    Who's gonna pay for it? (Why those evil 1% hoarders!)

    HOT! 
    For the excellent content relating to the nuts-and-bolts of starting and running a business. I try hard to stay away from threads like this but sometimes the self-righteousness and sense of entitlement of this crowd is too much.

    At which point there's no reason for the 99% to exist at all and they can be eradicated.

    Hollow propaganda that can be debunked with little effort. Sorry, but passive income can't be conflated with income you have to work for... unless you're just trying to outright lie and deceive...

    I really shouldn't post on these threads, but sometimes I can't help but tweak your guys' tails. So consider this. Technology keeps getting better and replacing more jobs, that is, a greater share of the work needed to provide goods and services is done by capital (machines, computers, robots)...

    Reinstall and forget about it. If you can't easily reinstall, that's a liability in itself. What if that computer crashes permanently one day? The recommendation to run on a windows VPS is also good, then it won't matter how bad the power is or what weird problems your personal computer has...

    Need some Marketing Advice for Game

    Most of those people will have no idea who Donald Trump is. Flappy Bird time has come and gone, it's about as happening as Gangnam Style, and there's already a bunch of other Donald Trump flappy clones. Might be time to take this one behind the barn.

    Best programming language for SaaS video game?

    SAAS / APPS WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sorry but I don't understand your question at all. SaaS means "software as a service", for example using Google Docs online instead of installing an office suite on each computer you use and transferring files between them. Doesn't have anything to do with a subscription.

    Can a fast-lane business be started on WordPress?

    NOTABLE! 
    Wordpress is primarily a publishing platform. If you're selling something and just need a site to write about the product, with maybe a few other features, then WP might be great. If your business revolves around the platform (like an online service) it may be easier to get going with WP in...

    I really can't recall seeing the kind of posts you're talking about, so my response may be completely off the mark. Apologies in advance if it turns out I have no idea what I'm talking about, it happens often! ;) Having said that... this forum is about the Fastlane methodology, and so has a...

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Facebook pulled in just under $15B revenue the last 12 months, with over a billion active users. People want this. Maybe, probably, most people are garbage humans in the end. Also isn't it a little bit ironic, don't you think, that this thread - on a social media platform, complaining about...

    Do you use LaTex...

    PUBLISHING 
    Wow! I'm an old school geek and even I don't have enough geek cred to have ever punished myself through learning LaTex. If you need to create large mathematical formulas it's probably worth your time... that seems to be one thing that no other tool can do as well. If your layout needs are...

    Creating a simple web app with excel capabilities

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think I see what's going on here. You believe that, since you can manually do this in excel, it should be trivial to glue a web form in front of excel and get the same results. Unfortunately that's going to be way harder than just doing whatever calculations from the data submitted thru the...

    Does MJ's current avatar bug anyone else?

    Isn't that why there's an offtopic subforum? The math is still wrong, whether or not MJ gives a shit.

    Does MJ's current avatar bug anyone else?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That's the problem. Why are 97% of the people who quit too soon employed by the 3% that didn't? In the context of "employed", the population has already been split into quitters and winners. The implication of the quote is that 100% of the people who don't quit employ 100% of the people that...

    Does MJ's current avatar bug anyone else?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    "97% of the people who quit too soon are employed by the 3% that never gave up" That doesn't make sense. Shouldn't it be 100%? They are two separate populations. It bugs me that this is promoting flawed mathematical thinking.

    HOT! 
    Don't. This isn't a game you can win, at least not that way. Everyone thinks they can click buy and sell and make money. Do you actually have an edge? No, you don't. The only (2) traders I've ever met who were successful were both institutional. There is no way you have any chance against...

    Is there a downside to purchasing websites?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Someone posted a Flippa slideshow from a few years back, and the multiple was 8. That's a figure I wouldn't expect to vary all that much over time. A $16k site that's legit should cost around $128K minimum, since the 8x includes many poor quality websites being flipped for a much lower multiple.
