The capability of a forum software to be effectively usable to a user who is wasted is a fantastic litmus test. It's a test that should be used more. Those who blame the user instead of the software because the user is drunk are more concerned with pathetic high-horsing than actual pro-social...
Today I landed a fat lead. A **fat** lead. (this forum software is garbage, literarly no action path to formatting this right, tried every possible. combination on mobile. Tells you a lot that "it's the best".
I'm hoping for the following guidance. The lead is a startup who is pursuing a...
Find something selling well on ebay, and sell some of the same thing. Even if it's something stupid like a type of fidget spinner. At least then you can legitimately say "I conducted business". Retail is the most basic form of business, buy from X sell to Y at markup. Worked for Steve Jobs for...
Payroll is the biggest cost of running a business isn't it?
Before: men work, women stay home and raise the family.
After: everyone works, because "empowerment".
Net result: labor supply doubles. Increase supply, price goes down. How many men you hear about nowadays retiring off their bank...

Not unique. No barrier to entry.

Fact remains that no-one actually uses it for its intended purpose: commerce. Other than the criminals.
That immediately renders it a bullshit, speculative thing.
If I hear reports that someone somewhere has actually used it to pay for a loaf of bread, I'll buy.
But what if they.... are the room?
I'm trying to work out the "did you just assume my gender?" joke on this though. "Did you just assume my.. humanity?" I guess? Or my organicness?
Must be cooking up some strong wacko in those American universities.
For me it's the opposite. Had I been focused on the money earlier, respected its importance etc, it would've lead to success. Instead of screwing around with unimportant things like I did.
I really don't see the disconnect between care for others / community and making money, unless you're...
^ But then how can you get rich with your builds? I suppose you could not give yourself the title of "CEO", and not employ workers (just contractors), but then it's hard to see the point of believing that rule in the first place.
I have a hunch that this whole thing was his elaborate plan to get rightwing groupie play. He doesn't strike me as a particularly shiny guy, and tech city dating is tough.
Now in their eyes he's a rightwing knight battling the leftist Californian corporate dragon; and they (I assume) have to...
I'm still trying to understand the "sexually identifying as an expansive ornate building" thing.
My brain kind of views it as a challenge, like it wants to understand the thought process behind someone (a) viewing themselves as a building (b) but specifically it's expansive and ornate (c) it's...
Something I've noticed from my "winner research" is that the guy considered the market leader takes most of the money.
For instance, Tony Robbins. Sure, the rest of the motivation guys fight over the remainder, some do OK. But he's the billionaire because he's "the guy".
Then Tim Ferris...
@built one thing I thought about this is "sell the ads", by which I mean explain to the reader why they should disable the adblocker for your site.
I've never had a problem with well-targeted ads. If I'm on a car tuning forum and the ads are for new car parts, I've no problem with that at all...
Basically unless the "owner" of the content has expressly released the content into the public domain, it's a copyright violation to use it (not theft).
That applies, some might say ridiculously, even in cases where the owner has disappeared (so called "orphan works").
Whether or not it's...
