So, in theory, the bill has the printed Satoshi value and doesn't need a smart phone to verify. Rotlmao.
In practice, the company gets hacked, loses all the keys, and now all these bills in the wild look legit but have no value. Also, they will be counterfeited like all other bills, except easier because thier not a government mint.
Storing the info isn't enough, and forcing every business to adopt the same specification is unrealistic. I think only my high tech dentist has anything digital.
> "Right now, the tritium used in fusion experiments like ITER, and the smaller JET tokamak in the UK, comes from a very specific type of nuclear fission reactor called a heavy-water moderated reactor."
You litterally just need to make more of these heavy-water moderated reactors, which are rare and approaching end of life, but certainly you can build more of them if it was the difference between having endless energy or not.
If your exhausting yourself at a desk for 8 hours x5 until complete burn out...well...then you go from writing 80% to 0%. How does that help the company? It really doesn't, and your overall average drops real fast (even though your not there).
Others maybe already get this (or live like it anyway) and spend less time typing code. Taking care of yourself so you can continue to contribute 4-5x of others is far more beneficial for the company in the long run.
Think about the "10x" companies - FANNG if you will - they have bicycles for people to go between campusus's, entire gyms, foosball, etc, etc. They seem like insane perks to the outside world, but it's what give balance to the 10x'ers whom work there - and they do it on company time.
Good luck!
- Try documenting your processes and thinking to get to the right code answer. Like a company coding manual. This way it scales your knowledge rather than being stuck as the 'doer'.
- Consider taking on different challenges, like management, either at your company or another company.
- Reflect on what it would be like to really be in a room with other 10x developers - you will all think you have the right answer which is different from each other. Does that really sound like fun to work through on the daily? It was fun when you weren't so sure you were right, it gets less fun the more sure you are.
- Most round B/C startups have ~50 developers. If you have 350, you're in a massive machine. You may think your 10x everywhere, but it's possible your only 10x in your locality, where you know the entire code base. It may simply be time for new challenges at a new company.
- Ask if you can start writing for some open source project you like (new or existing) as "developer relations" for the company in some way. Yes, you will need to reduce your in house tickets - but it will keep you happy and working and contributing and still probably doing 50% of the work. And the company gets other benefits from it.
- Along the same lines, you can start writing technical articles to publish as dev relations/marketing. Theres a lot of value in those seo posts for a lot of companies.
Theres like a million ways to go with this, but hopefully these ideas help a bit. Best of luck and I hope you find some meaningful company to hang out with.
Declaring it as personal opinion would not likely absolve him. 'Funding Secured' was also a personal believe, from the SEC standard it had to be substantiated in a meaningful way though, or gets fined.
In terms of adaptation, once someone had access to a computer, with few exception people found some utility in their daily lives for it.
IMHO, folks who have access to crypto are not finding any immediate use for it in their daily lives. And further, it doesn't seem to scale very well. Sure, enough coins exist, but they can't be transacted without massive fees. Ergo, doesn't scale currently.
If some breakthrough solves the scaling problem while retaining it's decentralized nature, it may gain some utility.
The difference is, old people are the only one who knew it at the time. And now you are old. Congrats!
He also like to upgrade that server close to edge, and if that goes south, he want to rebuild and bring his static site up quickly, along with his other projects.
Either way though, it's a great article I'm glad the author took to write. His docker practices are wonderful, wish more engineers would use them.

Ergo, make sure employees retain some control.
We got hosed when they started charging "a lot", and then not sharing the product that we helped finance to build when we bought our indefinite license.
For people thinking that they shouldn't have to support new OS's, I think that's bullshit. they are still in business. they have ample product that can work in modern os's. they have a business because we early adopters were made a promise and we agreed, that's why we paid $60-$100 to begin with. Then less than a couple years into we got fucked and told "we're no longer building that product that has been upgraded 6 times, just this identical one over here that cost a monthly subscription".
They are thiefs, and they should go bankrupt imho.
They voted to keep the clock still, but used the wrong time.
I just wish the movie Idiocracy would stop turning into a f*&cking documentary. Is that so much to ask?!?!?!
personally, i just want to punch the moving clock in the face. it nearly killed me last year when I was just starting to get an exercise routine at the end of winter, and then it sent me back into the dark by an hour, completely fucking up my schedule. i absolutely blame many of my problems on these flip flopping clocks, and I do not think i am alone.
