About us: We are building a real-time cloud-based 3D engine-as-a-Service to reduce the pain in building, collaborating on, and deploying 3D content at scale. We are a team of 12, almost entirely technical. Our stack is a combination of C++, Typescript and sprinkle of Go.
Role: Full-stack or Front-end Engineer (Mid to Senior). We are looking for a web dev to help us release our first public product, a web-based collaborative 3D viewer, built on top of our engine.
Stack: Typescript/React/Postgres. 3D or game dev experience is a plus (Unity/Three.js). Need a solid grasp of networking and web performance tradeoffs.
What we're looking for: - An experienced builder with code and projects to show for it. You care about code quality and doing things well. - A product mindset. You have opinions about design, UX and how to build products people love to use. - A curious nature and a desire to tackle hard problems.
Tell us (or better yet, show us), what you've worked on and what your interests are. Contact me at mark at 3dverse.com

We are building a cloud-base real-time 3D engine and are looking for an experienced and passionate network engineer to help us develop network protocols optimized for real-time multiplayer usage. You should have a strong background in high performance C++ and ideally have experience in real-time game networking, such as a networked shooter, RTS, or MMO.
We are currently a team of 10 with an office in Montreal but will consider remote for the right candidate.

It seems like a classic case of the Innovator's Dilemma[1]. We are so economically dependent on carbon fuels that the incentives to develop and adopt renewable energies are not yet strong enough. Shouldn't governments do more to speed up that adoption curve?
On a related note, Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella H. Meadows is one of my favorite books.
In the original Civilization, it was because of a bug. Each leader in the game had an “aggression” rating, and Gandhi - to best reflect his real-world persona - was given the lowest score possible, a 1, so low that he’d rarely if ever go out of his way to declare war on someone.
Only, there was a problem. When a player adopted democracy in Civilization, their aggression would be automatically reduced by 2. Code being code, if Gandhi went democratic his aggression wouldn’t go to -1, it looped back around to the ludicrously high figure of 255, making him as aggressive as a civilization could possibly be.
As the Yale economist Robert J. Shiller puts it "You’re fast. You’re smart. You’ve figured out nobody else understands. You’re with it. And bitcoin has this anti-government, anti-regulation feel. It’s such a wonderful story. If it were only true."[1]
Therefore the bubble will most likely stretch a lot bigger (the current market cap of total crypto is 1-1.5% of US equity) before people get scared. But when they do, the fear will indeed be fueled by negative media coverage which might make the crash swift and brutal.

To me, that lifestyle is only attractive if it can be combined with other fulfilling activities and relationships - which might be in their case, but isn't conveyed through their social media image.
This was in the post-Iraq War context when Freedom fries became a thing. Still, I was baffled. And wondering why I wasn't allowed to buy a beer...
I'd be willing to pay to have a self-hosted version of Gyroscope. Curious if it's on the roadmap.

Would be great to hear Berliners' opinion on what'd they'd like to see there next.
