    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    In fact, I'm pretty sure there will be riots. I've commented privately on that a few times now. You can already see signs of aggression and aberrant behavior in the emotionally fragile population. Of course, rioters will spread the infection to each other, just like panic shopping mobs will. But...

    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    For mathematical accuracy, I would just like to point out that simple exponential growth does not model populations, including microbe populations (or infection rates, or death rates). Even in a lab, once resources hit a certain low or toxins a certain high, inherent limiters come into play. In...

    How many action fakes can the fastlane come up with??

    Nobody starts a business during a pandemic! I can't hire someone during a pandemic! Nobody will answer the phone in a pandemic! Who would buy that during a pandemic? I can't possibly invest during a pandemic! Ree ree ree pandemic! Just because there are new obstacles, doesn't mean you stop...

    Important question to MJ

    Well I can't answer for MJ, but if you don't mind I have a view on this. First a disclaimer, "nobody can tell you what you should do." Right now you have an afternoon side gig that pays you the same as your full time day job. That means on your own, you're generating as much value for your...

    Without diploma

    INTRO 
    Yeah, unfortunately a college economics program will likely have you making complex graphs about GDP and trade balance and such. Lots of math, not so many concepts you can use. That and a bunch of classes about inequality and social injustice, the net effect being to indoctrinate you into a...

    Without diploma

    INTRO 
    There are p l e n t y without diplomas. A diploma is a credential. Credentials establish your authority in certain fields, sometimes. But they do not represent what you know, how you think, or what you can apply to solving problems. Those things are more important than a credential. At least...

    Letting someone go in a crisis/city on lockdown?

    PEOPLE 
    Oof, yeah, I've had to deal with existing bad hires too. Often very nice people, but wrong job for them. Well, I hope it goes as well as this sort of thing can go :)

    Letting someone go in a crisis/city on lockdown?

    PEOPLE 
    Yeah, no. This doesn't sound very good. She doesn't want to do things that are part of the job? You don't pay her enough to do twitter? It sounds like she might have been a bad fit for what you had in mind in the first place. I would respectfully part ways and help her to the extent you can with...

    Letting someone go in a crisis/city on lockdown?

    PEOPLE 
    Everyone's job is on the line if you make a decision that hurts the company financially. If you have to let her go, you just have to. If you can give her a parachute or something, maybe that's what you do. Having her do work that is outside her skillset sounds about as good as hiring people out...

    Why don't I get a proper job?

    PEOPLE 
    Yikes. That sucks, but it can be overcome. I assumed debts in the 6 figures to acquire a business, and turned it around. But you have to observe, document, plan, and adjust. Really know what you're doing to turn things around. Think about operations, and what each activity is accomplishing...

    Why don't I get a proper job?

    PEOPLE 
    Oh I like this answer. You dissected two very common emotions, the fear of uncertainty, and social anxiety (or shame?) based on perceived status. I hadn't even thought of the social one, but that is very apt. Uncertainty I notice all the time, because so many people see uncertainty as equivalent...

    Your ticket to unlimited vacation and no stress!

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    Lordy. We were working on taxes this week and I realized we (Wifey and I) made in profit from one business we're usually not directly involved in. It can be optimized more too... the business doesn't even have a marketing arm, and we've likely forgotten about recurring expenses that could be...

    Welcome! I would bet you can find some open source OCR projects (optical character recognition) and use one on the back end to convert your documents. It could be a good idea depending on who you do it for and how you execute. Also, look into imagemagick and ghostscript for getting documents...

    Is Tim Ferriss a fraud?

    HOT! 
    Fraud is a pretty strong word... why accuse him of that? Seems a bit over the top to me. Are you upset at the guy for something? Did he steal money from you somehow? Intentionally deceive you to separate you from your money, perhaps using fake financial instruments or forgery or... ? Tim Ferris...

    PSA: Don't pursue sports betting as a means of generating income

    PSA: Don't pursue sports betting as a means of generating income

    OFF-TOPIC 
    People honestly expect gambling to be a source of income? I'm surprised by that I guess. I can see making books, selling information, or running a casino as money makers, sure. But gambling seems to me like just a possibly fun way to blow unneeded money.
