It's a price discriminator, to dissuade the pet owning group from renting. Why? Because they also cause negative externality to other units. That's what I can think of. If they could do a child charge I'm sure they would.

That already exists in many states. The problem is you need to take the landlord to court to recover, if they don't pony up.

Because of innumeracy. You can hide a business opportunity in basic arithmetics. If it's "too hard" to calculate people give up.

This isn't a ban on junk fees. It's an upfront disclosure requirement.

That doesn't mean no word for sea. It means sea refers to any large body of water that you dnn't see the other side of, like in some (all?) other language families. There is no discernible distinction from the perspective of the a

'calc' used to bring up calculator, but now it becomes some widget to calculate distance inside the spotlight box. The worst thing is you can't even backspace out of it.

Identify a harm first and then go through the deliberative process. The company deciding it wants this usually means you run the other way, not towards it. Did Big Tobacco volunteer to think of the children?

Then don't use the shitty to justify what to do with the not really shitty. It's a logical fallacy.

Who decides what is bad parenting? You tread on dangerous grounds.

Not possible? You can remove all those conversations from training and see if it still solves the problem. That'll be expensive though.

So why not use 2D maps, have people lost the ability to read North up maps? I swear ever since paper maps have not been used in cars, people have gotten spatially dumber.

People are extremely risk averse on this, which makes sense.

Money is a claim on valuable things, so people will do anything to get more of valuable things. Some may say that's just an abstracted form of biological hunger.

I don't think that's the point? Why did the doctors not, ahem, review the notes and take responsibility?

They did not come up with the ideas themselves, so they got them somewhere. Follow the source and all the citations show up. It must be a modern thing where online blogging randos pretend they are all geniuses.

Exactly. The best science exposition combines both. See, The Mechanical Universe and Veritasium.

It really became a problem only with Windows RT attempting to merge mobile OS with desktop. All the non-sensical UX compromises are still from that. Later they abandoned consumerware after losing the mobile space but that's a different

Like every holiday sale? Costco and Amazon discount Apple products all the time, and of course there is EPP and student pricing.

Conversion is different at $1100 vs. $400 so it's not a straight 1:1 $167 vs $70; the beancounters will weight by the likelihood of getting the amount in the first place. You also have to consider the long-term value of converting, e.g

I can think of a few reasons: 1) Digital goods, so very little friction. 2) No liquidity locally so you go to the large market. 3) Selling large volume. 4) Some third party to verify payment when it's not cash. There are more and more

eBay takes a 13%+ cut, then there's shipping, so you're looking at $300 after cost of business. If you're selling a lot, sure, capture that $100 difference. If you're selling one and dealing with buyers, you'll spen

They won't throw it into the shredder. They'll capture the residual by wholesaling it second-hand, same as with trade-in's.

First-party MSRP at that. What's a few % free loan discount in comparison to almost any other retail pricing out there that is periodically 10-15% off.
