I thought Uber/Lyft was 1099 employees (Independent Contractors)? I don’t know of any 1099s that received any medical benefits unless they pay for themselves.

Are Project Marketplaces the Next Big Step in EdTech?


One of the biggest challenges in tech education today is moving from theory to hands-on projects. While platforms like GitHub, Codecademy, and Coursera cover tutorials and collaboration, a new category is quietly emerging: project marketplaces.

Some early attempts include:

GitHub Marketplace – extensions, tools, and templates developers can buy.

Codementor & MentorCruise – pairing mentorship with guided coding.

Udemy Project Courses – teaching via real project breakdowns.

The vision is clear:

Beginners could buy projects to dissect and learn from.

With mentorship, they could build their own skills faster.

Eventually, they could sell projects themselves, creating a self-sustaining loop.

This raises key questions for the tech community:

Could project marketplaces reduce the “experience gap” in tech hiring?

How do we balance learning value vs. copy-paste risks?

Will they complement open-source collaboration, or compete with it?

As hiring becomes more portfolio-driven, it will be interesting to see if these marketplaces evolve into a serious part of the developer ecosystem.

Emerging Trend: Marketplaces for Buying, Learning, and Selling Tech Projects


A growing challenge for students and early-career developers is bridging the gap between theory and practical, portfolio-ready projects. While platforms exist for tutorials, freelancing, and open-source, a new concept is gaining traction: project marketplaces.

The idea is simple:

Learners can purchase real, working projects to study and build upon.

Mentorship or guided learning helps them understand the “why” behind the code.

Skilled users can then resell their own projects, creating a cycle of learning and contribution.

This approach sits at the intersection of edtech, peer-to-peer marketplaces, and open-source collaboration. It raises some important questions:

How can such marketplaces ensure quality control and originality?

Could they become a bridge for students with little project experience to gain confidence?

Or would they risk encouraging dependency rather than skill-building?

With the demand for practical, job-ready experience growing, it will be interesting to see whether project marketplaces become a legitimate part of the tech ecosystem — or just a passing experiment.

Could a Marketplace for Buying, Learning, and Selling Projects Change How Developers Grow?


In the tech world, aspiring developers often face the same roadblock: “How do I build real-world projects and gain experience if I don’t already have skills or opportunities?”

Traditional coding bootcamps and online courses try to fill this gap, but they don’t always provide the hands-on project exposure or mentorship that’s needed to feel job-ready.

Now imagine a platform that works differently:

Developers could buy real projects (with code + documentation) to study and learn from.

Educators and mentors could teach by dissecting those projects step-by-step.

And once learners level up, they could sell their own projects on the same marketplace — turning the cycle into a self-sustaining ecosystem.

This approach combines project-based learning, mentorship, and a marketplace model.

🔹 Do you think such a platform could realistically work in today’s developer ecosystem?
🔹 Or would it face the same challenges as other edtech/startup models?

I’d love to hear what this community thinks — is this an idea worth exploring, or just another passing trend?

mapcomplete.org/drinking_water can help to both find and contribute data (and pictures) to OSM


Would a platform that lets people buy real projects, learn with mentors, and later sell their own work be valuable in tech — or is it destined to fail?


I’ve been thinking about the gap between learning theory and building real-world projects.
What if there was a platform where:

You could buy practical, real-world projects to learn from

Mentorship was included, guiding you through the project
**
And once you gain confidence, you could **sell your own projects
back on the platform

This could create a cycle of learning → building → teaching → earning .
Do you think something like this would actually gain traction in the tech world, or would people not find it useful?

What would make such a platform truly valuable for developers, learners, and mentors?

Memory Graph Web Debugger


Hi, I'm new, I'd like to share my new Memory Graph Web Debugger that you can use to visualize and debug your Python data structures with just one click. This is an example of a binary tree implementation. I feel this tool could level up Python education. I'm interested in your thoughts about it, feedback welcome.

Wrong. This is operational security warfare. China, Russia, and every adversary should be holding the same attitude towards us if they're worth their salt at protecting their internal national assets.

It doesn't matter that its Chinese people by blood, its Team-U vs Team-C.

Now, the shitbags crying about this probably are doing it from ill-intentioned positions and are most definitely racist, but while their broad intentions are evil, this is one of those cliché "broken clock right twice a day" moments.

But the desalination process is powered by the energy manufacturing, the water is not shared between them. I was more thinking about the safety and capability of the energy manufacturing, as fallout makes other systems much more difficult.
in reply to fmstrat

Well, yes, dumping irradiated water into the ocean was always an option. So long as the power-generating components aren't the same as the desalination components, you're good as far as the potable water is concerned. This isn't much of a solution for the irradiated water, though, any more than just dumping it into the ocean was in the first place.


How Turkmenistan turned censorship into a lucrative extortion scheme by intentionally restricting internet access in order to sell its own VPNs to citizens


::: spoiler Comments
- Hackernews.
:::

In July 2021, a sudden drop in Tor usage in Turkmenistan called our attention. Tor would come to understand that this marked the beginning of a new era of censorship and restriction in this post-Soviet country. But let's rewind...

The Tor Community has long been defending internet freedom, running relays and providing bridges to combat internet censorship.

Over the years, the Tor Project has called for action to run more bridges, Snowflake proxies, while we've investigated and adapted our anti-censorship strategies, and shared information about online censorship in Turkmenistan.

Modern censorship circumvention systems are generally built around the concept of "collateral damage", where a censor cannot block access without blocking the entire internet or popular online services. However, in Turkmenistan, the censors' behavior has been strikingly different. They have openly blocked vast parts of the internet without concern for the collateral consequences, sparking curiosity: why do Turkmenistan's censors seem unbothered by the collateral damage their actions cause?

Verizon has confirmed to customers in stores and online that its network is having an issue on Saturday. Many people have been unable to connect and make or receive calls for hours, while DownDetector’s tracker peaked in the afternoon at around 3:30PM ET with more than 20,000 reports. Some customers report their service has continued to function throughout the day, so it’s unclear what the cause is exactly.

Downdetector’s outage map showed hotspots in many cities, and Verizon didn’t specifically list affected areas. On X, the @VerizonSupport account confirmed the issue in response to customers’ questions, but didn’t have additional details on restoration or how widespread it is

I highly doubt they can't stop it and slightly suspect they don't want to. You can install any version of Windows (even enterprise), use MASgrave, wipe the whole thing, reinstall it, and it'll pass online activation as genuine. There's just no way that's an accident.

Team V.R suspicious release?


I recently downloaded this file from Audioz (I didn't run the exe, just extracted the rar.) Check out the comments, many people have run it through sandbox environments like any.run or hybrid analysis and gotten iffy results:

virustotal.com/gui/file/d1fdb9…

It looks like there are quite a few analysis services besides virustotal that are marking the file as malicious.

hybrid-analysis.com/sample/d1f…
bazaar.abuse.ch/sample/d1fdb98…

This is a popular upload on Audioz and is also listed directly on Team VR's website, so what gives? I thought Team VR was considered safe. Maybe someone experienced needs to look at their stuff a little more closely?

Not many flags. Nothing in the behavioral analysis makes me suspicious. Just looks like an installer.
