If you don't have a partner/parents at home you are less likely to cook yourself and eat more processed foods. People are getting more lonely and eat more ultraprocessed foods because of it.

Apple is more powerful monetarily than most states though.

+1 on D. It even has contracts for members.

There are more than enough tech-savy interested startups that would love to fill the void left by Meta, Instagram, TikTok & co. I would not be surprised if social media becomes state-operated infrastructure at some point, as it is so crucial to everyone. Social media without ads paid by taxes.

I thought that was the reasoning behind location locks with quite a few cloud providers, like Firebase for example.

YES! I've been waiting for this. Current starlink systems are a) region-locked (communicate to the same ground station) and b) require a still surface. This is great :-)

Protip, if you aimlessly cycle in the city, follow a river so you don't have to look at the map all the time!

Really good article.

> You don’t have to explain how you’re choosing elements. We’ll just assume you can make it work somehow.

Very interesting remark. The way I think about it now after reading your article is: If you prove something with the axiom of choice, all you need to do is provide an ordering to get practical results from it. If you fail to do so, oh well.

That being said, I don't think you need R (the reals) for practical applications, countably infinite sets like IQ (intervals over Q) are enough and the well-ordering rule doesn't seem paradoxical anymore (countably infinite sets can be ordered as there is a bijection to N).

Example: Pi can be approximated arbitrarily close with a lower and upper bound on Q. The functions used to derive the lower and upper bound with arbitrary precision (also a number in Q) are Pi in this sense

Mini question: Isn’t there a lot of sand on the bottom of the oceans and we’re just running out of easily accessible sand?

I wonder if this will become a trend. Small perks for stockholders to encourage customers to invest.

looked like nice times.

I got rejected from many behavioral interviews. In a similar vein, the main thing that helped me was the realization that I had to work on my personality as a whole and then the interviews automatically got better. Especially making projects that showed that I cared about contemporary issues was a big plus.

In general: you want to be very humble and appreciative but also enthusiastic about the role. Try to talk about a project/hobby that intersects with the work they do. Try to start off average but once they get to know you, you want to be more friendly/likable (don’t give it your all from the start, it might make you look desperate). Also sometimes it’s not your behavior & there’s nothing you can do but to find another role. In my experience I always found a better job when I was looking for longer so it’s all good.

Yea but they tend to maximise profit. I was invited to join a swiss VC group and the way they do it is you don't get to have an idea. You do market analysis and form groups during 1 year of the scholarship and then build the product with a pyramid scheme return.

If you have your own idea it's believed that you love the idea a little too much unfortunately.

Being able to hack together code without formal education gives you a very unique skill imho. It’s not the same skill as writing large code but just as valuable and maybe even rarer as you can’t really learn how to hack things together.

Isn't this the same place everywhere that has a meritocratic system? In Japan/South Korea it's the final test at high school, in Switzerland it's the 1st year of university, etc.

I prefer the system in Switzerland, because everyone gets a shot at studying in the university but only those who can pass the exams can continue studying. Of course it means that the entire university experience is high pressure but it's more meritocratic, since different high schools have different standards for a good grade.

Date an envious depressed person. This will make you empathetic very quickly.

Jokes aside, to feel empathy without ever having suffered greatly is hard/impossible. Instead you might be able to express sympathy, which is better anyways.

It’s a sims 4 type character generator, no AI needed.

Here's what I know: They made the game Oquonie together and I believe they earned a lot of money from doing that. Also they got the idea of living on a sailboat from talking to someone in a bar. Living on a sailboat is not more expensive than living in a city with these real estate prices we have. I think you need to calculate about 10% of the original price of the boat for upkeep each year.

Location: Switzerland

Remote: Yes, if necessary

Willing to relocate: Preferred but corona.

Technologies: MSc CS ETH Zurich, fresh grad. Can learn most technologies on the job, made sure I did a very practical/general MSc. Feel comfortable in augmented/virtual reality, databases, information security and recommender systems or other ML tasks.

I would say I’m a software engineer at heart and don’t mind delving into new topics/learn on the job.
