    Uber Knows...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    1. Automated cars don't need to be perfect, just significantly safer than the average human driver. 2. Why do you think cars are currently hackproof? https://www.wired.com/2016/08/jeep-hackers-return-high-speed-steering-acceleration-hacks/ or even planes...

    Getting my Masters a waste of time?

    Doesn't sound terribly useful to be, but this is a very industry specific question that you should really be researching in places devoted to the music industry. You may get lucky and find someone with relevant experience here, but you'd have much better odds in a place with lots of music...

    How important it intelligence?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Here are a few relevant points: For people with a max education of a bachelor's degree, each point higher on the Wordsum test causes a $1,200 decrease in income. Having an IQ in the highest bucket (WORDSUM=10) results in a $2,500 lower income than just having an average IQ a one...

    How important it intelligence?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Well, because they're not random points pulled out of someone's a$$ on a forum. It's certainly valid to look at their study and dispute the research, but that's a bit different than just randomly saying "That's all wrong!" Is it really? Maybe you just need enough to copy a successful...

    Getting my Masters a waste of time?

    I don't know much about the music industry, but I would guess that it isn't exactly hung up on formal education. Of course, you should be very aware of the value (or lack thereof) of the degree in your field. If you don't then you REALLY need to start doing research on your industry. I think...

    Ask Me About About SEO. Blackhat, Whitehat Whatever!

    HOT! MARKETING 
    No one can ever tell you x links of x quality will rank you. You can gauge, at a very general level, how competitive a certain keyword may be, but that's more along the lines of, "yes, I can probably front-page eventually with some work" or "nope, totally screwed." Of course, it's usually...

    Well, to be fair, it probably is 99+% lazy SEOers hehe. Not being lazy is hard, especially when everyone else is too. Of course, that's where opportunity comes from.

    It seems that penalties over and beyond simply negating the positive effect of spam are quite possible now. Everyone trying to optimize has to decide how much they're willing to push it. Of course, a more authoritative and established site should be able to push much further than a new site...

    A couple of quick bullet points from the book Power: Why Some Have It and Others Don't Only 20% of workplace effectiveness is attributable to intelligence (though it is the largest single factor) Only 4% of the difference in people's income is attributable to their intelligence Of...

    game industry

    HOT! 
    The main problem is in game development (and pretty much everything else) execution. Lots of people have ideas... How many actually bring their ideas into reality? You can point at the lack of innovation the game industry, but I can point at the piles of money that non-innovative but superbly...

    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    I just finished a month trial of IF/low carb. I ate one meal per day, so about 23 fasted hours between meals. I had about 1 cheat day per week, which wasn't really planned but just came up because of social gatherings or whatever. I was pretty strict on the calorie count and ate at a very...

    Is Dubai the "Galt's Gulch" in reality?

    Well, the article is called The dark side of Dubai. And sure, people that move to a new place should certainly do their research, and if their bad decisions cause bad consequences, then the responsibility is on them. Of course, it's also useful to have articles like this point out those...

    Is Dubai the "Galt's Gulch" in reality?

    No disagreement there. It seems like it could be a fantastic place assuming one can afford to enjoy it (at least until something goes wrong). It was more the characterization of Galt's Gulch that I was complaining about, since it's the mythical place where everyone exists based solely on their...

    Is Dubai the "Galt's Gulch" in reality?

    What?? So a country that's built on oil money and modern-day slave labor with locals who live off of the government is being compared to a haven for productive people who want to succeed off of their own hard work and industriousness? Sounds like complete and utter opposites to me... Give this...

    Argh! How should I respond to my teacher? Or..am I the wrong one

    MINDSET 
    Well, first, telling your professor that college isn't necessary (however true it may be), is very likely to instantly put him on the defensive, since that is what he's spent his life doing and all... Also, do you deny that his points are true? The real estate market really doing great...

    BUT, if it's ok to selectively quote, I think this is much stronger. The last part of the sentence just muddles the message.
