It's not surprising. Information products are often the easiest to produce, lowest risk-to-reward, and often valuable enough people will part with money just to see if you have some information they don't. It's sort of like F

Yes, the only things worth keeping around from actual milsurp type gear in my experience is the BDUs and the compasses. Military compasses are actually really, really nice and there aren't many civilian offerings that present an accept

I find the "tactical" gear to be the most useful. I like hiking, climbing, and hunting. I regularly camp for days on end at a location. In my experience most civilian-type gear is simply unacceptable in quality. Hiking backpacks c

These articles always seem so tacky to me. Perhaps my observations are rare but in 12 years of being in software engineering I can count on less than one hand the times when "special guides" like this would be necessary and usuall

To a computer scientist "programming" is simply a means to an end. Computer science is a rich field. Equating programming to computer science has been the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the field, and in my opinion why so many

Having done this both ways I can tell you there is certain value in going to class. For earlier math such as algebra through pre-calculus it's probably sufficient to learn online. I would not use youtube or coursera, but rather MITx wh

Bug bounties are rather pathetic. As you stated it's doing grunt work for corporations that pay 10-100x less than the exploit would fetch on the market. I can only assume these capitalize on fame because it can lead to jobs in the indu
