You should pay yourself replacement value.

What would you need to pay to replace the closest version to you at the stage of the company u are at.

"politics or cultural norms" this made me think twice. Thanks for this perspective

The internet in my belief has always been the infrastructure and foundational layout for setting the stage for what will become the framework for conducting the rules of engagement of a true one world nation

Step 1 was Effortless communication. (internet)

Step 2 Will be effortless currency and exchange of value with decentralized authority. (Maybe Bitcoin)

Step 3 Will be politics and authority protocol for decision making.

Step 4 will be to Establish a real defence program to protect all of the above.

The road will be ugly, chaotic, confusing, complex, but I really do believe that humans are racing towards establishing the 1st principles of survival, which is to identify 1st as a humans of the planet earth and 2nd as whatever other belief one might have.

Are we becoming a one world nation?

I really do believe we're going through the growing pains of becoming a One World Nation whether we like it or not.In studying the evolution of Homo Sapiens it's obvious that one of our key factors to understanding our survival is that we figured out strength through group work, thought, and shared resources.Very early in this evolution, as we were figuring this out, it was not yet obvious that...

Just looked at your HN profile and cant find a way to contact you.
I've always found huge success in the mornings and huge flops in the evenings.

Can you get into a little more detail regarding your primary business? I'd love to brainstorm? Whatsapp or Skype maybe?

This question strikes me as something I was searching for as well. About 3 years ago someone shared this with me and it changed my whole perspective of the "Life KPIs" I was monitoring.

Here it is:

"Life is not about happiness but rather the ability have purpose, to do something meaningful, and to have it matter that you lived at all. Keep adding value to the world big or small, and you'll never be short of gratitude."

I wont be prescriptive, instead, all I can tell you is that it's changed my life. I started optimizing for the above and haven't looked back since.

You could so some pretty cool stuff. Have you been hyper optimizing it?

Product shelve to sale ratios?

80/20 type optimizations on revenue by skus?

Traffic flow maps?

I'd love to hear some result or stories if you do end up doing some of this.

Hey Mate, I've been into web development and ruby scripting as a hobbyist for 3 years now.

It has helped me significantly in my professional and personal life.

The best way to make meaningful contribution is to become a true beginner. It's hard work but will change your life. You will have an entirely new framework to pull on when thinking about problems.

I would start with something like Lambda School Machine Learning Free Mini Bootcamp and then let your natural curiosity take you from there.

The journey is everything, dreaming is living, and toolkits compound creativity.

Rock on and I hope you help the world become a little bit better.

Lets say were pre 2000 and the gap can be big 1995-1999.... what project at this current state looks like amazon in ideology towards use of tech?(ie: they used the internet to capture a new storefront that could hold unlimited books and pay low rent because they didn't need to be on main street, pass those savings on)None as answer is acceptable.
