This, or better yet, kill yourself
Does /biz/ think a concept such as OB could be the next big step in how commerce is done?
Instead of this being a single product line, it seems like big shift, similar on scale to how filiament bulbs changed into LED's, and generally a good idea

Depending on how user friendly it is, I have my doubts.

>similar on scale to how filiament bulbs changed into LED's,
As much as a good idea it was it failed miserably.
They are too expensive,one costs as 15 regular,they break fast because of the electronics inside.
Please dont draw parallels on things you don't understand.
Sometimes, layers are good. You know, security and shit? Nobody today has any complaints about e-commerce. Its the easiest and fastest its ever been.
The biggest problem in e-commerce is shitbag delivery drivers and general delivery systems.
Any webapp startup ideas?

But I've got a bunch
Stick figure in the background is getting his dick sucked by a web app dev
Yup. Got seed capital?
How the fuck do I get a job?
My dad told me I have two weeks to get a job or he's kicking me out. I've put in 10-15 applications online.
I'm desperate as fuck I will shovel shit for 5 dollars an hour.
>>1073788
Don't sleep until you've handed in 100 applications, made some connections with drug dealers and sucked a cock or two.

id listen to this guy op
>I will shovel shit for 5 dollars an hour
Just use that line.
Would /biz/ trust turbotax for their w2s? I've always paid for them to be done but was thinking about giving it a try
I've done my taxes with turbotax for over 10 years. Never had a problem.
If you buy and sell stock then Turbotax.
Else use the cheapest version of H&R block when it goes on sale in late march.
>>1079816
can confirm turbotax is solid, easy to use software. i've been using it for about 6 years now. i don't know if any alternatives out there are cheaper, but i know it is cheaper than going to a tax preparation service in person.
So interviewers love to play The Price is Right with wages now.
One of the first questions you can expect will be along the lines of, "What kind of salary are you looking for?" Now, this is obviously a game, much like The Price is Right, where you need to get as close to the salary they have in mind without going over. An overestimation essentially ends the interview. Unfortunately, you can't guess $1 to be safe; too low of a guess with leave you undervaluing yourself and unable to reconcile as the interview process comes along.
Or, you could be...

It's for when they have no idea what they're actually interviewing for, and it's the only metric by which they can rightly judge whether they can afford to hire you.
Whoever says a number first loses here.
So you want to say stuff like "well what is the starting salary for [position] at your company?"
Basically go back and forth on them with this and see who cracks first. If you're stubborn they'll gave and likely give you much higher than you expected.

if you have actual valuable skills you should know what they're worth and you can quote an accurate price
How does /biz/ think of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand?
I'm a card-carrying libertarian and I've never made it past the first 3 chapters
I read a good part of it, but got sick of reading all books and stopped. However I remember the Rearden metal, the great sex stuff, and that I couldn't place what year the damn thing was set in.

Why would you do this to yourself, familia?
I'm currently working with my family at a luxury vehicle repair shop. We've been skimming along now for a couple years and have a recurring problem. The problem is people at a certain time of year just leave their vehicles at our shop so that they don't have to pay us for the job.
I've Already suggested charging a storage fee for these people, but is there another better way of having customers collect their finished jobs?
>>1079668
Make them sign an agreement before they leave their car?
>>1079695
We've already established the storage cost, though we're not enforcing it. And on the invoices that the customer sighs usually has something like that on it.
>>1079668
can I ask some serious questions that will seem racist?
are they black?
were they thrown in jail?
Does anyone believe the market is not going to crash within the next year or two?
If so, could you explain your logic and reasoning.
>>1079525
Nobody knows what the market will be doing at any time. If they tell you otherwise, they lie.
>>1079525
It won't crash because the amount of work OP is putting in sucking dicks will keep the economy afloat.
Must be a passion.

Why wouldn't I want to see Martin Shkreli arrested and put out of business? Doesn't it help me?
He forces insurance companies to pay a ton for his drugs. In response, insurance companies have to charge higher premiums. I have insurance. His pricing strategy benefits himself, but it harms me because I have to pay more to my insurance company.
So why wouldn't I want to see him get fucked? It's in my financial benefit just like it's in his financial benefit to charge higher prices.
Shkreli simply did what pretty much any /biz/raeli would do given the opportunity. He's the based god of the Internet.
I am not american so I might be wrong but afaik you don't have drug prize regulation policy, I know this does not excuse Shkreli but what he done in a second (rise) is just what could be expected to be done by everyone more slowly but at the end of the day cost you even more.

45% of /biz/ are college and high school students entirely dependant financially on Mom & Dad
40% of /biz/ are penniless NEETs, Russians, Aussies, or other Third-Worlders who like to role-play Wolf of Wall Street.
4.9% of /biz/ are work-class normies with a few thousand dollars in a 401k or IRA and 30 years before anything matters financially
0.1% of /biz/ have professional jobs with meaningful salaries and significant investments, relatively speaking.

>s&p 500 actually free fell today
Not sure what you're talking about.
>>1078913
Yet we still have less jobs now than in the year 2000. Plus an additional 25 million or so added to the population.
Not a perma-bear ... just a bear.

Should I buy this? Will it make me rich and my kids richer?
>>1077812
Yes, I bought it and I'm a billionaire.
>>1077812
yes. Don't know if it will make you rich but you'll learn more in the amount of time it takes to read it than you'll learn in the same amount of time spent hanging out on a Nepalese Elephantcoin website

Should have taken the janitor job and worked your way up, albeit very slowly.

Big four doesnt pay that much, fuck off. I know because im an intern.
Hey /biz/, how would you get rich if you wuz living in the Philippines like me?
Suck tourist dick for bananas.
Get really good at programming and go freelance. Even if you're charging a rate that would be cheap for westerners ($10/hr) that seems like it would be like living like a king for the Philippines.
>BBL just got trashed
>Muslim rebels ready to start shit, MILF mad
The answer is obvious anon be an arms dealer, a merchant of death
