    If I sit on my couch all day, I'm the equivalent of punching you in the mouth. There are 100,000,000,000 + million galaxies in the universe. Each with 100 million suns, and each with ~5 planets capable of inhabiting life. You are a spec of dust on a rock floating around the sun at ~800mph...

    I'd say that's on point. If he wasn't pursuing these projects, he'd probably be trolling on 4chan or reddit. Just look at the way the TSLA models are named. S 3 X. He couldn't grab E, b/c Ford has the rights. And what's the next model he's planning? Y Check out the video he posted on his...

    The Stanford Marshmallow Experiment covers this with kids. You put the marshmallow on a table, and you say. You can either have 1 now, or 2 later. The ones who waited, had better outcomes later in life.

    I have/do and it gets clunky fast. It's good to prototype and test the market, but scaling is an issue. (There is a "right" way to do it, but very few people are capable) WP runs on PHP. Building in JS is a much better option: Meteor

    Tracy's & Ziglar's supposed Harvard and Yale studies, which are similar, aren't verifiable. There was a subsequent study, although not as thorough as originally claimed, showing the effects are plausible. However, you have to append the following, to goal setting: 1. You need a plan 2. You...

    He says some decent stuff, but also too many out of context platitudes. "Set goals. Envision your success" "Your problem is not resources, it's resourcefulness" You need to experiment and see what works for you. Some people do well writing down every bit of detail, from the exact date and...

    Same thing as movie piracy. People who would have never paid to see a movie, saw movie, and then talked about it online. Thus generating buzz and free press around the subject. Investors however see it as, 100,000 illegally downloaded movie X, causing Studio Y to lose $40,000,000 in revenue...

    Facebook loses $120 billion (market cap) in a day

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    C suites and other investors sell all the time, whether they think the price will go up or down. It's relevant when the stock takes a dive, and the execs start buying it all up. Only reason they'd do that is if they think the stock will go back up. (except Sears that is lol. RIP) The "dumping"...

    If you observe the way affluent people raise their kids, they include all of the above. However, the order in which they get taught is different. Intelligence is relative. The premise of evolutionary biology is that you have to be, "smart enough." (Well, they put it as, attractive enough, for...
