Can anybody cut meta off? I don't think you could mass market a device with no access to FB, IG or WS.

Maybe a niche product could do it, but good luck selling a laptop that won't open FB

US Sanctions to Venezuela are directed at the government, pdvsa and banks controlled by the government, not at individuals or companies unrelated to them. There's still a lot of business happening between venezuela and the us

South American here, I interviewed with a lot of local companies out of school. Mind you the highest offer I saw was $1000/month for mid level, also for some reason a lot of interviewers ghosted me (maybe I was not upto their standards of entry level or I failed the tests), so I was feeling like a failure after spending like 2 months job hunting, then it hit me that I could apply to US companies,

One week and one interview later I had a job (applied to like 5 companies max) making $3200/month as entry level.

To be honest I would have taken those local jobs but after such success with us companies I don't think I can afford it anymore.

Anyway If someone needs a frontend dev, just hmu, email on profile

Esa era la mejor era para ese tipo de juegos, entretenidos y se sacaba un rialero, por aqui haciamos lo mismo, con Silkroad y Mu.

Esos de ahorita son diferente, parece hasta macabro. Dan "becas" para que otros "jueguen" y ganen por ellos prometiendoles una parte de la ganancia, eso si, siempre y cuando el nft no caiga.

De vez en cuando conocidos me preguntan que si es bueno entrar en esos juegos nft a todos les digo que ni locos se metan ahi, da mas plata y es mas estable sembrar.

I remember when I played football (like 5 years ago) there were ads in the stores for cleats with chips in it for a lot of tracking, we didn't buy them because we didn't know how to use them so I don't know how they actually worked but the marketing was there (and I suspect the actual product too)

And here I am, in an early stage startup, putting more than 8 hours a day, sometimes weekends and still missing deadlines

"Some years ago, I was lucky enough invited to a gathering of great and good people: artists and scientists, writers and discoverers of things. And I felt that at any moment they would realise that I didn’t qualify to be there, among these people who had really done things.

On my second or third night there, I was standing at the back of the hall, while a musical entertainment happened, and I started talking to a very nice, polite, elderly gentleman about several things, including our shared first name. And then he pointed to the hall of people, and said words to the effect of, “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here? They’ve made amazing things. I just went where I was sent.”

And I said, “Yes. But you were the first man on the moon. I think that counts for something.”

And I felt a bit better. Because if Neil Armstrong felt like an imposter, maybe everyone did. Maybe there weren’t any grown-ups, only people who had worked hard and also got lucky and were slightly out of their depth, all of us doing the best job we could, which is all we can really hope for."
