    The list of cookies is so long that one might read 5 articles before reading the entire thing written in small print. Good luck if English is your second language.

    A lot of those "net worth" numbers don't translate to cold, hard cash either.

    The problem is that the process is opaque so you aren't even given a hint as to why the site is blacklisted. Security filters, fine, but at least tell the developers what the viola…

    I think you miss the point of the four hour work week. The spirit of the book is delegation of things you don't want to do. Tim writes in the book that before an 80/20 analysis you…
