A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think 95% of the books on "how to get rich quick" are essentially variations on the theme "write a guide on how to get rich and sell it to other people"

I had a friend in high school that every week came with the new "money solution" found on a forum called "warrior", and he tried to crowndfund as much as possible in the class to pay for it... And in the end was something super simple like "sell this guide to others" or simply stupid like "go outside a stadium during a sport event and set an illegal face painting kiosk" or "do dropshipping on ebay using an Amazon prime trial account"
