What’s the virtue signal in not wanting to travel to a country that might arbitrarily decide to illegally deport you to a different country other than your home country or detain you indefinitely?

It's apparently been done, but the amount generated was very small and it's not clear it could be scaled up to any useful amounts.

"I know it’s not going to cancel because it’s a robot"

I won't be at all surprised when they start calculating their profits in real-time, if they aren't already, and cancelling or delaying trips that are deemed unprofitable in the moment. They are robots after all.

Living cheaply is relative though. I have no idea if this person’s living cheaply is doable on my current savings so it’s meaningless to me until I have some hard numbers.

I think you're talking about parental leave which is a different thing and another area where the US falls short compared to other developed countries. This is to provide care for your kids after you would have gone back to work in any regular scenario until the kids are old enough to start school.

Maybe he should try to publish a game on his own or with some friends for iOS/Android or on something like Steam? The act of getting something out there can inspire further ideas and may open other doors.

I don't know where it's going but as of this moment Meta at least is still using them and it doesn't look like they're going to change anytime soon. Source: I have an upcoming interview with them. If I'm to believe what they tell me, you're not just scored on how well you can implement a solution, but how well you can explain in real time what your approach will be before you start coding and how well you communicate during the implementation. I was told to overcommunicate if anything even to the level of correcting typos. I don't think LLM's can do that yet.

"Do you want to be a surgeon? = Do you want to do the same procedure 15 times a week for the next 35 years?"

Compared to trying to implement vague feature requests with no clear solutions under arbitrary deadlines and for probably a lot more pay and respect in general? Yes.

No, but it can set the stage for being lucky later on. Warren Buffet calls it winning the ovarian lottery.

That's interesting. How long have you been flying?

Looks good!

I was going by this:

https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

Specifically:

"Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software."

I guess there are religious texts, and then there are the interpretations of those texts.

If you follow agile one of the tenets is getting working code to users fast in order to get feedback sooner rather than later. Yes, the things you say are where the bottlenecks typically lie, but it's a cycle so the faster you can get working code out the sooner you can enter the other parts of the cycle. In theory anyway.

Put as much money into my 401K as I was legally allowed to.

My first iOS app was a button that played a flushing sound. I was trying to replicate the device used by women in Japanese restrooms to mask their, um, noises. Apple rejected it as being too simple and I didn't care to expand it to make it past gatekeepers at that point so it never got to the App Store.

Look up what's available under the local Parks & Recreation department. They often have cheap classes and activities, local pool schedules, park info, etc.

I’m not saying they don’t but I am saying looking at sheer numbers of deaths as a comparison is misleading because it’s the details of what kinds of deaths that make the difference. Your linked article even mentions this: “ While the relationship between wind turbines and different types of bird populations, particularly apex birds, is understudied, there is some evidence that turbines can hurt those populations.”

By sheer numbers, yes, but the kinds of birds killed are different. Larger, slower reproducing birds such as eagles, condors, etc. are more at risk being killed by wind turbines because deaths in those groups have a much larger effect whereas cats kill a much larger number of birds but they tend to be smaller, faster reproducing species and as such their numbers overall aren't as much at risk.

Is this more of a performance anxiety issue, e.g. more in the moment or anticipating a situation than a generally constant feeling? If so, propranolol might be useful on off-label on as as-needed basis as a way to diminish the physical symptoms enough to get you "over the hump" in any particular episode.

Dr. Oz is a huge quack but also a very accomplished doctor, how did he get past the AMA?

In the article the person said they had been getting the feral hog meat from a hunter who had gifted him raw meat several times and that he handled it with his bare hands while preparing it and then cooking it an eating it. The doctors surmised it was most likely his handling it with bare hands that was the vector of transmission, not eating the cooked meat.

Maybe try and contact someone familiar with fighting patent trolls as this may very well be what you're dealing with: https://www.newegg.com/insider/newegg-vs-patent-trolls-when-...

Maybe just read the article through the archive link instead?

Try the commons or library at a local university?

Someone of your caliber could probably get some fractional job gigs, for example: http://fractionaljobs.io/

I'm curious about this as well so I took a look at the publisher's site and found some info: https://rawfury.com/talk/ under "Game Pitches". Would still like to hear from OP on any specifics though.

Probably very complex. Closest I've seen was Sony's Qrio https://robotsguide.com/robots/qrio though that was over 20 years ago so maybe some advances have been made in further miniaturization since then.

Résumé/CV: Upon request but same as LinkedIn

Benefits: Lots of things to do recreationally/hobby-wise. Pretty much any interest you may have there’s a good chance you’ll find some group doing it. First class restaurants, etc.

People are generally friendly/laid-back. A friend from Romania remarked that it felt very European to her compared to anywhere else she knew in the US.

Overall a beautiful area to live in despite the “doom loop” rhetoric you hear.

Drawbacks: Cost of living. Housing is expensive. Utilities are expensive. Groceries are probably on par with other areas. So depending on if your assignment is going to pay for your relocation and living expenses it may or may not be worth it from that aspect.

From the textbook's website, it looks like they're coming out with a v2 soon to match the second edition and the course is available through UC Berkeley's open enrollment.
