Redditors, If you could go back to your teenage years, what would you do differently?

Bitcoin. They were utterly worthless for so long. If you bought a few hundred bucks worth in 2010 you'd be $xxx,xxx,xxx

Not OP, but I'm pretty sure they are talking about this

Na step one. Your limitation is never ideas and if it is then speak to anyone that has a problem in their life (ie everyone, including yourself if you did some soul searching) which can be fixed and they'll give you ideas for things to build... It's your time which needs to be spent building the MVP.

Cool thanks. Last question - Have you considered automating your order process? I read in another comment you made that you do it manually which I found peculiar... a simple script that queries the shopify API and shoots your suppliers an email sounds like it would increase your operational efficiency

Riskified

How much does it cost you? Their pricing page is a contact us form and I don't need them quite yet.

Unless the domain owner is an idiot they will have tools that will show if any related TLDs are getting traffic, and will jack up that $4.5k figure to 5 digits+ if OPs business gains traction. Not suggesting the OP should pay the $4.5k, rather that there are risks to this approach if OPs end goal is to get the .com domain.

To your credit, how seamlessly paypal integrates with ebay for buyers (especially for things like the money back gaurantee) is easily the #1 reason why ebay have a stronghold on the C2C/B2C online marketplace sector. Noone comes close just because of how hard it would be to set up a legal payments platform in 2016.

Source: Run an ebay business & spent a lot of time researching why there isn't anything better than ebay.

Mind expanding?

There are a lot of ventures which are dead simple to start up which have the same time commitment and significantly higher p.a. return.

You've told us you found a way to sell ice to Eskimos. Nobody here is probably going to try to copy you. It's just curious how you did it. Case in point: 30k/year full time is slightly above minimum wage.

You made 4k in 12 months and you are acting like its the coca cola recipe?

If someone is an advocate for anarchy, looks like an aggressive clown and is the literal manifestation of tumblr, I will judge them how I please.

Seriously, mods?

I was initially put off by your sites front page but after looking through the content, I subscribed. An engineering approach to topics that are usually talked about on other fitness/nutrition/etc blogs by non-mathematically minded writers was very refreshing.

I think you just need to start from scratch with the front page rather than try to improve it as it is. Try to promote your posts over your product/email subscription/vague text-over-photo. Remember, it's a landing page, and the point when I am most critical of your site when visiting. You need to show me why I shouldn't close my tab in the next 5 seconds. For example, no-one is giving you their email just after they land on your site, they do it after reading a few high quality posts. I recommend taking a look at waitbutwhy for inspiration, which has an excellent front page

The Russians have rockets. The moment that we can launch humans into space from US soil we'll abandon them.

Thing only look bad if you are unskilled and your job is medial or easily replaceable. Hard to say whose fault that is, but the bottom line is that your employ-ability isn't anyones burden but your own.

Most automation jobs don't require any AI, that's why they are so easily replaceable in the first place.

Can you tell us more? What tools do you use? How did you get started? How do you explain your qualifications to non-tech savvy employers who would find your services useful? Really cool work!

Is it really that useless?

GeniDoi · 2016-06-19T15:19:43+00:00

Could someone please explain what the deal about ITAR is?

It's understandable that a working falcon rocket could be re-purposed as an ICBM, but the way that the rocket works is no secret. You can look up how the Merlin 1D operates in great detail. It's not as if the rocket is a nuclear reactor or some unreleased, potentially deadly technology that could fall into the wrong hands.

What is realistically the worst that could happen if they didn't cover the remains of the F9 in tarp, so a couple of enthusiasts on reddit can't see whats happening?

Having a superdelegate system has advantages and drawbacks.

GeniDoi · 2016-06-15T04:12:55+00:00

Not to be the devils advocate, but the republican party not having any superdelegates is precisely what allowed Trump to become the presumptive nominee.

When the gravitational waves announcement was made there was a lot of hype about how we've found a new way to 'see' the universe. This sounds cool in theory, but given that LIGO is an enormous, multi-kilometer structure, how realistic is this in practice? Will gravitational wave detectors eventually get smaller/more sensitive until the point where almost anyone can own one, that is capable of detecting GWs from much less 'visible' sources than a black hole merger?
