I think they're banking on the rest of tempe over there to have a similar growth soon, and use the cable car that is being implemented. It's a gamble it will grow that way, but it seems like most of tempe right now is being overhauled.
Seems like a materialistic evolution. If you're using pieces, picking them up and moving them seems natural. If you're writing it down, it's not as intuitive to erase and rewrite.
That's difficult when there is a motivation and purpose glut. Lot's of people/kids struggling to find connection and purpose. They hope they can achieve this through higher learning.
An alienation epidemic. Everyone wants a job that's at least one of: personally meaningful, or clearly helpful to others. Also it should pay the bills well enough to gain you housing somewhere with decent schools. Good friggin' luck.
> Everyone wants a job that's [..] clearly helpful to others.
I can imagine no better symptom to show how utterly sick the current economic system is, than that it takes luck to find a job where one is helpful to others and paid well. Helping others in exchange for money is supposed to be the basis of the free market!
Adding to this, it's not a static group of people on there growing old together. There is a a consistent group of adolescents reaching troll age and joining in.
Yeah, I was on 4chan as a 16yo-20yo regular lurker starting back in 2004; never an active poster, just commenting randomly and joining in conversations on various boards. It was a decent anonymous community, sometimes I'd wander over to /b/ and it would be like walking past an apartment building at night and seeing completely random (sometimes disturbing) things going on through all of the windows; lurking on /b/ was the online equivalent of being an active peeping tom in a neighborhood without curtains.
When moot sold the domain a few years ago to a former 2chan admin, I noticed it barely changed. But I haven't really visited much since 2009 or so...
It's interesting to see Phoenix so high up. Living there now, and there does seem to be a lot of Software Engineer jobs. But I'm not sure how it's handling the newer programmers. I spoke with 7 companies yesterday that asked if I would relocate to San Fransisco for entry level or internship opportunities.
(Obviously this data does not take that into account)
Cryotpkitty is under the current existing Ethereum network. Like how you can still buy bitcoin. ICO are initial coin offerings, so it's an investment before the actual coin is released and on the market.
Is there an expected time commitment? I'm working through school while working full time, but would really like to start working on larger side projects. Although, I don't want to make a commitment I can't follow through on.
"You are expected to spend around 30+ hours a week working on your project during the 3 month coding period. If you already have an internship, another summer job, or plan to be gone on vacation for more than a week during that time, GSoC is not the right program for you this year."
However, it isn't exactly like an open ended job for the summer. There is a process by which students and organizations agree on a project for the summer so it is goal oriented.
