One more suggestion. Never ever search any domain you want to buy on GoDaddy. If you search something and the domain name is available and you did not buy it, then good luck getting that domain at a normal price in the future. GoDaddy generally buys it and then parks it with asking price of x100 to x1000 range.
That was also my initial thought. I thought it would be similar to Heroku or Hatchbox. But I see there are lots of information missing on how to deploy a Rails or Django app with databases and redis etc.
It all depends on your level of risk tolerance. Would you want to play safe where you do not want to loose money at all? Invest in inflation protected Treasury bonds. Currently I-bond is paying 7% return.
Would you want to play risky where you do not mind loosing a chunk of the size? Invest in a few obscured cryptos after doing some due diligence where there is a chance of 10-100x return.
Want to play safe where moderate risk is tolerable? Invest in real-estate but it also depends on market and country.
People think buying a franchise will make them an entrepreneur but remember franchise is nothing but a job disguised under thin veil of entrepreneurship. In Franchise business, someone else has a major control over your business and you have to play by their playbook rule. In addition, there is a very little room to scale.
However, if you are person with some developer or marketeer skill then this is the best route to go. If you have few ideas then you can test those by developing a prototype and putting in hand of customers and getting feedback. But be aware that for each prototype you should not spend more than 5-10k. If you have sufficient time in your hand then other non conventional investments can be buying farm lands and trying organic farming, providing micro-loans to entrepreneurs etc.
Not trying to play negative. It is not about building. Developing the product is only 10% of the game. The rest 90% lies in marketing and sales. There are several interesting HN discussions on how these complicated enterprise behemoth survive and flourish.
Moreover if you really want to attract people into your ideas you need to tell a bit more about yourself. Why should I join force with you? What are you bringing on the table?
Agree. Big name and celebrities should held social media accountable and companies or organizations defrauding people should not get away with these kind of shenanigans.
Ok great to know. But my intention here is to convey that it is dangerous to biohacking a molecule/compound that a user is going to put in his/her body. The peptides after synthesis needs to be rigorously tested(QC/QA) for the desired sequences and to make sure the absence of any undesired epiotopes mixed.
I completely agree with fabian2k. It's incredibly risky to throw all random sequences peptides into the blood stream for evoking immune response. What happens if a sub-sequence of peptide matches with one of our own's body proteins and our immune system starts building antibody against it? That's what happens in most of autoimmune disease.
In addition, most of the peptides that can be synthesized from a protein structures are sequential epitopes. To ELI5, imagine a string with beads that starts with A-Z letters and we take a smaller sequence A-B-C-D or B-C-D-E and throw to system to build antibody against it. Yes, the immune system can make antibodies against it. But in real life, most of the protective or virus neutralizing antibodies comes from conformational epitopes. Imagine when the protein gets folded to its natural form then the beads with letter sequences are just jumbled sequences and finding a conformational epitope is key to raise neutralizing antibodies. That is only possible when a protein's structure is fully understood using x-ray crystallography. The article does not disclose how the author was able to get those sequences and how he was sure about its efficacy.
However, the author's bold step towards the experiment is praiseworthy. But extreme caution is needs to be taken as self administering an untested drug or vaccine may fall within the boundary of law and it can invoke regulatory actions against him.
Great and awesome resource. Just signed up as a paid member. My only minor gripe is that most of the courses are geared towards frontend development. It would be great if founders can invite authors to develop some courses on backend development, databases and some SRE etc.
Any courses on frameworks such as ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails or Django would be great. I can see the complexity arising in creating in-browser tutorials involving any backend or framework etc. But I think it will add tremendous value to the platform.
To add on top of it, majority of graduate students are from countries like India and China and their life/career is tied to F1 visa status which make students even more vulnerable to disclose any sincere/legit info. about the program they are in.
It depends what you will be using for. I have been using Hetzner and happy with them. Mind you the customer services is next to none. So if you are a guy who wants to invest some time and learn by doing then it is a great deal. I have seen nobody is close to it's price point not even AWS.
In addition to all information above this test is able to detect antibodies only not virus. So it is not recommended tests by WHO. This test is only useful in the later part of infection by the time which patient might have in contact with others thus spreading the disease. We need tests which can detect single of very few virus particle in the early stage of infection and that will help to quarantine the patient thus reducing virus spread.
I wish you good luck. I was in your place couple of years ago. The only way out of this situation is to apply. As from the other post that you have had somebody has already mentioned, you probably did not have many opportunities due to holiday window. I suggest you double down and start applying and interviewing from Jan 2020. Trust me, this is just a number game. And as others have said, nobody is not 100% sure how to properly interview a candidate or find a great developer.
