    How to raise 5M on Kickstarter and Become an instant Millionaire

    HOT! 
    It's even more interesting because his first attempt failed: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ryangrepper/the-coolest-cooler-with-blender-music-and-so-much

    Sleep Habits Cause Liver Damage (I was shocked when I read this)

    HOT! 
    Except that it's way easier to binge on a pizza than on white rice... Again, we don't live in a lab, and psychology matters. If treating bread and sugar as evil gets better results than the opposite, evil it is! For fat people it's often easier to avoid the pizza entirely than to try to work...

    Sleep Habits Cause Liver Damage (I was shocked when I read this)

    HOT! 
    Did you miss these posts? If over 1/3 of American adults have insulin resistance and/or are clinically obese, how is that going to extremes? and I'm not saying that they can't get fit, only that what's going to work best for them might not be what works best for you. Everyone isn't you...

    Sleep Habits Cause Liver Damage (I was shocked when I read this)

    HOT! 
    http://www.webmd.com/diabetes/guide/insulin-resistance-syndrome "It is estimated that 34% of adult Americans have insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome." And if you need to lose weight, you're obviously more likely to be a part of that 34%...

    Quit university for self-directed learning?

    Does it really sound like a good idea to let what people think of you drive this decision? You already know that they'll think you're crazy. Aren't these all the same question? What if you do fail? What if you fail but try again anyway? If you fail for the next few years and decide it was...

    Sleep Habits Cause Liver Damage (I was shocked when I read this)

    HOT! 
    So you don't think that insulin resistance is a thing that exists? or diabetes? Do you really think your body handles food the same way that a diabetic's does? That's great, but unless you've been really fat, you don't really know what it takes to fix that problem. Sure, you can say...

    Sleep Habits Cause Liver Damage (I was shocked when I read this)

    HOT! 
    Everyone says that but it doesn't really mean anything. It may be technically true, but that doesn't mean the factors that go into it are simple. Do you think metabolism has no effect on the amount of calories that someone burns and that there's no way to change someone's metabolism? Do you...

    What is your personality? Find it out with a quick test!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Imo, the big gain from thinking about personality types isn't self-learning. It's thinking about how other people think. We all do this instinctively to some degree, but realizing that you can actually put people into buckets based on how they think and the types of things they prefer can be...

    Is it time for a new CMS platform?

    Pico is flat and open source. Haven't tried it yet, but considering launching my next site with it. No idea how plugin-friendly it is, but if you want a light cms, having lots of plugins seems a bit at odds with that goal.

    Out of a Funk - a Newbie's Journey In Self Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    Ya, when you read things normally, especially things that you wrote yourself, you can accidentally skip over tons of errors because you already know what it's supposed to say. Reading it backwards rips you out of that mode, making it almost impossible to get into any sort of reading flow, and...

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    Nothing so leet now, but this was my goldfarming setup in college! (@Catalyst had the gimp chair hehe) This was my view when I first moved to Norway, though I've since "upgraded" to a worse view with a 5 minute commute.

    Out of a Funk - a Newbie's Journey In Self Publishing

    PUBLISHING 
    No idea if this would be helpful to anyone else as it sounds really painful to use on an actual book, but it's a trick that I use when proofreading things. Read it backwards, sentence by sentence. This forces you to do it slowly and look at each sentence in isolation of it's context.

    How to identify the potential value of an app.

    Do it yourself or have the developers sign an NDA and hope/pray. However, most people worry WAY too much about people stealing their idea. (yes, the "way" deserved bold, italics, and underline!)

    Hostgator Problems

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I don't really want to plug my host because as soon as I do, they'll go downhill, and then I'll feel like an a$$ >< (happened with both Dreamhost and HostGator... had good luck with both of them for a while, but things change). It really depends on your budget and how important it is that your...

    Hostgator Problems

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Change hosts fast. As LightHouse said, both HostGator and DreamHost are owned by EIG now. They buy hosting companies and ruin them. I used to have accounts at both of them, and they eventually turned to shit. They were fine for a while, but it's just a matter of time until your server is...

    Elok Musk of Teslamotors - All patent now belonga to you

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Brilliant marketing. Probably seems insane to the corporate folk, but as he says in the cilp, the existing industry is only interested in perpetuating itself (if any of the big players wanted to convert the market to electric, it would have done so already) and if they actually wanted to...

    After Selling His Startup For $25m People He Barely Knew Started Calling...

    FUNNY 
    Some "jobs" require a uniform, and very rarely, that uniform might include a "respectable" car (requires might be too strong, but at least becomes easier to be effective). BUT I don't think that's really what was being discussed. I don't think "publicly bragging about success" equates to...

    (Indie) Game Dev from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    I don't see why you couldn't add new levels (either easier or harder) or rearrange existing levels with an update. I might err on the side of making it too easy (and too short), and then take what you've learned from the metrics and release the harder levels as a sequel sometime later.

    (Indie) Game Dev from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    VERY easy, at least at first. You say you want 100 levels, but once you have 5, start putting the game in front of people who don't know you and see how easy they find it. Watch them play and see where their frustration points are. One of the biggest problems game devs have is really seeing...

    He gets to have an opinion on whether or not your reasons are productive... If you don't want your positions critiqued, then don't post them publicly. Besides, it's a pretty easy thing to check. Is spending energy worrying about the opinions of others really helping you to get where you...
