    No "what will you accomplish" thread for 2024?

    QUESTION 
    Saw the shup up thread, so maybe there is none because Goalsumo beats new years resolutions? I thought the review threads were always interesting and sharing what's on your 6-12 months horizon doesn't seem at odds with the Goalsumo approach to me.

    Midjourney as a Case Study

    ASSERTION 
    "Midjourney, Inc" is an intereting company to take a look at. I think diffusion models for asset creation have more short term potential than LLMs do. Midjourney might be in a critical phase right now. They do focus on the product and listen to their users. They do micro-polls on their Discord...

    Entertainment - Series evaluation ... your criteria and conclusions or dilemmas!?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I remember that "Don't Look Up" was torn to shreds here and, looking back and thinking about it, I would say rightly so. What is everybody's benchmark and what are notable series that people might want to look into? I have a hard time with this. Right now, I only want series to "reserve...

    "Info Video" Editing - Known Pain Points

    IDEA 
    Hi. Wrote about Clypcraft before - which will basically be an information video editor SaaS. I am still trying to nail down the initial use cases to derive the required feature set for a MVP. Any input would be awesome. The current plan is launching it mostly as a tool to create tutorials /...

    Are Ramit Sethi's Courses Legit?

    GURUS 
    I can write a bit about Ramit Sethi, specifically the Zero To Launch course. I do think he it firmly legit. Yes, he makes his money telling people how to get rich, but he covers topics that he is familiar with and doesn't preach one thing while doing something else. I liked the concepts from the...

    Clypcraft - Please help me evaluate

    IDEA 
    Hi, mentioned the idea a while back with a focus on brandability and got no feedback (https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/brand-potential-clypcraft-solidindie-daredevelop-markupclips.103865/), now I would love to hear some opinions regarding how others feel about the need for...

    Rapid Fire - Concepts, Reality Checks and Considerations for your software ideas

    EXECUTION SAAS / APPS 
    The way I imagine this working is: people who have an idea for a software product can pitch the functional vision, then the members with software development experience can write their take on it. If this thread takes off, it might become a great resource. How would they approach it? What...

    Escrow / Flippa - EU to US - what am I missing?

    QUESTION 
    Hi, tried (kinda still trying) to buy some assets on Flippa via Escrow. It was going to be an international wire transfer (above 5k neither CC nor PayPal are an option). Basically I discovered maaany ways that this does not work and this has been going on for more than 10 days. Support on...

    OMFG - The Gensler quote - Don't underestimate this

    INVESTING 
    Today I read many interesting things. Probably some of you have seen the information that the SEC will be investigating Memestock Gate and that Trump appointed people have been fired ... and maybe even that GameStop has been contacted by the SEC, because they want to look into market...

    Let's Try 180 degree VR content creation

    EXECUTION 
    Okay, after work and even during vacation days I don't have the strength to work on my procedural content generation SaaS authoring tool. I will return to that idea. It is the billion dollar idea, but I need something more approachable that I also care about for now. Using Blender to create VR...

    Weight Lifting ... leg problems

    HEALTH 
    Hi, maybe somebody knows something about this kind of issue, might be a little specific, though. I have gained quite some weight - first with body weight exercises, then with weight lifting. Recently my legs burn like hell when I take short walks. Many different joints and muscles are a little...

    Will we see an actual war with China?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    Hi all. We are in the middle of a trade war. Does anybody think we will see an actual war with China? Given the issues in the oil sector, I thought a war with Iran is likely. That might "solve" the problem of low prices. But what about Brzezinski and the grand chessboard? How else could China...

    A Summary Thread for the C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic discussion...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The Coronavirus thread has gotten really hard to parse, so how about a summary thread. Important: This is probably doomed to fail, but please discuss these summaries in the Discussion thread (HOT TOPIC - The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...) and only add your own...

    Brainstorming - What should I try?

    HEALTH 
    Hi all, I think I need to pivot and come up with a new Master Plan. It feels like my 2019 goals and the ideas in my progress thread were doomed from the beginning. My problem is that I am currently running beyond capacity and burning out simply by performing a regular job. I did okay for a few...

    Weekly Trading - Limiting the Downside

    INVESTING 
    Hi guys, does anybody have experience with a trading strategy that revolves around limiting the downside while benefiting from outliers to the upside? The big picture idea is that if you place 52 bets per year (roughly one per week) and if you get close to a 50% chance of succeeding then the...

    Double Down or set Stretch Goals

    MINDSET 
    Hi all, I realize this might sound a lot like asking you guys to make a huge life decision for me, but I can assure you I have already spent quite some time pondering the question, am already in motion and will go with a best guess decision if there are zero replies. Impulses might change my...

    Trading Idea - Long Gold (potential short squeeze?)

    IDEA INVESTING 
    Hi all, Not sure if this a good bet or not, but Gold producers seem to be long - which is not normally the case, historically speaking. Many other participants are short, which might lead to a short squeeze (around the 21st, I would assume?). Gold producers seem to have a good trading track...

    The CASE and CAPE Master Plan

    EXECUTION 
    Hi all, I posted an introduction thread and am now thinking about ways to get to where I want to be: INTRO - Process guy, trying to take the steering wheel Eventually I want to work on my big ideas, but I feel that I need a liquidation event first to do it properly (aka "not alone"). The...

    Process guy, trying to take the steering wheel

    INTRO 
    Hi all, I just finished reading TMF and loved most aspects of it. Still, I feel it trivializes the question of how you can break free from day job dependence. It describes the issues well, but does not provide any solutions. Now that I am reading UNSCRIPTED I understand the sentiment behind...
