You mustn't have read the article. It's not "FedEx's prices were too high". It's "FedEx told me it costs $x.xx to mail a package and I was charged $x.xx + $y.yy".

Since you've mentioned you're biased against the findings, what do you think it would take to convince you of their findings? What would they have to demonstrate for you that their conclusions were valid?

I'm struggling to understand how they're going to pull this off without pissing people off. It was my understanding that console makers typically take losses on sales of their console and make up for it by selling games. That's why we have

Doesn't Google's App Store tend towards free apps moreso than others? I don't have an Android phone but I remember that was the case previously. Angry Birds was a paid app on both Apple's and Microsoft's store, but free on Android for some

An appeal to an authority who is an expert in the field is not a logical fallacy. It makes complete sense to want to hear about global warming from a climate scientist.

Couldn't you launder them through places like Silk Road? Set up a number of fake buyer/seller accounts and complete fake trades. I think the transactions go through a centralized escrow account which means they'd get mixed up with other peo

I'm unaware of any such law covering short-term subleases in Canada. By "transient accommodation laws", are you speaking about hotels with hundreds of guests, or on an individual short-term sublease level?
677.
by Permit 14y ago
An individual offering a short-term sublease is not equivalent to a hotel operator offering tens or hundreds of rooms. Can you point out why you'd equate the two?

If Airbnb started providing warnings about laws in various cities, wouldn't the lack of a warning for another area suggest there were no legal issues there? This seems like something you can't half-ass.

This is really strange to me as Anders Hejlsberg says they're implementing the C# compiler in C# as part of the Roslyn project. http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/Charles/The-Roslyn-Project-Me...

by Permit 14y ago
No, if you watch the videos, Anders specifically says that they plan to eat their own dog food on this one and expose APIs to the same compiler they use. He also says that they're rewriting the C# compiler entirely in C# as part of Roslyn.

Exactly. The hindsight bias that is present when discussing CEOs, failed companies, successful companies and business in general is absolutely stunning.
