I know. Why anyone would choose to make a few thousand a month using someone ELSE'S infrastructure, rather than be a 400.64B company is completely beyond me.

I know. Why anyone would choose to make a few thousand a month using someone ELSE'S infrastructure, rather than be a 400.64B company is completely beyond me. I coded this up so you can see it in black and white: http://codepad.org/7t5RvxUg http://codepad.org/7t5RvxUg
How anyone can get such incredibly simple math wrong boggles my mind.
- ska 10y agoThank you for such a clear example of the logical fallacy known as "false dichotomy". Now I'll have a link to demonstrate the issue when needed!
- logicallee 10y agoMy real point is that there's nothing wrong with sharecropping; because you still have your past revenues, until the point the landowner pulls the rug. The implication of GP, that you somehow shouldn't have chosen sharecropping until that point, is totally wrong for the majority of the people who make that choice. (For another example see app developers on Apple's App Store. Nothing wrong with their choice.) The GP post made it super explicit: "Don't be a sharecropper". Well, why not? This news doesn't mean it wasn't their best choice.
- ska 10y agoYou would have been better off making that point, then. Creating a false dichotomy didn't help you, it's even sillier that original implication that you should never do this. The real maxim is something like "be very careful when your business model is (some better word than sharecropping) - because it can be disabled at any point"
