Can confirm. I just received 100 I ordered from Alibaba at $1.60 each. My kids are selling them to friends and people in the neighborhood for $5-7 each. They're going quick. Hadn't thought about wholesaling to gas stations. Maybe

yeah, I figured maybe after all the Alien franchise, we could watch Predator I then maybe AVP.

My 12 yo daughter loves sci-fi movies and we just started watching the Alien franchise in preparation for Alien: Covenant this weekend. My plan was to show her Alien , Aliens , then Prometheus . I hadn't even planned to watch Ali

You'd be surprised how many "AI-powered" startups are actually powered by BPOs located in Columbia/Philippines/India/etc.

Ok, so what are those reasons exactly? I actually don't believe your analogy holds. My mom uses Dropbox but she would never use rsync. But my mom can drive to Target or open her Amazon app and buy Ensure just as easily as she can order

Good essay but I don't like it when people use market cap in these kinds of comparisons. Don't forget that Amazon has 2x the market cap of Wal-Mart–but only slightly above 1/4 of their the annual revenue.

That's funny because I work in shorts and flip flops almost daily during spring and summer. But I agree. Changing clothes or a quick shower helps a lot.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your reservation with revealing it? Is it more of a privacy/principle? Or do you actually lose an edge in salary negotiations by revealing it?

It makes sense though. I'm sure Wall Street is as bad or worse. The thing is, everyone already hates wall st. . SV and startups have become part of pop culture. It's "cool" to have a startup. People are eschewing Wall S

Ummm, perhaps you aren't familiar with all the trouble Gates and MS got in back in 90s. Zuck's record isn't spotless either. Fortunately he got good "adult supervision" early (which this article hit on).

I don't think that's true. Gary Vee has said things like that in the past but more recently said he devotes weekends to family, sleeps more, and vacations more[0]. Tim Ferris literally got famous from a book titled "The 4 Ho

Fascinating, thanks for this. I had a suspicion I wasn't the first person to come up with this idea. I wonder how well such a program could expand to other forms of crowdsourced data.

Someone should figure out a way to embed mechanical turk tasks into video games. Then young men can at least get paid a little bit for their game play.

I feel like we're living in The Circle to some degree. I hadn't read Zuck's manifesto until now. I literally laughed out loud reading it. It makes me wonder if he ever actually looks at the news feeds regular people see. Th

Yeah, definitely. You can find tons of reviews on various sites (DP Review is great) and plenty of sample footage on YouTube. I'd definitely suggest getting something with an external mic jack–getting good audio makes a big difference.

I'm curious why sites/blogs don't start hosting ad assets themselves and serving them from their own domain. My understanding is most ad blocking is done at the host level (maybe I'm wrong and the DOM is involved too). I

You're obviously going to get a variety of answers because it really depends on your product and market. Saas vs hardware, consumer vs smb vs enterprise, mobile vs web, etc. My advice is to read Traction and apply the framework to test

Ok, so what other mainstream product/technology went through a similar evolution as you claim VR is doing now? Recall 2 things: 1. VR has been tried in the past and went nowhere. 2. Adoption of mainstream things is usually pretty steep
