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

Naughty Stories Night

Image
Perhaps the best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. — Dean Acheson. Hi guys, this is one personal journal/memo for me a SOL (Slice Of Life). So to start one evening on clear night sky, my girlfriend who was currently staying on province said she’s on the mood. At the time, where far from each others place and we only message each other through couple’s app. She asked if I could give her a naughty story of what I would do to her when we see each other (that’ll be happening in 2 days time). I imagined doing her in multiple places and events. After that, I tried to jack off while creating a surreal story of what I would do to her. Piece by piece sending her the story through the app, she read it and guess what she fell asleep. LOL (Laugh Out Loud) and I don’t know if the story was kinda bit boring though. Anyways, imagining her makes me feel horny again. I’ll just call it a day.

How to Have a Good Conversation

Image
Everything about Mark Zuckerberg is pure hacker. Hackers don't take realities of the world for granted; they seek to break and rebuild what they don't like. They seek to outsmart the world. — Sarah Lacy. Hi guys, sometimes I need to talk to someone about some things and sometimes the conversation and rapport part doesn’t work out. Here are the things I’ve learned on how to have a good conversation to anyone. Don’t multitask. Be present. If you’re the one talking, would you be happy if the listener is doing many things and like don’t care? So be present and active. Don’t pontificate (meaning - express one’s opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic.). Don’t just butt in when someone is speaking with their mind. Its considered rude to just cut someone who is talking, I think its same for every culture. Use open-ended question. Go with questions that will create discussion not just question with a single word could answer. Go with

Turning Off Completely macOS Mojave Bluetooth

Image
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. — Walt Disney. Hi guys, recently as you may have notice from my post. I’ve tried to build a hackintosh 1 but my WiFi and BT (Bluetooth) card are not compatible or does not have compatible Kexts (stands for kernel extensions which is a driver module for macOS). As the BT card installed in my laptop still consumes power, I did become curious on how to disable it. I have tried many ways that are not destructive which corresponds to software config modification. There are success in destructive way according to some forum but I don’t like those (e.g. like soldering certain part of the half-mini PCI-E or PCI Express board and or removing completely the PCI-E board) . I’ll try to explain what works for me in disabling the BT without touching the internals of the laptop. First and foremost, you need to disable the power state of the BT driver.

If you give a hacker a new toy, the first thing he'll do is take it apart to figure out how it works. — Jamie Zawinski. Hi guys, this are my top three good DNS (Domain Name System) providers that are really fast, secure and reliable that can be use in Southeast Asia. Cloudflare Cloudflare Public DNS (IPv4) 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 Cloudflare Public DNS (IPv6) 2606:4700:4700::1111 2606:4700:4700::1001 So why Cloudflare 1 ? Choose Cloudflare if you want less than <1ms of domain name resolution. Seriously, they have the fastest name resolution on the internet. Google Google Public DNS (IPv4) 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 Google Public DNS (IPv6) 2001:4860:4860::8888 2001:4860:4860::8844 So why Google 2 ?

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. And I’ve been dumbfounded by some tutorial on how they implemented the email service functionality. Some are over complicated while others were over simplified. So here I am creating yet another tutorial for sending email using MailKit and .NET Core . Let’s jump in! Prerequisites First of all, you must have a . NET Core 3.1 SDK (Software Development Kit) installed in your computer and also I assumed you are currently running Windows 10 or some Linux with proper environment set. And MailKit on which this package becomes a de-facto standard in sending emails as its being preferred and recommended by Mi

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
