Apple introduces their newest product to help you avoid paying taxes; The iRS.

In reality, I’d be down for 100% of the corporations paying 0% tax. I’m just not a fan of the government cherry picking who gets to pay taxes and who gets to avoid taxes.

Learn Anything in 20 Hours with This Four Step Method

With just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice, you can go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. That’s the message from Josh Kaufman, author of The First 20 Hours. In the video above, he reveals the four steps to learning any new skill, fast.

It’s a long, 20-minute TEDx Talk, but entertaining and enlightening too.
The four steps in Kaufman’s method are:

Deconstruct the skill: Break down the parts and find the most important things to practice first. If you were learning to play a musical instrument, for example, knowing just a few chords gives you access to tons of songs. If you want to learn a new language, learn the most common 2,000 words and you’ll have 80% text coverage.
Self-correct: Use reference materials to learn enough that you know when you make a mistake so you can correct yourself.
Remove barriers to learning: Identify and remove anything that distracts you from focusing on the skill you want to learn.
Practice at least 20 hours.
20 hours amounts to just 40 minutes a day for a month, so what are you waiting for?

I think that both Kaufman and Gladwell are correct.

You can learn how to be comfortable with a subject in about 20 hours. I work with different businesses all the time and it takes me about 2 to 5 days to be comfortable with what they do, how they do it and for me to slide in and work within their company.

However, it takes a lot longer to master something. I think that’s the point that Kaufman misses. Gladwell’s book doesn’t hinge around the idea that it takes 10,000 hours to learn something, he says that it takes about 10,000 hours to master something.

What’s the difference? The difference is someone who can play the piano and Mozart. The difference is someone who can play basketball competitively and Michael Jordan.

Outliers also focuses in on the idea that we are all a product of our surrounds and our time. If Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were born in 1905 or 1995, there’s no way they’d be as successful in the computer world as they are today due to the fact that they were born in the 1950’s. Why is that? It just so happens that right when Jobs and Gates were entering an age where they are developed enough to learn computer programming and also old enough to turn that skill into a business, computer programming was beginning to take over. They just happened to be lucky enough to be born during a time when they could master it right as it became an important trade at which point, there they were, ready to lead the industry.

While I can easily adapt and even fluidly function in any company with just a few days training, it would take me much longer to master that business or industry to the point that I can become one who can become a leader.

I think the difference comes down to this; one knows how to work with something while the other knows how something works. To me, you haven’t mastered something until you understand it from a fundamental angle.

Obama Interrupted over murder of Innocent Americans

Good for her, standing up to this sociopath, and shame on all those people who applaud this populist nightmare of a human.

He has no legal or moral ground to stand on. A 16-year-old American was killed with no trial, no nothing, and he has the gall to defend it and say that this woman wasn’t listening to what he was saying.

The man’s words don’t warrant any actual listening, because they don’t match up with his intent or his actions.

This video is all sorts of disgusting.

Obama busts a joke to segue into talking about how he assassinated a 16-year old American citizen.

More disgusting than that is how the press explodes into laughter and applause.

More disgusting than that is when Obama says that, “the voice of that woman is worth paying attention to” and very few people applaud.

And to cap of the cessfest, Obama says that he doesn’t agree with the idea that signature drone strikes are wrong, that they cause blowback or that killing US citizens, including a 16 year old boy, without trail is wrong. And not a single member of the press questions it.

We are doomed and we’re digging our own grave.

4 AMERICAN CITIZENS KILLED BY OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!
NO TRIAL, NO JUDICIAL PROCESS,NO DUE PROCESS
BTW THE 3 OUT OF THE 4 WERE ACCIDENTS~

—The Obama administration Wednesday for the first time acknowledged killing four U.S. citizens in “counterterrorism operations” abroad.

The deaths of three of the Americans — Anwar al-Awlaki, his 16-year-old son Abd al-Rahman Anwar al-Awlaki, and Samir Khan, all of whom were killed in drone strikes in Yemen in 2011 — had been previously reported. The death of the fourth, Jude Kennan Mohammad, a Florida native apparently killed in Pakistan, had not been.

The Biggest Obama Scandals Are Proven and Ignored

There is clear evidence that he has broken the law on multiple occasions. And not even Republicans seem to care.

Actually a large part of congress sub-committees are busy investigating all of the different allegations. I’m sure if the GOP can, they will stop at nothing to draw up articles of impeachment.

I just doubt that any substantial link can be made because typically, and especially with Obama, presidents keep thing compartmentalized and let their Czars do a lot of the communication just so they can claim ignorance of things that they themselves seeded.

No time to write about the ridiculous economics of this (or how bottled water is literally printing money on stolen paper) so I’ll just utilize the super effective powers of visual memes.

Quick story time: My uncle used to make fun of people that would come to his gas station only to complain about gas being $2.50 a gallon and then would go inside and pay $2 for a tiny bottle of Fiji… He’d say these idiots think that oil comes up out of the ground and makes it into their sports cars for free…
