    How to become a better speaker?

    I think the biggest problem people have with public speaking is a misconception of what it really is. What they imagine is something like a presidential state of the union address(100% prepared, scripted, memorized, formal, etc.), but imo this is probably less than 1% of what actual public...

    Can a negative google search impact your sales on your book?

    PUBLISHING 
    Just use a pen name. However, just for your own sake, you should probably get the negative stuff about you off of the front page. Outrank them yourself with enough sites to push the negative results down a few pages (though the difficulty of this depends on how strong the current pages are)...

    Video games pays well... real WELL.

    EXECUTION 
    Far far more poor ones... but then that's the same with almost any pursuit. It's just a question of what the ratio is. And Minecraft isn't really a great example of excellence in execution. That's not to take away from it's accomplishment, but sometimes the stars really do align to make...

    bbPress -- Forum software for WordPress. Have you used it? Got advice?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've used this and a few other combo-type forum integration packages in the past, and they always cause problems. If you just want a quick and dirty solution for personal or hobby use, then it's probably ok. It's functional enough, but if you're going to use it for something where it needs to...

    So you want to move to Scottsdale?

    MEETUPS 
    If anyone is looking for a soft landing in the Phoenix area, I could probably use a roommate or two. And as a bonus, you may have the house to yourselves for a few months, as I may have some forced travel coming up due to visa issues (similar to TheTruth's). We have a big house with plenty of...

    Made a mobile game. This is my first product. I owe a lot of inspiration to you guys.

    Looks really interesting! Are you planning any tutorial levels? One problem I could see is that there's so much going on on the screen that people are guaranteed to lose a few times before understanding what's going on, and you probably only have 1-2 losses before you lose people unless you've...

    Need some advice (follow your passion? Binary options?)

    Maybe make a gold thread, "random awesomeness" and copy great posts into it?

    Poverty confirmed to destroy brains of little children

    OFF-TOPIC 
    It sounds like everyone is arguing against things that the research didn't say. Assuming that there's not a major flaw in their methodology (or that they're being intentionally deceptive), these things should be objectively true. We can argue about the causes, whether or not it makes a...

    So I just had the most awkward, terrible interview in HISTORY

    For future reference, this would have been the perfect answer to all of their questions. Bill sounds like a dick for handling things this way. I'd probably reply-all and tell him so (tactfully) while mentioning specifically how much you helped him in the past (whatever you should have said in...

    Do you really need to read 52 books this year? And other media consumption.

    MINDSET RANT 
    One thing that sometimes gets missed is that there are lots of different kinds of people, and not all advice applies equally. If the thought of reading 50 books this year sounds impossible, terrifying or even boring, then you should probably do it. If it sounds easy or like you'd enjoy it...

    Lex DeVille's: How to Make $1,000 a Week with no Degree, no Feedback, & no Portfolio.

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    No clue about Odesk, but you could run the program in sandboxie or something similar. It is supposed to make a sandbox area on your harddrive and doesn't let things installed in it affect anything outside the sandbox.

    I am trying to sell these keychain breathalyzers

    NOTABLE! 
    To back up what some of the others have said, me and my friends would have definitely bought these while we were in college, and we most certainly would have abused them. So ya, there's a market, but if you actually want to make people safer, selling these to college kids is not the way...

    .Club Domains

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think these new domain extensions are just a gimmicky cash grab by registrars. I mean, if you're sending enough direct traffic, pretty much any domain could work, but it doesn't sound optimal to me. Have you ever bought something from a site with one of the new extensions? I haven't. Maybe...

    Why can't I get a job (Slightly NSFW-Language)?

    MINDSET 
    So the current system already buys people steak and fondue kits, only there's a really inefficient/expensive government middleman involved? I think this is the really important part. Obviously some people would spend their money on drugs or whatever, but that already happens. When you have...

    Instagram Ad Marketplace

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA 
    Just ran across Exposely yesterday, which seems to do this. I don't really know anything about it, but it was mentioned in a kickstarter promotion thread. In theory, I think there's a ton of potential here, but as it gets more popular, I can't help but imagine that the platforms are going to...

    Why can't I get a job (Slightly NSFW-Language)?

    MINDSET 
    I know it isn't a popular sentiment here, but consider the following: - Wikipedia tells me that we're currently spending in the realm of $4T per year on social programs. - The government has no incentive to be efficient or effective. - The beneficiaries of the programs have no incentive to use...
