   I was running into this issue with a "task reminder bot" running through facebook messenger since I would be off from work on a thursday or something an it would still nag me about work tasks. Do you think it would be better to ha

   I agree with you that it "should be", but the fact remains that currently isn't. "Investment" and "Consumer" might be tainted words for you but they are accurate descriptions for our current system. So sho

   I didn't think the grandparent comment is "moralizing". They aren't saying your choice of major is "good" or "bad". They are saying that when you make a sub-optimal(in relation to expected future inco

   I have been working on an app to do trend forecasting for various cryptocurrencies. The end goal is to get realtime alerts when a currency dips or spikes above a given forecast. You'd get a message with the current forecast and a pictu

   Just fell down the lofi/simpsonwave rabbit hole myself! Those videos and playlists definitely have some of the tamest comment sections on Youtube.

   I presume that holds unless the only "signal" you get is your local priest and feudal lord? Especially since for most of human civilization the vast majority(95%+) couldn't read or write...

    I think the advice is closer to: "If you aren't going to put your startup in front of everything else in your life. It will fail." Which, at the scale of business they are referring to, might just be the reality. Although I a

    This is a really good write up of taking a product from an idea all the way through getting paying customers! I just wish the author delved more into details. How many of their users converted to a paid plan? What price point did the autho

    Most people don't jump up to "defend capitalism" because it is already the status quo in America. It is already being aptly defended by the oligarchy of big business that profit off of the inequality being discussed here. You

    Your second example is very fascinating. Is finding unique datasets like this part of your job? How lucrative is something like that?

    This sounds like an amazing project! I'd love to help in any way I can. Do you have a website where I can learn more about your startup?

    Yes but in the last 100 years we've also added around 6 BILLION new people. 100 million dead is a drop in the bucket compared to the amount thats been added due to advancing technology and culture.

    Adding a sharing feature to get past the payment is an interesting thought. Instead of subjecting your users to ads you make them advertise to others on your behalf. Its definitely a good move for them if they are a young company.

    True, my first thought that popped into my mind was how fast I could replicate their entire website and business model. Don't know if thats good or bad.

    It seems like you have a lot of entrepreneurial energy and inspiration in your personal network. SV pundits don't care about those people creating lifestyle businesses, they just want "megascale" and big fancy exits.

    My short term goal right now is to sell/grow enough side projects to go full time with prototyping "micro businesses". I feel like a startup studio of 4-8 people could get some serious work done. It would also just be a great

    I'm currently in the process of deciding whether to sell my most recent side-project($400 recurring profit in 1.5 months), transfer it to a friend from business school and keep a large percent of profits, or to hire some part time digi
