    Building a digital entertainment empire

    EXECUTION 
    Good luck with putting the finishing touches on the game! This stuff makes it sound like you're at risk of pulling yourself in too many different directions though. Imo, the biggest impact things you can do will be finishing and marketing your game. If your game doesn't have an audience, none...

    Would you like some mold with that?

    HEALTH 
    There are so many things that can go wrong in a restaurant, the only real solution is owners that give a shit. When I worked in a restaurant many years ago, everyone had a cleaning checklist for the end of every shift. The nozzles were cleaned/soaked every night. Its only a problem because...

    Absolute best Nootropics (Smart Drugs) for boosting Motivation, Memory, Focus and Mood

    MINDSET 
    The great part was that the only 4 'invalid' responses out of 300+ all picked the same response :) Right, I wasn't complaining, just pointing it out. You'd never get an actual, well-structured, study like this, so this is probably some of the best info that we could hope for. People just...

    Absolute best Nootropics (Smart Drugs) for boosting Motivation, Memory, Focus and Mood

    MINDSET 
    Just a note on the survey since most people probably won't click though: this is based a survey of the perceived effects on people who are already nootropic enthusiasts. This is hugely different than an actual test, which is what I think a lot of people imagine when seeing shiny charts hehe...

    Venezuela Inflation Rates

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You're literally saying that stealing and investing are just different flavors of income generation... Ok so fine, we can all (countries included) chose to steal or invest (with Norway/Venezuela being a great example of the long term implications of each). Is there a point other than to argue...

    Venezuela Inflation Rates

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Norway invests its revenue into publicly traded corporations and into building profitable businesses. It's built a $1T+ wealth fund that owns appx. 1.3% of all publicly traded stock on earth. This pension fund is now worth $1,000,000,000,000 Venezuela nationalized and seized control of its...

    Lost... about to be homeless.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You said you were willing to listen to any advice, so: WTF! Good god man, stop telling that story in your interviews! No wonder you aren't getting hired! "Yes, please hire me, but I'll quit when you ask me to do something I don't like. And not only that, I won't even see anything wrong with...

    Who owns rights to the app?

    Unless you have a written agreement in place, then it's up in the air. Google a bit on 'work for hire', ip assignment, and developer contracts, and you'll get a good idea of how to protect yourself. It's pretty standard to require the assignment of ownership of a work to whoever's paying for...

    How do you store and backup data?

    HOT! 
    IBM expert warns of short life span for burned CDs "Unlike pressed original CDs, burned CDs have a relatively short life span of between two to five years, depending on the quality of the CD" I think he's talking about the worst-case, but worst-cases are what we're talking about avoiding. If...

    Anyone else had a shittty/mediocre experience when getting design or creative work done?

    There are a couple of problems unique to creative work that I think you're bumping into (aside from the normal problems of getting work from random freelancers). First, you need to figure out whether you've got a proper creative or just a guy with Photoshop (or whatever). For much of what you...

    A Note for People Seriously Struggling

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I realize that you're a troll, but I wanted to reply to this for the potential benefit of anyone who stumbles across this and thinks you have a point. First, you're right. There is a middle ground, and MJ's books are about the best explanation of it that you're ever going to get. You're...

    How do you store and backup data?

    HOT! 
    The most important thing to remember is that all backups can fail, so you need multiple, unconnected backups for anything that's truly important. Hard disks, ssds, and even optical media can fail over time. 3rd party providers can have problems, intentionally, accidentally, or through user...

    Moving out of Romania or the "I don't know what to do" thread

    You say you want to move because you're stagnating. What would need to happen for that to change? Since you're asking it here, it seems like it would have something to do with entrepreneurial success, but your bullet points make the UK look worse for business to me. Improving your quality of...

    Earning $2,000,000 a day. Fastlane?

    HOT! 
    So "bait and switch" is a pretty loaded phrase, but you might be surprised at how matter-of-factly the game monetization people discuss building addictive/manipulative mechanics. When Zynga was just starting to make their big ipo push, they hired behavioral economists to specifically help...

    The final solution to all "I have some money what do I do?" threads.

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This feels like a really strange question? Every gold thread on this forum has a specific example (probably far more than one). Every time you spend money, you're getting a specific example.

    Unscripted goes big, in a place I've never been? Wuh?

    I lived there for a while, and as scripted as we think the western world is, our scripts pale in comparison to the what the kids growing up in SK will be programmed with. I can definitely see the younger generation starting to rebel against that after some exposure to western internet, and...

    How to make a blog go viral

    MARKETING 
    I assume that everyone skipped your posts because it looks like you're a new poster who's just dropping your blog link in and will never be seen again. I googled it and didn't see it anywhere else, so maybe that's not true. Either way, here's a quick answer that maybe you or someone else will...

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    There are a few VR "arcades", but I haven't seen a VR gym yet. That might be a really great idea actually! You do the work without even realizing it, and there are some interesting tricks you can do when you have complete control of the space.

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    That's a really easy thing to fix! Just yell if you ever want to have a VR night instead of a poker night :) And actually, at this point, it's not really that addictive. Part of it is just the quality/comfort of the hardware since these things are still really early, but the bigger part is...
