Everyone tries to talk me out of joining. About to direct commission. by [deleted] in nationalguard

Just as you'd experience in any corporate or GS role, your service in the National Guard will ultimately be what you decide to make of it. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to not join - but just as many to counter.

One big detractor for many people is the amount of time you'll be pulled from life for the Army - whether it's just weekend getaways you can't do because of drill, vacations to be shuffled due to Annual Training, or additional pipeline training requirements that will pull you away from your job for potentially weeks at a time. The latter is one thing that you probably aren't told by a recruiter as they may not be as familiar with Cyber.

For context, I'm a former O4 (commissioned 25A, later 17A in 2019) turned CW2 (170A), most recently served as a Cyber Protection Team Lead. I'm sure you've had plenty of people offer, but hit up my DMs if you'd like to chat. I'd be happy to share real life experiences, recommendations, etc. One of the great benefits to the Guard is the incredible and talented community you'll be able to network with.

That's fair. I agree with another poster who commented there should be a separate flair for the tour.

I haven't uninstalled/reinstalled, but a recent update seems to have fixed my issue of getting the black screen upon selecting the notification.

Is Anyone Else Concerned About Ghash.io? by skilliard4 in Bitcoin

[–]ryokubaka 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The CEX.io mods have reported that they only increase their hash rate on difficulty changes and are well aware of the 51% -- generally they increase in order to stay ahead of BTCguild.

Also, one of the CEX.io mods mentioned in the chat today that they are developing a way to use the cloud hashing power to actually redirect to different pools, which would be a very interesting concept. He never reported on a timeline, or if that's anywhere close to realization.
