Pakistan on Top 4 The Fastest Growing Freelance Markets in The WorldHow to break $1M in revenue in a business staffed only by the owners
The U.S. topped the world in the growth of freelance earnings in the second quarter, with that figure rising 78% since the same quarter in 2018, according to the global payment platform Payoneer’s Global Gig Economy Index.The next fastest-growing markets were:
-
the U.K. (59% growth)
-
Brazil (48%)
-
Pakistan (47% growth)
-
Ukraine (36% growth)
-
the Philippines (35% growth)
-
India (29% growth)
-
Bangladesh (27% growth)
9 Russia (20% growth)
- Serbia (19% growth).
The report was based on a sample of the more than 300,000 freelancers in Payoneer’s network.
So why is the freelance economy growing so fast in these countries? It varies by country.
WeWork IPO
FILE – In this Jan. 16, 2018 file photo, Adam Neumann, center, co-founder and CEO of WeWork, attends the opening bell ceremony at Nasdaq in New York. Office space-sharing company WeWork is getting ready to go public, adding to a growing list of techASSOCIATED PRESS
“In more mature markets like the U.S. and U.K., many companies, when they want to employ people, want to take less risk,” says Eyal Moldovan, general manager of Payoneer. “That is why freelancing continues to grow at a very high pace.”There are also many professionals who voluntarily choose to freelance for lifestyle reasons, he said. “Platforms make it possible for them, and the work-from-home and gig economy is suitable for them,” Moldovan says.
In one sign of the increasing number of people doing independent work in the U.S., the coworking giant WeWork filed paperwork for its this past Wednesday, saying it planned to raise $1 billion in its initial public offering. Many free agents who need office space have turned to coworking spaces.
In other markets, a key driver of the growth in freelancers’ earnings is government-proposed outsourcing for industry, sometimes supported by tax breaks. “They are endorsing it,” says Moldovan.
Take Ukraine. It has created a special taxation regime for IT outsourcers and product companies that release them from the value-added tax, notes Moldovan. It also lets them employ freelancers free of labor tax as subcontractors. There are also simplified foreign exchange controls for these companies.
In the Philippines, the government-funded Rural Impact Sourcing Technical Training Project provides training for local talent with Information and Communications Technology-based knowledge to enable them to succeed as digital workers and entrepreneurs.
In India, the government provides freelancing opportunities for local talent under Digitize India Platform program. The government also provides training in digital skills through the India Skills Online program and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship focuses on supporting youth, women, and underrepresented groups.
Younger generations flock to freelancing
At the same time, many freelancers in developing economies are young adults looking to get a foothold in a career.
Pakistan, where many freelancers are under age 30, is a good example. “In Pakistan, there is a younger generation seeking more opportunities,” says Moldovan. “The domestic market isn’t big and developed.”
Here’s how the generations stacked up, in terms of earnings, in Payoneer’s research.
On a global level, the 35-44-year-old age group is doing the best at making money. This group contributes 32% of earnings even though it represents only 23% of freelancers.
The youngest cohort of freelancers, those ages 18-34, made up 64% of freelancers but only earned 53% of total earnings.
Those ages 45-54 made up 9% of freelancers and brought in 9.4% of earnings.
Freelancers ages 55+ made up 5% of freelancers and brought in 4.9% of earnings. -

#IndiaUsingClusterBombsIndia, not a signatory to Convention on Cluster Munitions
Indian Army doesn’t use cluster bombs except warlike scenario
Last time army used cluster munition was in 1971 when pakistan was broken into 2 pieces
Only weak pakistani army used cluster bombs that too on its own citizensIndian brutality is rebirth of Zionism. History reveals that no victory in war sustained for long period, fought with illegal means, reasons and low morality. Use of #ClusterBomb in Kashmir is evidence of Modi and BJP’s evil agenda. @UN and @hrw it is time to pay attention.
On the reaction of successful dialogues b/w IK & Trump regarding IOK DISPUTE, #IndiaUsingClusterBombs to target innocent Kashmiri.
We urge @realDonaldTrump to summon india as the said aggression is open violation of international humanitarian laws. #KashmirIssue needs attention https://t.co/brYflRPKebIndia trying to put kashmiries on the wall but we pakistani promise the people of kashmir with the help of Allah SWT we will not let that happen.
Kashmir will be free soon In Shaa Allah .keep your spirit high .

