HOT! CHATI've done this... though if I wanted to buy the thing enough and did the math, I assumed (correctly or incorrectly) I could convince someone to bring the money. Or otherwise figure out financing. I think that's one of the easier ways out of the always-false "I can't afford the investment"...- Rabby

HOT! CHATThere are some indoor ones that use a UV light and a fan, and the mosquitos fly in and get caught in a little screen. They work too. Also, an incandescent light or hot-rock with sticky tape on it attracts fleas, and they all get stuck to the tape (if it's sticky enough). I always see the "bug...- Rabby

HOT! CHATDuplicate requests and following up on things that are already done are forms of treason, I've decided. Like, imagine you get a message from someone asking for the ETA on item #1, and status of item #2 and #3, and wondering if item #4 exists. You find that #1 was released 3 weeks ago and...- Rabby

HOT! CHATThem not offering a rental car doesn't mean the person who hit you doesn't owe you for one. Their liability is for any expense that comes out of your pocket, happened because of their insured's negligence (as covered by the policy of course), and can be documented. Rental car reimbursement is...- Rabby

My city gives away free mulch
IDEAI've gotten tree companies to dump mulch on my property. Mostly I use it to compost and make new topsoil. I've used it (after a year or so) as garden soil, etc. Things people can do with it: * Of course, use as mulch. * Compost for dirt, like I usually do. * If you put it into a high efficiency...- Rabby

Revisiting Previous "Failed" Business Ideas (As Potential Side Hustles)
SIDE HUSTLEAre any of these side hustles related to the main business you want to do? Do they share a customer base, or give you information about the market in which your primary business exists? Maybe lead toward an eventual sale for that business? I see nothing wrong with "previously failed business...- Rabby

HOT! CHATOver the weekend we went kayaking and outdoors-ing, and watched fireflies. This was in a park that is known for lots of fireflies. Next, this week in fact, is bio-luminescent jellies. It is the time of glowy creatures. Can I put bio-luminescent jellies on toast? No?- Rabby

WeWork/WeCrashed
OFF-TOPICThe biggest problem is the founder is not a real business person, but a con artist. He seemed to be out for nothing more than scamming the investors. Even tried to claim he owned the IP after selling the shares, and sell the name and logo to the company (that he was CEO of!!) for $500k. What a...- Rabby

Passive-ish Cashflowing Business Models for a Holdco Or Investment Portfolio (Not Your Main Business)
IDEAFamily offices are another way of holding these types of investments, if you get to the point where it's worth having dedicated administrators. Looking at the type of business is one thing you can do. Some have well known routes to passivity. For example, check cashing machines or vending...- Rabby

When should I get a permanent business address (outside of my personal apartment address)?
It just depends on what you need. I wouldn't lease a building just for the address... you can use a PO box or UPS store for that. If you don't have revenue yet, you're probably overthinking this. Worst case, you can change the address whenever you switch apartments. Focus on finding the...- Rabby

HOT! CHATFunny how the person who said "I took one look at you and said I'm not going to just assume you're the dumbest person in the room," also ranks herself highest in EQ. A striking illustration of Dunning-Kruger effect, even if painful to watch.- Rabby

HOT! CHATAWS Lambda and other 'serverless' technology is the apple sauce. Once you get past "aaaa what do I dooo with this" you realize it's just your code, a few conventions, and no web server to worry about. I wrote an API that gloriously foobarbaz's multiple other APIs, in only 24 hours! (with no...- Rabby

HOT! CHATReminds me of that time a few months ago when the POTUS sent me a letter about how he is generously writing checks to families, including mine! Boy did I feel important.

HOT! CHATSometimes that forces you to think about it and defend the idea by adding more complete thoughts. I've learned a lot that way, just because I didn't want to look silly in a forum.

EXECUTION QUESTIONLikewise, I've heard people run into cost issues with Azure. AWS too, but perhaps less frequently. I don't know how much of it is fixed costs vs scaled costs on Azure. But on AWS, I can spin up a POC service that costs like 30 cents per month (not counting domain registrations). I can run a...- Rabby

Roadblock. Seeking advice.
EXECUTION QUESTIONYou're better off spending the money on the conference than you are paying $90 / month to host a cloud application that nobody is using.
