> Make $300K A year

You make it sound easy! How do I do that outside of not just SF, but the US?

That's me in my dad's company rn. I know the tech but not the business and it's something I'm trying to get out of, but don't really know how.

It's impossible to build a perfect system, even ML could have a bias towards a certain solution or the badguys could ML a way to track us again.

If you really wanted to avoid dupes you could just hash the pics, save a list of hashes in a txt and then lookup against new ones, but it's less efficient than what OP proposes.

The pay seems worth it to me, but I only get 10 days of PTO as it is, so there's that.

I like using google keep. It's more for notes, but has a checklist mode, an android app and a browser mode.

It may be that the effects we're having now were caused by that "man up" attitude that was going on back then.

IMHO debian comes closer. I like to install the server version and then install gnome-core on top of that, sort out the dependencies of what I need and I'm golden.

apt is way better than apt-get anyways.

This type of person was my first girlfriend, it was a very tough experience, but I learned a lot from it.

I've also applied PUA and redpill is toxic, mysoginistic trash. It's nearly impossible to find PUA stuff that's not toxic and mysoginistic.

The only reason I call it PUA is that I don't know what else to call approaching strangers I find attractive in a respectful and honest way, especially because it seems that where I live or the people I go out with never meet new people.

6cd6beb encapsulated it wonderfully, if PUA is taken as only this and not the manipulative alpha male b/s that is taught, I believe it can teach men a lot of perspective and respect towards the opposite sex:

[...] the general formula of "know your value, be confident and unapologetic about what you want, be ready to accept 'no' quickly and gracefully" is the buried gold. Maybe it's just me but grinding through failure after failure after failure taught me those things.

There are waaaayyyy easier and cheaper ways to get your private information than by a massive, distributed covert operation designed to make your encryption implementations slightly easier to brute-force.

Sadly I believe this term has a misogynist undertone. I learned about talking to women like that and while it had enormous benefits, they also didn't really teach what was appropriate and had to learn them as well as un-learn a few bad habits.

I think they're only looking for 2-5 IOC because they're checking the same machine they've broken into for operations.

Maybe they're looking for tools the other groups use to establish initial beachheads and not tools that are used for exploitation, info gathering or other more involved tasks.

A couple questions: did you have to travel to the hackathons?

How did you fing these groups?

This begs the question, what is Latino and what is white? I was born in a Latin American country to a Latin American mother and a Canadian father, have lived here my entire life but if you saw me you wouldn't even think I spoke Spanish.

Likewise, I've made friends in the US who are of Mexican descent and look very much like it but don't speak a lick of Spanish.

This has led me to feel not at home in either my country of origin or Canada. Since I'm too white to be from here and don't know enough about Canadian lifestyle to relate to anyone there.

That's a good idea! How do you use your computer/laptop? What about eating? And how long did it take for you to get used to not having furniture?
