Well then, nice to meet a fellow Nigerian :) Ebola is a recent thing AFAIK, so it would make sense that no one was freaking out about it when you were a kid.
To be fair, it does sound like you were in rural Nigeria, so my Malaria experience is likely different from yours
I have a Chevy Bolt and a Model 3 in my household. Of course I much prefer to drive the Model 3, but the Chevy bolt is also all electric , goes about 240 miles on a single charge and costs about $20k less than the Model 3.
Why more people don't get a Chevy Bolt, is a mystery to me.
how are you learning though? Who you play against is pretty important. You need to try and play against the strongest players you can find. Dont be afraid of losing to them
These are somewhat irrelevant questions... one thing that is almost guaranteed is that your original idea will change, and all your loft projections will not come to pass.
When you have W2 employees, there are additional taxes you have to pay, which you don't have to worry about if they are 1099. At a certain size, you are also mandated to provide Health Care benefits etc
The price does not have to be so high..IF stuff is not working out, you can just quit and try something else. There is nothing heroic or romantic about living in poverty.
Joining the workforce or running a so called lifestyle business that makes actual money is not a bad thing.
All this talk of sacrifice and being gods tells me you need to step outside your bubble. You are trying to start a company, not solve World hunger.
The question may have been better phrased as "How unreliable is the internet" . TCP and UDP packets will be dropped at just about the same rate across any network, the only difference is that TCP keeps track, and re-sends any packets that did not arrive.
I suspect many here do not know who he is, but you should probably read his "How to get rich" book..here's a quote :
"Inch by inch, share by share, the nerds
diluted to gain capital to expand and survive. Eventually, the majority of
them lost control of their tiny companies. Many became salaried employees
of the company they had helped to found."
Sounds to me like you are looking for excuses not to solve your own problem...IF you have a means of reaching out to the guy, do so , whats the worst that can happen?
I don't think telling him/her to stay away from swift is good advice.
The swift language itself is not all you have to worry about. Getting familiar with Cocoa touch is also another task. You have about 2 months before ios 8 comes out. In my opinion thats enough time to learn swift and cocoa touch, and come up with a not too complex app.
Are you being serious? IF you can't afford the developer you HAVE TO lay them off, give them an extra week's severance pay or whatever, but give them and yourself a chance to move forward
Excellent tips..my only nit pick is with not using ranges..If you are forced to make the first offer, a range can help figure out what the other party is thinking..if I offer $30-$50 for example, and he jumps on the $50, I'll just repeat the offer at something like $35
Just curious here..If you are already a programmer, why do you need a bootcamp to learn ruby?
It seems to me you should be able to spend $40 on a book, and be up and running within a few weeks. Then try to implement some of the stuff you have done in other languages in ruby.
