    Kevin O'Leary.. You have to love him

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Can we kill this myth already? The really big stuff requires the government. A private company simply can not burn up that much money for that much time - the stockholders would put a stop to it. We had crappy little LAN protocols before and during the development of the internet - Win95...

    Kevin O'Leary.. You have to love him

    OFF-TOPIC 
    See my earlier post. It's going to get worse. The dystopia (utopia) where machines do all the work and no one has (needs) a job is no longer in the far future, it's barreling down on us. What's really gonna grind your gears is, if you believe in free markets, then at a fundamental level you...

    I agree with MoneyDoc about this being a crowded market, although I haven't played Minecraft in years so I'm not sure what the situation is like currently. Even if there are many servers Minecraft is insanely popular right now, so there might be a huge audience for them. Due to the nature of...

    Using Wordpress for commercial business? (No coding experience)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You should read the massive Gold thread about learning to program or not. There's a lot to know, even for simple sites. You either have to do-it-yourself, or pay someone. Getting little things to do exactly what you want can be surprisingly thorny and difficult. If you have no way to come up...

    Starting projects but never finishing them...

    This. At some point your project turns from something you're driven to do out of excitement, to the same kind of work/effort needed for school or a job. You can use similar strategies. For example you can sign up to free online courses to learn how to do something. Sure you could just get...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I think it's great you're doing this. I've considered something like it myself. The problem is this tech changes very rapidly, and the "need to know" for someone who will be hiring others to make a site is very different from what an aspiring developer needs. I'm no fan of wordpress. Having...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Current webdev is already significantly different from what you describe. Most of the time you will start with a framework (Wordpress, Django, etc) rather than bare code/html. Single-page sites are a big deal, where instead of the server creating a new page for each request the browser...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    That's because the answer is different for different people. If you already have a coding background, the DIY approach makes sense. If you've never coded, not so much.

    This is always a source of confusion. There's really TWO leverages at play. One is what I call broker leverage, this is generally fixed and is 50:1 in the US for major crosses. That means regardless of what position you take, the initial margin for the trade is 50:1, or 2%. You can't change...

    Assuming it even involves humans any more. Presumably if we have the classic scif-fi style Singularity the human race becomes irrelevant. Already happening. The first machine explorer landed on Mars in 1971, and we've had many since, to the point that Mars is so well documented that we have...

    OP claims GTA is horrible because it lets people feel successful with no work or consequences. OK. The reason animals play is so they can learn about the world. Tiger cubs (for example) bat each other around to learn how to fight, how to stalk prey, what they can and can't do, how to find...

    Well let's just drive this thread straight into the ground... There is a flip-side here. I'm not talking about the woman vs. Kevin, but this whole idea that no-bounds-capitalism is the best thing for everyone always. Remember it's called CAPITALISM not LABORISM. For a long long time humans...

    Look at the SP500 and Dow today, wow! Total profit-taking / no confidence plunge right into the end of trading. And Euro at 1.12...some fun times ahead. Short-term FX trading requires volatility to work, looks like we're back to the crazy daisy conditions where you can actually make some...

    There was a cult-like following of Sam Seiden and his "supdem" approach a few years back when I got out of the scene. Did that die out?

    I haven't traded in a while but EU shot for parity looks good. stop around 1.25 for for a RR of 1.1 for a high probability trade. Not sure if I'll take it, will see next week. No reason to be in a hurry in FX most of the time, is the main lesson I've learned. It'll hit parity or it won't, if...

    Funny, one month I had an Adsense check bigger than my combined paychecks for the month...but it was a bit against Google's TOS (a wildcard catch-all redirect that happened to catch a HUGE amount of manually mistyped domains, back when people still typed domain names directly into their PC's...

    EXECUTION 
    All good things must come to an end. So must not so good things. Pretty much this business idea didn't work out. The snack box in its current format is not a viable product. From the little feedback I got, the teen market didn't like it because they were expecting everything to be repackaged...

    Why Forex isn't Fastlane....

    Sustainable for now. 18 months is really the minimum time to establish a system, 24 is better. Just biasing toward long trades (that generally move the same direction as the SP500) would have worked in 2014. Long-term ( > 1 year) market cycles and changes in dynamics is where most systems...
