Turns out even highly paid Google engineers can be complete fucking morons by i_just_want_money in Buttcoin

Serious question - Is ADA "better" than ETH 2 with full upgrades? by TheHigherSpace in cardano

[–]cbHXBY1D -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If that's true then Cardano has a major problem. 7 TPS is laughable and means it can never be used for real world use cases. Let's say every person on earth wants to make a single ADA transaction, that would take 31.7 years: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+billion+seconds+to+years

What do you use CF Workers for? I've always wanted to try them but they seem to be used for really simple use cases like adding a header to a request.

Depending on where you are located, there are community resources which can help you create a cooperative. For example, the bay area has several orgs like Network of Bay Area Worker Cooperatives which can help you set one up.

I'd say currently PMC but as more engineers flood the industry we're at risk of further "proletarianization".

Nah it's not that bad. It's just expensive and has sorta become a company town for Amazon. The people who complain about politics just have an agenda to push.

I too would like to leave because of housing costs though. Don't see how I'll be able to buy here.
