There's still a use case for non-sending accounts. Compared to email Twitter is a nicer way to receive promotional info. Senders are forced the keep their messages short, and there's no management time needed on the receivers part

Can you share a little more detail re: the signup/how it works pages? Did they just describe the product and say signup if you're interested? Did you let on that there was no product yet, or that it was "in development"

The "terrible outcome" is that if one hotel defects, more are tempted to defect (defect or allow the defector to capture more of the profits), and if all hotels compete on price, everybody's profit margin is lower. If demand

I didn't mean to imply collusion as I have no evidence of that. (As an aside, just because it's illegal doesn't mean it's not occuring.) Not sure if my terms are the correct here, but in my mind I was thinking collective

An Econ 101 model of the world breaks down in many ways - this is one of them. If the supply is not in doubt, but the hotels all raise the prices collectively knowing that the investor meeting is being held, it could be interpreted casually

It's something of an efficiency fallacy that keeping all resources (people and/or machines, etc) 100% occupied is the best way to get highest system productivity. Unfortunately, the assumption is baked-in to a lot of our work cult

Corporations enjoy a legalized fiction as persons, but I don't think their role as citizens has been questioned enough. Non-citizen natural persons aren't allowed to make political donations. Should international corporations who

What happens with concurrency was the area I was thinking about too. Particularly what happens if you want a render thread accessing various nodes while the rest of the engine could be in another thread updating the same data.

I haven't played around with the latest generation of sensors, but if the time/distance error growth is small enough, maybe you can get model corrections down to the nearest 45 deg. If you can hit that threshold, you might end up

I'd rather be working for the project manager that tells everybody to go home at a reasonable hour, get a good nights sleep, and come back fresh in the morning. That's the most productive. It's amazing how often an intractabl

I wondered if this was an implicit threat to explore bittorrent like protocols for Netflix clients. In general, client to client sends between residential customers would make it more difficult for ISPs to block. In addition, at Netflix&#x2

I feel that compared to a regular tube, this design would leave more residual toothpaste in the folds and in the space at the center of the tube after the "full compression". The packaging also seems more wasteful than the current

If number of people are not the limiting factor to working on both problems, why would one a) impose a condition to work on the problems in a sequential order, and b) prefer an order based on gaining more people first?

Polio is an occurrence with a probability of one, and a non-zero impact. An catastrophic asteroid impact is a low daily probability, with an impact of up to one (one being complete wipeout of the human race). I think it's a tossup whic

The standard for Newsweek shouldn't be that they publish something that might be true, and might be speculation, and maybe someone comes along to prove them false. If the publication wants to be credible, the standard is that the stori

I understand the history, but in today's commerce environment the middle-men industries should provide their own value without legislative props, or they had better have a unique line of reasoning that is relevant to the modern world.

If a dealership middle man is providing so much value to the customer, why then does it need any legislative protection? Real estate agents are a bad example, as that industry is also dug in with legislative protections against more competi
