The "read the rest" button seems broken in Firefox on Windows... so that makes for a very short post.

The "read the rest" button seems broken in Firefox on Windows... so that makes for a very short post.
- jmuguy 4mo agoSame in Firefox on Mac. Links are hard, I guess.
- jolmg 4mo agoThe URL: #replace-with-the-found-url From searching the text, it seems it hasn't been published on the WSJ.
- Gualdrapo 4mo agoSo the author lied and they are trying to get rich?
- Aperocky 4mo agoAuthor never told us what happens when one lies to those who seek the truth... is that on a different plane of reference?
- bigblind 4mo agoThen you become a poletician, though I guess that could also apply to lying to people who want to be lied to.
- prmph 4mo agoYou get paid, but it does not last
- sunrunner 4mo agoThat earns you a special position as one of a pair of guards in a labyrinth with two doors, one of which leads to freedom and the other to... ba-ba-ba-bum - certain death.
- jagged-chisel 4mo ago> … ba-ba-ba-bum - certain death ftfy
- jolmg 4mo agoIf they're a writer there, I would assume it's simply still in the pipeline.
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoI’m interpreting the submission as just what can be read on the page, but I still liked it. Brief and to the point.
- dentemple 4mo agoI appreciate brief and to the point. It's a world that's rapidly going away thanks to LLMs' love of over-explaining everything.
- gamerslexus 4mo agoThat's only two ways to get paid, so it's either title is wrong or there's a missing part.
- AnthonyMouse 4mo agoGetting paid is entirely consistent with going broke. Gross income doesn't have to be zero to be less than expenses.
- Wowfunhappy 4mo agoTo be fair (and perhaps overly pedantic), while the article title is "three ways to get paid," the quoted maxim begins "there are three ways to make a living." It then goes on to say that the third way will make you "go broke", which seems somewhat contradictory.
- jmkni 4mo agoHa I reached that and thought to myself "do I need to read any more?"
- neogodless 4mo agoHeh, well I was kind of thinking, this sounds like something someone in sales or content management or marketing might think is pithy and thoughtful. And we are (or just were) in the "Information Age", so that's what has value. But also, there are lots of other ways to um... make money. Unless you try to twist your brain around "well selling kids' toys to parents is selling lies to someone who wants lied to" or something perverse like that. shrug Maybe the big article does a great job of exploring these ideas, but I don't think they stand up to much scrutiny.
- wmeredith 4mo agoIt's also broken for Safari (on Mac).
- littleweep 4mo agoAnd Brave
- sam1r 4mo agoHe is obviously lying to us and becoming rich in SEO from our clicks to his page. Took me a second. The reference "replace with found url" is a lie if the URL is not found.
- xtiansimon 4mo agoNo go on Safari mobile
