Ok, then I misunderstood the comment. I was thinking they were saying $20 was too much to spend, not that they wish they could get away with only spending $20 per acquistion. Thanks for clarifying!

I don't know a ton about your industry, but why can't you spend $20 per customer? I can't imagine your clv is lower than that. Or are you saying you wish you only had to spend that much?

...the point is to gets 10s of millions. Simply because they are already making a lot does not mean they should avoid optimizations. If they had that attitude, they would have "stopped" at whatever number was deemed to be enough

The point of the post is about overall profitability of adwords. An ad's CTR is important to drive as much traffic as possible and also to keep a high quality score, but you arent directly paying for people who do not click your links. Ho

This is not how the vast majority of people shop. It seems like you are arguing that changes to a site's design will rarely result in a significant increase to their bottom line, but there are countless case studies that prove the opposite

He didn't "take" their car and do anything with it. He made a lower cost version of one of the systems, but not a fully functioning car. This is hugely impressive, but that doesn't mean the title isn't misleading.

choosing the mechanism that made it easier to consume is not beside the point because google didn't have to do that. we know two things; 1, they had to make the source available, 2, they released the source online. We cannot assume they o

The original point was put quite simply and your "summary" has messages the original didn't. Just seems a weird way of adding your own opinion as when you start with "let me put _your_ point in plain words," you imply that you are still ke

Nobody starts brute forcing at "mycat." Even if they somehow knew that's how it started, that barely helps them. They don't know how many other words there are, or what the next one is. Simply because it is more likely to be "my cat like

"By definition, new accounts are not "speculators" putting in trades to manipulate the price, they are people putting in trades to acquire their first bitcoins." What definition are you talking about? That sounds exactly like speculation.

the problem is that you did not base any of your arguments on actual facts. you just said "if you would have invested 5 months ago, your investment would have grown by a factor of 10." when that is the logic presented, the analogy holds.

This is not rational thinking. Simply because something has gone up in the past does not mean it will continue to. The returns for the past 5 months have been insane, but that doesnt mean it was a good investment 5 months ago because that

Most people suck at negotiating, and in a field where so much value is provided, there is a lot of value that simply isn't captured by the employee. I think having a management company like this makes a lot of sense assuming that after you

In the US, and likely most countries, card counting is not illegal. However, casinos can refuse to do business with anybody they want, so they can ban you for it. The exception is Atlantic City where you can't be banned for card counting,
