Look into CBT in terms of efficacy. A bit of a PSA... For anyone who relates to this very strongly, some people with extreme difficulty in forming positive habits have executive function disorders such as ADHD. This is a primary symptom and

Debilitating procrastination can actually be issues with conscious control of attention/executive functions (ADHD being one of the main presentations of this). The other side of this is strong tendency to hyperfocus, whether on the rig

I've lived there 20% time since 2009 have never heard of this system. People said the same thing to me about those pylons. They've since launched a "busway" system and are currently building a proper light rail MRT syste

Some of what you say here reminds me of how a friend described his ADHD hyperfocus and extreme avoidance behaviors. Two sides of executive function issues. It may be worth doing an online ADHD assessment to see if there is a big easy soluti

This update adds a camera connector. The GPIO header is still not populated on the board. This is actually great for those who plan on soldering different kinds of connectors (right angle, female, bottom-mounted, etc)

Depending on where you live, calling someone a monkey can range from mild to terrible insult implying stupidity through to full on racial epithet.

Sure! But the two mics I mentioned don't require a studio environment to sound good. Almost any reasonable room will do. They can be had for around the same price as the setup mentioned in the article. Sound quality is king in podcasti

As someone who records a lot of different amateur voice people daily for language courses, I'd have to disagree with some of this. It's generally an OK guide, but I would suggest the mic recommendations are incorrect. I'd lik

To clarify the title, the findings are related to liquid resin-based methods vs. the much more common FDM method (usually extruded plastic filament) method. The latter is usually ABS or PLA plastic, both of which are as theoretically safe a

How to hook a 13 year old on a life-long love of bare metal: I actually learned how to code in C and x86 asm mostly from Denthor's tutorials discovered on some local Boston-area. It lead me to GCC (DJGPP), Linux and love for low-level

I entered the job market at 19 years old in 1998. I did what's now called DevOps, automating server and code deployment, monitoring, etc. I could do no wrong. Got promoted, ran a team before I could buy a drink. Got treated like a rock

I've flown the NYC -> SIN route on Singapore Air a few times a year for a long time. When they upgraded the route to the A380, it changed a lot about that long haul experience. All things being equal (crew, airline, route, etc), thi

Drop me an email! (info in profile). I definitely want to get around to doing work in Udemy, but I do have to say that they're not as big as, say, Youtube. :) For example, if you have a popular video, that gets embedded and linked to a

I'm not sure if its a good idea to share the exact topics, but generally they are language learning and software training (for example, specific CMSs). I do everything through my own sites and find customers through via free podcasts,

between $3000- and $18,000+/mo in online courses. The latter being more active in terms of sales, promotion, offers. It's not sustainable since customers are not responsive to this kind of thing each and every month.

Perhaps you can follow a basic rational investing principle: If, knowing what you know now, would you invest at the current stage/valuation? If no, dump it. If yes, buy more.

I know the post title says iOS promo codes, but the copy on the site says promo / coupon codes. Is there any reason this is limited to iOS app codes or can deliver any kind of "string" as a reward?

While I think I would benefit from using a tool like this, I definitely wouldn't buy it as it is offered. A good idea may be to aggressively seek a round of feedback on how it's priced and delivered. This would not be a space to

The author doesn't demonstrate his case, but he's not wrong about the entire platform. The real lock-ins remain in the form of the iOS/OS X SDKs and services like CloudKit. A more coherent argument might be that the much easi

INAL, but if you contribute materially to a business, you cannot be an unpaid intern. It's probably highly illegal to use the fruits of your labor in any significant way. Internships are there for you to learn, not for companies to exp

Thanks! I will definitely dig into these. I absolutely agree regarding VC. Even if for some reason you DID want VC calling the shots, it's still way too early. If you look at the company itself in terms of an MVP, why go selling it to

We are bootstrapping, so there's no interest in money or outside investment. That's not the spirit of the question -- more to do with the huge productivity and motivational effects around an accelerator-style launch.

The cost is definitely a fair point. We could definitely pay for it if it existed. We may not be looking aggressively for mentors' time, but more of a framework. Or, to put it another way, is there a MOOC "course audit" form

What we find most appealing is the rapid initial launch framework. The growth is really just growing into our pants. It's not startup growth, rather comfortable small business growth. A million or two a year in revenue if we execute r

They moved newsletters, promotions and other commercial email into Promotions and now they're reformatting the parsable ones into ads. From an email marketing perspective, I'm torn. I can definitely put out offers like this if tha
