    Discovering Your Purpose

    MINDSET 
    I read the book a long time ago. To follow up on your reading, I recommend two in particular: Mastery by Robert Greene (finding your purpose and how to achieve it), and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand (a fictional story following the ruthless pursuit of Mastery). Robert Greene suggests that our...

    I need life advice

    Every minute you spend in that office is draining your creativity, your ambition, and stifling your natural intelligence. You sense the impending darkness which submerges you, and it's a black feeling of entrapment. Consider this alternative perspective: you have spent years mastering the art...

    Apple Openly Refuses FBI's Orders To Create a BackDoor For Millions of iPhones

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What's so hard to believe? NSA has it's tentacles everywhere. They need Apple to be willing because they do a great job of protecting their source code and building their physical products from the software. NSA might be able to apply a backdoor in a case-by-case, phone-by-phone basis, but...

    "Brother, can you spare a billion?"

    @wade1mil as soon as I saw the clickbait, I assumed it was a media play. Nothing is what it seems. Remember 50 Cent declaring bankruptcy? That turned out to be a ploy to prevent paying his wife alimony, dragging out the legal battle for another 5 years.

    VR will probably flop

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @topherea I appreciate the kind words. Entrepreneurship, exposure to MJ's line of thinking, has been one of the principal driving forces behind my decisions. I suggested that piece of literature for fun, it's a fictional book where VR has become so realistic that regular people no longer want...

    VR will probably flop

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    VR is still a long time from being relevant. I wouldn't even concern myself with it, unless you are specifically in the programming space. Otherwise, who cares? It won't have any direct impact to you other than being a potential consumer product. For fun, I recommend getting a hold of this...

    VR will probably flop

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    @topherea Software is eating the world. Every single aspect of life will be digitalized. Differentiation will come down to the same things that worked in a physical market: Quality and execution Emotional appeal In the case of the above example, the shovel is LeapMotion product, a physical...

    Lending Club Investing: Good Passive Income Source? (Answer: NO)

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    What do you guys think about this European version of Lending Club? https://www.twino.eu/ Apparently they promise to payback loans for full price and interest, if they default. Too good to be true or...?

    Amazon Reveals Plans to Dominate the Gaming World

    EXECUTION 
    @splok Those are very wise points. The question then is, will Amazon keep developing until they are a stronger competitor in the space? Or will they never beat Unity/Unreal? I wager that they will. Time will tell.

    Amazon Reveals Plans to Dominate the Gaming World

    EXECUTION 
    @Travis.I I disagree with the statement of Amazon destroying entrepreneurship. I would argue the opposite. By simplifying the process, and the time and cost to market, they are enabling independent game developers. By offering a new option, developers have a wider choice of weaponry to...

    Amazon Reveals Plans to Dominate the Gaming World

    EXECUTION 
    That's how they look on the outside. They don't want to create resistance until it's too late. Standard tactic of war. Calling Amazon a retail company is calling Airbnb a real estate company.

    VR will probably flop

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Talking films are a very interesting invention, but I do not believe they will remain long in fashion Television won't be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night. I think there is a world market...

    Amazon Reveals Plans to Dominate the Gaming World

    EXECUTION 
    @Fenix Excellent question. Amazon has a simple strategy, target software developers, build their base, and quietly destroy the competition in the progress. Amazon Web Services is valued @ 160 billion dollars, and competitors are asking themselves, where did this come from? How did Amazon all...

    Amazon Reveals Plans to Dominate the Gaming World

    EXECUTION 
    Some 20 hours ago they announced the release of a cross platform game engine, competing with the likes of Unity and Unreal. The best part? It's totally free to use. You only pay for the Elastic Cloud instances running your game, serving requests. And of course, they are following it up with a...

    Can I just mention how awful this job market is?

    NOTABLE! 
    Want to ask me what I meant by step 2, when I said "choose the lesser of all evils to pay for course costs"? There's a reason I linked MJ's post on "Is This Fastlane?". Because doing something -- anything -- provides experience and education. Let me repeat myself: I spent 7 months working...

    Can I just mention how awful this job market is?

    NOTABLE! 
    @Achilles Honestly most of the posters on here are over the age of thirty. They have no idea how god awful the market is for young people with no skills, especially when degrees count for nothing. Everyone's going to immediately rip on you, and then just repeat "Go Fastlane". It's not helpful...

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    @GlobalWealth I'm a bit younger than most of the posters on here -- I'm barely an adult with minimal savings and only recently have managed to get respectable employment (via self-taught programming). I remember earlier in this thread speaking of high real estate costs in Toronto, and you...
