    I skipped work today

    RANT 
    Keep it up man! I'm in a similar situation. When I had a comfortable job: - Thought about how lucky I was to have that job - Spent a good portion of my free time chasing girls - My side projects were more like hobbies than potential business ventures Now working physical labor (also in a...

    Website Ads vs. Subscription Service

    Building a site for a niche outdoor recreational activity. One of the biggest issues with this activity is finding a place where you can do it legally. The site will have a map that will show people where they can go to enjoy it for free. If too many people go to one spot, it usually gets...

    No, Robots are not taking your job.

    HOT! 
    Imagine someone from 1820 trying to predict what life will be like in 2020. Human level AI will take us to an entirely new world. It's hard to predict what will happen past that. My guess is that jobs won't be the biggest issue. The ability to do unprecedented good (permanent life extension)...

    Validating first E-commerce idea

    IDEA 
    Trying to figure out how to create an online map that will contain information which can be surprisingly difficult to find. This map is the solution the site will provide. The map will cover all of Canada. Every province has their own way of providing this information, in some provinces it's...

    Validating first E-commerce idea

    IDEA 
    Idea validated! Quickmvp campaign was going too slow so I made a forum thread on a major site related to this niche and literally asked everyone if this is something they would be interested. It quickly turned into a 4 page thread with all positive replies. People really do want this to be...

    Validating first E-commerce idea

    IDEA 
    Update: After doing some research I've concluded that this niche is actually pretty competitive. - Retail stores that sell products in this category are working on thin margins (came to this conclusion by comparing the Alibaba price with retail price). - Even in the local classifieds there...

    Validating first E-commerce idea

    IDEA 
    First a bit of background: My life absolutely sucks right now, I'm 27 and work a manual labor job in a warehouse. This was the best thing I could find after a few months of job searching. I thought about continuing to apply to other jobs but I would rather work on a long term solution. This job...

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    4 hour work week. I remember reading the book nearly a decade ago with a very different mindset. Getting much more out of it now. I seem to gain deeper insights on the second read. On the second run, instead of trying to take in all the information, you start listening for what matters to you.

    Why you shouldn't learn copywriting

    MINDSET 
    This is something I personally struggle with, not with copywriting but with code. There's so much more I want to learn but after a certain point you come to a cross roads and you have to ask yourself, do you want to work for others or do you want others to work for you? I think that finding...

    Thoughts on trading bots?

    Can a profitable trading bot exist in theory? If one did exist, I don't believe it would be sold. However if trading could be broken down to an algorithm with guaranteed profits then why wouldn't everyone be doing it? What I'm curious about is where do the bots fail? With recent advances in...

    A bigger waste of time is worrying about how others are wasting their time.

    Go To College, Why Not?

    As someone who has been in college, then left college without a degree and worked random jobs, then back to a different college with a new major, then out again and currently hoping to return, here's my take, based on my own experience, your mileage may vary: If you were actually in...

    Human Longevity Breakthroughs, Resources, and Websites

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Reaching human level AI means we have systems that are at least as widely adaptable and efficient as the human neocortex in regards to how they process information. This ability in of itself will not lead to an autonomous system with survival instincts (nor is that the goal). But it will allow...

    Human Longevity Breakthroughs, Resources, and Websites

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I think that minduploading is a flawed concept. A digital copy of yourself is just that, a copy, it's not the original. In order to reach true immortality, we need to be able to preserve the human brain. It was thought that every 7-10 years all the cells in your body are replaced but new...

    GO TO COLLEGE... A little Rant.

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    This is what I have learned so far regarding a Computer Science degree in Canada. The college bias: College is an investment in your future! A degree is the key to your dream job The internet bias: College is a waste of time! You can learn everything on your own. The reality is a mixture of...

    Your Beliefs Aren't Real

    MINDSET 
    There's a saying in statistics, All models are wrong, but some are useful Whether a person thinks positively or negatively, they will always have a biased and limited perspective. With that in mind, it is best to build beliefs based on the criteria of where they will take you.

    Good idea gone bad

    IDEA 
    I start working for the dealership next week. The ban is from the classifieds website. I've been able to find ways around it but if I keep getting banned I'm sure they'll find a way to keep me off the site for good.
