No, Group 1 describes users who are interested in your product but, for whatever reason, have not yet made the purchase. Maybe they're on the fence about whether they need it, or are deciding between two or three products. The purpose

So, focusing strictly on the business side of things, you have two user groups: 1) Users who have some interest and may purchase your product. 2) Users who "just briefly want to see what all the fuzz is all about" but "don&#x

So then my question would be- where does Amazon store their inventory? They still have to figure out a way to give people selection and timely delivery but do so in a way that doesn't involve storing large amounts of inventory in expen

What does the local store win on? I think in the long-run, it'll be price. Sure, in the short-term, Amazon can do what they do and undercut on price, but in the modern age, Wal-Mart has pretty much figured out the optimal model of in

I'd wager that that'd only hold if all (or a lot) of your Snapchat contacts did the same. I think people often overestimate people's unwillingness to use multiple apps while underestimating their unwillingness to switch to a

I don't understand why anybody would be blaming them. This is 100% on the author of the story and NY Mag. They published the story, it's their responsibility to fact-check it. I for one think it's hilarious that they got this

In my experience, differentiating from competition wasn't really a factor in how much I charged or how much I made. For a lot of businesses that would hire a solo consultant, there is no consideration of the competition. Most of the bu

In my experience business owners are very open to cold email introductions. Somewhere it became legend that nobody responds to sales emails but if you rethink your pitch as an earnest attempt to either listen to their problems or provide th

I think that this is only part of the story. It isn't only that we didn't possess the technology to mass-produce these things, we also lacked the need to produce these things at all, let alone in mass-quantities. The need for a

Uh, no, it was a rhetorical question. I'm saying that if we want to make some special case that the author must disclose that she knows the subject of her article before describing what she witnessed first-hand, then we should maybe re

Not sure why you are getting down-voted. I agree 100%. If we are going to discuss conflicts of interest, we should start with the fact that BuzzFeed's entire business model centers on getting the most page views in the shortest period

Well then in that case, can we ask the likes of Pando and Gawker to disclose at the beginning of their accounts that they were not actually at the dinner and all information is based on second-hand accounts? Maybe if they are feeling extra

Interesting that you are seemingly willing to take several second-hand accounts and interpretations of what his comments were and the context in which they were made from sources nowhere near the room, yet are okay assuming that what she wr

Seems like a big conflict of interest here and changes the tone from "see this from another perspective" to "I am defending my friend, so everything I write is going to be heavily biased" Why? She is probably one of th

I disagree. The cost isn't always just "trashing an email without a response." Many times recruiters will mislead you and waste your time with downright deceptive practices. I once had a recruiter contact me about a product m

Exactly. The real problem with fat gain/loss isn't sedentary vs. active lifestyles, it's calorie consumption. This is why smokers who never work out are usually extremely thin- they typically eat very little. That isn't

I agree. Given the fact that she mentioned multiple times trying to sell a novel and a tv pilot, I doubt that this was an earnest attempt to get a job, but rather an earnest attempt to get fodder for an overly-complicated article about bein

Why do authors/sites insist on doing this I suspect that apart from the uncontrollable desire to add something that is perceived to add some aesthetic value to the article, that there is some precedence to these enlarged excerpts act

You're right that it's headquartered there, but it's largest workforce is in Portland, Oregon, and that is where my classmates went to work post-MBA.

Lazy reporting. The logic underpinning this article is flimsy at best. He is using the following to infer that fewer MBA's are going to SF: About 24% of MBA graduates in the class of 2014 headed to tech jobs, down from 32% in 2013 and

The overall theme (as an American who has never visited Japan) seems to be one of risk-aversion vs. risk-insensitivity. In the U.S., the culture embraces risk and risk-takers, if most of us don't actually live out these ideals ourselve

This just feels like something that would have been on display at Radio Shack, circa 1993. Then, at $199, I might have bitten. Today, doesn't seem interesting, considering I can use a smart phone for any of this.

I just don't see how SaaS at this scale can ever be profitable. Asana, Slack, and the like have to support large teams while the enterprise sales cycle is extraordinarily expensive. If you're Oracle and can charge $5k a seat plus

I don't understand- that only seems to hold if everyone agrees to use Slack. If everyone agrees to use a single chat service, like OC (like most large enterprises), then you don't have to search anything but the company directory,

I think that the answers to a lot of these problems lie in extremely complex algorithms and a drastic change in technology. Instead of each person owning and operating a car that operates exactly the same way that cars do today, I imagine p

So because the current best option is grouping people based on imprecise risk factors like age, demographics, and hereditary problems, we should forever turn a blind eye to individual warning signs even if they could save our lives? This is

Your generalizations about Michigan are misinformed. Not really. I lived in Michigan for several years.

No justification is required because it's pretty much baked into the mentality of the Midwest. The auto industry is what drives the Michigan economy (at least its most populous areas). Therefore most constituents not only don't mi

I think #2 is the salient point there and displaces #1. Creating a "groudbreaking, path forging technology and an amazing team" is the outlier, not raising a half a billion in funding. If you can achieve the former, then your odds
