I googled our immigration backlog, and according to multiple sources[0], the current number of pending immigration applications is 10M. These are people who are willing to fill out the applications and wait. It's not unreasonable to as

I didn't describe any model at all, so how can my non-existent model be "wrong"?

I'd be curious to hear what workers think their CEOs compensation should be. I hear a lot of "a CEO doesn't do 100x the work of their workers." Well, what multiple do you think is more appropriate? What is the mechanism

Can you be more clear what you mean by this? Are you saying I'm punishing my users for requiring that they pay for the service?

by daenz 4y ago
That's one thing I could have done better. They did know that it would eventually be paid, but I only gave the ballpark figure to those who asked, not everyone.

The marginal cost isn't zero unfortunately. Each user is actually expensive, and their cost is unbounded (I send hundreds to thousands of SMS messages per user, per month, on their behalf). They've only gotten more expensive as th

To add some additional context, the closed beta users knew from the beginning that the product would be paid after the closed beta. Some even asked about the price, and I gave them a ballpark figure, and all of the responses to the figure w

It's a good idea, and one that I've run during the closed beta. A handful of the users have a referral credit for referring other beta users, and once we leave the closed beta, their credit will go into effect. I plan on extending

It won't work for my product. The costs per user are too high.

I ran into this as well. I had an attempted launch a month ago with a different pricing model, and people were pissed. They loved the product so much that they were angry at the prospect of having to choose to not use it (because they did

It's a pay as you go model. There's a small base fee, plus costs that scale as you use it. Originally, I had a 2 tier model, for basic and premium. But the feedback that I got from the beta users was that it wasn't granular e

Not a bad idea, but I'm just going to ask that they pay the normal price in a few weeks. If my product really is game-changing for them, they'll pay it. If they won't, then a discount is only prolonging the inevitable. My cur

I've been running a free closed beta for a product of mine for... 6 months. The users absolutely love it and claim they can't live without it. But I am having difficulty wrangling them into a price that they don't complain ab

Sounds like pressure washing vs sand blasting. Only difference between the two (aside from drastically different effect) is sand blasting has an intake tube to suck sand into the water jet.

Great find @ 0:40. The only thing it doesn't convey very well is the older man's explanation of the copper spear curling outward on itself. From the simulation, it seems like it is just punching through and maintaining its rigidit

Sorry to answer my own post, but I watched it again and picked up on the key idea at 2:09. The inverted apex of the cone drives into the steel, pushing the steel aside, but then the apex opens up and flows back along the outside of itself.

>only with labeling Not according to the OP's link though: >the FDA will not let you have it because it has not reviewed and approved the label or inspected the production facilities overseas. Emphasis mine.

by daenz 4y ago
I'm not sure I fully understood the explanation. So the copper cone is turned inside out and turns into a pointed wire that drives into the target? How is it that this wire can continue through the 1ft of steel? Is the force of the exp

Thanks for sharing. Here's my perspective as a lean person who has no problems literally starving themselves to do other things. It does indeed sound like your hunger is more intense than my hunger. I think I benefit from a ton of expe

Agree it's a good thing. Purely from an incentive perspective though, there's a perverse incentive to let your opponents take the blame for things that you did, and take the credit for things that they did.

Can you elaborate on this? I've always been surprised at how many families use formula. Do mothers just not breastfeed much anymore?

Plus, if it does happen, but the other party is in charge, they take all of the credit.
