That statistic comes from social media marketers who like to overstate the value of social media. In reality, most of the people doing that retweeting are simply using fake twitter accounts to do the retweet. I do the same thing. No one rea

Definitely guilty of this. The real irony of it is that the cheating on the exam was actually far more of a challenge and had an adrenaline rush to it. That's why I did it at least. I remember one method I would use is to simply memori

This is true. Reminds me of a somewhat popular youtuber who makes videos about "side hustles." One of his "main" side hustle is operating vending machines. He basically makes videos about how to operate your own vending

I think this idea is brilliant and has a lot of potential to disrupt the traditional western housing model. I think a lot of young people will definitely be willing to make the trade off of living in a smaller space to get ahead in life.

Also nuclear power. Run a profitable fleet of nuclear reactors and when the reactors get too old to operate you decommission them and then eventually the company goes bust...leaving the government to fund the never ending legacy costs of de

Or companies like Adobe creating PDF format to allow anyone to sell their book on their website or give it away for free direct to the consumer.

The problem with coursera and udemy is that they lock you into their platform and limit you in terms of what you can do. When you build the product with its own website, you can basically do whatever you want in terms of innovation.

I've always wondered if it would be possible to create a true decentralized stable coin. Put some sort of mechanics in the code to do proof of stake rewards if the price starts skyrocketing (increase supply) and then maybe increase tra

Code can be verified and audited though.

IMO, I think the only reason corporations have signed up is because they don't want to be left out if Libra goes big.

by anonymous5133 7y ago
It is an overall net positive. Just imagine if you live in a country with unstable currency/government. Libra might allow you to protect yourself and allow you to continue surviving (by being able to trade or buy stuff from abroad). Th

Libra is going to be a KYC/Anti AML coin. Not really sure how they're going to 100% enforce it though.

by anonymous5133 7y ago
Yes it is true. From what I understand if there is an excessive amount of selling then they simply fund the withdraws by taking funds out of the reserves and simply "deleting" the libra tokens. Same story if there is lots of peopl

1. unrealistic to expect libra to have zero anonymity given current regulations around know your customer/anti-money laundering rules. 2. Libra is actually operated by the libra association. Facebook only has a minority voting share in

Completely agree. Many people are thinking way too narrow for how big facebook is. Project libra will be the great equalizer and put everyone more or less on the same "economic playing field" so to speak. Since this community is h

So maybe perhaps going after the supply side of the drug trade is a waste of time? As long as there is a demand, there will be a supplier. I think we need to get tougher on drug treatment. Make it a mandatory punishment.

Tech is just an overall outlier since the demand is so high in that field that employers are willing to hire people who just have the skills to do the job. In more traditional career paths, like engineering, a college degree is absolutely r

Those little quirks can be eliminated through proper employment screening. You can implement personality screening, skills verification exams and so on. Assuming the screening is effective, these undesirable candidates can be eliminated qui

College will already be made free in due time but it won't be from a government funded university. It will simply be from a private organization making the courses on their own and putting them online for free. People won't believ

I graduated from high school in 2006 and was determined to study computer science when I went to college but by the time I had graduated I decided to just go with accounting because I had heard so many horror stories about how there were no

Really brings into question what type of law education that guy was getting if he didn't know student loans couldn't be bankrupted...I think I learned that from high school...

Absolutely agree. A big part of this problem, which is still being perpetuated today, is this idea that if you go to college and study ANYTHING then it will get you that coveted 50k/year salary job upon graduation. This idea was mainly

I was extremely frugal with my college decisions and effectively optimized for cheapest option. This is what I did. 1. In high school I took as many AP courses as I could possibly take and realistically pass. I ended up passing 6 of these e

Completely agree - having solid courses that teach relevant theory/skills is extremely valuable. We simply need to make the means by which we take such courses more efficient and therefore lower cost. The bigger issue here is that empl

I would argue that obtaining a high quality education and developing meaningful life philosophy are two separate areas. Colleges need to move away from the teaching life philosophy to everyone. If people already know what they want to do wi

Education products is always a tough market due to people viewing education as basically discretionary instead of an investment.
