I got into churning airline miles then manufactured spending (generating spend on credit card to earn miles) and now have over 10 million miles. I also heard one of the biggest groups of manufactured spend are developers within Google.

I belong to a private slack with over 80 folks doing this as a hobby so we can do first class/business class international travel and hotel stays for free.

If anyone is into it as as well and would like to join a private Slack and contribute, hit me up. A big majority of the group are engineers.

NOTE: this group is for advanced folks only who have been doing this for a while. Think "r/churning level 2"

Consider maybe cutting out your kids' sugar as well. No need for them to be eating all those sugary foods if you've found it to be unhealthy (and it is).

I'm surprised to see on HN an article clearly written by a conspiracy theorist without any proof. As soon as he started adding in his own opinions of what might have been taking place, I checked out.

This is my reading anyway, based on what I understand is usual diplomatic custom and lingo in such affairs.

Pass.

This series of tweets from Anil Dash might give some insight into why Marco decided to pull Peace. Basically while the big publishers of content can adapt to ads being blocked and create native ads or sell "featured content", small publishers like blogs dont have the time to work on that and rely on third-party ad tech like Google AdSense for monetization.

Worth a read: https://twitter.com/anildash/status/644560336369119232

> @anildash Okay, ad blocking advocates and users (I am one, sometimes!), we're going to have a new conversation. You ready?

> I resisted the temptation to use the exploit to send myself a million dollars worth of free Amazon gift cards

Sorry, but that's not how Amazon's "Buy It Now" option works. It sends the item to the default address on file. So it would not be possible for the clickjacker to get it mailed to their own address.

If you have a jailbroken iPhone, you can get some apps that spoof your location so you don't even need to go to Applebee's physically to use the app and chat with others.

LocationHolic and FakeLocation are a few of the location spoofing apps you can get on Cydia.

The declassification of documents, for one. For example in the US, usually 50 years is when you're finally able to get the majority of the contents of a classified document.

Headline has a question mark? Pure speculation guaranteed.

This story needs more time to see if there's any truth in it. Commenting now is a waste of time.
