    The Alexa Economy

    This is not a good idea in my view unless it drives traffic outside of their Network. You're building tools for powerful AI's controlled by any of these major companies (in this case Amazon) to further enhance their business. You're working for what amounts to a stipend or worse under...

    When did you realize the system is rigged?

    NOTABLE! 
    Yeah this is funny and the crux of the College argument. The other night I had a polite argument with some family members. They acknowledged, college doesn't really educate you per se, there are lots of ways to do that. BUT, they said...you will 'need' that degree to get the first job and...

    I quote "It is at the Redline where the man are separated from the boys" This is my story

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    What a great story. Congratulations! I'm really interested in your 'online' and 'offline' transition. I seem to over and over to get wrapped up in big, speculative projects with lots of technical unknowns, heavy capital investment, or long lead times. That is, projects which are a long...

    Standing Desk Recommendations

    HEALTH 
    I did this one a few years ago and its worked fine ever since (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JREVI5G/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20). I liked it because it had two levels, one for the monitor(s) and another wide shelf for the keyboard and mice and whatnot. Reasonably affordable and no...

    Don't forget Mr. Miyagi, he said it too.

    Calling All Brainstormers..

    Here's an idea I had a few weeks ago while I was in Costa Rica. I lived in the 3rd world for about 7 years in the early 2000's. While I was down there on this recent trip I stayed with a number of Expats in different areas, mostly really nice tropical pads. It can be beautiful to live there...

    The coming recession

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Just a wild guess, but I'd suggest that the US Healthcare system is a bubble. What a mess. Neither side of the political spectrum seems all that interested in reducing spiraling costs. One side wants everyone to share the costs, the other side wants it all paid privately. But no one seems...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! CHAT EXECUTION 
    Interesting thread. I'd probably say this stuff. Not the brand per se, but the product category. If you're not familiar its a (rigid) natural form of salt that eliminates the need for body deodorant. Regular deodorants (old spice, etc.) try to stop the skin from actually sweating via...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it (twice), and counting. Actually I have the Audiobook version as well, pretty much on a constant loop in one or both ears. In the car, around the house, while doing exercise, while working on stuff, even while on the shitter. It's outstanding, a great accomplishment. Any funny. As...

    Built a prototype and it works, now what

    Market feedback. Market feedback. Market feedback. A patent is nice to have but a distraction at this point. Will people buy this thing at a price that you can afford to manufacture and distribute it? That's the only thing that really counts and in my opinion that's where you should really...

    Fastlane taken to new level... She sold the sun!!!!

    FUNNY 
    Funny story but this is not Fastlane. Fastlane is not taking candy from babies. That's pointless scamming. Fastlane is creating something of legitimate value, that is scale-able. Is this Fastlane if Ebay shuts you down? Not really. Is this Fastlane if some government tries to sue you? No...

    To borrow or not to borrow

    MINDSET 
    Totally agree. My two cents.... My mistakes over time have always revolved around HOPE like this. You borrow money because you HOPE your business idea will take off and pay you back in spades (and the loan), but that never works. Its the same scenario of a new business owner that buys fancy...
