Your first book was my like my bible, used many of the concepts when building gomacro.ai, at the same time found it so easy to get sucked into non-lean methodology. Very hard these days to come up with a sound idea, so many people building things that nobody asked for to begin with and in the age of AI its even more so the case. Best of luck with the new one, will give it a read!

All that work and you could have just bought a white noise machine on amazon for 25 bucks and been done, why?!

New comment by jamisteven in "Accepting US car standards would risk European lives"

"Yet, EU vehicle safety regulations have supported a 36% reduction in European road deaths since 2010. By contrast, road deaths in the US over the same period increased 30%, with pedestrian deaths up 80% and cyclist deaths up 50%." They seem to think that the two are correlated, they are definitely not. The US is like the wild west compared to the EU, especially as it pertains to traffic. Americans take laws as mere suggestions, where in Europe the law is the law and you follow the rules, especially in Germany / Austria / Switzerland. We also allow people to drive on the roads with super old, broke down, and unserviced cars with missing bumpers or things clearly falling off, like its no big deal. Again, they are grasping at straws suggesting their auto build quality has lowered their death rate while increasing ours, its ridiculous.

Gov creates program ripe for exploitation by wealthy foreigners > foreigners exploit program > US citizens take cut of said exploitations.

Wow yea, shocking.

I would argue that it is importation, rather than exportation.

tbh I hate this approach of up-skilling / free trainings, all they are really after with this is squeezing every last bit of juice out of you so they can continue to consolidate job roles and make you do more with less, instead of hiring SME's for specific things, they have a jack of all trades working on an endless amount of items that use to require a team of 10+ people to do. Especially in tech roles.

Its crazy that people prior to this thought this was some kind of conspiracy when it was so blatantly obvious who blew it up. Ask anyone working in commodities trading who blew it up, they all knew exactly who it was. The US had the most to gain and they even told us on 2 different occasions thats they would do it.

Nonsense, they have been tracking this thing since before it hit US airspace, through Alaska and Canada, they know exactly where it is and can take it out at any time they want.

I don’t believe it is. I’ve been on a similar regimen minus the metformin for some time and the supplements he takes and the formula followed is fairly well researched with dozens of bio hackers across the world doing similar. The metformin alone is known to reverse aging significantly. Even myself just taking Nicotinamide Ryboside I have noticed a massive difference in everything from skin complexion to eye site to energy levels and improved cognition.

This is one of those things that just drives people out of tech and leaves the ones still in it super frustrated. So many buzzwords and PR non-sense from non-tech mgmt.

The money for devs in Switzerland is in: 1. Electronic Trading - Java / C / Python 2. Pharma

If you are trying to optimize your take home pay, first stop is changing canton to one with lower income Tax ie: Zug, but would look into getting out of the Pigeon hold that is Android especially if you plan on staying in Switzerland.
