    Take Your Computer Security Seriously! YOU Are At Risk!

    GOLD! 
    That recommendation is very similar to Diceware, though there's less randomness if you just choose a pass-phrase from words you like or think you will remember. Diceware passphrases are pretty hard to beat if you follow the recommendations. Even if the attacker knows what you're using and...

    Ask Me Anything About SaaS ( I'm building my 7th )

    GOLD! HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Awesome thread. Could you expand on this? I know that deep learning is the new hotness these days. Besides a little tinkering in TensorFlow's Python libraries, I've got no real idea what's going on in this space. (And that was enough to let me know real quick that I was out of my league in...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    That's about what I suspected, but it's good to hear it from the horse's mouth. I'm actually not a Kindle store virgin. Back in 2013, I released a book there which grew out of a blog I was then running. It was in the fitness space, where I'd built a small but committed following (more by...

    [PROGRESS THREAD] ChickenHawk's Self-Published Fiction EBooks

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for sharing your updates ChickenHawk. I've learned a lot from reading through your threads. As an outsider looking in, it certanly looks like the Kindle space is hitting (well past?) a point of saturation. What's your outlook on that? Does the Kindle store still look like a good...

    What's your privacy setup?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Great advice here from @urianasi and @eliquid I used to be much more paranoid about security, especially with regard to disk encryption and tunneling HTTP traffic. These days I'm less worried about it, not because the issues have changed but because using Truecrypt volumes and having to keep...

    From nothing to something to everything

    Although I've never been in exactly your position I completely relate to what you're experiencing. When I was a teenager and even well into my 20s, I took everything personally. Any rejection, people disagreeing with me, I took it as a slight. Even cases where people probably didn't mean...

    Passive Income Robot - Death of Gurus

    GOLD! 
    The physicist Richard Feynman once gave a talk called Cargo Cult Science. Here's the short parable that gave it the name: Feynman's point was made in a very different context -- he was speaking about certain scientific studies which looked like science, because they did all the right things...

    Violinist seeks fastlane

    INTRO 
    Welcome from a fellow academic. The bad news is that advanced non-STEM graduate degrees aren't worth all that much on the job market. The good news is that they aren't worth much on the job market. I'm finding that you learn a lot of skills that directly translate to entrepreneurship, so I...

    Online Information Tracking

    If you go the WP route, Wishlist Member or MemberMouse will do most of what you want right out of the box. These will also have a somewhat less steep learning curve than coding a secure PHP + SQL web app from scratch.

    Making Money With Web Design 2017/2018

    HOT! 
    Thanks for this thread and all the nuggets in it, Fox. You're really hitting all the nails that have kept me from moving into web design as business. It's always felt like a huge gap between web designers, who as a rule don't know or care about selling, and the selling and marketing pieces...

    Fresh Start, No More @$#%# Action-Faking!

    EXECUTION 
    This is my world right now. Coming from a strong background in front- and back-end web-dev, I've internalized the "Just do it myself" script. Then I look up from the screen and realize I've been tweaking CSS styles for 8 hours to absolutely no purpose whatsoever. I've had to go cold turkey on...

    Building a Second Income Before the Second Kid

    EXECUTION 
    Great to see it working out for you, Joe. It's interesting that he didn't mention here what these ads were for. The other night on the webinar for this program, he told this same story, but it was in the context of running contests and giveaways to attract new subscribers. He did make a few...

    A Simple Formula For Creating Passive Income Online

    Before I made my way over here, I spent a little time lurking at a few of the "SEO" (black hat) forums. OP's business model is indistinguishable from the standard business model those guys are hawking. No kidding, 2-3 threads a week pushing the same affiliate links + SEO + niche keyword...

    Building a Second Income Before the Second Kid

    EXECUTION 
    On SEO question, my understanding (take with required grains of salt) is that (1) it won't harm their SEO and could just as well boost it as one more link provided that (2) you don't get a duplicate content penalty: The trick to this is either rewrite the post so that it's different enough not...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I finished UNSCRIPTED a few nights ago and I'm still processing it all (that's a good thing). I wasn't quite sure what to expect after TMF, but I think US manages to top it. It clearly synthesizes thoughts and feelings I think a lot of us can relate to -- why just being aliven can somtimes...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    I'm firmly in the camp of keeping my kids away from screens as much as possible. I've got two girls under three and they barely know there's such a thing as a computer. I was a teenager during the original 'net boom back in the 90s and, as much as it was (still is) a boon to have all that...

    Building a Second Income Before the Second Kid

    EXECUTION 
    Glad to be of help. Your original Notable thread was one of the reasons I wanted to join up here. I'll be keeping an eye out for the program, as you're in the position I'd like to be a year from now.

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I read TMF about a year ago and it was a game-changer for me. Working through UNSCRIPTED right now and it's every bit as good.

    I've got a Script, and the only prescription is more Fastlane

    INTRO 
    Hi everybody, I read TMF about a year ago and I thought it was remarkable. I just recently saw that MJ had released a second book, so of course I grabbed a copy of that (currently about 25% of the way through). I've been reading the forums here the last week and I'm amazed at how much knowledge...
