    Where are you going to travel once Covid restrictions lift?

    I might go there in the spring with my mom... if I can stand her. GF might come with. As for suggestions, I don't have any. Maybe go to the places where you can eat raw octopus? I'd also get Kobe steak if you can afford it. Should be the best in the world. Maybe spend a night in a capsule hotel?

    Case Study: October 2022 Spam Update hitting a global logistics company

    My client got screwed over by the oct spam update. I found out I have this trait in the Briggs Myers personality system called extraverted thinking. I think out loud and that's how I think through things. People who are Te also tend to write a lot too. So, here, I'll describe the problem, a few...

    So who’s gonna pay $8 for Twitter verification?

    Holy shit. the FBI was telling twitter what to censor. Freedom of speech my ass. America is not no fuckign democracy and there's no rights there. It's a fucking totalitarian system just like any other POS country. Prove me wrong.

    Google Algorithm Updates - 2022 Ongoing Discussion

    This client of mine has like an 80% drop in traffic across a few ccTLDs. This corresponds exactly to the October Spam Update. I looked into it and, guess what the cause is? duplicate content. The ccTLDs are exactly the same except for the telephone number and addresses. Google has been having...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    Yeah, life in Europe is nice. I got it from "My capital capital is not though and is what I'm currently most focused on acquiring." There's two definitions of "desperate" from https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/desperate. One is that you're in a bad situation and you want to...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    ... you're desperate for money. Got it. This is why I left the US. People there just want money and will never have enough. The innovation that results are quite stupid. Compare this to Sweden, which gave everyone free high speed internet in the 90's, and there was a kid who liked downloading...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    It sounds dumb if you explain it like that with that attitude but it is also why someone who isn't from a well off family can't get into a prestigious law firm, since they didn't have the unwritten knowledge of how to fit into a prestigious law firm. If you're contempt at selling stuff to just...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    ... I didn't explain it clearly in the OP and it wasn't your fault for misunderstanding it. Ok. Glad you spoke up. And you're welcome for these posts! Cheapest education you'll get (lol) Well, dude, if you just live in one culture and don't move out of that culture and don't sell to people in...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    ... I had a feeling you'd reply to this. Anyways, this theory is apolitical and Cultural Capital is not just about high culture. It can be low culture too. So, to re-explain it for you, Phil Robertson has cultural capital. He knows "trailer trash" culture (ie low culture), hunting culture, and...

    What is Cultural Capital and how do you acquire more of it?

    This might seem out of left field for The Board Room but, I swear, this is key for "macro-level strategy and execution." So, I wrote "What is Money and How do you acquire more of it?" the other month and it takes about the financial side of capital. Now I'm going to talk about the social side...

    DR90+ Sites Deleting Product Reviews

    It wasn’t performing well? i had a DA 60 travel domain and we tested writing travel review articles. So we wrote 40 or 80 review articles at 2,000 words. They didn’t do well since only that article was about the product. You need a whole silo filled with many pages about the topic to rank. Not...

    My old CTO is adding more developers to increase his power (and pay) in the company

    So you're misunderstanding Veblen as a communist but Veblen is not a communist and you're actually agreeing with him. Let me explain. He is a critic of capitalism but is not a marxist or a communist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorstein_Veblen). He doesn't advocate for communism. Not every...

    My old CTO is adding more developers to increase his power (and pay) in the company

    I re-read this and the premise that is off is that we were hitting out metrics. The company reached record highs when I was fired. What my post is about is finding ways to argue for a raise, when the company is doing well. I know my old bosses. They would not want to give me a raise out of the...

    Is a Global Hard Recession coming in 2023?

    COVID in 2020 and 2021. War in Ukraine in 2022. Another Great Depression ahead in 2023. Inflation at record numbers. Huge tech layoffs. FML. Call me crazy but I think this is a sign of the end of days and we're here because we rejected Jesus. This is what we get for embracing Socialism and...

    How To Find Terms With Low DR Sites Ranking 1-5 in SERPs?

    I signed up for this and bought their Black Friday sale for 500,000 credits at $150 (50% off). Me and my KW research guy tested it out and we think that the tool is stupid. I read the help guides and the methodology is correct but the results we got for our niche were quite dumb. First off, we...

    Tax avoidance strategies

    Some good ones here! I have another one from my real estate agent. I was looking at a €255,000 apartment (with VAT already included) and had the cash in my LLCs bank account. I didn't want to pay myself €255,000 though as I'll probably owe €100,000 on taxes on it making the whole purchase...

    Tax avoidance strategies

    What are some tax avoidance strategies that you know? This is not evasion. You are paying your taxes. Just the right amount determined by the law. Live outside the US for 330 days a year to be exempt on federal taxes up to about 120,000 USD in income a year. Start a solo 401k to put up to...

    Alternative monetization for YouTube

    just keep doing it if it is a passion of yours and you can sell the channel to a brand in the vertical. Let’s say your passion is rock climbing. You have good user engagement and have a following. You can sell the channel to a rock climbing gear company and it’ll save them on sponsorship and...

    My old CTO is adding more developers to increase his power (and pay) in the company

    Dude, from here https://www.buildersociety.com/threads/lessons-i-learned-from-taking-a-startup-from-36-000-to-6-000-000.6435/ it is obvious that the company I was in was toxic and under bad management. They even under-paid my bonus and gave me a non-disclosure statement during the bonus payment...

    My old CTO is adding more developers to increase his power (and pay) in the company

    But how would the manager’s manager (in this case the two co founders) know how much an employee is generating in revenue? They don’t. It is totally subjective. Unless they are salesmen, there’s no way to know exactly an employees direct contribution to the company’s bottom line. It isn’t a...
