Українські письменники або дотичні до індустрії люди, розкажіть наскільки складний процес видавницта і чи можна жити, заробляючи на книжках? Наскільки ваші очікування виявились невідповідними до реальності? І найголовніше, де ви берете стільки дисципліни щоб написати історію в 200-300-400 сторінок???
Я не маю на увазі AI слоп книжки на амазоні.
Останні декілька років бачу що ніша парфумерії стала достатньо конкурентною, аромати майже всі однакові і єдине що відрізняється це маркетинг.
Що скажете наскільки маржинальна ніша, скільки потребую вкладень для старту?
Нещодавно був на стрімі одного українського кіберспортсмена (в минулому). І що він що його підписнки обговорювали інвестування в акції світових компаній.
Питання чи в 2026 є адекватні сервіси для інвестування в акції чи до сих пір костильна історія? Я не про золото, не про крипту чи опціони. Чи може українець купити акції боінг наприклад?
So I smoked 7 years in a row. From my childhood I knew I will start smoking but I decided to do it in 18.
Entered in university and in 1st day of my 18th I bought my first pack. It ended up with electric one-time banana peach gay elfbar stuff. My girl just stopped smoking after 1 year and asked me, so I agreed.
I did it quite easy: just bought vape without nicotine, used it 3 weeks and that’s all. I don’t smoke 1.5 years already but I miss this feeling of freedom which cigarettes gave me back in days. No books, no patches, no therapy.
I understand that I don’t need a cigarette -> I need freedom, traveling, emotions. And cigarette will be just one more blocker and actually the thing which takes my freedom away, isn’t it?
I smoked several times these 1.5 years, but I didn’t get addicted. I believe that I will start again but I decided that I want to make it as choice, not just a blind addiction. I want to do it when I will have my own apartment with balcony, not just smoke it at the street as I’m renting flat rn.
I’m preparing to take HTB AI Read Teamer Certification but I’m wondering on the exam process:
Exam is 7 days, is it proctored and the proctor will spectate for 24/7, what will be if I’ll have the electricity off?
Do I need to know exactly how to write python code in jupyter? I got all of the concepts and understanding but used google and ai to write code because I didn’t spend time to know the syntax of libraries used in jupyter to approach csv datasets, process them, teaching and so on.
I actually wanted to get a skill and understanding on how to test and approach AIs, not to studying and remembering syntax + it’s skill-first studying for me to then find vulnerabilities in AIs but will be ok to get the certificate as well)
Os if anyone already passed is it blackbox-related e.g. you have web-based ai so find vulns or will I need to dig these 5k rows csv files? 🥲
Quick background: 8 years experience in the field pf cybersecurity, auditing, penetration testing, etc.
Conditions: I wasn’t able to take vacation out of current job to prepare and pass exam so I needed to study in parallel with my job.
First, I found it easy and was told my colleagues that the exam itself is easy. So I took only hemang doshi udemy course + official QAE, spent around 10-12 hours for preparation and I failed with 447 score out of 450.
CISM isn’t harder than other ISACA/ISC2 exams but finding the best lesson materials is the most complicated thing! E.g. CISSP is very popular, it’s hard to prepare but at least you have one-line and well-equipped materials along the way, while for CISM I took 4 different courses to found 2 of them which at least have the same terminology and the way of thinking!
So, my recommendation:
Pass 1 practice exam in official Q&A db to understand the format of questions and set the score.
Then go to cybrary and take the CISM preparation videocourse -> it will be your best ground and foundation. Only videos, don’t worry to take all labs and don’t confuse yourself with their practice tests.
Watch all CISM preparation videos by Pete Zerger on youtube, they are free. Honestly for me it was the best resource, much better that hemang doshi udemy, the terminology is exactly as stated in ISACA. I spend 3 hours before the actual exam in the exam’s day and I regretted I didn’t take it earlier!
Pass the second practice exam in Q&A, check the progress, if you have 70% score and more -> feel free to schedule your exam, my latest prayer exam score was 72% and I passed.
If you still doubt, include pocket prep in ios in your daily routine, I get used to take 20 questions daily (10 in the morning + 10 before bed).
Bad resources:
Hemang Doshi udemy course is too old and overrated.
Linkedin CISM preparation course is very “out of isaca context”.
CISM All-in-one book. After materials above the book is useless, I passed all mini-tests in the end of section with 0 or 1 mistake, but they are too easy. Book is just terminology and don’t show you have different domain are linked e.g. strategy -> program -> methodology
Good luck!
