While I'm happy to run a startup as a single founder myself - I think I'd prefer to invest in teams too. A team already has something to match your investment (the team itself). Also, I wonder if its not more difficult to judge which single

Pattaya, I guess the rental market is diverse. I didn't care for Phuket much myself - a bit of a tourist trap I thought.

$900 p/m. Easy to cut back to $500 a month for a smaller place, or $300 to lose the view too, or $200 to lose the location too. You wouldn't want to go any lower than that though.

Thailand has an education visa program - you need to be learning something for a minimum of 4 hours/week to qualify. Technically, it can be pretty much anything, but languages are popular. People do the visa run thing too - every sixty days

About $35000 here in Thailand gives me a lifestyle that I think of as lavish and decadent, but I guess the OP would consider frugal and cautious. 120sqm condo beside the sea, eat out every night, tennis and language lessons. I could probabl

I read a story about how some government organization in the UK was giving them to drunk girls outside clubs to help them get home. Apparently, at the end of boozy night, it's a lot easier to get home in a pair of flip flops. Maybe that's a

Maybe incorporate offshore (Belize, Panama, Seychelles), and work from Costa Rica. Zero tax, and no sea-sickness issues. Might be a problem to get investment, or sell your startup though.. For bootstrapping, the main problem I found with ta

I think that we do overpay for this liquidity. Both in terms of economic rents extracted, and the wasted resources poured into the competition. I wonder if there might be a way to keep most of the liquidity but at a fraction of the cost

Also the Fed can print money. Which is how the story inevitably ends. It seems to me that the problem is created by economists winging it. I'd rather see a financial system designed and run by engineers.

No, I think this is a problem for the free market. I keep hearing that there aren't enough scientists and engineers, but then I look at the pay for a graduate with a B.Sc., and it's a low starting salary - if there were really a shortage, t

I found that moving to opt-in from double opt-in increased subscriptions by about 70%. I also find double opt-in an annoyance as a subscriber.

Yes, I've found that it is possible to change the 'top idea' in my mind, just by noticing that I am thinking of it, and choosing to not think, or think of something else in that moment. This seems to cause thinking about it to occur less fr

I wonder if creating a local wifi hotspot with a captive portal would be a good way to jump-start these hyper-local groups. So a user logging onto the local open wifi hotspot is re-directed to the local group, which might be Yahoo or Google
