Simply put the world is getting flatter - I think what was laid out in The World is Flat [0] 17 years ago by Tom Friedman is finally coming to fruition. It's good for the world but not necessarily affected US workers. We might see legi

It was obvious OP didn't know simple facts about taxes and income... based on his/her post. Getting that right is more important for the longterm and I think the parent was on point.

Authenticator app can also stop working when you migrate to a new phone - a friend got locked out recently after migration. Apparently you need to follow some steps [0] [0] https://www.alphr.com/transfer-google-authenticator

I was somewhat joking but my company takes checks too - some clients can only pay via check or wire with PO. But we insist on annual subscription simply because processing checks on monthly will be too much overhead not to mention delays.

Your question is framed as a WHERE when you're really asking HOW to get readership. Which, I think, mostly depends on WHAT you're writing not WHERE...

Yes!! I can listen to podcasts and recall info effortlessly but not audiobooks! I think my listening brain is wired for conversations not structured texts.

I initially thought the mall Santa snitched. Last Christmas I got my partner a gift I happened to come across while searching for gift ideas - turned out it’s exactly what she wanted! I was confused - but it turned out I got shown the produ

Here is my trick when it comes to documentation or even writing - I record myself doing a voice or video explainer - less daunting than blank page. Assume the audience are not techies... then transcribe it which end up being like editing &a

So I got grandfathered free plans and I'm now wondering if it's different from paid plans in terms of hosting / privacy and if both are on the same platform.

Was a little surprised by your comment - I don’t think you’re aware of usage in subcultures, it’s not about grammar. Capitalization or lack thereof can indicates tone - e.g yelling etc. For example - What’s up mf! (greetings) vs. What’s up

It’s like trying to register a .com domain - OG ones (short 2-4 letters) are only available in the aftermarket, and only if you have millions. You end up with along-ish name that’s also taken - so end up with domainhq or .io or whatever is

Schools are absolutely a big consideration. I live in central Louisiana (schools are ok, not great). I made the move 15 years ago - sorta forced into it, thanks to hurricane Katrina, but it has grown in me. Remote jobs weren't a thing

I prefaced it with perhaps incentives don’t necessarily line up… maybe there’s a clever way to go about it. I was thinking it will be pre-approved category of content… there’s already such model with sponsored content influencers post.

Yes indeed - I thought everyone knew that /s :) You’ll be amazed how much googling I do when having conversations with friends - I wasn’t born in the West and things like movie references leave me confused af! But I hide it… thank good

Perhaps incentives don't line up... but I'm wondering if social media sites like IG should make renting out usernames a thing - obviously there's a market for it. If I'm taking social media hiatus, for example, I wouldn&

Your situation is apparently common nowadays with OG usernames and can get very dangerous. I had no idea this was a thing until I listened to an episode on Darknet Diaries [0] recently. In the old days, I remember people going after short d

F. Get a remote position and move to a low cost & decent area. You’ll probably afford to buy a mansion with your salary with plenty left to truly focus on the family. I would also work on some version of (b) and (e)

Einstein allegedly didn’t talk full sentences until he was 5 years old … I wonder how freaked out his parents were or rather would be in this day and age! Admittedly it’s hard not to track milestones as a parent; either out of paranoia or h

What inspired you to start? You’ve always been a data/metrics person?

by pkrotich 5y ago
Forget the data - I’m just amazed by the act of sticking to an activity. I’ve attempted “never break the chain” trick to try to build good habits but I always come short. Saying all that to say I truly admire people like you!

It's absolutely your best interest to learn at least the basics as business owner. I did so myself - I still do QuickBooks, but I have a cautionary tale. Learning account is great - it helps you to understand P&L and BS etc - but

My biggest problem with B2C is you have to turn around and monetize your users (eye balls) via Ads or otherwise - now you're back to SALES, but only if you can survive to get the users! It's a catch-22 if you're bootstrapping

This is a classic B2C vs. B2B. Simply put B2C is tough without network effect or funding to build it. B2C - Customer/User has time, not money. B2B - Customer has money, not time.
