"Tim Ferriss is a hacker."
So are the Chinese dudes who put melamine in the milk and formula they sold, poisoning untold numbers of children while increasing their profits by selling watered-down milk. (The melamine tested as protein, covering up the dilution.)
That was a hack. Same with 'hackers' who use shoddy building materials resulting in buildings that collapse.
Hackers like that are a dime a dozen. It's not anything I'd want to emulate. And I certainly wouldn't want to hire someone who thought along such lines.
