   Is it just me or does it seem absurd that a company like Snap would have a comparable market valuation to SpaceX...

   I was really excited about VR but the price(and nausea/headaches) put me off it. I'm sure the price will continue to drop, as is par for the course in technology, but the physical side effects..? I don't want to be like Richa

   I wanted to do something similar a while back, but stopped because I was still too new to coding. I think it's an excellent idea, you just need to narrow down your market and update the design accordingly. Doctors, hairdressers, physio

   You seem to have given this a lot of thought. So serious question - why don't you create a secure operating system for governments and big corporates? You would easily get the funding and likely an insane amount of revenue.

   I don't envy Fb for having to try and manage the cesspool that is human discourse. What a thankless lose-lose endeavour that must be. There will always be people who want to attack those who are not part of their preferred race, gender

    I'm no expert, but that looks like a gas pocket of some sort ruptured, created a cavity and collapsed in on itself. Kind like those methane craters in Siberia.

    This may be a really dumb question(it's late and I'm writing this in bed)but wouldn't retirement savings and investments explain the age related bias? If so, do you propose getting rid of retirement planning?

    I'll suggest an approach that works for me: stop believing your thoughts and internal narratives. They are not true and they are not 'you'. And even if they sometimes are accurate, they're not permanent or true in all ca

    Do you have some sort of guide or FAQ which can give potential clients a guide as to the possible extra costs involved for internationals, like typical accountants and lawyers fees? I've been interested in Atlas in the past, but the po

    Maybe it's the niches. What was your old blog about compared to the new ones? Also, the sheer amount of material you have to compete with for people's attention is insane these days. I also wonder if most people still read long ar

    I went from barely knowing html and CSS to slinging react/redux apps with es6, bundled with webpack, out for paying clients in less than a year. If you just take your time, carefully go through tutorials and study a couple of open sour

    Does anybody have any experience with WorldPay? I'd love to use Stripe but they don't offer services to my territory. And, PayPal... I'd rather not.

    I don't think so. There would always be a need for specialists. Maybe full-stack engineers would have an easier time finding employment(as requiters keep on piling up those needs-to-know requirements), but some shops will always value

    If you don't have any personal connections related to your current job, I'm guessing that you'd need to do some cold calling/emailing(with examples of your work) to any potential clients and agencies. And then there&#x27

    I have a similar problem. Except I have lots of ideas. But it always ends up being things no one wants. I guess the solution to both our problems is to look for problems that lots of people want solved.

    I often reflect on the fact that everything is temporary. The people in my life, my abilities, my opinions and attitudes... I learned this sharply throughout my twenties, and it lead me into a deep dive into Buddhism. The past is gone, the

    I'm nearing the time when my machine needs to be replaced. I haven't had a MBP yet, and was set on getting one... until the latest release drama. I still need to commit to a decision, but I'm eyeing the XSP13 lustfully now.
