Yes you can, and it is pretty easy. Build. Every single, new building puts downward pressure on the average price. The moment supply outstrips demand, prices goes down, housing mar…

There is no such thing as "one reasonable price". You may value your time arbitrarily high and don't need explanation for that, and there may be someone that value money arbitraril…

Well, there are people charging $100/h around here — do you think they are scammers because there are others that charge $10/h? You literally can set arbitrary price to your time a…

There is no such thing as IT skills shortage. There is a shortage of skills in some manual labour sectors, where you need to wait a few weeks to do the job because there is not a s…

The thing is it doesn't need to record anything (to spy on you). Voice recognition is 'on' all the time as it needs to recognise 'keyword'. All you need then is simple transcriptio…

My pet theory is that 'marketing oneself' trend is a sign of oversaturation (and forthcoming commoditisation). This happen a few years back in UI design when designers started to p…

'face-to-face meetings are a justification for middle management to exist'

This may be anecdotal [and sleep deprivation may impact different people differently] but it has a huge impact on me. I used to use memrise [flash card style memorisation] to learn…

This article got its central point not only wrong but patently wrong. Remote work puts downward pressure on the highest salaries [think globalisation but on a smaller scale — poor …

I'm not gonna lie. From the perspective of somebody that commits every day with purpose, this is even more scammy then selling email spam-list. This invalidates my hard work.

Gwern's website starts to be next level.

If you want to know why-the-hate watch this[1] talk — one of the best and eye-opening talks I've ever heard. It has nothing to do with the language itself and everything to do with…

Working for a rate that you would get full-time is non-sustainable as a contractor.

I strongly recommend you to consider cybersecurity. I believe that you not only will have a chance to compete with typicals but you will have an edge. The shell is a pretty awesome…

Twitter has suspended my account two+ weeks ago without a reason and didn't even notify me about that by e-mail. They don't respond to my appeals either. Decentralize all the thing…

Nowhere to hide. Just a few days ago I wanted to research some nasty disease and I used brave on TOR to watch some stuff about it on YT. First thing after I opened FB was a clinica…

Yes.

I'll never understand what people mean when they say twitter is horrible — 'following people on twitter is a bit like building your own city'
