend posting jobs on Dribbble, however. That's probably the first place I would go if I were looking for a new gig.

Designer News and Angel List are popular. Also Stack Overflow and GitHub for the more technically-oriented designers.

Lastly, I'd recommend word-of-mouth on Twitter. The design community there is pretty robust.

> Financial incentives — including stock options, restricted stock and pensions — are other ways that companies have tried to tie employees to their firms.

I've found vesting periods to be prohibitive enough that I don't even consider these things when negotiating employment.

Also, I'd add that job-hopping (what I'd define as working somewhere less than 12-24 months) seems to have been de-stigmatized – at least in larger tech hubs.

Given the typically early hours, possibly awful conditions, and nature of their jobs, I'd say they're also paid fairly.

Additionally, my assumption is the garbage collection industry is similar to ISPs – meaning options are limited based on location and prices are therefore not as competitive.

Edit: I'd add lack of upward mobility to the first sentence.

Sure, and the customer that wants a website and $25/month website is not typically going to be an ideal client for me.

I've done a bit of freelance web design and development over the past few years, but recently I've found myself referring more and more people to services like Squarespace and Shopify. As potential clients are given more options – especially cheaper ones – of course the industry is going to become more competitive.

Allegations of mechanical doping have been flung around for a while now [0], this is the first confirmed case of a pro cyclist using a small electronic motor hidden inside the bike's frame to assist in pedaling.

Cycling's governing body – the UCI – has an app that reportedly scans frames for electronic motors [1].
