    What's the best way to study maths?

    HOT! 
    Math is one of the few which is not a scam in school. There are billionaires built from its understanding. (See Renaissance Technologies.) The world runs on it. Your phone, your sewage system, etc. The problem you posted is meant to wire your brain in a way to solve it. Since you only know the...

    About selling air!

    Holy crap that's no joke...Looks like smog, but it's small rocks. What about filters? Or those stylish face masks with a built in electronic air purifier? What about face masks disabled people can put on and take off? Like a hands free way to stick your face in the mask, then some extended...

    Storytelling as an Entrepreneur

    MARKETING 
    Exactly. If I've experienced it, it's easy. But trying to tell a full length joke or recall a 2nd hand story...forget about it. Literally!

    Storytelling as an Entrepreneur

    +1 for some recommendations Would love some stuff that goes deeper than just, "Start with a great hook that engages your audience from the start." My programmer brain doesn't work that way.

    Influence: The Pyschology of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

    HOT! 
    My Rating: 5 stars out of 5 stars :star::star::star::star: :star: Format: Kindle My thoughts/review: This book is a landing page outline. Look all around you. Social proof, authority, scarcity... While many psychology studies today are lacking in credibility or even accurate data. Cialdini...

    .kitchen .online .app .blog etc.. - crap or worth it?

    TLDs aren't taken into consideration when ranking in Google. (*exceptions for geo-locations, like .co.uk or .de) But secondary effects, like user trust, do. Extensions with a high ratio of bad to good sites like .loan terrible to use. (source: spamhaus 2019) Then you have .coms, with a bad...

    Significant Change to Upwork coming in May 2019... “Pay to Bid”

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It's not in perpetuity. People who do volume and/or high tickets get special treatment. It's true for any platform you go on on, not just UW. The fee is upon a successful connection. Which you can use to either expand your network or pad your portfolio. You don't have to use it as a main...

    Significant Change to Upwork coming in May 2019... “Pay to Bid”

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    It brings in qualified clients served on a silver platter, who are ready to buy. And you only pay for a completed job (for now). Not sure what more you want at that rate. Check out Lex's upwork thread, and watch how he tackles objections. You can find them in the client's description and...

    Significant Change to Upwork coming in May 2019... “Pay to Bid”

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    IDK why some of you have a problem with a 20% fee on clients served on a silver platter. A good salesperson would laugh you out the door at that rate.

    Lex DeVille's - I Deleted My Upwork Account...

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Higher barrier to entry? Less clutter for the client? aka less templated crap to sift through. Do you get your change back if you retract your offer? What about drive by postings? (People creating projects and never coming back.)

    Chaotic order...aka designated clutter areas. On desktop, 1 monitor where there's random folders and internet shortcuts. (Fences by stardock is a neat tool to use) In the room, there's a box where all the papers go. (1 for biz, 1 for personal) If something is truly important it makes its way...

    VISA Trauma! Australian trying to move to USA permanently. Looking for advice!!

    Contact a US immigration lawyer and ask about B-1/2 visas. If you can invest 500k and create 10 jobs, you can get an EB-5 quickly and a greencard for permanent residency in ~2 years. I helped someone last year, from the EU, start a biz in the US. They brought a little under $1M to put into the...

    Time dilation occurs in satellites too. So they have to correct for that when sending you GPS data. Otherwise, you'd end up a couple of meters into the ditch. The Great Attractor: More than 100k galaxies, including our own Milky Way, are falling into a gravitational well, 200 million light...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Her argument is...(paraphrasing) Competition suffers b/c of these tech giants. They eat up all of the data, by buying up all of the small players. You shouldn't be allowed to own both a platform and a business that competes on that platform. Except there are more people with their own...

    Autoplay is a no-no. You risk accessibility issues, on top of what everyone else posted in the thread. Use a modal popup instead. Or, if your programmer is skilled enough, have some javascript animations and functions. On click play, fade the info and play button to the side somewhere. On...
