How do you like TimeSvr? (Thinking of getting a VA as well).

[In "Fat Tony" voice]: That is a lovely University you've got there. It would be a shame, if something were to... happen...

Wanted:

Someone who can solve problems and write solid code. If you lie about these qualifications, you must fight our stable of real ninjas, who have never heard of the web, because they are too busy practicing deadly ninja moves.

"Making it" is a journey of several steps:

1. Realizing you haven't been checking price tags on food or household items for a while now.

2. Making money faster than you can find things worth spending it on.

3. Being well-off without having to work full-time.

4. Being well-off through actively-managed passive income.

5. Being able to sail around the world and come back richer (through passive income, not sea trade nor piracy nor fortune hunting ;).

6. Being able to do what you want, where you want, when you want, without the permission or approval of anybody.

Must... resist...

And all this time, I've been injecting it into the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Oh, what a fool I've been!

I'll do it later...

Edit: I was reading this article while procrastinating taking my sister-in-law to the DMV. Meanwhile, she discovered that she had forgotten to bring her passport (for ID), and couldn't actually go today.

Hooray for procrastination! :D

Why buy, when you can found?

Then his "offtopic" disclaimer is apt.

I am Spartacus!

You might accidentally end up volunteering that way...

> Offtopic : I am frustrated with people ignoring no free lunch theorem and trying to use GAs everywhere.

GAs don't violate No Free Lunch. After all, you're a genetic algorithm...

> What were the odds I'd get to say that twice in one day?

Just don't say it a third time, lest you create an unkillable meme...

No, interest usually compounds. This is more like a one-off currency trade of now-dollars versus future-dollars.

I wonder if there's a way around this: instead of an explicit interest or profit, make it a trade-based market:

I'll give you X dollars-today, in exchange for 1.1X dollars-N-months-from-now.

Or I'll give you X dollars-in-a-month in exchange for Y Euros-today.

Does the SEC regulate currency trading markets?

And, if not, why can't dollars-today and dollars-6-months-from-now be traded as separate currencies [taking into account expected inflation/deflation, as well as the time-value of money]?
