Readit NewsI gave up on Spotify after the Neil Young debacle. I've tried Deezer and Qobuz both really weren't as good as Spotify they lacked the range of songs and creating playlists was really awkward -- any other alternatives people would recommend?
Youtube music is really good.
> German doesn’t have a word for “mind”. Does that mean Germans don’t understand the concept?
As a german native speaker I belive "Bewusstsein" is the german word for "mind".
Interesting fact: "Bewusst - sein" written in two words is retranslated word by word to something like: "Beeing mindful"
I would translates "Bewusst sein" as "being conscious".
Look at Stardew Valley. One person (Eric Barone aka ConcernedApe) designed the game, wrote all the code (including the engine from scratch), designed all of the characters from concept sketches to final in-game art, wrote all the story and dialogue, created all of the sound effects, composed and recorded all the music with an original soundtrack of over one hundred pieces of music.
The game has since sold more than 20 million copies and some publications have called it the greatest game of all time. An indie game by one person!
Generalists absolutely can succeed today!
He did not write the engine from scratch, he is using MonoGame a framework that takes care of graphics, audio and input:

I'm learning how to level up my more fundamental life skills: nutrition, exercise, and character. Character I'm learning through the study of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People which I'm working through with a friend. For exercise, I'm enjoying learning a safe kettlebell program with the book Simple and Sinister. With nutrition, I'm just trying to cook/prepare all my own meals while keeping the ingredients healthy.
I've spent so much time studying skills more directly related to my work as a software engineer, or hobbies like photography, that this shift is both challenging and refreshing. I think it'll make a huge difference in the long run.
For nutrition and diet I can highly recommend "How Not To Die" by Dr. Michael Gregger:

You are under 25 years old."
That's pretty low and strict, I wonder what the reasoning for this is? I would argue that most people looking to drive innovation have actually had some time to gather experience in some industry to see what opportunities exist to innovate on, so most candidates for this would definitely be above 25...

"Why focus on 25 years and younger?
Our goal is to encourage the next generation to take more risks and make entrepreneurship more acceptable across European culture. We believe many VC products out there cater to entrepreneurs irrespective of age. By focusing on under 25 year olds we aim to support a younger set of founders that often don’t fit the requirements of venture investors. Backing first-time founders at a young age is more risky but it’s the bet we’re making to change the narrative of European entrepreneurship."
I mean I think it's great to fill the gap where venture investments are lacking, but then don't call it 'Project Europe' if it's an initiate with a rather narrow focus!
