Execs can have bigger voids due to gardening leave, non competes so it looks OK. But honestly because you can (in theory) lie on your CV it ain’t worth worrying about. So the scenario where you die because you run out of money and need a job because of a gap can be remediated that way. Change the dates or something.
Every contract has some crap in for what seems like unlikely scenarios. If you can’t negotiate it out it is either that or the highway. If these startups could get YC funding they probably would have. So for some it is accept a possible imperfect contract or back to employment. Employment itself being full of contracts with crap clauses as well as common law itself having crap. Show me the perfect contract!
Would have been nice for the bankruptcy company (what is the term… administrator? receiver?) to try to sell the portfolio of investments as-is to another VC. This may have both kept the startups alive and got them more $ overall for creditors. Maybe this would have been more doable in 2020!
Although the self hosting thing doesn’t make it an origin in my book. More of a quine? The first Linux release would be the original. As for aboriginal I don’t think the metaphor even works.
Psychologist? Without being ageist :-) I think later in life once you been around the block and got some scars is a good time to be one (of course the formal training and education is 99%) but experience means something. As a bonus you can eventually earn what you were as a developer (probably more in Australia where I am if you are location flexible, for example happy to fill a position somewhere remote)
I think this meets your requirements. It is in danger of AI replacement though. Which would be sad. But reckon there is 20 years of red tape to cut before we get there.
But if you don’t want to talk to people and be on a schedule then carpentry might be a good one. The sort where you make things as oppose to fix architraves in old houses.
AI plus machinery could make “home made” looking stuff but cheapos will keep going to ikea and there will still be a market.
If I didn’t need to make much money and just stay occupied probably do walking tours for free in untouristy places (think the “boring” countryside between cities that ain’t in any guidebooks) or just for a bit of cash walk people’s dogs at the park.
Robots may eventually do these things but to a dog a robot won’t smell like a human so they are the last to be fooled. I imagine in 2050 everyone will have a dog (bred to be small and generally dosile and easy to train) to sniff people for bot detection.
I meant polynomial time can in practical terms stomp computers even if you are allowed to time travel to a future point in moores law. Maybe n^2 is enough but need to do the math! The derivative is 2n so seems like it depends on n and the problem and of course the constants.
Or maybe human life is just too short to wait for the “42”
In reality if you have O(N^1000000) that is still going to be a killer for our exponential increasing computers. For any N you can wait for computation to catch up but N*2 will stomp you for quite a while.
Also in this case I suspect they needed to learn proper takeoff procedure. Since you can’t practice dying more than once the mitigation has to be avoidance (in addition to the stall practice you mentioned)
