A lot depends on what stage you are at - Series A/B/C? Do you have VCs or angels? But the worst thing you can do is to come across as unreliable or a cheat, so if you are having doubts - talk them over with your investors. After a

Investing with Madoff was also a speculative endeavour. He never guaranteed anything. People invested with Madoff hoping they'd make money. People invest in BTC hoping they'd make money. Some people may have even pulled their m

Millions of people in developing nations bought into the “reliable store of value” philosophy and bought bitcoins, whilst the early adopters and whales have profited. At what point does this equate to what Madoff has done? When they’ve los

Begin by taking a vacation - you deserve it, and it'll clear your head. When I've sold my first startup I specifically wanted to get out on day 1 so I can go ahead and start another. This isn't for everyone - you have to dec

Edit: tick data is usually collected over time, because data sources have different characteristics, and you should be testing over the same realtime data that you'll be using to trade live. You need to know the bid/ask prices and

Real firms use tick data to backtest, not the 1 minute bars that Quantopian uses, and spend a lot of time simulating network characteristics such as data and order latency. They also use machine learning, which isn't possible on Quant

eToro wouldn't be used by any remotely professional day trader. Most of those accounts are most likely idle and judging by eToro's target audience - highly amateur. Whilst majority of course loose money, so do majority of busine

So not only do developers want to make money doing things they enjoy, they now also want to do it without putting in much effort? I wonder how long this bubble will last.

BlackRock - one the largest investment managers in the world does exactly that. After the crash they have started buying real estate at auctions in bulk, and renting it out. It helps that they pay less than 1% in interest because they hav

Wow what an absolute nightmare to wrap my head around. Reminds me of J2EE days of abstract patterns everywhere just because we can. Talk about simplicity. Here is the same app in 130 lines: https://github.com/techlayer/

Nobody seems to have mentioned that the author works for FreshInbox - an email marketing company. Sorry Justin, but sending web-pages by email is exactly why email sucks. No messaging apps allow HTML+CSS markup to be sent, and there's
