Exclusivities don't need to last forever. An exclusive of a few months may be enough to acquire additional subscribers while keeping the cost low enough to be justified as an acquisition cost. Personally, I think exclusives will always

Microsoft's MVP program started in the early 90s and essentially outsourced customer service in forums to thousands of volunteers. In exchange, they receive an MSDN sub they probably already had, some discounts, and a nifty certificate

Curious: if you disagree with a permitting process for the private buses, what would you prefer the outcome to be?

Their math seems suspect. $1B / $271 = 3.7 million stops. Assuming 39 bus stops in the Bay Area [1], a 7d/wk schedule (i.e., no separate holiday/weekend schedule), and that every bus stop gets an equal number of stops, that&#

GWP is probably the wrong measure. Instead, take a look at the money supply (m0) [2]. It's the sum of currency in circulation plus money available in demand deposits. For Bitcoin, that's essentially the market cap =~ $15 billion.

Like Amazon.com and AWS, Google.com doesn't share the same infrastructure as GCE. So while the employee experience and expertise may carry over, the infrastructure doesn't. EC2 had serious outages even though Amazon.com stayed up

Flippable connectors were always considered, but deemed secondary to minimizing the manufacturing cost [1]. Considering that billions (trillions?) of USB ports and plugs in the world, I think they succeeded. After all, step 1 for creating a

Just about every pro sports league needs to manage its rules to ensure that the playing field gets leveled every season. For example, NFL draft picks are in reverse order of season success. If last year's Super Bowl winner was able to

Amazon doesn't need this to use drones for 100% of deliveries. But if they pick enough constraints, could it work? Assume it will never work in NYC, but could it work in Albuquerque, New Mexico? Assume it won't fly if the winds ar

Flying drones would offset the number of cars and trucks that are roaming around our streets, highways, and bridge by putting them into the sky. Would it be better or worse to replace all of those cars that come in/out of a Wal-mart, T