Sometimes a thousands word story cant explain the pain of slavery but a single shot. This is kashmir. The valley of fear n tear n state sponcered genocide. #IndiaUsingClusterBombs https://t.co/A6QdzLvcnh
It’s time for the international community to take notice of this Indian blatant violation of international laws on the use of cluster ammunition targeting innocent citizens#IndiaUsingClusterBombs

Assignment No. 01
Total Marks: 20Due Date: May 13, 2019
Instructions:
Please read the following instructions carefully before submitting assignment. It should be clear that your assignment will not get any credit if:
♣ The assignment is submitted after due date.
♣ The submitted assignment does not open or file is corrupt.
♣ You have not followed steps described in Detailed Instructions of the problem statement.
♣ Assignment is copied (partial or full) from any source (websites, forums, students, etc.) Strict action will be taken in this regard.Note: You have to upload only .doc or .docx file. Assignment in any other format (extension) will not be accepted and will be awarded with zero marks.
Objectives:
The objective of this assignment is to provide hands-on experience of System Programming concepts including:
• How can interrupts be generated
• What are Interrupts
• Interrupt functions writing
• TSR program
• Calling interrupt functionsFor any assignment related query, contact at [email protected]
Problem Statement:
You are required to writ C program using interrupt 65H to print your own Student ID, Name or your Study Program depending upon the number input i.e 1,2,3 respectively. When the user enters 1 it will print your own Student ID, if 2 then print your own Name and finally, if the user enters 3, it will print your Study Program.
Instructions:- Declare 3 character strings st1,st2,st3 having Student ID, Name and Study Program
- You should save interrupt 65H vector in a pointer to vector variable name oldint65 through getvect instruction.
- Call any new function i.e newint65( ) through setvect instruction.
- Through printf instruction, show message “What you want to print: Press 1,2,3= ” i.e
printf(“What you want to print: Press 1,2,3= ”); - Then use scanf to take input input in an integer variable i.e scanf(“%d”, &i)
- In this program, you will implement interrupt 65H which is currently not used by operating system.
- Place service number in AH register. Interrupt 65H will check its value and will perform relevant function.
- Interrupt 65H function must check for Service Number using Switch Statement. In Case of Service Number 1, it should print Student ID i.e BC123456 and in case of Service Number is 2, it should print your own full name i.e Ali Ahmad. Similarly your study program i.e BS/MCS etc should be printed in case of number 3.
- Use keep() function to make this program TSR.
Note: Your assignment solution will be in this Word file (.doc or .docx) containing code of C only as given in sample solution:
Best of Luck!
Sample Solution:
//Header Files #include<stdio.H> #include<BIOS.H> #include<DOS.H> #include<conio.H> void interrupt (*oldint 65)(); //To store current interrupt char str1[80]={“BC123456$”} // Write your own particulars char str2[80]={“Ali Ahmad$”} char str3[80]={“Degree Program: BS$”} int i; void interrupt newint65(void); //NewInt prototype void main() { // Keep vector of current INT //setting to newint65 clrscr(); printf(“What you want to print: Press 1,2,3=>”); scanf(“%d”,&i); _AH=i; getch(); } void interrupt newint65() { switch(i) { case 1: //Service Number // Register for output. break; } case 2: break; } case 3: break; } default: { } }

Report: SIM swappers exploit eSIM vulnerabilities to hijack phone numbersAccording to BleepingComputer, SIM swappers have adapted their techniques to steal phone numbers by transferring them onto new eSIM cards.
These eSIMs, embedded in mobile device chips, function like physical SIM cards but offer remote reprogramming capabilities.
Exploiting eSIMs by Cybercriminals
Embedded Subscriber Identity Modules (eSIMs) function similarly to physical SIM cards but are digitally stored on mobile device chips. They can be reprogrammed remotely and facilitate various functionalities such as activation and deactivation through QR code scans provided by service providers.
The report also highlights a surge in eSIM exploitation by SIM swappers worldwide, as noted by F.A.C.C.T., a Russian cybersecurity firm. By exploiting eSIM functionalities, criminals circumvent security measures to take control of phone numbers, resulting in unauthorized access to sensitive accounts.
Attackers’ Approach
Instead of relying on social engineering or insider assistance, attackers exploit vulnerabilities in mobile accounts using stolen credentials. They initiate number porting to a new device by generating QR codes within hijacked accounts, effectively seizing control of the victim’s number.
Protective Measures
Furthermore, once cybercriminals obtain the victim’s number, they exploit it for fraudulent activities, including accessing banking services and messenger apps.
To mitigate these risks, users should use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and consider additional security measures like physical keys or authenticator apps for critical accounts.
In summary, the emergence of eSIM technology has inadvertently provided SIM swappers with new opportunities for exploitation. As cyber threats evolve, users must remain vigilant and implement robust security practices to protect their digital assets and personal information. -

