>TFW you realize that Websites like Pic related and investopedia make /biz/ completely useless because it offers information is a better and more accurate form

When did you realize that /biz/ is a joke only useful for sharing funnie employment stories and shitposting?

Literally every other dedicated website/forum/wiki is much better.

TL;DR: worst case scenario for renting with people who are complete strangers?

currently in a dingy, 4BE/2BA $500/month apartment.

i'm thinking of organizing an 3/4BE rental in a better apartment ($1250/month) with 2/3 other people (don't know them) from my uni through our private listings.

is this a good idea?

i've heard stories of friends of friends who had their name on the lease and got into trouble, but not kicked out, because room mates didn't pay on time.

Associate degree in IT
or
Associate degree in Programming
or
Bachelor in Computer science

I am stuck between a few choices here. I want to get into computers but was wondering which degree would be more valuable for employment/starting a business down the road.
I know that in the IT/ programming sector Experience > education.
But what would be the wiser decision that will give me the best ROI.

Even though I work a low-paid job (barely more than minimum wage), I have managed to save up a couple of thousand pounds of disposable income. I was considering putting aside £1,000 and starting a simple investment portfolio with some diverse low-risk stocks, and adding to it each month with about half of my disposable income (which will hopefully improve when I eventually find a better-paid job).

Is it worth it? Or should I spend this money some other way (e.g. having a better social life, saving up for a deposit on a house, etc)?

Why do I never see lifestyle / online businesses discussed here?

There is a vast amount of content out there that's paved the way.
http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/podcasts/
^ This is by no means the best resource, but it's a great place to start for anyone that's interested. There are a wealth of westerners that have started business and many live abroad in places like southest asia. They're essentially living the 4 hour work week (minus the 4 hours, though it doesn't seem uncommon for people to let employees take the wheel after they've grown tired of working on their business).


I've studied more about lifestyle / online businesses, startups (Silicon Valley) and digital marketing than a great majority of people. Like the 1% of the 1%. Ask me anything.

I'm 24 years old. I've largely lived life as a neet - though at least for the past couple of years you can replace playing videogames all day with researching shit all day. I've grown pretty knowledgeable because of that.

Recently I've started to teach myself to code. At this point I'm more than competent making algorithms in Javascript. I'm going to make an app (android) that is basically a voice command digital assistant. Mainly for managing time, setting reminders and taking quick notes. The inputs will be pretty robust - the goal is to talk to it like you would a person.

I've researched and gone to presentations on digital assistants and robotics. A lot of this shit is in its infancy and the main breakthroughs have been in Voice Recognition (speech-to-text) and Voice Synthesis (text-to-speech). And even then most players in the space are utilizing either one of two companies to do this (Google or a company called Nuance, which the iPhone uses).
I don't plan on making money from the app. I'm just going to use it to get accepted into the best coding bootcamp (Hack Reactor), and I'd probably still be accepted otherwise. I go to meetups at their SF location.

Friendly reminder the price of Bitcoin has more than tripled in a little over a year.

You still see people shilling cryptos not named Bitcoin (scamcoins) and retarded nocoiners trying to cope.

It's not to late to get in.
