Tell this to the 99% non techie populations
Not a fair comparison, this’s between developers and Apple, Apple doesn’t change you anything after you buy their phone.

My website started five years ago, It didn’t get any traffic the first three years before one of my quiz went viral. Now I have around 70k followers on Pinterest.

Business is not for all, believe me I have tried :) but I’m studying for my master’s degree.

Good question, my career is very important to me. It gives me an identity. I just can’t sit at home all day. I’m gonna die with boredom.

I run a popular Quiz website. I make around $6,000 per month from Google adsense. I work between 2-3 hours a week usually posting quiz links on my Pinterest page. My only expense is hosting which is around $20 per month (Digital Ocean). I have never advertised my website and it gets all the traffic from Pinterest Organically. Compare to my salary, I'm an IT Administrator in my day job and make $400 per month. I live in Ethiopia :) I thought this inspires my fellow HN. Good day.
Where i live most people use android and it's hard to transfer files via Bluetooth. I wish ios support universal Bluetooth protocol.

Re:Ethiopian Airlines: Boeing 737 Crashes on Way to Kenya on Sunday March 10, 2019 @06:49AM (#19351393)
Another 737 Max crashes in months, both after takeoff and both brand new, something is not right here.
To be fair all major stocks have increased the last five years.
If this’s not a bubble I don’t know what it’s
Do they have commercially available products or just R&D?
It's insane to have a 47% net profit margin.
