I am a data science tech lead with hiring experience. I can offer honest feedback of your profile, in private. Can you provide contact info?
I'm a DS during the day but recently I started teaching python/ML to a couple of kids (around 8y). It's super nice to see them have fun!

When teaching ML, we mainly used pre-trained models. They learn the concept of data, train/test split, accuracy, and to build programs which use these models.

Ghostwriting in which sense? Blog posts?
Question: can you recommend any service to quickly create new accounts, but redirect them to my main one?

No, but kid genitalia pictures would need to be provided, right?
I imagine it can be useful to be able, in VR, to see more than a dozen people.

For example, a VR concert where you can attend with a ultra-realistic avatar?

Re:Ask HN: Will consumers ever have a use for 10Gbit internet on Wednesday March 02, 2022 @01:01PM (#30530460)
Things which currently blocked by not having 10Gbit internet (not saying that this is the only blocker):

- videocall with hundreds of people where everyone can see everyone else

- higher definition, extremely realistic VR

- instant transfer of gigantic files. I work as a data scientist and I'd love to just slack someone the result of a quick and dirty experiment on a 50GB dataset. It sounds ridiculous now, but it isn't.

- real-time collaborative editing of gigantic files (video, sound, tabular data).

What do you think about using https://trackthis.link/ ? It opens 100 tabs of random stuff to confuse trackers.

(It will ask for confirmation first, so you can click on the link and read more about it)

Yes. This article helped me a lot: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2012/01/23/salary-negotiation/

The guy has some other articles on optimising career path, which I really recommend.

I went from 65k to 87k to 170k in about three years.

This is total compensation (only counting real shares, no virtual stock) and I haven't worked for FAANG. The 170k company is a big corp though.
