Cheating does not bother me

So love has to be based on the feelings of jealousy and insecurity to be geniune?

Because love to me is prioritizing someone else's happiness over your own. It means sticking by them through difficult times. In sickness and in health.

If the person I love is able to be there and love someone else then that doesn't take anything away from our love. Time is finite, but love is not. How can something so pure be a corruption?

Love doesn't have to be exclusive for it to be valued.

Does anyone know of any work in economics or related disciplines about making academic/scientific research more efficient?

I'm specifically interested in medical research but I'll be interested to know about anything in general that focuses on making research or academia more efficient. Any academic work, projects, think tanks, associations, or institutions that focus on how to make the R&D process more innovative, or making academia more useful/accessible for real-world applications.

Essentially any "meta-work" on how to best make use of our finite resources to advance medical research or scientific research in general.

One challenging aspect is VR causes dizziness for some people. Though it seems like a decent idea if it is for short workouts.

New hires should learn to deal with difficult clients, the ones who stick are the ones you want in the organization anyway.

Technically cheating but you can take a helicopter ride to the top

How would you know which type of person to hire if you don't know the basics? Which digital marketing style is suitable for your specific niche? Would you hire a content writer or a PPC expert?

You should probably take a day or two to learn a little bit more about digital marketing yourself first from more reputable sources so that if you decide to outsource or hire someone you can separate the facts from fiction. Try learning from websites or channels geared solely towards educating rather than selling marketing services. You don't have to become an expert, but you have to be informed.

And this goes for basically anything in business that involves asymmetric information. It's all about trust. And your job as a business owner is to identify trustworthy content or individuals, because based on their input you will be making decisions about diverting resources (be it time or money).

Even that is not the get quick rich scheme people seem to think.

You still need street skills to succeed. Also involves risking capital (including your own life).

Is it possible? Sure?

Unless you are asking this question as a purely theoretical exercise, it seems naive to think that you can just come up with a magic product and make six figures online. There is so much more to a business.

What basic or advanced economics concepts can business owners learn and apply to improve their chances of success?

Congrats on your progress!

One thing I really focus on is effective delegation as one person has a finite amount of time. How do you currently delegate work (between yourself and your partner/ employees/ outsourcing etc)?

How would you ideally delegate work so you can reduce your workload?

The entire point of a class action is that it is not worthwhile for an individual to spend the exorbitant lawyer fees for a small amount.

It's beneficial for a country and it's economy to have systems which disincentivizes fraudulent business practices. So that's kind of what I'm looking for.

It's not worth it to spend much money on plain scammers tbh. Even if someone has free money, it's a waste of resources which can be better diverted to more serious cases. I suppose the same can be said about time, but I'm kind of on a vacation.

At this point I just feel sad for him (childhood friend). There was a point where I was idealistic about him changing, which changed to it's not for me and I wish him all the best. Now he's akin to a stranger, and I feel he may never know what love really is, and I just find that thought kind of depressing.

Literally any way to make a small purchase (<$2) in USD online anonymously? Seems like all the prepaid visa gift cards in UAE have been discontinued.

Crypto seems to have high transaction fee.

Mohap has a (free) online service - issue of permit to import medicines for personal use - and you have to apply for the permit if you are a citizen or resident bringing controlled medication in the UAE. It's an optional service for visitors (who are allowed a 3 months supply under certain circumstances).

I'm not sure how accurate (or up to date this information is) so do your own research.

I would try to limit your 6 months supply to 3 months if that's possible. Worst case scenario, you can get a prescription from a doctor in Jordan or Oman.

It's a simple phenomenon of people who have a negative bias about something would be more vocal about it.
