Readit NewsThere's a ton of (replicated) psychology research that supports this thesis: the early hours of skill acquisition are very effective/efficient in terms of improvement-per-hour-invested. 20-50 hours is enough to see very substantial improvements in any skill, even if you have no prior knowledge or experience.
I wish more people focused on the early process of skill acquisition: that's what most of us will experience for most of our lives/careers.
Learning and practicing skills in many different areas is underrated: if you think of skills from an ROI perspective, spending a little time to get a lot better at a portfolio of useful things has a crazy high return.
1. Do you hedge on REITs/ETFs with a local presence in the areas your properties are located in? If so, is there any liquidation risk of the REIT/ETF in the event of a major downturn that could force an early exit from your hedge position and leave you exposed to further decline? Also, how would you handle rebalancing/constructing new hedges when you add investment properties in a new area?
2. If you hedge on broader diversified REITs/ETFs, is it a plausible concern that your investment properties can be hit by a localized recession that leaves other parts of the broader real estate market unaffected, thus leaving your hedge unable to recoup the losses?
But I don't know of any companies that were killed by technical debt.
So I built Trennd. Under the hood it continually monitors the web for interesting keywords & topics, classifies them using Google Trends data and packages everything as a neat web app where other people can contribute too.
The app itself is built with the Next.js React framework along with Express, Bootstrap and MongoDB. Next.js was new to me, but made sense since it comes with so much out of the box, including server side rendering.
Let me know if you have any questions, and any feedback is much appreciated!
I was completely blown away by the infinity x infinity possibilities. Totally overwhelming! This tutorial is great for helping me understand the concepts, very fortuitous.
Now if I could actually sit down and make a song instead of just tweaking knobs on controllers...
However, this is only half the picture.
If you install truecaller on Android, you're handing over ALL your personal information to them. The list of permissions they ask for is ridiculous. They ask for access to your sms messages, call log, contacts, file system, location, microphone, camera, everything. They also show you advertisements wherever possible.
If I was the OP, my reaction would be shock and horror too. But then I'd realize the old axiom of imitation is the best form of flattery.
Additionally, it seems to me that a lot of more recent interface designs seem to converge in the overall UX. Perhaps it's a result of standards like Material Design/Apple Guidelines and frameworks like Bootstrap and Semantic UI being published, but whatever the reason I think it has the benefit of reducing the learning curve for new products and making them easier to navigate. Even though this study concluded only 4 years ago in 2015, tech trends move fast and I personally think its measure of users' computer skills may be a bit dated in the context of today's tech landscape. This could just as well be my perspective from inside the bubble though, so here's your grain of salt with all of the above
