I love this. My wife calls them “art projects”. It’s freeing. Yes you build ideas and abandoned them. But so does an artist. Enjoy the creation even if it doesn’t turn into a business.

And yes domain collecting is real.

That could be an "easy" fix where you could disable use of in-app browsers through Screen Time options.

I've meant to write a blog post about this, but here goes: In-app browsers allow users to view inappropriate content, often against the wishes of sensitive individuals. People especially at risk for this include addicts and children.

Nearly every app, even "safe apps" including children-rated apps, allow access to an in app browser. Even when iOs has locked down all access to Safari, a parent has removed access to all the "apparent" unsafe sites, there are still ways to access the unfiltered internet inside of these safe apps.

How? Usually buried in App Settings. Almost all apps use some instance of an in-app browser to (lazily) reference thier privacy policies, EULAs, or TOCs. A buried link leads to a homepage, leads to an instagram link, leads to an unfiltered internet. Yes they are long, inefficient paths to reach the internet, but curious (or motivated) individuals or children will use almost any app to reach the internet. Even boring apps like MS Teams or adding a Gmail account to iOS mail uses a secret in-app browser.

This obviously presents a problem: should developers restrict any and all app access to in-app browsers, or leave policing to individuals/parents? An easy approach is to disable the in-app browser functionality in iOs, but obviously with grave cost to developers. At the same time, at what cost is in-app browser functionality being implemented.

I have the reverse problem...I need to liberate my 600GB of photos from Dropbox into iCloud. Any reccomendations without downloading the entire thing to an external drive and re-uploading?

I think even more important to learn is how we "act" about money. Kids need to learn the psychology of money/finance as much as the knowledge about it. Just finished Morgan Housel's "Psychology of Money" and it should be required curriculum (every year) for high school and especially college students. When my kids are older, they are definitely reading it!

Huge academic book: Commercial Real Estate: Analysis and Investments by Geltner.

What are you looking to accomplish?

Are you selling something or looking for advice in sales? What is the product?

All: Family member recently diagnosed with Early Onset Alz Disease. Articles like this excite us and we desparately want treatments to work (including the hyperbaric chamber, stem cells, dietary changes, the works, etc), but can't help but think following these rabbit trails is only confirmation bias. Does anyone here know of any treatments that actually are worth exploring (ie have actually been studied, but not gained wide-spread adoption). I know this is a shot in the dark but appreciate any new research you could point me to.

Is there a website like codepen or jsfiddle to build and show off generative art in javascript? Would be a fun little community.

There is a podcast I listen to every time it comes out (Uhh Yeah Dude), but the creators don't create transcripts. One idea I had was directly targeting podcast creators and creating a service whereby you create searcheable transcripts for listeners looking for an old podcast.

I think the transcript creation service in itself must be worth something for these guys.

Chris-Follow your comments religiously. You always harp on stop loss orders, can you point towards the "right" kind of orders to make instead? Thanks.

Check out my page: http://www.watchagents.com. I made a list of all my favorite used vintage watch resellers. To answer your original question: Seiko or Orient. Great mechanical watches, watch lovers give you a nod, not overpriced, high value!

I am working on a project processing public data and reselling it, similar to you. Is it legal to resell public information? What rationale did you use to defend paying for it? Also how did you arrive at/figure out your pricing?

The one thing I always tell anyone on the job hunt, which few ever seem to take me up on: Informational Interviews. These are informal "can I take you out to coffee?" talks with people in your industry to see what they are working on, what is happening with them, what is going on in the industry. Every job I have ever gotten is through informal meetings with people I have met through my network (whether its the current employer, your friends, parents, relatives, or other).

At the end of every one I ask: "Is there anyone else you think I should talk to?" and "Do you currently have any opportunities at your company for me?". Rinse repeat. I guarantee investing in 30 informational interviews will yield huge dividends vs. 30 career fairs, a personal pitch deck, starting a blog, dusting off your resume, or God Forbid: applying to a million jobs on online portals.

I wrote a free guide on this if anyone is interested, would love feedback.

Most if not all are online dealers (will ship to you), but I can definitely add in locale in the future! Thanks for feedback.

My wife and I rewatch the obligatory Lustig lecture about once a month to re-anger ourselves at sugar. Nothing motivates like a bit of biochemistry mixed in with political intrigue.

Is there a standardized excel knowledge test and or certification? As a senior analyst excel expertise is requisite, but is very hard to interview for...I had to make an excel test just to empirically rate our analyst candidates. I know there are the excel competitions (http://www.modeloff.com/) and great resources (http://www.chandoo.com/wp), but no rating system for knowledge (even basic) of excel. Think the big investment banks would be interested in "testing" their analysts empirically before hiring them?

There was a great post about a week ago about books you would give as a gift.

I hear this often, and yes it can be very frustrating to get rejections. I've done 200+ informational interviews over my career, and probably gotten turned down by 2000 requests. I wrote a post about this problem specifically a while back: https://grahamwahlberg.com/2016/03/22/informational-intervie...

But summary is:

1) Are you the people you are reaching out to “warm contacts”? By that I mean is there someone you know who knows them? If not you may want to try to start with people you already know.

2) What level of experience are you targeting for coffees? 1-2 yrs experience engineers? 5-10? 30-40 years? I have found that targeting people your own age yields worse results, but people just a little ahead of you in their career are more likely.

3) What kind of people? Some people are intimidated by going to coffee with someone new and some aren’t. If you can (and this is tricky) figure out who is more likely to say Yes.

Hi there. I just wrote a full length guidebook on the portion you refer as "Leads". I call them "Informational Interviews". Book is available for free at and I'd love to partner with you guys to reach more people! Content here: http://www.grahamwahlberg.com/book

A few areas - Data, Analysis, and Reporting. I work in institutional real estate and we still heavily rely on legacy data providers (Costar and Brokerages), do most of our analysis in Excel, and Reporting in Word and Powerpoint. Financial instruments have been largely unchanged for the past 20 years, and perhaps new ways to fund debt and equity could be areas for change. By and large though, new ways to get data that is meaningful and ways to analyse it could be winners. Also, CRE has changed a lot in the last couple of years. First movers like VTS, Hightower, the crowdfunding companies, and even brokerage companies are starting to embrace technology beyond email and phone calls.

Is the software available for download?

Is there any website/service that allows US citizens to sign and send a pre-written letter to their congressman to address this issue, specifically pertaining to the Zika Virus and/or killing mosquitoes? Change.org campaign?

My wife is pregnant now, we live in Southern California, and I feel fairly powerless to do anything except ask my wife to DEET up, be on the lookout for freestanding water, add screens, and pray.

A great post with non-technical related questions and discussion on questions to ask an employer:

http://www.theladders.com/career-newsletters/it-s-not-about-...

I agree you are also trying to determine if the employer is a good fit for you. I think this is implicit in the interview process. You absolutely should ask questions that tick your own boxes!

What I have found in my own career, though, is that you can't turn down a job or company if you are not offered. If you get an offer, and the company isn't a fit, it is your own prerogative to turn it down. Until that point, though, you are selling yourself and trying to get the job.
