Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are Spying on You – Here is the Proof!

Just the other day I received an email from Google Maps with the subject “Google Maps Timeline.” Upon clicking the email what I found left my jaw drop…quite literally! My “March in Review” apparently, was every place I had ever visited, every day of the week. It also highlighted my most frequently visited locations, the number of miles I walked, drove and unique places I visited. The only thing that was missing was perhaps the number of calories I burnt! Speaking of calories, they knew how much I walked and had all the data from my smartwatch. They knew how long I was sleeping, My REM cycle and how many times a year I fell ill. If anything, this information was a treasure trove for someone like my ex. Plus, my email is not hard to get a hold of considering that it’s logged in on my phone...

Here is the Easiest Way to Hire Freelancers

We had first heard about InstaTaskers from an entrepreneur friend who was going gaga about it. This friend had recently started up and was constantly plagued by the absence of quality service providers. She could not have hired full time for every skill. Full-time hiring has its own overheads that are impractical to be borne by startups. Also, she did not have sufficient work for employing full-time for every skill needed. When she told me about her easy-breezy experience of hiring freelancers through InstaTaskers, I assumed that it would be one of the many rip-offs of the US startups. But the deluge of appreciation was just not ending. I heard about them from another colleague and then another friend. So, when I needed to urgently hire a freelance finance writer for a friend, I decided...

Know What is a ‘Ponzi Scheme’ and Who was the Man behind it?

In a recent interview, the World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim compared Bitcoins to a "Ponzi Scheme" that once again triggered questions on the legitimacy of the world's most popular cryptocurrency. “In terms of using Bitcoin or some of the cryptocurrencies, we are also looking at it, but I’m told the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are basically Ponzi schemes. It's still not really clear how it's going to work,” he said in an interview. The cryptocurrency, that has been soaring since 2017, has seen not so great start in this year and had reduced to one-third of its peak value nearly in just two months. The World Bank is looking closely at the blockchain technology and hopes that it could be used by developing countries to "follow the money more effectively" and regulate co...

Meaningful Exit Strategy for Startup Founders and Investors

The startup industry is not doing it for the money, but money is one of the most talked about thing in the startup world. Money flows in the system at a greater pace and in considerable numbers. The scenario is pretty much clear for VCs, how they plan on making money by funding the startup at a nascent stage. For the founders, who are starting up or have already started up, its important for them to know how can they get most out from their startups. The optimal financial strategy for founders is to start bootstrap, raise seed funding, grow their venture and take exit. But at what stage should a founder plan his/her exit from the startup for better personal financial returns, is something we're often confused at! A lay man would say bigger the number, better the returns, well actu...

This New Year, Lose All Negative Thoughts About Your Body

Is shedding weight on your list of New Year resolutions? Scientists suggest that losing the critical thoughts and negative perceptions about your body may be a better idea. Every year, many of us pledge to work harder at being healthy, losing weight or eating more veggies.

"Consider what is really going to make you happier and healthier in 2018: losing 10 pounds or losing harmful attitudes about your body?" said Pamela Keel, Professor at FSU. Body dissatisfaction is a pervasive problem, especially among young women.

Why Is Foosball Table Killing Your Startup?

Start-ups are well known in the world however, if you want to generalize, what are they precisely? We can describe them as small organizations which have just starting their journey. Most of them don't have their own particular investment, however they are financed by a people who have. Due to that, we can often see a start-up without a genuine item, which means it is only beginning to develop. The main issue with start-ups is that they need to start from the scratch. They have made a study, they have tried the market and they trust that their product or service has its place under the sun. The only word we have to focus in the last sentence is "trust”. It is the most important feeling in every person connected to the start-up. Looking for the best people for the job At the ...
