    How I lean startup’d my way to $240k+ on the saturated App Store

    GOLD! 
    Just adding in my two cents, 3D games on a phone have some serious inconveniences for both developers and users (slower development time, take up more space, use more battery, etc.). Even non-mobile VR has yet to really prove itself as being worth while once the novelty wears off. We had a guy...

Everything else is on you. Take responsibility for your education. - find out what you're interested in and want...

    Why is Tai Lopez and Gary Vaynerchuk Getting More Engagement Than GoPro?

    there are probably more wannabee entrepreneurs than go pro enthusiast, also I think the former just attracts a different type of crowd than the latter so it seems like an apples and orange comparison to me

    The End of Moore's law - what might the business implications be?

    The progress we've seen in computers over the last 50 years can be roughly described by Moore's law. Essentially we've been making increasingly smaller transistors so that we can put more of them on a single chip. That technique is now approaching its fundamental limits. My personal conclusion...

    The folds are what allow a larger neocortex to fit into the same sized brain. The ones which appear smooth are already stretched out. A larger neocortex generally means more neurons (ie long-finned pilot whales have more neurons than humans) although it's not the whole picture. How they're wired...

    Short answer; yes, size matters when it comes to the neocortex. Long answer; http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/big-brain-gene-allowed-for-evolutionary-expansion-of-human-neocortex/ "The neocortex is so interesting because that's the seat of cognitive abilities, which, in a way, make...

    I think this is where we should be paying attention when it comes to AI, The moneky neocortex is about the size of a postage stamp. At this size, they are able to learn basic motor controls but have a limited understanding of higher level concepts. The human neocortex is about the size of a...

    Thanks for making this thread, I was thinking about this too. I think this type of disruption is where new opportunities are born. For example: Fully autonomous pickup truck + Wifi Controlled Drone = Mobile Inspection Unit So instead of sending an employee to the site, you can send the...

    End of my lead gen experiment - Lessons Learned

    Pretty much this. Although I've taken a lot of pre-cautions to avoid annoying people (not replying to the same ad more than once, not replying to ads that say "no email", "no trades", etc.) I initially only ask them if the car is available and to text me if that's the case. I give them a...

    End of my lead gen experiment - Lessons Learned

    A few months ago I built a fully automated bot which replied to car ads posted on kijiji (craigslist of Canada). I was working at a dealership myself at the time and was able to convert leads from this system. After leaving the dealership, I tried selling this system to other salespeople and...

    My bulletproof strategy for waking up on time

    MINDSET 
    Most people wake up with just enough time to get themselves ready for the daily grind. I struggled with this for years. I read the miracle morning twice for motivation, I tried multiple alarm clocks and different types of alarms, I tried to control my bedtime, kept a journal, etc. With all of...

    Help With Monetizing Lead Generation Site

    MARKETING 
    I'm also experimenting with a lead generation system and decided to charge for the service itself rather than by lead or lead converted. I'll be sending all potential leads to one client and they'll be paying monthly for it. I could almost certainly make more if I decided to charge per lead but...

    I live in Canada and recently started work at a car dealership. I built my own web bot which responds to online classifieds ads asking them if they would consider a dealership trade in but the results from this method have been underwhelming (1 / 100 will come in). There's another person at...
