You used the plural "passwords", what makes you think there are multiple?
The people I have in mind sometimes get confused with basic iPhone functionality like Maps and CarPlay. I would think 1password is the solution but honestly a physical notebook is probably more their speed.
> Initial allocations will open within the near-term future. For the founding investors (as we call the first clients), we also offer a portfolio review to align your portfolio with your long-term goals, a direct line to founders, and other things.
My first, probably cynical, thought was isn't this how Bernie Madoff started with his ponzi scheme?
We only offer SMAs, separately managed account, and only get a limited power of attorney to trade on your account.
That means we can't withdraw any money, ever, and the account stays in your name.
So that's not possibel :)
We operate from Germany and everything must follow regulations and be compliant.
As you might have guessed from the sentence you quoted, we aren't managing client capital just yet. So it's not set in stone yet how we'll do it with the license.
Our preferred path right now is with a partner we're in talks with which supplies the license (you can imagine it like a liability umbrella, Haftungsdach in German) and a respected German brokerage. Since it's not yet a done deal, I don't want to give more info.
However, it's very important to me (Vinzenz Richard Ulrich) and will always be the case at autotradelab that we follow regulations and are compliant.
I've actually been considering talking with people (eg on forums) about the topic "asset managers suck" and finding out people's gripes. Since you brought up Bernie Madoff, do you have thoughts on that topic? We could chat on eg LinkedIn or email.
My view is if you joined two boards together: congrats, you're now a woodworker!
Gating things by the level or complexity of what is accomplished isn't super helpful. I saw a lot of that with things like people that wrote HTML weren't "real coders".
Glassblowing and watch making require specialized equipment I suppose so if you can get your hands on the gear and try it out, I feel like you can call yourself that. Maybe throw a "hobbyist" tag on it if you feel inclined.
I like this mindset and I’m going to steal this quote. Everyone is figuring things on their own skill journey with their hobbies and careers. Wherever you are, you can learn more and help people to come with you.
In a recent project the countertop contractor digitally measured the walls, even ones that look square weren't, not a 90 degree corner to be found! You should build cabinets as squared boxes and level them when installing. The trim work that surrounds it will hide gaps, etc.
Generally if there is space because of odd angled walls there really isn't any advantage to trying to use it. You're talking square inches of drawer/cabinet space, it really doesn't matter as far as usable space is concerned. Its a huge hassle to try and build cabinets that are not square - things like how do you screw/nail parts and not have the screw/nail blow out a finished side? It can be done, but should it?
The basis of these apps is pretty simple: you have to adjust your calorie target based on changes, you have to re-calculate as you go.
What I've found is that tracking activity via calories burned is horribly unproductive as there are large variations on how many calories were "burned" depending on the app, device and activity. Are there any scientific studies on how to calculate calorie burn for any activities? Anything in a controlled environment to understand something simple like adult walking 1 flat mile at 3mph. It seems like this would be really hard to nail down compared with say average calories in an apple. Anecdata: as soon as I stopped tracking activity, the scale started moving.
This is why a cool tech solution (procedural generation of "levels") by itself isn't good enough. The core gameplay loop is fundamentally the same on every planet. The graphics and descriptions may change but once you've played it for a bit, it gets boring.
I think video games are art, so take my opinion in context of if this is right up your alley and you really love it, then keep on keepin on!
> I chose this career mostly due to monetary reasons
I saw similar cases during the dot com boom and then bust. My opinion is that people that don't have an intrinsic interest in their work won't last a career length in it. Do you think some of the burnout is that you aren't really pulled into the work by interest and its just a slog/grind?
> I dread just getting the next job and continuing the corporate grind
Find something that interests you. I don't mean find your "passion" because if your passion is watching snails climb on logs its probably not going to pay well. Given what you read online about the job market, if you start looking now you might find something in 6 months so if you wait 6 months then expect to be out of work for a year.
I think the advice here is the reverse of someone trying to break into tech: find an industry that interests you, get a tech/software job there and then learn that industry and break out of the tech role into more industry specific roles at that place.
How often are people that are paid by their content attracting eyeballs correct? Isn't this a universal thing that people in these roles are constantly stating all sorts of things that never happen. This happens in sports media, politics, tech reporting, stock market predictions, etc.
Shouldn't society have a clever name for people playing these roles by now? Something catchy, insulting and based on truth might help call this out easier. I would throw influencers in there too, they are writing/video-loggin/podcasting for the same money outcome.
Most refrigerators in the US have automatic ice cube making and water dispensing. At least ones in homes, rental properties tend to skimp on this unless they are labelled "luxury". Its connected to the water supply of the house, typically with a smaller diameter plastic hose.
There's a carbon filter inside the fridge, they cost about $50 to replace. For any drinking water I usually use the fridge.
Funny thought - what if we had filters on our computers, digital filters, that needed cleaning. Oh we kind of do! Its cookies and tracing pixels and digital footprints. You should clean those out too.
Fridge water dispensers are usually quite flimsy and the first thing to break. I can fully understand why rental properties would disable them or get ones without the feature.
If you've played video games you're familiar with the dopamine hit you get when defeating a big boss, solving some hard puzzle or finding rare loot. In some ways, solving problems with software is the same way. Its the same feeling and using AI in the last 6+ months has accelerated the pace at which you can get those dopamine hits.
That feeling is what's addictive. To use the video game analogy, if you could skip the grindy elements of repeating a boss fight over and over and just get more chances at the rare loot you probably would. Some call this a cheese, the community finds a cheesy way to defeat the boss easily so you do that and its a 5 min fight vs. 30. That's what AI is helping with: the grindy elements of coding.
I think you can still reach burnout (both in games and software) even if the grindy parts are getting automated. You can certainly ignore AI and hand code but statistically speaking you will probably be "left behind" from your peers.
Does your employer incentivize contributions individually and can you advance with this pace of work? If there are financial incentives it might make sense to put in extra effort. If your employer is in more of "its a marathon, not a sprint" mode and your contributions are to the greater good then put down the work at the end of the day and find something else to do. Set aside AI and ask yourself if its worth it putting in 2 extra hours per day.
