I think you do need to assess what your product is worth, simply because you don't know how many customers you'll get at each price point and if you experiment thoroughly it'll take time and may ruin your market. On the other

My impression is that starvation is already an unlikely occurrence in western countries.

It would be great. However, it would also obligate us to solve the problem of resource distribution that is currently being solved by the system of working a job for money, then exchanging that money for goods and services.

If the target demographic for a startup is women, why is it sexist to talk the idea over with your wife?

To me it seems deeply shameful and embarrassing that these people can't think of a better use for their money. You could spend your fortune building something, starting a business, patronizing public works or artistic projects, funding

Not that I'm aware of, although I've never looked. I was trying to respond to the question of what could indicate systemic sexual harassment problems.

If you can't gather the data, I'd suggest you shouldn't assert the conclusion. In this instance, is Uber a systemically bad company for sexual harassment? I haven't seen the data to suggest so. One woman reporting sexual

Good evidence might be that sexual harassment is happening more frequently at uber, that uber is missing processes to deter or detect sexual harassment, or that employees feel subject to harassment moreso than at other companies. The metric

That seems like a great compromise. Pay a ten million dollar fee to extend your copyright by ten years. Most material becomes public domain, some exceptionally valuable properties remain privately held and generate value for the holder. Plu

While I take your comment with the levity with which it was intended, and I agree with you that the advice is wholesome or idealistic, I disagree with the implication that my advice was anything very hard to do. You write "It's pr

I can't help but see this as an opportunity. In a way, the store is providing for you an environment to reliably reproduce bad behavior in your child. You could establish some reward (choosing a movie to watch, game to play, a sweet sn

I feel every seat should have a switch to allow passengers to vote. A majority vote should either open the pilot's door, or put an emergency autopilot in charge which will try to land at the nearest airport.

I disagree. You might want to experience a change of pace. You might be interested in what "highbrow" is. You might like to challenge yourself. To be a snob, I believe you'd have to look down on other people for their preferr

If you interpret "property is violence" to mean that property is maintained by organizations willing to use violence - I.e. That something is "my property" because I can appeal to a police system who will help me defend,

I haven't seen opinion polls, but I doubt that's a widely held view. Why should people conform to your unusual position on property, as opposed to the mainstream one? Personally, I quite like owning things that are mine. The cost,

I'm curious - do you know how Amazon gets more than 0.2 cents per person minute of value from your app, or apps in general? If they don't, I can't see them sustaining this business model forever.

This seems solvable. As a rider, you have the option to select "This car is too dirty to ride" or "This car needs cleaning." If you indicate it is too dirty to ride, the car reports for cleaning. If the cleaners agree
