I personally love the idea of Google self-driving cars being used in this respect. Would be interesting to see Amazon get into this space as well considering their work in optimizing inventory and restocking algorithms - seems like it could

Really brave of the author to share this story. I know most people would be afraid to admit this kind of a public "mistake".

I think the vast majority of customers know what they're getting when they start playing a free game with incredibly high production values. Additionally, to the economics point, consumers are making choices about whether they think a

Sorry, let me clarify my point: It appears that you're making a value judgement about behavior being rational or irrational, when it's just how human beings make decisions. If we all operated as purely rational individuals, unsway

I take issue with the idea of considering consider this a "sad" event or assume that people are "falling" for emotional tactics and that they're later "convincing themselves" that the money was well spent.

Exactly. Communications companies generate significant savings by driving people to self-help on their website or through chat reps (where they can handle 10 customers at a time). Also, longer wait times helps increase the barrier to frivol

This is the problem with treating every customer similarly. Frankly, considering the user data and customer segmentation that a company like Comcast (or other providers) should have, you'd think that it would actually be a significant

One of the problems with assuming male/female within datasets is that typically more females keep their gender information confidential, which ends up skewing the dataset significantly. Also it would have been interesting to compare so

It's pretty shocking that founders of a company the size and success of Tinder could be as cavalier with their social media streams and professional attitude. Regardless of the facts of the case, these will dramatically impact their pu

Almost half of 1-star reviews of luxury hotels complain about service... Of course, hotels should be penalized for stuffy, unpleasant, and brusque service. But by how much? Is service really more important than the comfort of the rooms or

Thanks for your response. Glad to hear you're looking for a solution, and I'm very interested in seeing what ends up getting changed. I wonder how many people are actually looking at the "new" page vs. the front page, as

As a local Seattleite, this is the first logical explanation I've heard for a $15 minimum wage, and it has given me a reason to change my mind on the policy. I don't know how it will play out (I don't think anyone does), but

To be honest, this is one of the problems I have with HN. If there's a decent article but it goes relatively under the radar, I'll never see it. And there's no system in place to give an article a "second chance". I

Yep - this is what we ended up playing. Though we did just do it time-based, which also created a bit of a hit on productivity :-)

We never got into it at my office, but there's another game that offers similar tactics and is playable online, called Neptune's Pride[0]. It offers similar amounts of negotiation (and backstabbing), and we found that the game gre

Could be a very lucrative deal if someone can buy at a speculative price and flip. Wonder if it ends up in the hands of an investment banker/firm.

I think the important thing is clarity of what you're getting (and how to compare) - not specifically detailing parts. I still don't understand how this isn't industry standard. The process of buying a computer (non-Mac) thes

Not to divert from the main point of the article, but this is frightening: More than 40 percent of American students who start at four-year colleges haven’t earned a degree after six years. If you include community-college students in the
