Do you mean hospitals, 911 dispatch centers and other critical infrastructure buys and deploys software without having the legal department carefully analyze the terms and conditions, based on the marketing materials…
Angel investments are small - 10s to low 100s thousands. If the founders were software engineers, they should be able to cover the investments from their savings. And if they got salary from the startup they founded,…
I order my food or go to a restaurant every day.
It is very fun with small amounts of money.
Per capita is a dumb indicator for this, though. USA has GDP in tens of trillions. Ireland has 47 times less than that.
> They frequently rank highest on happiness measures If half of young people have low levels of mental wellbeing, perhaps the composite average indicator is not so useful.
Free houses sounds very unlimited to me.
It's a Unix like OS with great separation of concerns. There probably is a way - their browser runs on Linux - but I don't think anyone has done it yet. Could be a fun project to look into!
> Honestly I’m really tempted to try to throw together a 90s style fantasy desktop environment and widget library and make some apps for it. There’s something about that era of computing that feels great. SerenityOS…
Total nonsense about Prague. There are 2 great techno clubs/bars on each Žižkov, Vršovice or Holešovice street, lol. It's mostly locals and expats listening to guys doing it for fun with no managers or marketing (or…
Prague
> established or up and coming DJs Well there's the problem. What you should compare is how many unknown new guys just making good music for fun in small unknown clubs visited by locals are there. In my city I can go to…
I'd definitely be willing to accept reduced output if the price was right. Less income is better than no income. This could significantly increase the value proposition of solar projects in northern areas. Also,…
> Even then, the size of the orbiting reflector would need to be absolutely gargantuan to reflect enough sunlight to be useful. That assumes they try to do it with just one mirror, right? What if they have a system of…
Sure, I agree, this is just my own high level strategy that works for me but might not for you and your situation. From what I saw, marketing is about data and a lot of money. If you don't have that, it's about having a…
I sell software consulting services - a very saturated market. I bought access to a SaaS/database of companies and key management phone numbers, identified which companies use technologies I can offer from their job…
Let me repeat the edited-in question at the end of my first comment: How many cold calls with prospective customers do you have daily? How often do you talk to people who might be interested on LinkedIn or other…
Why not? A large percentage of GDP is about making things other businesses use to do their business. I'm getting spammed by ads from bigger companies doing the same thing - "become our partner / make money with our…
Consistency isn't a strategy, indeed. It's not meant to be. It means you have to keep trying - what strategy you use is a different question. You should make one, try it out a statistically significant amount of times,…
> I'm one step away from claiming that their success is pure luck, as in "being in the right time with the right people", rather than some effort that they've put it which helped them acquire customers, and I'm simply…
They shouldn't get exceptions. There shouldn't be so many laws and regulations that result in EU being so behind economy-, success- and investment-wise.
No, that's not true. There are plenty of stable market capitalization, dividend-generating public companies. Their cap-to-EBITDA ratio is much smaller, but that doesn't change the fact. Of course everybody expects the…
Microsoft has massive government contracts in literally every EU country. US is an ally, not antagonist/enemy.
The EU doesn't invest, the EU provides subsidies with many strings attached. One of the strings usually is "can't be used to pay shareholders" (as in wages, not just dividends). Also, the subsidies are usually provided…
Who said infinite? Startup founders that got investments have designed the exit points based on market conditions, and nobody would trust "infinite". It's just like stock investments (unless you "invest" based on…
