Continuance - Rechargeable Battery with USB Interface by Haimo Bao, Hailong Piao, Yuancheng Liu & Xiameng Hu The Power Play Continues This is so simple. Continuance is a set of batteries with a USB interface on the side. The batteries are rechargeable plus dole out some juice to stranded gadgets that are starved of power. Handy, compact and a totally do-able concept! Designers: Haimo Bao, Hailong Piao, Yuancheng Liu & Xiameng Hu Sequences A sequence is a series of multiple posts on Less Wrong on the same topic, to coherently and fully explore a particular thesis. Reading the sequences is the most systematic way to approach the Less Wrong archives. If you'd like an abridged index of the sequences, try XiXiDu's guide, or Academian's guide targeted at people who already have a science background. Benito's Guide aims to systematically fill the reader in on the most important ideas discussed on LessWrong (not just in the sequences). If you prefer books over blog posts, Thinking and Deciding by Jonathan Baron and Good and Real by Gary Drescher have been mentioned as books that overlap significantly with the sequences. eReader Formats The Sequences have been converted to eReader compatible formats by several projects. Print ready versions by jb55 (GitHub). Audio Castify makes certain content of Less Wrong available as a podcast for a small fee (it's recorded by a professional voice actor).

Infographic of the Day: Is College Really Worth It? Is going to college really worth it? Probably so, but it's not that clear cut, and economics have been arguing the point for 30 years. Most studies tend to show that college-educated people end up making far more money in the course of their lifetimes. (The niggle: Usually, it's not worth paying for a private university.) Still, that evidence isn't totally cut and dry: What do you really learn in college? This graph makes a couple points in that debate: 1. But who in their right mind wouldn't recommend a college degree? If I had a guess, I think it's precisely that attitude that creates all the economic advantages--its the way our society is organized, rather than anything about college itself.

Case Study: How an SEO Site Audit Made Our Traffic Increase As an agency that practices inbound marketing, we believe that the right and relevant content will thrive our organic traffic. However, after months of staying at a constant rate of website visitors, we decided it was time to have a site audit. An SEO site audit, in the simplest terms, is when you use an online tool or an SEO expert, to examine your website content and structure in its entirety. A typical audit includes optimization of title tags and descriptions, URL structure, unique and searchable content, internal linking structure, alt image tags, broken links, external links, Google authorship, etc. Our Problem: Creating great and informative content has not been a current issue when it comes to writing copy for landing pages, blog posts, cornerstone content, etc. Duplicate content was also an issue, and older blogs from 2013 were suffering from outdated content, old expired outbound links, and excessive internal links. Our Solution: Actions We Implemented: The Results: July 2015

10 Things You Can Do Today to Start a Lifestyle Business (Even if you have no ideas) EmailShare 370EmailShare In 2008, I had a pretty good idea that my day job wasn’t going to be a long term solution for me. However, it wouldn’t be for another 18 months that I’d actually leave my job. During most of those 18 months I stayed stagnant, and made no progress to the goals I’d really set for myself – namely traveling the world, and building a business. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but it was mostly because I didn’t know where to start. In 2009 things started coming together a little bit more, but it really only took about 5 months from the time that I started actually taking action to the time I parted ways from my job. I’ve found though, that once you start moving, it’s a hard train to get off. Your Excuses are Legit All the time I hear from people who want to start building a business for themselves but simply don’t know where to start. And you know what? The good news is, it doesn’t take as much drastic action as you think it does to start building a lifestyle business.

So you want to be a consultant...? Or: Why work 8 hours/day for someone else when you can work 16 hours/day for yourself? I've been a consultant of one form or another since 1985 when I started my old company, V-Systems, with a friend from college, and actually did bits and pieces of consulting as early as 1982. I have been asked often about the business, and I decided to write this up. Please note that I am providing observations from my own personal experience, but I am not providing tax or legal advice. You need to pay somebody for that, and I'm not qualified. Furthermore, I am not even attempting to make this a comprehensive guide for everything required by one in or contemplating the consulting business. These sections (except the last) aren't in any particular order. There are many ways of structuring a self-employed practice, and I'll touch on two that are at different ends of the spectrum.
