I was self employed for five years many years ago. It’s easy to find clients - one of the best ways I did it was to go to computer stores and tell the salespeople if they got me a new client I would pay them $15 per hour in perpetuity for e

I said 2 weeks vacation to make the math simple. I actually get six weeks vacation at my full time US job and I use part of that to work in my part time consulting job.

What’s happening…when I set a long/short TTL? Real answer: many ISP’s DNS servers are set to ignore whatever you set and use a value they feel works best for themselves.

I hope I can answer that for you. The core issue is that you are taking the original point out of context and kind of robotically parsing snippets. Context is important. For example, chimpanzee DNA is 99% identical to human DNA. Without con

I genuinely don’t see why either. With 100% identical executables, there does not appear to be a good reason to have multiple copies under any circumstance. With anything < 100% identical, well, maybe there’s a good reason to have multip

Are there NFT plans that make sense? The tax fraud schemes make sense for now. Party A makes 10 NFTs and sells 1 to Party B for $10,000. Party B makes 10 NFTs and sells 1 to Party A for $10,000. They both then donate their remaining NFTs
