That award, mentioned in your post, caries a lot of weight. Hopefully, others won't think it a tongue-in-cheek remark. I wonder if those who didn't receive the award have a feeling of floss? How does one extract that information, unless they have some special pull?

Musk buys DodgeCoin "for his kid"; goes up 16%; driven by his groupies.
Now says: "... too much concentration among major holders".
He'll "support you" if you sell now.
In other news: Canada ok's "worlds first kleptocurrency ETF"; an "unmanaged" fund.
SEC has previously passed on an ETF due to concerns of "market manipulation".

On the other hand, you can't store hydro power. But I agree, the heat alone could grow a lot of vegetables.

Quote: SEC has previously passed on an ETF due to concerns of "market manipulation". I don't know whether to hoot in derision or look away in embarrassment at such a statement from the same clowns that did nothing about Bernie Madoff after having been repeatedly warned. And the idiot whom Biden just appointed to run it, Gary Gensler, was the former head of the CFTC. They were told for years about manipulation in the forex, gold, and silver futures markets, but found nothing. Later, several major banks were charged with precisely that kind of manipulation; the most recent settlement was with JPM, which had to fork over $900M. Less than what they gained by it; no criminal charges for the execs, naturally; and no restitution for the small traders who were harmed. But penny ante manipulation compared to what central banks and other actors in the "official sector" do all the time.

Reagan appointed Greenspan
Clinton let him run amok at the fed for 8 years
Bush continued the mistake.
Look where that got us. We'd be ridiculous to believe none of them knew better.
The truth is, all those {elephants} - "elected" or not, work for the same people, and it ain't you or me.

Not sure what you're talking about here. But regulations are often written, at least in part, by the regulated, who are "consulted". They still have to comply but have the means to do so, whereas the overhead is far more onerous for smaller competitors and new entrants.

Yeah... time to whine a little bit, but since I started programming and studying CS i feel like I don't have any life left. It's not like I had great life before and something to miss, but even for an introverted and book-loving person that I am I feel like programming is consuming my soul entirely. I don't even have time to rest, because it would mean the end for my degree. If I study for two or three hours in a day it's actualy me resting. If I don't spend at least 8 hours a day on studying, it's over for me. I'm gonna be kicked out of the school and I don't even have chance to get the job with my current skills. It's impossible for me to survive this degree studying just 3 hours a day.I feel also this constant pressure to learn things above the school curriculum to stay relevant on the market because I don't feel like I'm going to be able to do my job after I get my degree. This feeling that I have to reschool myself again and again to stay in this business makes me sick. I really enjoy programming and it seems like I have predispositions to do this job but I feel this software engineering is crazy (!) If I would study that much for example medical degree I already would be a doctor and at least I would know that I can do my job after these years of studying, and than go back home and read a book, meet with friends, have some time off. But this is not how it will be if I work as a programmer. If I work as a programmer, I have to go back home and read another tutorial of another new language and another framework, and study another new technology, another field of CS, becuase if I don't I can't do my job anymore, and I'm irrelevant and replace by 18-year's old python-linux-algorithm-AI- virtuoso I feel like Neo, trapped in matrix and don't have any contact with the real world.I became even more socialy backward

It happens to all. I lost 2 semesters due to that because I had the impression of "not learning that much" and hence I thought "I am not going to pass" and wanted to avoid wasting one of my 3 chances to do the exam.
Member 14971499 wrote: This feeling that I have to reschool myself again and again to stay in this business makes me sick That's going to happen anyways, you will need to continue learning the whole life if you want to stay "on edge", even if you only specialice in C# there is new things coming constantly, so you need to keep up-to-date
Member 14971499 wrote: I really enjoy programming and it seems like I have predispositions to do this job that's the most important thing
Member 14971499 wrote: but I feel this software engineering is crazy (!) have you not been lurking here? That should be pretty obvious looking at some of us

Because the most important is not all what you know. The most important is the set of skills.
It is impossible to know about all. There is a lot of damned good programmers here and even they can't keep track on everything.
And additionally, depending on the company you are probably not going to do the same over and over again, so you will need to adapt on the fly.
And that's what is really important. The ability to learn by yourself, to think analytically, to understand processes, to see / to find logic in things, to be creative searching for solutions...
My technical knowledge is pretty average, on the one side, because I forget things when I don't use them and on the other hand because I think it is better to be apprentice of many things that master on one thing.
But careful, I am not telling you only need to learn "enough" to accomplish the requirements of a task.
I am telling that, if you have to do something, try to give your best, not only for the project but to be proud of your work. That will imply to learn about the topic of the day and with time will come experience. That is what matters.
Member 14971499 wrote: I feel like Neo, trapped in matrix and don't have any contact with the real world.I became even more socialy backward That's something you really have to try to avoid. We all are more or less socially restrained but only because you can meet people personally, it doesn't mean you can't have social contacts.
You need balance, if not you are going to get burned out before even getting started.
