It just shows how bad of a person she is. She is having kids because _she_ wants to have them, even though she knows it will hard for them growing up. Putting herself before her ki…

The fun and, the status and the power come from controlling wealth to build or do things. As soon as you limit control, it stops being fun and they stop generating value. If you th…

As an ex-smoker I think the same and that's what actually made it harder to quit for me. Smoking forces you to find open air spaces, is relaxing and induces slow breathing. In some…

Same here. Rushed to the hospital after two nights of not sleeping from the back pain and chills at end of Feb. First time I've ever taken an injection for pain relief.

Number of hours worked is not equal to production or richness of a society. Productivity equals production. A small team of engineers who design and create a machine to build brick…

Unfortunately (I am South American) I think you are wrong. Some of the most prolific serial killers have been South Smerican, but serial killers are not such a popular topic on the…

Honestly I don’t think he cares/understands that much, but he’s pretty excited about the coworking trend in general and thinks it’s not going away.

I know one landlord who rented several buildings to them and he understands the risks perfectly, but says the price per sq/ft he's getting paid is so good that even if they blow up…

To some extent wealth and the comfort you can buy with it does reduce dependence on others and can help someone become isolated, since you don’t need help or favors and don’t need …

My mom has done it with my help. From what I've seen, it's a bit more profitable than renting out directly, but also very time consuming (especially cleaning and housekeeping). If …

We like the idea of technology improving our quality of life because as a civilization it's worked for us spectacularly so far. Driverless cars are appealing because they build on …

I sell SAAS to banks. Here are some tips for selling to large CO's I've picked up in the process: 1. Get your foot in the door with a small deal. Try and close a small deal, sell t…

Which do you recommend? I work with custom solutions for banks which a lot of times include fraud prevention services from third parties, so I'm consistently benchmarking for bette…

Metro Manila also felt very much like that when I was there (except for the crime). I wanted to leave almost as soon as I landed. He probably got some inspiration from his country'…

I started suffering from exercise induced asthma last year. It sucks, but I've found that with good nutrition, using the correct medications and trying to stay in a clean air envir…

Well, to be fair, leveraged buyouts can be a useful tool to take over a company when there is a bad management team or an opportunity to generate a synergy when it is bought by ano…

It’s a big country, so it really depends a lot on which city you live in and and what you consider a normal house. It ranges from $20,000 USD for a rural house near a small town to…

Since a couple years back, we have a 1% tax on wealth in Colombia, which applies to anyone who has above approx. 330,000 USD in assets I don't think it has disincentivated anybody …

What I would see as problematic is that picking and choosing parts of globalization would probably involve limiting the development of technology, commerce, and in some cases limit…

Completely agree. As someone who lives in a developing country, it always seems funny to me how there is frequently a distorted view in developed countries of how globalization sho…

Hmm, your comment is actually kind of funny because the cool looking Ruta N building he mentions, in which the conference has held, is located right in the center of a slum, where …

There are 2 parts to it. Firstly, the guerrillas and narcos were heavily combated, thanks in part to Plan Colombia which was a collaboration with the US government to fight the cri…

I agree with you, I'm Colombian and I think that the "No dar papaya"saying and mindset is terrible on so many levels. That mindset incentivizes distrust, cheating and exploitation …
