Glad it turned out well for you but amazing how much $ it costs to defend fraud.

Hey there! Let me know if you have any questions or I can help out!
Melbourne, Australia needs to be on your list.

Pros: Most livable city in the world. Great startup scene. Phenomenal transportation options. Great universities. Fantastic street art everywhere. Amazing food. USD vs. AUD is quite good for USD right now so it is pretty affordable.

Cons: Internet not blazing fast. Beaches elsewhere in Australia are much better (it is on a bay = no waves).

I found it to be amazingly expensive (I was there in 2013) but a phenomenal place to explore. Made amazing friends and loved the city but don't miss the $44 burritos.
Also note http://forage.co which is more of recreating the famous restaurant dishes (they do all the lengthy prep and then ship it to you to do the final prep).

Unsure of if you are looking for a peer group to help you through the highs and lows or a PR plan (accelerator graduates rarely have a huge splash, it is all about habits formed and community support).

The project can be funded but if he used a wrong cc # or expired the funds won't transfer, even though the project was 'funded.'

I don't think he would be liable for KS and Amazon fees for that as they are paid instantly when the transfer happens.

Interesting that you did spec work for the cover. A very distasteful move.

Perhaps the BCS is a great analogy: there is a seemingly fair competition but luck, tradition and money sure help you get into the championship game.

The point of the article is the notion that you might not be able to graduate to another league by effort.

It is really odd to think of the skill development it takes to be in the top 20 of poker, or your niche league. Does this have anything to do with 10k hours of development time or being built as a 6'9" athlete (or the intellectual, or drive equivalent).
I self published a book over a year ago. Happy to share all my sales data and let you know how I formatted it.

"US citizens do not require a visa to visit Argentina. US citizens do not require a visa to visit Argentina, however US citizens must pay a "reciprocity fee" prior to arrival and present the receipt for doing so when entering Argentina. "

You have to pay the reciprocity fee for a visa as of two years ago.

I don't think I've had a more awkward feeling seeing something online ever. Nope.

The only way I can really react is to say that I'm here to talk for any friends (or anyone dammit). Community support is community.
