I wouldn't sell any imo. if anything his conviction should have grown. sell now for what? to buy back higher in 4 years? diversifying in assets that historically perform worse would not make me sleep better tbh esp considering the events on the horizon for btc... nation states buying, US strategic reserve potential, microstrategy issuing 10b stock proposal, etf's buying at an alarming rate. Way too much happening imo to sell at the precipice of what very well could be the end of consumer friendly pricing for btc.

okay I don't comment on here often, can check my post history, but absolutely would not sell your bitcoin any time soon considering we have a pro crypto president and have an approx 40% chance of a bitcoin strategic reserve within the first 100 days. terrible advice tbh.

Exactly. I'm in a completely different field than the demographic of HN users; however, easy apply does give me the ability to apply to a bunch of random positions at various tiers. Now I've never had an offer from LinkedIn and a handful of interviews out of the 500+ applications but it does give me the the ability to apply quickly. For cool companies I find that have jobs I am not qualified for I just book mark them into my companies bookmark and periodically check or reach out to a recruiter.

Yeah sadly I started browsing reddit in 2011 when the f7u12 memes and subreddit were popular and it really has gone down in quality and the people posting like you mentioned has changed drastically. I can't wait for the day when a new forum experience replaces it.

I know more people affected than unaffected. I can easily count 15-20 people who were laid of or furloughed -- including myself.

Work in entertainment marketing (theatrical trailers and promos) as a finishing coordinator (uprezzing, overcutting, versioning with different dated cards, exporting different specs for different platforms, etc) and out whole industry has essentially been furloughed. It sucks and I don't think it will be temporary, I think a lot of shops will close.

Im doing alright. Feel like I've plateaued in my current position. Work isn't meaningful nor am I learning as much if at all from when I first started. I work closely with one other person who has a few more years experience. Boss is constantly telling me to learn and absorb as much as I can from this person. It's a bit insulting since I've been teaching this person more the past few months than I've learned from them. Not only that I do believe the reason I know more is because I am open to learning new things whereas this person learned something one way and believes that is the only way to do something. I've been applying to new jobs but no bites. So it's a bit frustrating really contemplating putting in my notice and take my chances finding something else with no distractions. My bosses current vision for my role and my expectations of where I see myself being in a year or two don't align.

How is lambda school? Is it still regarded as being one of the better boot camps

Ideally I would want to go for UX DESIGN. Any thoughts or input would be good. Thank you

I agree. Usually from 9 - 12:30 is my most productive time. Once lunch hits and I start socializing I am just not nearly as productive. I may get an hour or two or productivity in between 1 and 6pm but it's not nearly enough as in the morning. The worst is the last hour or two of the day. I've checked out and there's usually not much work so I end up just sitting idly browsing the internet.

I work in hollywood (editing television/movie trailers)... at least our agency is editing off of imacs. I can't speak for others but shared storage (Avid Nexis) is very costly. We transcode to proxy material, cut with proxies, and then uprez/conform to hd, uhd, etc. No one, at least I can't think of any agencies, editing higher than 1080p. Hell you even end up editing in lores super compressed mp4 for some projects.

The new ones aren't great you need a broadcast monitor that will show how things look for broadcast and not a computer.

honestly so crazy. I, like many others, dedicated so much time to what and was truly heart broken when it disappeared. Spent countless hours, days, weeks interviewing people. Countless hours, days, weeks rippings and uploading to reach TM. Made some good friends and some I'll never cross paths with again. A true shame. Sadly what came next, although good, will never be the same and I do think it's because of how easy it is so stream music.

EDIT: the loss of the forums, knowledge, metadata is truly heartbreaking... i really can't think about it too much
