Actually, the first major assumption in this particular model is that the demand will walk to the nearest outlet. Everything else - adding a second dimension, relocation costs, possibility of entry, first-mover advantages, prices, product

I agree. About 10 years ago, someone gifted me a complete Half-life:Generation collection - with Counter-strike, Opposing Force, etc. I've recently found a Blue Shift CD from this collection and although it did not work, there was a serial

100% correct. Multi-market economic discrimination based on self-selection by time of purchase - 95% of those who would have ever paid $20 have already purchased the game, others will now pay less than that. They could have as well just dro

Get to know the companies you are going to compete with and their products. You're interested in their culture and ideology. See how they used to react to new threats, and whether given the scale and scope of their products they would consi

The problem is not in the conflict of interest - other types of insurance work mostly OK. The problem is that the health insurance companies can somehow get away from their obligations without being sued to death. Maybe that's because of va

I'm not in US, so I may not have the full picture. Am I wrong in some evident way?

He said he earns less than $250/y from affiliate links. The real reason is that the Kindle books give him much less income than dead-tree editions.

That's probably right. Do you think Amazon will inevitably become the iTunes of books, or is there anything that could stop this?
822.
by raquo 17y ago
I wonder how the publishers failed to see Amazon as a monopsony threat before, or if they did, why did they not develop their own ebook sales channels. Several times in the past years I wanted to buy a pdf of various books and could never f

How about a coin that is worth 1/3000th of a US dollar? That's what we have in Russia :) Yes, it is as useless as it sounds. By the way, the real price distributions are far from uniform. You mostly encounter .99, .49, etc. Also, in Russia

First, it's not necessarily a tradeoff. Second, it should be intuitive to your target audience , be they experts or casual users.

I'm not exactly the target audience of this, but I discovered this fact only having created a number. A little more description on the home page will definitely help.

Sure, some person has to make the decision, but what happens next is total apocalypse. Works as advertised, IMHO. (I agree though that the whole 4-page article could be condested to one paragraph)

I don't think that population increases are caused purely by poorness. Culture and rural environment are the most important factors, IMHO. The latter because if you're not living in the city you need kids to help you earn money, and you get

I don't see how it benefits the submission though when it's so evident. I personally didn't even follow the link because of these spamlike comments.

Exactly, that's what I did, but my action was not recorded in survey results which became more biased because of lack of options. It's like asking what my favorite color is and only offering 3 options without the option "other".

Anyway it should have included an option "Can't confidently blame anyone", otherwise it assumes that we have to blame someone.