Galaxy S24 series full spec distance blurted on X.comWe ’re lower than a month down from the launch of Samsung’s rearmost flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S24 range, If rumors are to be believed. Over on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, leaker Evan Blass has participated what appears to be an early look at a preamble to the coming Galaxy Unpacked that says “ Galaxy AI is coming ” on January 18th at 3AM KST. That translates to 1PM ET on January 17th, in line with a preliminarily reported date for the launch. Blass also participated a blurted spec distance for the three bias which confirms numerous of their preliminarily bruited features.
According to the spec distance, Samsung is formerly again planning to offer three models as part of the range. There’s the standard Galaxy S24, with a6.2- inch screen, the S24 Plus which goes up to6.7 elevation, and the S24 Ultra which has a screen6.8 elevation in size. The spec distance lists all three as being powered by Qualcomm’s rearmost flagship processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, although rumors suggest that outside the US, Canada, and China, the phones will be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 2400.
For cameras, the S24 Ultra looks to have a 200- megapixel main detector( same as the S23 Ultra), while the S24 and S24 Plus top out at 50 megapixels. The S24 Ultra’s blowup lens will offer a drone of over to 10x, while the other two models can go up to 3x. Other bruited camera specs include 10- megapixel blowup detectors on the S24 and S24 Plus, and a brace of blowup lenses on the Ultra — one 50- megapixel with a 5x optic drone( which can reportedly be cropped to offer 10x drone) and one 10- megapixel with 3x optic drone. All three phones are bruited to have 12- megapixel ultrawides and 12- megapixel selfie cameras.
In terms of batteries, according to the blurted spec distance the S24 has a 4,000 mAh capacity, the S24 Plus 4,900 mAh, and the Ultra 5,000 mAh. There’s IP68 water and dust resistance across the range, and the spec distance confirms that the S24 Ultra will use titanium in its construction, versus aluminum in the S24 and S24 Plus.
Images posted by Arsène Lupin on X have you covered, If you want a complete look at what the phones look like in numerous colors and from all angles. The three phones have a veritably analogous look to their 2023 forerunners, although the S24 Ultra reportedly has a fully flat screen this time around according to earlier leaks, jilting the slight angles seen on the S23 Ultra. Available colors include black, argentine, grandiloquent, and unheroic, however there may be fresh colors available via Samsung’s own store.
Overall it looks like it could be an iterative time for Samsung’s flagship lineup from a tackle perspective. But from a software perspective effects could be a lot more intriguing, if the “ Galaxy AI is coming ” tease in Blass’s preamble timekeeper is anything to go by. Last month, Korea Times reported that Samsung’s generative AI model, dubbed “ Gauss, ” could be integrated into the forthcoming Galaxy S24 lineup and run natively on device to induce and edit images, compose emails, epitomize documents, and help with coding. Samsung has also spoken about using AI to restate phone calls in real time. The features could offer Samsung an intriguing edge as it attempts to contend with Google’s rearmost AI- invested Pixel.

Tax reforms is a step toward prosperous PakistanBroadening the tax base by eliminating preferential rates coupled with a lower headline rate for all resulted in considerable revenue increases over the subsequent years. #BePakistaniPayTaxes
In advanced countries 35-50% of income is given back to govt in the form of taxes. And everyone pay taxes willingly or unwillingly. Why can’t people in Pakistan pay taxes as per their obligations. #BePakistaniPayTaxes
Tax leakages impact not only the country but put extra pressure on our working class. Loopholes lead to borrowing! Avoid debts, pay tax! #BePakistaniPayTaxes
Pakistan has one of the lowest tax-paying populations in the world with only 1 percent of the citizens filing their tax returns. .
Paying tax is not punishment it is a source through which government finances its activities.
After 70 years of existence, the country has less than two million income tax filers, one of the lowest tax-to-GDP ratios in the world, and a tax system which riddled with inequity and corruption. #BePakistaniPayTaxes
