Gyms have high fixed costs and low marginal costs. You don't cost them very much money every time you go.

> “Because only 15 percent of MoviePass members see four or more movies a month, we expect that the new subscription model will have no impact whatsoever on over 85 percent of our subscribers.” Is it the same 15% seeing 4 movies a month?

It's a great deal and it's still going to bankrupt the company. If I sent you $30 a month and you sent me $10 a month, that's a great deal for you, but how long can I do it?

It’s trading at low multiples for the simple reason that it’s already the most valuable company in history and there are limits to how large a company can grow. When you buy stock in companies with high multiples that’s because you’re dream

The way people actually play is this: Let’s say we’re in the second round and all the players have 2 cards. If you have a 1 obviously you’re playing it immediately. Of course everyone knows that so if you have a 5 for example, you’ll wait t

Every game I’ve played is full of non intentional communication in addition to timing and that’s part of the game play as far as I’m concerned. Even the way you move your hand communicates something.

by empath75 8y ago
It is basically a game about timing but in practice people can’t help but give cues. Just as an example, if my only card is a 99 or 100 I can’t help but be somewhat disengaged with play and people are going to notice that and make assumptio

It’s really hard and not fun to keep everyone just counting seconds. In practice it goes faster in earlier rounds and slower in later ones.

We have this in northern Virginia on 66 going into the city. We’ve had tolls as high as $50 on some days, but usually it tops out below $20. It does seem to have helped congestion. For people who can’t afford the toll, it’s free if you have

Right but I’m suggesting that it’s not important because it was the first game that was made as art, but because it was the first mainstream game that was intended to be presented as ‘art’ and was engaged with as critics _as_ art.

I dunno. I’ve been playing video games since the Atari 2600 and I don’t think I recall any mainstream games that interacted with the ‘art’ world in a serious way. There were rpgs and such with serious stories, but I don’t think they were ta

The importance of Braid is primarily that it was the first game which was intended to be a piece of art, rather than a toy for children, which had any kind of mass market appeal. It was the way people engaged with it seriously, in terms of

I guess I’m mixing up ordinals and cardinals but it seems odd that if you order the points differently ((0,0), (1,0), (0,1), (2,0), (1,1), (0,2), etc...)you never get to omega and cover all the same points.

Very well done. I'd like to see some puzzles with good and bad contagions at the same time, though. Because as it is, if you're optimizing for wisdom, you're also optimizing for binge drinking.
