Confirmed cases - (deaths + recovered cases)

I couldn't find some essential charts about the coronavirus, so I made my own.

More charts are in the works.

No ads, no collecting of personal data (sans GA), just charts.

Let me know, if you'd like to see some other representations there.

Telling those people how to improve their privacy before Beijing did this.

I didn't say I don't want to read it. I said, the authors gave away their bias from the get-go.

Their opinion still might be valuable.

At least, the authors gave away their bias from the get-go.

Because Libra is going to attract more people into the crypto industry and it doesn't compete with Bitcoin but rather complement it.

Pieter Levels does it. He is the kind of a guy you'd want to take money from.

To people wondering why you would want to move to a standalone solution while Medium provides you with distribution and community - it does not (anymore). Well, not to the extent that justifies ceding the control over the representation of your content.

Take a look at this experience https://www.freecodecamp.org/forum/t/we-just-moved-off-of-me...

Tl;dr: Medium's practice of paywalling articles and preferential treatment of those articles over public ones kills the reach of your content. Also, they lock you in by removing the feature of attaching your own domain name. Also, their weird upvote mechanism. Also, the dysfunctional comment system. I can go on and on.

Let me rephrase it, you don't need capital.

Otherwise, yes, money is crucial to building a startup. As well as the oxygen you will be breathing while building it.

Among many other mandatory things, yes. But money is not one of them.

He might not have a nuanced understanding of this issue (although, we can't be sure, can we?), but it doesn't make his tweet inaccurate. He literally was talking about "starting startups" and "rich kids". You can be poor and still start a successful startup.

Yes, privileged background is an amplifier and higher starting point. But you don't need any money to make a startup today. Generally, you need a computer with internet access. Although, even a computer is optional as I know some founders who started with just a smartphone (they were building Instagram accounts).

Having said that, there are some people on this planet who are truly underprivileged and can't afford not even a device with internet connection but the very idea that startups could be built by individuals. That's scary.

Yes, Airbnb founders are privileged, but the mob attacking Paul is missing the message. If you are underprivileged, well... tough luck, you're not gonna build a unicorn. However, you can build a $1000, $10000, or $100k startup.

Also, people there are conflating the terms "rich" and "privileged." You can have everything Airbnb's founders have and still be poor.

Paul should be more careful with wording, though.

> What is your current revenue? The web service is just launched, let's wait at least a month to accumulate some stats. I'm testing Google Adwords, Facebook Ads, and LinkedIn Ads so, and it should negatively affect the short-term profits. But for the first month I would look at something like $200-500 in revenue.

It's a pretty rough estimation for sure but I considered how much on average is made by the Fiverr's top quote image content gigs and did a quick analysis of how many packages could be sold on the verticals not covered by the Fiverr's gigs.

Let's see how it goes though.

This is my third tutorial on building a simple and profitable SaaS. As usual, I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thanks for reading!
