Dude not paying rent is not the end of the world. Go where you can reduce your expenses to as low as possible - parents house, good friends, whatever. Get unemployment or whatever gov assistance you can get.

Clearly you are doing something wrong in tech, so hedge your bet and get a simple job at Starbucks or something like that for now. Use that to save up some cash so you have some legs to stand on. Early morning and night grind on development and leetcode and get a solid entry job.

Btw you should be getting student loan forgiveness by now, 11 years out of college.

All of what I said above is 100% doable but you have to be stoic and "just do it"... you can't cry and make excuses and say crazy stuff. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and just give it your best shot, you're not gonna fail if you do.

I bet every company will go to a hybrid style setup. Thus requiring less physical space... so corporate RE still down. WFH companies like what? There's really no secret sauce in any of them, doubt their values go up that much.

I don't get why the Trumpers hate Obama so much... he's always come across as well thought out and pragmatic.

Damn what country? Maybe just go for some hikes around and try some mushrooms.

You can't go anywhere? Just drive/rent a car and go somewhere within 2 hours, in nature. Muse on life, hike. Way more "productive" than anything else.

Lol go travel. Why would you waste 3 perfectly good weeks doing the same thing you do all the time for your job?

Hey I liked Buttigieg. But the whole point is the party system creates a coalition. Who better represents your worldview? Vote for that person.

Trump's worldview is destructive and idiotic, so then vote for his opponent.

Biden is fine, he'll return decision-making to normalcy and be a one term President. Then we can try 2 new candidates in 4 years. Imagine the next 4 years with Biden and then with Trump. Which one seems less erratic and dangerous?

Your point is being wasted, and another 4 regressive years of Trump all because you wanted to make a point that won't be heeded or come through at all.

How about the 3rd parties field a candidate people actually want to vote for? Not some fringe ideology.

What kind of fool would vote 3rd party in an election with the gravity of this one?

This isn't the time to make some symbolic stand, it's time to vote Trump out - if that's what you believe in.

So basically it's like a list to an exclusive nightclub. There's 500 limit. You pay money to get your name on the list early, and then you can sell your spot later for more.

This is what a "store of value" is. A way to capture your value and preserve it.

If the blockchain is truly immutable, then Bitcoin could end up being a store of value with the early adopter effect.

Honestly I think that USD or whatever will always have value because you have to pay taxes in it.

A government will always have ultimate control of it's country. When Bitcoin becomes a problem for the US, China, or whatever ultimate power there is in the world... if it comes down to it they can just use their supercomputer to take control of the blockchain and invalidate it.

He's probably just drawing the comparison as a warning. Because when it comes down to it, the CCP has developed a ethnonationalism of it's own. And that's a powerful thing when the rest of the world is actively trying to shed their identity and become multiculti.

China's plan is definitely to absorb countries into their growing economic sphere. Then they absorb countries into their network/techno-sphere by selling communication and surveillance equipment.

This will allow them to assist the leaders in power by swaying public opinion at a whim. Further consolidating control. This pushes out western companies and doesn't allow their capital to operate.

Eventually this "virus" will reach the main western countries and engulf them. The capitalist system will be turned against itself.

In the past, you couldn't automate the managing of perception and access like you can now with a "technosphere" of capabilities that increase by the year.

They exploit weaknesses like the "racial divide" to pit us against each other, to hasten this.

Yup, and you could say that's the strength of a well-lead homogenous country.

That's why although i'm more left-leaning, the constant focus of the left on subgroups being wronged is laughable and such a distraction from the reality of the world. China and their technological superiority and increasing economic sphere doesn't care.

Seriously. There are so many right wing that think they are a paper tiger, and there's so many left CCP apologists that cloud the discussion in their own way.

The West needs a completely unbiased body to release a report to the world about where stuff stands. Nobody wants a conflict. We realize our systems are like two huge tectonic plates about to grind against each other... but let's fix it

Yeah i guess. I don't really know that much about it anyway. I like Java, the IDE is so rich for it. Just makes writing so easy.

I don't get Node JS. It seems like you just need to somehow know the function for a specific version of it, and stuff changes all the time. And there's not really a good auto-suggestion.

You need to know the args, and it just seems "hacky". Like it's good to write something small when you know what functions you use etc... but just not stable for big stuff.

So why do they have farms in china for bitcoin mining?

Yeah but we already coordinate economic activity with big banks and everything, Paypal etc. But the energy cost per transaction is way way less, right?

Yeah but isn't it like, as the number of transactions increase the computing power must increase?

So if you had the world transacting on the blockchain ledger, it would take a crazy amount of computing power just to validate?

How much bitcoin is traded peer to peer vs traded on huge exchanges like Coinbase, Robinhood, etc? Seems pretty centralized to me.

Idk who cares? What would people use that speed for? There's no usecase brother.

I still don't see the point of Bitcoin beyond being a digital gold. And monero for anonymous purchases online.

Every country is still gonna have their currencies, and the most stable country is going to be used as the peg currency. Right now that's USD.

So basically Bitcoin is a digital gold, but the underlying trust mechanism is inefficient. Thus it gets centralized at big nodes, like banks or exchanges.

Thus it becomes basically a digital gold. You might as well have banks offer "Digital Gold, $1000 an ounce!"

Yeah lol. Seems like a ridiculous use of power. And as the number of transactions grow, the use increases right?

Which one did you get? I just want a barebones one for exactly what you're saying.

Of course the pleasurable experiences are part of it. But the lasting changes are from exposing your brain to the new unknown landscape, meeting new people, trying new things. It gets you out of the same mental rut. Routine is a healthy part of life, but so is travel/new pathways.

Going solo is going to let you do this the best. No link to your normal life.

They release the SE (2020) in April. So they hit that smaller but latest phone market, and then they are tapping in again only 6 months later with the 12 mini. A lot of people with the SE (2020) will want to upgrade for the speed, camera, even smaller body etc.

Same. They are kings of curating their marketing timeline to extract every single dollar out of you.

Yeah it's completely useless lol.

All of this buzz so that a bunch of nerds can do speed tests and post them online.

What's the use? Youtube vids a second faster. Upload stuff to instagram .5 sec faster.

Nobody wants tech to be so intrusive in life anyway.

Lol I was at a company before and they had like 50 people build the original system. Not one was left and I was on a team of like 8 people supporting it. In addition, managers and other people on the team were bad and I was junior. What a nightmare.

You should've put more in. 500 is nothing
