Do a search for "residential proxy" and browse through the results a bit, all claiming to own millions and millions of exits in the entire world. The malware could be from the manufacturer or preinstalled apps since all app developers are contacted to inject various SDKs into their code source in order to act as residential proxy nodes and make profits based on the target's internet. It's on phones, android TVs, routers etc. I wouldn;t be surprised if some of the devices we, as technical users, use are infected - who reads that TOS when updating apps anyway?

That's another can of worms in itself.

What are you trying to say actually here? How is this "deserving" in any way? He worked, he got an apartment to make some extra cash and that's about it. I know plenty of people doing this since I was a child, Airbnb or not.

> When Lauren McCluskey, a University of Utah senior and track star, first alerted campus police to the fact that someone had accessed compromising photos of her and was attempting to extort her for $1000 in 2018... But she forwarded the photos and threatening messages she’d received to campus police anyway, and now, nearly two years after her death, the Salt Lake Tribune reports that the officer who received them saved them to his personal cell phone and later flaunted the photos to male coworkers.

Can't wait for the competent police officers at my local station to call me in order to have full access to my phone based on some photos I sent to my mom regarding her niece (my daughter).

This will have a Streissand effect like no other.

I do send my mom photos with my 2yr old taking a bath or stuff like that. "if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" - what a stupid argument. Letting criminals dictate the way I live sounds like such a wonderful idea. If you have nothing to hide can you post your credit card here?

They don't make money out of longer warranties.

"Skip the api" - seems to be stolen from sequin at: https://docs.sequin.io/integrations/airtable/playbooks/metab... (a few scrolls down)

astrojs (with some React) for presentation website, nextjs for anything else. For backend, I use Django if the project is complex or Go frameworks for micros.

It's either terrorism or child pornography. In my country (Romania) they use to call football hooligans whenever a protest is being made on a bigger scale just so they can put us all in the same boat and have an excuse to use armed forces and disperse everyone on the basis that the event was not peacefully done.

Most of the people I talk to are brainwashed anyway and will happily accept it - just give it time. The discussions over privacy always end-up with something like "I have nothing to hide anyway".

yes, you're paying his rent probably right? What did he do? Did he sell his app? I would sell any app I own for the right price btw.

Almost certain. NordVPN owns Oxylabs if I'm not mistaken

All, but all, my recent questions there were flagged and deleted immediately. My account there is 11 year old and has over 11k reputation - not much but not nothing. The site, for the past 2-3 years seems moderated by nazis and bots. Dunno if my timeline matches these graphs but I noticed the decline quite early.

Tried. No wifi support for my board (esp-eye) no I2S for audio. Very limited. Too bad because I really enjoy working in Go compared to micropython.

As a side question, is there a helper/tool where I can place a list of components (wifi chip, digital microphone, battery management components) and it outputs a PCB which could incorporate them?

Absolutely, not taking away from his marketing skills.

Let's not leave aside the altruism because that the main beef I have with this comment.

No, it's not a sin. Just don't call it altruism or philanthropy because it's an insult to others who are really doing it without selfish reasons or profits.

Btw he is not "earning money by helping people", he is "helping" people to earn money.

Lemme know if he does it without filming and I'll be the first to call out my BS. Some people just don't see the forest from the trees but it's all good with me, MrBeast needs you for income. True altruism is hard, this is business.

If you give me millions of dollars for it? I could clean tons of trash yes, or fund a lot of cataract surgeries. I can found hundreds of thousands if by the end of the year I'm left with more money than I started. Awesome idea.

I don;t complain of anything, let's just call a spade a spade. This is not philanthropy or altruism. It's marketing, a business and entertainment.

It's not altruism if it's your source of income. Sorry but I don't buy this bs. He's doing it to generate income, that's all. Altruism is "unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others" but we have quite the opposite here - a selfish way of milking poor people for emotions in order to generate income. Real altruism is hard and done only by a few. Literally EVERY man/woman/child on this planet will say yes to receiving millions of dollars annually with the sole condition that they have to let go some part of it. The money he spends are just fuel for a marketing engine.

While I see he seems like a nice guy overall, his actions do more good than harm. His impact is very low, his "philanthropy" is localised down to the individual level and his impact is absolutely none on the actual problems that people who he targets face. The more negative side of this is that he inspires the next generations to only go by extreme things on Youtube and other social media platforms and these extreme things are, more often than not, on the negative side (stupid and dangerous pranks, throwing stuff at people from 20th floor etc).

He chose this path because his viewers were probably reacting to it the most. I'm not a hater but I feel like the real altruistic people doing good stuff on a much grander scheme don't get any recognition at all while this money making business man selling snake oil to children is getting everything from the table.

Despite throwing millions and millions, his impact is absolutely ZERO. I find it quite predatory.

On a side note, we're experiencing the death of SEO I believe since content can't be trusted any more and knowledge, expertise and competence is available to everyone that can ask the proper questions.

Literally everything I buy on the internet has features unlocked by higher payment plans (Netflix, hosting, ahrefs etc). I don't get the big deal about it. For one, I am happy I can upgrade my car without any mechanical interventions. You get what you pay for when you buy your car. It's their business if it's limited down to meet your package or not. Did they deliver anything else from what you paid for? If the answer is yes then we have a problem. If the answer is No then I don't see the issue. A more powerful car is usually more expensive, always has been.

until eggs hatch again and you're back to square 1. It's really hard getting rid of them.

Never had any of your problems in 5 years of wireless car play on a BMW and now a FORD also. You describe defective USBs, cables, not having BL turned on, the fact that you forget your phone inside the car and other stuff totally unrelated to CarPlay or AndroidAuto for that matter. Seems to me you're just a bit messy overall, something neither of the 2 can't push an update for.

> It is remarkable to me that on HN (a tech discussion forum?) the top comment on this thread is about politics. Sign of the times, I guess.

Top comment criticising Elon and using the word "toxic" says it all. It's the twitter drama bouncing back a bit.

We can't stop and nobody will. This is pretty much a matter of national security soon. Stopping now means being left behind. Maybe some countries will regulate this but I expect gov agencies to steam ahead full blown.

Surprised how "dead" this industry is. I remember having Lithium-Ion batteries since I was in high school which was more than 20 years ago (and some Li-Po until then). Everything is leaps and bounds since then but not the batteries. Seems like a massive disconnect to me but I'm no chemist or researcher in this field.

I merely follow the AI news since I'm not operating in the field but, on the "are we there yet" note, how much until AIs will start working on better versions of language models. Ai working on AI let's say.

Sorry but no. This is poor planning of life in general. I know you should be earning more but why bet your life and your family's life on an open source project? To "make the web a better place"?

Go for the best paid position you can go and do open source work in your spare time if you can't help yourself. Don't risk the comfort of your family for this stuff. It's not the first time I hear people complain about OSS; why don't we learn? Esp since we have kids, problems with the law, ilnesses or whatnot.
