    How to legally pay no taxes... possible?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Amen brothers. Nobody thinks in terms of efficiency and productivity of government, waste, etc... They've been zombified by politicians, the bureaucratic class and the technocrats. It's fairly pathetic.

    How to legally pay no taxes... possible?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Well taxation was there in the middle ages to finance the aristocracy in exchange for protection. Nothing really modern. In some countries like France it's become quasi "slavery" for the State. When your body and brains are taxed so much it's a new form of "slavery" since your labor and fruits...

    What do you guys think of my copywriting ad?

    Possibly true. I guess I don't buy that way. I just briefly read (scanned) a long copy from a company I'm using and whose service I truly like. But I still hated that long page and closed my browser window.

    What do you guys think of my copywriting ad?

    I'm a UX freak and I think if I had to write those pages, then, I'd have a section on top that states clear benefits and what it is for people like me who don't want to go through the marketing bullshit. Then have a detailed section below for the ones that like to read. I'd rather watch a video...

    What do you guys think of my copywriting ad?

    Personally I don't understand who reads those long promotional pages. I bail right away when things are so long to read.

    I Have Lost My Way

    MINDSET RANT 
    Sounds a bit like me. Honestly the shrink may work. Some of our stuff is baggage due to parent's approval or disapproval. At least that's my case. I'm terrible at doing things I love but everything that was approved by my parents got a lot of focus and I was successful at them. I just don't put...

    Will smoking weed make me lazy/hurt my (good) mindset?

    HOT! 
    A childhood friend of mine smoked weed and fell off heights and almost got disabled. He keeps doing it with alcohol and is a waste. At a macro level, weed and drugs will change America for the worse. Please don't do it.

    This is how scary AI has become

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Even movies will be AI driven and actors will disappear. No residuals for production companies to pay. My biggest fear with AI is that it'll make our gov very authoritarian. The minimum income idea will justify total control over us. I can also see a possibility where AI will serve the most...

    - 2 seconds is pretty slow. - Nginx would be faster than apache - You may want to check your own hosting solution where you can specify your packages and tweak your machine. It's not necessarily that expensive with something like Vultr or Linode. SOmething like 10 bucks a month gets you your own...

    Anyone with experience selling software to organisations?

    I don't know if it's possible in Node.js but I wouldn't ship any code that can be tweaked easily to skip the license. Even if you have a license, I'm sure it's easy to hack some JS code to unblock the software. That's me, I'm paranoid when it comes to IP theft. If you have an annual license I...

    An App A Month...Tony Tong's Execution Journal

    EXECUTION 
    I think mobile makes more sense because the workflow is more appropriate: - I get a notification I have reached out to a friend - I send them an email or text or gives them a call - I use my phone to send the latest picture of me to them

    EXECUTION 
    I like your concept. I have to remind myself to catch up with my valued and far away friends too often. I looked at your screen shots and have a few suggestions: - skip web for that. Mobile app first - polish the UI. - integrate it with my phone contacts, calendar and friends lists on various...
