How did Notch capture lightning in a bottle with Minecraft? How can a game reach Minecraft's success?
>>1235640
it's just one of those things that happens by luck
you might as well be asking how to make the next hugely successful social media platform
just make a game or website that works right and fuckin roll the dice
It all happened at the right time and right place. You just need to figure out where the industry is going and beat everyone to it.

he stole the idea from another game (Inifiniminer by zach barth), fleshed it out and made slightly better graphics, and then shilled it during development on /v/.
Essentially he just got a lucky break that it became so popular.
Are any of you fags actually rich or are you all just talking out of your asses?
>>1235521
This board is largely comprised of NEETS, teenagers still in highschool, a few neckbeards in college, and a handful of people who understand /biz/ and/or finance.
The answer is then mostly No.
What do you consider rich?
>>1235521
No, 50% of this board is unemployed.
Soup /biz/.
So I discovered the cure for a disease. I want to sell it for a price and a royalty amount. How do I go about doing this and who do I talk to? I've only gotten 3 interested bidders with limited capital the way I've been doing this.
You probably won't have a chance on getting "royalty" pay without working longterm with pharm. companies to manufacture the cure
>>1235418
If you sell it you will have very little say in the product they will sell it at what they like and you have to have contract if you wants these royalty. They usually buy it from you and name it their IP. What country? Sell with the big ones not the small ones
You're going to get whacked son.
Is economics a viable degree? I mainly want a degree that can get me access to lended to capital so I can buy a business or to build some apartments.
I'm also not sure where I want to go to school. I did a year and a half at community college, but that was just because I wasn't sure what I wanted to study.
I got a 29 on my ACT so I can get into most decent schools. Right now looking at Michigan State, because I'm from the south and I'd like a change of scenery, and I think it's a decent school and I could fit in well up there.
>>1235374
It's a viable degree, but to get anywhere with it you're going to need to show initiative.
It's not always a natural fit for finance, so if you're looking to go that route consider the more traditional finance and accounting degrees.
If you just want a job so you can save toward starting your own business, economics is fine.
What do you want your degree to do for you?
>>1235379
My end goal in life is to own an apartment complex with hopefully 50-200 units, which would require from my loose calculations anywhere from 2-20 million dollars invested. I basically want a degree that I can show to investors that says "this guy isn't a retard and can be trusted with large sums of money".
I know I'd hate accounting, but I love business and entrepreneurship. I'd like a consulting job as a stepping stone to owning my own business/real estate.

I know a guy who did an econ degree and is now working as a business analyst, so I'd say it's definitely viable. I don't know how old you are but getting work while you're studying is definitely a plus as well.
Any good book recommendations about finance, economics, managment or so ?
>>1235371
what exactly are you interested in?
>>1236066
the concepts and principles to economics, administration... i'm a beginner
>>1236184
Okay, start with macroeconomics. It teaches how economy works in a country and relationship between other countries. You could also check microeconomics a bit, but it's more mathematically oriented and might be boring for you.
Anyway, people recommend Macroeconomics by Mankiw, whichever edition you can get your hands on, but obviously the latest edition is the best. Personally, I had Samuelson & Nordhaus Macroeconomics and it explained things in a very simple way.
Then you might want to get into...

How exactly does one get away with not getting all of your tips taxed while being a server? I am getting a server job, and will be making 2.25 an hour plus tips. I figure I will make some decent tips because it is a nice joint, O'charleys. But I have never done anything for tips before, is there anything I need to know before hand? I know I have to tell someone how much i make right? Or how does this all work
>>1235174
Half of the tip is the 'personal tip' for your professionalism, this you pocket right away. But yes, the rest you MUST declare or it's illegal.
In the US anyway.
>>1235196
Can you give an example of this? So if I make 20 dollars in tips for the day, then 10 of it I have to declare and the other 10 I can just pocket? So I would say, "I got 10 dollars tip throughout the day"?
>>1235203
He's telling you to lie. You know, like every server ever.
How do I make do if I hate the city that I work/live in?
I can't stand New York City (Bad weather, bad commute, bad people), but I'm stuck here for a little while longer until I can save up enough money to move to a smaller city in a red state. How do I keep getting out of bed every morning without wanting to throw myself in front of a taxi?
do what the Syrian refugees who get murdered and raped and tortured every day who can't leave immediately.
Focus on leaving and how much better things will be when you get out. That's literally it.
>>1235098
grass is always more dank on the other side.
Dont be a bitch and adapt, if you can't, PREPARE to go away. Life is a long continued battle that we all already lost, at least have the decency to fight.
>>1235098
You just don't have good friends and/or a nice girlfriend.
The downside of NYC is the weather.
I live in Rome, I felt the same. I traveled almost in any major European city. I still felt sad.
Recently I started my own company and money give me a boost. Maybe, it could end badly if I didn't succeeded. Also, I lost a lot of weight due to the stress during the company opening and I started dating a girl (I've been to the US, it's so easy to get laid there!), she probably stays with me only...

About to try to get a FHA loan for a 32k house I'm going to try and flip. Any tips?
>>1234819
tip of this dick
>>1234819
Work in RE for a year or two before trying your first flip.
For flips, get a house in a good neighborhood, but the house is cheap because it needs overhauling. Dont get the expensive house in the neighborhood and attempt to flip it for more.
What does /biz/ think of Dragon's Den/Shark Tank?

Was it worth it? If you could go back to before you went, what would you do?
>>1234574
>eurofag
>great education
>free education
>profit
If I could go back i'll go into A.I and not economics. Shit's the future
>>1234574
no i fucked up i took student loans and didn't finish i still haven't fully repay the loans and they cut into my investment profitability.
>>1234574
>Was it worth it? If you could go back to before you went, what would you do?
Absolutely not worth it, considering I am now self employed. The only worth is the piece of paper if you absolutely need it for employment, or you are the kind of person who cannot motivate themselves to learn by themselves.
If you intend to work for yourself, and have motivation, it's a complete waste of money.
What does /biz/ think of public choice theory? Are government's really more inefficient than the market?
At keeping people from bashing each other's heads in, yes. At making them toothpastes and distributing it, no.
Of course they are. Governements can never reach the same efficiency as money-hungry people
You wouldn't believe the waste and sloth in public sector work.
In private sector work it's your ass on the line, in the public sector it's "best effort"
Any engineers making 6 figures or more?
If so, what industry are you in.

Can someone tell my how kids can afford to go to private universities like NYU, Columbia, etc...? I'm from Canada and shelling $50-60k tuition per year is a lot. Or only rich familes attend private universities?
>>1234348
Elite universities will pay for students who cant afford it if theyre smart enough to get in.
Donations and tuition from the parents of dumb rich kids pay for scholarships for smart poor kids.
It's a pretty good system desu.
>>1234348
Those schools give out grants. They are the most generous when it comes to financial aid
