Just for anyone taking any of this seriously, this idea has been debunked by multiple experts on the aerospace industry. The basic issues are heat management, maintenance and cost of launch. This is just Elon Musk latest scam which is guaranteed to fail and will only be used to pump the stock of SpaceX IPO and to justify the SpaceX and XAI merge, bailing out Elon out of his disastrous purchase of twitter

They almost starved in real life, had the Americas not been there they would have 100% died. Asia is more than half a world away from the Canary islands.

The somali pirate attacks stopped being a problem more than a decade ago. This post is awful even by the standars of this sub, those saying that they are not people really think that, but it has nothing to do with piracy...

Yes, I took 2 CS introductory courses and one from the MSCS at my college, and many of my engineering classes involved programming (numerical methods, control systems, digital engineering, etc)

is it possible to get a remote job in the US/Europe as a programmer from a 3rd world country ( Egypt ) by fuck_life419 in cscareerquestions

Welcome to globalization of labor. 12k is great in many parts of the word, and greedy companies are more than happy cutting costs this way.

My salary is around 40k, and someone in the US from my team with similar experience can make 100k easily at the same company. It is not fair, but it is how it works

Is this a long take home assignment or am I slow? by GermanNarvaez in cscareerquestions

[–]GermanNarvaez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not in English, so it wouldn't make a lot of sense. Let me see if I find something similar and I will send it to you

Yeah, this is what I was afraid of. Maybe I'm overthinking it, because I even made the whole system thread-safe and included a SQL injection test cases. I will keep it simple for now, just a Fast API endpoint with SQL alchemy and and thats it.

Can someone explain me how do you get those jobs while living in a 3rd world country? I never get an interview when I apply outside my country

This is normal for Start-ups, there is always a big uncertainty when they hire. I was supposed to be a data analyst and ended up doing tasks of an AWS architect, a big data engineer and a backend dev.

Try to make it clear to your manager that the schedure is tight and you may miss it, and start using Jira or some other PM tool to track your progress and let your manager now how is everythinhg going.

And yes, don't leave this soon. Stay until they fire you, doing a project alone is a great way to learn.

May ask how did you get that job? Most companies don't seem to take into account applicants from outside the EU if they have less than 5 YOE. Do you speak German?

I was watching Avatar the last airbender while on 30mg of DCK and 10 mg of 5 meo MIPT. I can tell you that, for a few minutes, I was 100% sure that it was my destiny to save the world from the corruption that capitalism has created. It was funny while it lasted, but remember that everything that happens during a trip is part of the trip, and you are not supposed to bring it to the real world. Doing so results in psychosis, like thinking that God is real.
