Re:Ask HN: What advice would you give for someone who just turned 30? on Wednesday July 10, 2024 @03:39AM (#40924541)
Worry about health and the food you eat.

Don't believe any recruiter saying you are asking for too much.

Remember people usually tell you what is good for them, no what is good for you.

It depends on your niche.

There are a few books by Marcus Chown that you would enjoy.

The latest I read, "Breakthrough" includes some chapters on cosmology.

I wrote a critic in my personal blog (domain is like my nickname).

My question is about the websites that have installed google ads sense.

I have heard this lots of times. I just wonder if it is true.

Did not know anything about a leak, to be honest.
