Social reproduction of the elites. Which is the advanced version of kids do the same job as their parents
Getting with parents with money and connection is a huge cheat code. While some people have to work to pay their rent at university, some other have their parents buying them an appartement. Guess who can afford to volunteer in a political party, do art or develop software on the side ? Some people do have family with connection which means they'll be able to meet the right person to finance their project while many other stop at this step. It's why it's hard to join the elite when your family isn't part of the elite for multiple generations.
And many immigrant end-up at the lower-level of the social pyramid, their kids grow up with parents who have no money, no connection, and sometimes don't even know the language. which make them harder for them to climb the "social ladder" a generation latter their kids don't have nay kickstart, so it's not surprising that very few are represented in position in power, even if their family has been around for over 100 years. And without any surprise the one who do often have been part of the elite before immigrating.
No idea how law works where you are. But having a folding table might require some different licencing compared to just standing up and giving pamphlet which in democratic countries is a right.
2-3 month unemployed, is the opportunity to take a break, move with some personal projects and take the time to find a nice job. Also it's typically covered by both severance pay you got from your previous job and unemployment insurance. So it's not big deal financially speaking (while resigning from a job you hate would make you loose your unemployement rights)
Focus on university course over "private certication" which are often full of bullshit and paid by companies anyway. The foundation you learn is what stays valid no matter what's the technique you use.
To give a word on agile, it's about having shorter development cycles and more intermediate release which are used by actual users. It works well in prototyping phase (when you have proper tools) and in software. However, many PM end-up making agile heavier more complicated/heavy than regular cycle with daily stand-up meeting and boards full of post-it. I would advise going in these type of projects without some technical background.
Also note that while project management looks cool (and is a way to grow your carrer quickly) it's a field where you deal with a lot of bullshit out of your control. A person is sick for the week ? How do your re-organize the project ? A truck delivering a critical part has an accident ? How do you deal with it The certification lab asks finds that your cable at the European fire safety norm but not the US ones (or the other way around ? ) adding two month delay to change everything ? How do you announce the customer that the final delivery is postponed due to some paperwork ? You often end-up sitting between the engineer knowing what needs to be done, the upper management cutting down the budget and the customer wanting more. So not a job for everyone
I still don't get how is Telsa 20 times bigger than Toyota.
It's great thanks to Musk, Telsa could become a viable auto maker which in the current industrial context is already amazing, especially with production in place with expensive labour (Which is a great thing too)
However, it's not like other auto manufacturer would disappear from the market and it seems easier to add an electric system over an existing basis than to build a new car from scratch, let alone Chinese trying to enter the global market (and BYD is growing quickly in Europe) and Indian which will do the same at the point.
So not really a surprise that Tesla sales start to drop, especially when adding that nazi did good car isn't a reason to support nazi
In a post apocalyptic future, nature took over a large city, tree grows among few empty wrecked car. A magnificent deer crosses the street in the middle of ruined building. The street pavement is almost covered by mosh and grass. The picture somehow feels like part of the Chernobyl zone.
Every PC can be a server, it used to be common with earlier online gaming and VoIP apps like teamspeak to have someone using their PC as the server.
Nowadays, with the cloud and light device like Chromebooks it feels like back in the 80's where there was a couple of server, and people would use cheap low tech terminal to display the console where they work from while all the computing power was located on the servers.
Main criteria is Has walk-in slots or relatively quick availabilities and is either close from home or close from work. This usually drastically reduce the option. While I am lucky enough to be able to afford "Extra-costs"and "private doctor" I would prefer to see doctor applying the legal cost and public hospital over private clinics, but sometimes going private means seing a specialist tomorrow rather than next week. (Or in 3 month for rare specialities)
Nowadays, most countries, have some form of centralized medical record, so if you consent to it, and if your doctor use-it (Public hospital most likely, private hospital sometimes, old 80 year old doctor nope)
Which looks like a bug rather than a feature, the level of deflation bitcoin has make it an usable as a money.
I am rather having regular raise while my mortgage stay the same thanks to inflation than seeing my pay diminish thanks to deflation while my mortgage stays the same
GPS receiver are passive device, they do not transmit your position. However, we've seen in Ukraine and middle-east that GPS are easy to jam.
As other have stated ham radio are simple to build, long range, and reliable. However, once you emmit it's fairly easy to pinpoint your position
I am not sure why Local peer to peer network haven't been a thing. i am old enough to remember the era where we had network cable hanging from the windows of student residency to build a kind of building-wide LAN, looks so much easier with wifi
Be careful with encrypted mobile phones, The Enro-chat network let the police listen to drug-lord in clear for like 2 years leading to a massive arrest. I believe it requewstd a huge work for the police to arrest them, but they've done-it Encryption may still help though, just don't over estimate the budget government can put to break-it if needed (let alone all the backdoors in commercial-grade devices).
Pigeon, dead-drop, and courrier are very efficient, it doesn't look as cool as space hacker. but this works
Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two
Technically, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim worship the same "God". And have a big corpus of common texts and prophet (at the point the Koran talks a lot about Jesus) their religious differences are mostly about "interpretation" but they have way more similiarities than conservative of either religion like to admit
the trick is that the big block of Abrahamic monotheism is like the major monotheist religion. Then you have various polytheist pantheon having a mother earth figure but I don't know them enough to know how major/female would be amateratsu or patchamama Neo-Pagan also tend to worship a Godess However, it's a kind of made-up underground religion more than a major traditional one.
Nowadays, if I need to let the engine run for an hour, I can go to a michelin star restaurant for the same price. (OK it's an over statement, but there is definitely cheaper and more optimal way to cook a meal on the road)
The way I would understand it is the good old You are the chosen ones, and you need to absolutely get XXXX by killing monsters to prevent the doom of ZZZZ
So just a way to make PC use their ressources. It's the kind of stuff which work in old-school RPG were ressource attrititon is a full part of the game. Modern RPG tend to drift away from the fight monsters in dungeon and removed or simplified the ressource management aspect (I love how Blade in the Dark let you declare your equipment on the fly rather than having long discussion about what you bring, save a lot of time for the players)
First question, why would we want monetization? people do amateur theatre, short movies for fun, volunteer do coach kids sport for fun so the whole society doesn't have to be commercial, and even Wikipedia is mostly ran by volunteers.
I mean sure, federated instance and some authors may get government grant for culture (which would be better spend than for commercial movies, or all the government money spent in AI) but not monetizing won't prevent people from contributing
