If you put in the requisite time and energy to learn photography and achieve a certain level of skill you could theoretically do 1 or 2 $4000 weddings a week.
This is of course considering that you have a portfolio, good reputation, steady clients, and someone else to take care of the business side (which will cut into your earnings).
I believe there was an article a while back that showed it was trivial to track a person by their use of vocabulary and grammar style.
But it's probably still better to use a pseudonym, even if only to deter the laziest of tracking.

History will only repeat itself, but with greater and more severe repercussions for our apathy and ignorance.
Could someone perhaps take the relevant suggestions from this HN discussion and modify a fork of the repo?
I would do it myself, but I don't think I am proficient enough at CSS to sift through the comments effectively.
Is this why ebooks in general are so expensive? I always wondered why digital copies cost as much as the physical ones, and I always thought the publishers were just being greedy.
I think the OPs concern is more with his lack of experience combined with his age. Not just that he's in his 30s, but that he's in his 30s and has almost no work experience.
I'm pretty sure there is a general consensus that young people learn faster, and this might seep into a decision in whether to hire a 20 something with no experience or 30 something with no experience.
I don't have first-hand, or even second-hand experience of war. I can only go by what I read in articles like this.
But logically, the author is making a lot of sense. Any apathy or desensitization to killing is either a result of social conditioning (sociopathy) or a psychological predisposition (psychopathy). There are of course other ways this could come about, and the author's 80% figure is probably an over-estimation, but I think the proliferation of military contractors really increases the chances that what the author says is true.
I wonder if there has ever been a study that tries to figure out how prevalent these kind of issues are.
Kids are going to have a hard time unlearning the fake reality presented to them by video games.
Thanks for the link.
I'm not a frequent user of Appsumo. How long do deals like this last? Do you have to be logged in to take the course: as in, can only the purchaser take the course?
My initial reaction was DON'T BE EVIL.
But after some thought and some reading, I realize that technology advances and we don't know what the results and consequences will be until quite a bit of time has passed.
I really want to trust Google, so please don't be evil.
A bit torn on the issue and don't have a strong opinion either way. I slightly lean towards they shouldn't have to hand over the password, but I really thing courts should try to be flexible (is that even possible?) and go case by case.
Will be looking towards hearing more opinion on the issue.
Could the higher IQ scores be a result of the popularization of the internet in the last couple decades? Moving from a platform that spoon-feeds you information to a platform which encourages the user to actively seek out the information they need/want, from a passive experience to an active one, surely contributed to better problem solving skills.
