There can certainly be value if you think that teaching others what you know is more valuable to you than making a (larger) profit. Altruism is a thing. Another way to give it away…

A standard self-published e-book model, which sort of combines many of the options you mention above, is along these lines. First, put the e-book up on Gumroad and/or Amazon or the…

This. It's sort of like the "The Apple Watch is a failure!" articles when the Apple Watch has outsold every other smartwatch combined. Sometimes it kind of feels like the dinosaur …

There is no such thing as an unbiased scientist. They are human, after all. Whenever you read about scientists reporting on X or discovering Y, you should absolutely consider their…

My thoughts exactly. If someone were to phonily offer Hawking a cartoonish sack of money to write a report about black holes, should we be shocked when he shows interest in the off…

Nakamoto has made a huge splash in the world of finance, at least in certain circles. That he remains anonymous even after doing so adds quite an air of mystery. Is it really any w…

I'm a big DDG fan too. I don't really notice their results being "worse" than Google's (but maybe that's just because I haven't used Google for so long). The Bang feature is also v…
