No, basically there are software add-ons to Shopify that let you import an AliExpress seller's product into your store. Your customer never sees the original seller's listing, and therefore you can charge any price you want. So, a

There are a few good ways, but it really helps if you know the products well. For me, my site sells guitar parts and DIY kits. And I've been playing guitar since I was about 10 years old, so that helps a ton . I had a few other stores

Returns are a pain, yes. It'll be different for every vendor though, so you need to take it on a case-by-case basis. Honestly, my advice is to not worry about it up front, and dive in. You need to worry about making your first sale (wh

Yes, this is one of the bigger problems, and there's no good fix for it. You just need to clearly state all over the site that your delivery times are 3-4 weeks. It's unfortunate, but part of the business. The only way around it i

I used Shopify's drop shipping guide to get started--it really is very helpful. They're invested in making you profitable (it's in their best interest as well, since they make $$ from you), and consequently their guides are v

Do you have any longtime hobbies? I've played guitar my whole life, so I sell guitar parts. It's easiest if you can leverage knowledge you already have. I also tried stores selling items I knew very little about, and it was much

I run an ecommerce store from Shopify which fulfills the orders by drop-shipping through AliExpress. This is definitely doable for one person, and it isn't technically challenging for a software developer--but the hardest part (at leas

I write software as career, but I still do art as a hobby. I actually tried making a career out of art when I was younger, but it's very very hard to make ends meet, when that's your main source of income. It's an industry wi

There are bars like this in my city, in some particularly rowdy college-bar areas. They've been open for 20+ years, most of them. So it must work out from a business POV. But never visted one to report. However, guess it's only ne

Just speaking personally: for me, learning the context and history of mathematics would have made a huge difference in my motivation to learn it. I always hated math growing up (despite being very good at it now); I didn't sit down

Could there reasonably be multiple competing "internets" -- with different protocols, different 'rules', design and so on? I don't pretend to know how to 'fix' anything (much less something as complex as t

Serious philosophical question: can you verify someone's ideology, their internal mental state? If not -- then this doesn't seem possible. If yes -- then maybe. ..... That said, from an editorial perspective, I find this very trou

I think the issue at stake here is the nature of higher education in the US: specifically, what are its putative goals? Is it a place for intellectual growth and experience gaining for its own sake, or is it primarily for grooming & car

It's very strange how memory works. The first few paragraphs I thought - "yes, I remember this". But once I got farther into it, I realized it was definitely Shaq's Kazaam that I was misremembering . However--I would

Yes. You can watch some researchers working an "acoustic fingerprint" in this video. Linking to the start of that segment: https://youtu.be/eNzRHuqvMxQ?t=50m14s Pretty cool stuff.

Yes. It's not any harder to learn this stuff as you get older, in my own experience, despite what people sometimes think. Only personal experience, but: I found learning complex technical concepts far easier in my late 20's than

It's never too late. What matters most is that you are good at the work and can produce results. For me, I went back to school about 5 years after a liberal arts undergrad to get a BS in computer science, and it has worked out. I was a

In a sarcastic way, yes. Obviously it's a problem that self-propagates and creates new problems. But it works for the "people in power"; those who wield influence in the literary field.

I agree that the work of Lacan, Derrida, Baudrillard, and their contemporaries do deserve study and contemplation. I've done it, and I learned a ton from it. The problem that these generators address is much more circumscribed. Rathe

Didn't go to grad school for this stuff, but I did study it in undergrad. I wrote dozens of papers like this, and they always got great marks. For me, the reason I did it was simple: if you want good grades/academic-approval i

Yes. I studied literature in school, and I was very guilty of writing papers like these, once upon a time. If someone gave me this and told me it was real, I would believe. Hits the mark.

I strongly agree with Cal on this. I write software and generally spend much of my time focusing on how to better design digital technologies of various kinds. But ultimately, I think that good design is typically subtractive, not additive.

To me, these attitudes (and their general acceptance + support) are just as worrying as Donald's own attitudes and supporters. One of the strangest things about human nature--at least that I've seen--is that when we vehemently res
