The worst thing to come out of tech industry is the attention economy, because time is all we have. A tech job shouldn’t be about wasting people’s lives. By not participating in this vulgar scheme I make the world a better place
Just work on fiverr or freelance sites, for $500 you don’t need to leave your home By freelancing you can make more than $500/m
No it’s not legal, but the attacker hides behind privacy protection
Yes, I found out the attacker was buying links. One site was offering links for a monthly fee. After I got removed from that one, about 1000 were gone. So he is using multiple link farms
Negative SEO. Thousands of low content link farm sites started appearing at the start of the pandemic. Google Disavow didn’t work, hosting companies like Cloudflare, Godaddy refuse to remove the Link farm sites. Domains are hidden behind privacy protection. Every week there are hundreds of new link farm sites, lost 70% in 1.5 year
No, it should be called Software Hacker. Engineering has to do with the physical world, there is nothing physical in software
First I would ignore bad backlinks as they’re not a good indicator of quality. The better your page, the more likely a competitor will start creating thousands of bad links.
It’s interesting p2p got back into popularity. Where most stuff seems to be client-server crud stuff, it was something refreshing. But it’s over a decade old now. While originally intended as digital cash, it seems more like another asset class
I feel it’s just TV industry, not tech.
You only fail if you give up
In the Netherlands there’s a lot of freelancers operating as a sole proprietorship. If you make a 100.000$ or more you can consider a business license.
If you surf mindlessly, you can listen to ebooks on repeat (while you clean your home or work)
For every olympic winner there are many losers, it’s how the game goes. Overthinking or quitting doesn’t get you anywhere.

“There is another reason bad ideas continue to live on, which is that people continue to talk about them.
Silence is death for any idea. An idea that is never spoken or written down dies with the person who conceived it. Ideas can only be remembered when they are repeated. They can only be believed when they are repeated.”

You can use an AI image upscaler
Use your existing network or a project bidding site for projects. My network is still small
You will own nothing. You will be happy.
Work as a contractor. You can earn more than 100k, or well your LLC can. If you work a lot, you can make 16k a week. If more normal work day 2k-4k a week. You would have to deal with bureaucracy, taxes and administration though. It’s hard but there’s no artificial limit

You don’t have to go to an office, but you have psychological needs that money alone doesn’t solve. Sure you can be rich and lay on the beach all day, but it’s not a very meaningful life. You cannot escape the search for meaning and to find it, you work (even if it’s just for yourself - as a rich person)
No, hn users are different

Yes like 5 times a day, but it boots fast. I usually have vscode, xcode, terminals and a couple of others things open
Make a product and link to it
Yes, in Gitlab you use plantuml to write your sketches. It’s easy
Mostly UML courses focus on classes, which is a shame as OOP is more about relationships, activities and user stories.
But if I can, I skip all that and just hack
Not me, to much effort and everything is botnet. For “privacy” you would need a complete OS in an isolated space. Probably dedicated hardware too. Kaspersky was spot on
Anyway, there must be a market for that. The value proposition could be meaningful
Yes it is because a journalists job is pain tourism. I guess it needs some entertainment not to become a total doom story
If talk about bitcoin, miners need to get a hashing result. The faster they can do hashing, the more likely you mine the coin. The mining difficulty increase, thats why bitcoin is power hungry.
However this is the first cryptocurrency from over a decade ago, there are many other cryptocurrencies snd I don’t think this generalization holds true
Yes she has. But a strange premise of the guardian that different is better.
