Top 5 FinTech Pitch Decks That Pulled Millions

Image
Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas. — Paul Samuelson. Hey guys, recently I’ve been dabbling on a pitch deck creation. To create a better pitch deck that will captivate investors and clients alike. Upon reading multiple pitch decks that have been submitted to YCombinator 1 , I’ve concluded that there is a certain pitch deck structure and characteristics needed. For me, I think a pitch deck must contain only the core of what you’re trying to do or achieve. I mean, just keep it short and simple which even a 5 year old could understand. Don’t put any jargon and highlight the important parts like graphs and figures. Anyways, let’s dive on some pitch decks used and created by well known companies in this day and age. Coinbase If you’ve been in the crypto space for a while, I know for sure you’ve heard the name Coinbase. Its one of the top cryptocurrency exchange that is base

Creating Bootable ISO from macOS Installer

Image
If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter. — George Washington. Hi guys, I’ve been in a situation on where I want to create a separate portable macOS Mojave 1 installer but I don’t know how. I’ve compiled this steps which I gathered from multiple sources to create a boot-able macOS installer. This article will assume you are running on macOS system. First and foremost, we download the macOS installer that we want to use from the Apple App Store. I pick the latest one (at this time of writing) which is Mojave. After that export an environment variable to hold the output ISO filename that we will be consuming. export ISO_PATH = "mac_installer.iso" Then we create a blank dmg volume using the command hdiutil 2 . This command will create a HFS+J filesystem table to store the installer data with the capacity of 6GB. hdiutil create -o " $ISO_PATH .cdr" -size 6g -layout SPUD -fs HFS+J`

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. — E. James Rohn. Hi guys, after deploying your application to production or staging server, have you ever wondered on how you can import your seed data. This post is specifically targeted to elixir web apps only. Assuming you haven’t already started the migration process and migrated all the tables. Go to the built edeliver release folder and run ./bin/my_app_name remote_console to access iex console for this web OTP (Open Telecom Platform) app. When you’re inside the iex console, enter this command: :code.priv_dir ( :my_app_name ) | > Path.join ( "repo/seeds.exs" ) | > Code.require_file ( ) The command above will be evaluated by the console interpreter and run the seeds file. This would access the file from priv directory and execute seeds.exs . After that, check your database if all the migrations has been executed. That’s

Fixing GTK Dark Themes on Firefox

Image
The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel. — Horace Walpole. Hi guys, if your using Linux and run Firefox 1 . One thing you will notice on Firefox when on a dark themed GTK 2 based environment in Linux is the HTML content would adapt to the theme color. And for some reason I don’t know why Firefox still doesn’t fix this stuff. Here is the link related to the issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1527048 UPDATE: Seems this problem has been fixed in Version 67 of Firefox. Here is the workaround for it: Open about:config inside Firefox. You should type this in the URL bar. Right click on the content and click New > String with key widget.content.gtk-theme-override and value Arc-Darker . Restart Firefox. The steps above would set Firefox content to adapt to white based theme while retaining chroma theme dark. You could also use Adwaita as value. So guys, have you ever encountered this bug specifically in Gnome 3 while us

You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. — Thomas Merton. Hey guys, recently I’ve been working on an ASP.NET Core project that needed email services to send reports.

Disable mDNS and SSDP Discovery in Google Chrome

Image
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. — Orson Welles. Hi guys, if you ever check your task manager you’ll notice chrome is listening to port 5353 on Linux. Did you know you could stop it? as what this sub-process is specifically doing – listening and doing some device probing like an auto discovery which is similar to avahi . In order to disable this Chrome functionality you need to first create a directory and policy file. You could do this by executing the command below. sudo mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/ sudo touch /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/block_mdns_ssdp.json What this does is first create a directory inside the /etc/opt/chrome which will be used to store manage policies and create the initial policy file that we would be editing. Then we edit the block_mdns_ssdp.json file that we created earlier and then we put the contents
