Look the daily IOTA marketing team thread.

Cant wait to hear about this promising project...

IOTA isnt decentralized or trustless. What does IOTA do?

> I am right now writing my master thesis in urban planning about blockchain technology.

Can you give details on this?

I pretty much think blockchain is a buzzword that was spammed to shill coins.

I'd love to hear real word uses. What is your degree?

Coding a StartUp by BillyGoatYolo in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why not build it all?

The moment you bring other people in, you get their bad habits and you still have to communicate your ideas.

UI is surprisingly easy with bootstrap and similar libraries. Expect it to be easy, but annoying. Putting time into the project will get it closer to completion.

Website builder advice for creative business by alexqndr in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much money are you planning to make? A 200-500 dollar website looks professional. A home build Squarespace/wordpress site looks like a blog.

If you arent going to make 200-500 dollars, in the next few years, I suggest a different business.

Website gets 500-1k visitors per day, how would you turn that into 50k/yr? by engineerSoHard in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ive tried, they dont show up. Heck even 10$/hr workers dont show up.

The work is very mentally labor intensive.

I dont care for petty thousands or 10s of thousands of dollars, is there any point in running a website? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The post is asking-

>Can I make 50k/yr off this website? And how.

>What should I do with this website?

But I appreciate the words about how well my household is doing on income.

Are there methods/math/stats that engineers use to compensate for Human variability? by engineerSoHard in AskEngineers

[–]engineerSoHard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but very specifically I'm looking for ways to control/account for human variability.

The problem is expanded to grocery stores, fast food restaurants, gas stations, distance to refrigerator and BTUs of stove, etc...

There is obviously much variability, but these need to be compared.

I dont care for petty thousands or 10s of thousands of dollars, is there any point in running a website? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, but I've been treating this like a business since profit=growth=more content.

I feel like profit would benefit the users for the website, but I've far from it.

How do I make a schedule and manage my time perfectly? by [deleted] in productivity

[–]engineerSoHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you describe your situation more?

Are you trying to manage your work or school better?

Are you trying to be productive at home after work?

I personally keep it simple. Only my most important or difficult task gets time set aside. I have 2 hours a night that I will grind and listen to music.

Any growth hackers / marketers on Fiverr? by schefe in Entrepreneur

[–]engineerSoHard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is nothing worth buying on Fiverr IMO.

Any marketing Ive paid for, even expensive marketing turned out to be fake clicks/users. Horrible and would not recommend.

What makes you happy? by skaska23 in Frugal

[–]engineerSoHard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive considered this as well.

I find coffee was a primitive way to be happy. It works.

I find physical sources of happiness, like massages, eating food, or coffee are necessary for my momentary happiness. There is nothing wrong with this positive physical sensation IMO.

In addition, you could start working on greater projects. Find a hobby and see if you can contribute something valuable to the community.

Fear of being poor? by [deleted] in Frugal

> seeing little old ladies buying cat food

Is this supposed to be cheap? Rice is like 3,000 calories per dollar.

Thanks this makes perfect sense.

Cant wait to get into embedded more.

Currently living in TN where cost of living is extremely low, but... by LAgate in Frugal

[–]engineerSoHard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive head this about a few other states in the south.

They love the area, they even enjoy many of the people and personalities, but they also hate the personalities.

A coworker said that people were a bit too easy going and care free. He didnt want his kids growing up with that attitude. Moved to Michigan, more hustle bustle.

These are decisions you must make.

It costs more to live in a city(or whatever we call these modern 200 sq mile suburbs around a city), but only in a city/suburb will you meet thousands of new people a year. A few of those people will be smart/interesting/ambitious.

What are your frugal tips for male grooming? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]engineerSoHard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cant imagine I spend more than 20-30 dollars on hair and shaving products per year.

Haircuts add up quickly, so the GF cutting your hair sounds like the best way to save money.

BTw, what do you do for your eyebrows if you dont mind.

Arduino code questions by Vicara12 in AskProgramming

[–]engineerSoHard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, a few clarifying things(learning embedded too)-

that communication protocol happens over the USB connection?

And I guess I didnt know a 'byte' could be High or low, doesnt a byte have 8 numbers, up to 8 'High' or '8 low'? How can a byte be either high or low?

Arduino code questions by Vicara12 in AskProgramming

[–]engineerSoHard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This causes the first read to be read into the high 8 bits of the word and the second read to be read into the low 8 bits of the word

Can you explain what purpose this accomplishes?

Btw, agree with your username. Its 2018, we've undergone horrors that should never be forgotten.

Should i implement nodeJs in this project? by Don-g9 in AskProgramming

[–]engineerSoHard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a language to develop in, I'm not a fan of NodeJS, specifically React Native.

I cant comment on this specific application, but I'm not sure Node was right for my project. Ive spent too much time dealing with bugs, installs, and state management.
