Yeah this has been a thing since 2012ish and became more popular around 2016/17. Brian Krebs has documented this for the past 8 years. No new news here.

Usenet, DDL, and torrenting are alternatives too. I wonder if Cloudflare's free VPN would bypass state based blocking.

I'm a student at Berea College, which is like Deep Springs College (tuition free, everyone works etc.), but it's a bit bigger. It's a decent college and some work on the campus farm. Most of the faculty are from top tier coll

This is why I love Google's new AI phone call screening feature. Some people get spooked by it and hang up, and sometimes spam calls get through via exploits like calling twice within a short time or somehow bypassing with a weird spoo

I heavily agree. I got in to security and programming by doing fund video game hacking stuff. Then I got paid to do it, lost the joy and got fired, then started to do it recreationally again and the dopamine rush/addiction is back.

Again, Stallman was right about the dangers of ownership of "digitally purchased" content like VOD, e-books etc. Of course, there's ways to de-drm content on some platforms, which technically violates DMCA, but having the con

Stallman is right once again that electric content/IP such as ebooks, movies, etc. are a bad idea.

The fee and requiring account signup are a dealbreaker. Hopefully someone will create a FLOSS alternative.

This list in inaccurate. Renaissance Technologies isn't even listed, and they offer very high TC. TGS Management offers way more than $500k for SWEs, I know one SWE makes $700k there.

Kaggle is good. If you learn vulnerability research and development, then you can earn some bounties via HackerOne and Zerodium.
