A typical first job will need you to prove the axiom of choice and be able to build a quantum turing machine.


"just review some basic algorithms" lol.


Care to elaborate or is lol the best you have to offer here?


it's the best i got


Maybe mine crypto in the winter if there's some software compatible with it.


How you are able to have such cognitive dissonance in believing that China is an authoritarian government that locks down entire buildings because someone tested positive for a mutation of a cold virus but also not believe they have had few covid cases is beyond me.


They also have a ridiculously huge and dense urban population.


And everybody wears masks. Everybody wore masks even before the pandemic due to the pollution.


Agreed. It's stupid. Feel bad for the people living their miserable lives there. First locked in school all day for 24/7 and now they're locked in because the government is scared


I don't believe any of that crap. Have you even read that comment about being locked in a building because someone tested positive?


That's complete bs lol. Please leave the commentating to people who actually know what's going on.


This was a long time ago, so I can't find the link. It may have been a variation on this story

Such an awful idea. In order to save a few lives they're hurting everyone.


I thought of that too, but I don't think I'll be able to hide away and do my own work. Their pay is also too tiny to being worthwhile.


Im curious what you’re looking for then. You said “I don’t care about comp” in your post, but now the pay is too tiny? Are you looking for a company that’s going to pay you to work on your side project?


I'm talking about not caring if it's on the low end of standard industry pay, which would still be way more than min wage. If I didn't care at all, then there's literally no point in getting a job to do nothing because I wouldn't care about the money. 10$ an hour is not worth the inconvenience of being stuck somewhere and needing to do work once in a while


Your assumption is incorrect. I love to work. Just not corporate work.
