Random Thoughts 2

Yeah, to those with a weak mind. 🤷‍♂️
I never bought anything because a celebrity endorsed a particular product. I break echo chambers with my resolve. I set trends rather than follow them. A rebel at heart. Reading books, watching opinionated news, believing propaganda is brainwashing if there's no individual thought involved.

Random thought: Why is it so easy to control people through their emotions, labels, or groupings? We aren't evolving because those who cry the loudest are keeping us in stagnation. The year is 2020. People are still crying about injustices committed hundreds or thousands of years ago. A cycle on repeat every election year to control the vote. Brainwashing is most effective with the use of tears, tragedy, or anger.

Didn't you claim to be climate change denier? You should take your own advice and not believe in every conspiracy that the conservative political groups use to brainwash people. Scientists are neutral whereas big oil-backed politicians have something to lose and in denial.

Closed individual thought clearly isn't all that great without any humility.

You are not so different from Trump who brags about how he is a genius who always knows more than scholarly researchers and scientists when that is just unlikely. :headpalm:

Scientists are neutral?

Your ignorance is showing. Do you know how much money is given to researchers and scientists by a certain political party to push a narrative they want them to? When did I ever claim to be a climate change denier? My criticism of Greta Thunberg lead you to believe that was my claim? Last I check, we were supposed to be entering an ice age then they changed it to all the ice will melt. We were supposed to die from climate change 50 years ago according to your "scientists" and so-called "experts."

I never denied climate change isn't happening. The climate has been changing for thousands of years. It fluctuates over time. The earth isn't stupid. It can heal itself without you clowns adding additional pollution with your silly marches that you leave your trash and filth behind. Imagine claiming to care about the earth because you believe climate change is going to end our existence in 10 years, but you actually have been creating more pollution rather than cleaning up your city or community.

I guarantee you that I recycle more than you ever have. I live in a 4200 sqft house with 10ft to 25ft ceilings and my electric bill on average is less than $70 a month.



I'm probably more "green" than you.

You're as gullible as the people who killed themselves after being told the world is going to end in (insert random number) of years.

Watch that and see how the media has been controlling you. You remind me of that bloke that tried to play it coy and smart in Good Will Hunting because he was able to regurgitate things he read. Well, I'm Will. I know how to apply what I acquire.

Is it worth learning more intricate software programming skills with an informatics degree to acquire a software developing job or capitalize in systems/business informatics? 🤔

Believe me bro,

:sigh: I have had way too many of the same arguments too many times with climate change deniers who repeat the exact same things as you, that they do actually believe in climate change but it's mostly natural, and that the man-made portion is overexaggerated by scientists. How so noble for the Big Oil Lobbies that endorses "denialism" republican groups and how evil of 97% of the world's scientists' consensus that it's not so black and white. *sarcasm*

The only actual time when media is legitimately a brainwashing propaganda is when it 'spins" and gives an impression that contradicts the hard evidence and "full" research. When it chooses to overly quote partisan politicians and omit the scholar facts. That is when you will see the political partisan opinions when peer-reviewed scholars/research findings contradict the media.


I mentioned to you about debt trap diplomacy before. To elaborate:

American trump admin had made at least half of the western audience believe in Debt Trap diplomacy since the media too often talks about it as if it’s an established fact. And rarely rectified it's not. Despite in a 2019 peer-reviewed research paper, Johns Hopkins professor Deborah Brautigam concluded that most of these countries voluntarily signed on to these loans and had positive experiences working with China.
.

In a 2019 research paper, Brautigam writes, “The evidence so far, including the Sri Lankan case, shows that the drumbeat of alarm about Chinese banks’ funding of infrastructure across the BRI and beyond is overblown.” She continues, “…a large number of people have favorable opinions of China as an economic model and consider China an attractive partner for their development.

.

Australian National University senior lecturer Darren Lim said the "debt trap diplomacy" claim was never credible, and had been pushed by the Trump Administration. An analysis by New York's Rhodium Group of 40 debt renegotiations made by China across 24 countries found "asset seizures are a very rare occurrence". Instead, debt write-off was the most common outcome, happening in 16 cases, including Vanuatu.

How long have you been studying? Not sure how serious you are in your career but I remember reading there are two types of software engineers that the employers commonly distinguish between. One is more capable of knowing how to innovate deeper whilst the other one just gets by and doesn't really know how to do anything beyond the relative basics.

The first type superficially learns the minimum of coding languages and doesn't have to study advanced maths or understand how to create top algorithms. They are employed by people who aren't willing to pay much and just need average software developers.

The second type learns the in-depth science of Computer theories. They learn the advanced trigonometry, and attained a much more intuitive understanding, and employers desire them from the rest of the competition when they need the best and willing to pay for it. They are overqualified for the basic jobs. So employers hiring for basic level jobs may avoid them as they will leave eventually.


.

There are 2 types of software engineer: those who understand computer science well enough to do challenging, innovative work, and those who just get by because they’re familiar with a few high level tools.

.

Both call themselves software engineers, and both tend to earn similar salaries in their early careers. But Type 1 engineers progress toward more fulfilling and well-remunerated work over time, whether that’s valuable commercial work or breakthrough open-source projects, technical leadership or high-quality individual contributions.

.

Type 1 engineers find ways to learn computer science in depth, whether through conventional means or by relentlessly learning throughout their careers. Type 2 engineers typically stay at the surface, learning specific tools and technologies rather than their underlying foundations, only picking up new skills when the winds of technical fashion change.

.

Currently, the number of people entering the industry is rapidly increasing, while the number of CS grads is relatively static. This oversupply of Type 2 engineers is starting to reduce their employment opportunities and keep them out of the industry’s more fulfilling work. Whether you’re striving to become a Type 1 engineer or simply looking for more job security, learning computer science is the only reliable path.

Definitely some good information that will go a long run. My little brother is CS grad and is just starting off his career as a software developer for a company. He says that informatics majors can just as well acquire and conform to the job path similar to his without actually receiving a CS degree. The cost that I'm in wouldn't be a smart move into CS program. I'm not nearly as savvy with programming as he is due to his big brain lol. I guess I can fall in the category as a type 2 haha. Thanks anyways man.

I am CS grad with math minor. In the beginning I was just doing programming. The upper give me instructions and execute. I pivot into business consulting after learning warehousing, manufacturing, accounting, and other stuffs on my own. I am still doing programming and at the same time develop and improve business processes. I am only answering to Chief level like CEO, CFO, and COO. I feel its more fullfilling when everyone come to me for advices that include the bosses.

That's some good stuff big boss! definitely pretty awesome running into individuals like yourself that have done so much already. Motivational boost for sure man!
