Developers won't actually absorb the full discount. A decrease in the fee will force a drop in prices (if that's possible) as developers attempt to find new customers with their newfound margin. If you have a more price-elastic cu

The article literally states: the results highlight the critical role of beliefs about willpower in self-control performance I don't know how generalizable the results are, and I'm not making claims about its generalizability. I

One could argue that this study is showcasing a strategy for people of a certain mindset to improve their willpower; what it doesn't offer is proof that the many other studies that have supported depletion theory use "very shaky&q

It's undeniably dismissive. Yes, the first sentence is a question, but "is it anything more than X?" is a rhetorical flourish meant to imply that the product is trivially replicated. The next sentence goes on to say that he&#

A very dismissive and short-sighted comment. The ambition here seems to go beyond the current implementation, to have a "magic" chat view that tracks voices and transcribes them in differing colors automatically and with minimal s

I seruously doubt either of those worked for "some users." Just an impression grab.

While this is partially true, you need to remember that about half of the pitch here seemed to be that this item is fashion . Fashion typically isn't "pitched" as a solution to "problems" (right? runway?). Thus, Ap

It's kind of a catch-22, isn't it? Are folks on the lower third of the willpower bell curve (those who need it the most) going to be willing to endure extensive mindfulness training? Especially with all those distractions sitting

I think if you ask most people battling health issues or have eating problems whether they could force their future selves for the next month to be not allowed to order dessert, they would choose to. They wouldn't trust themselves in t

I'm not saying that the users know that free options have lower cost-benefit tradeoffs, but in reality, experiments show that they do, specifically the on I cited. But you raise an interesting point. It could well be that the "m

the market clearly doesn't think mobile games are directly worth enough to pay for making them I would argue that this pattern is an irrationality that must be corrected with force [1]: When faced with a choice of selecting one of s

Pardon my ignorance not being a security expert, but given that all endpoints here (software and hardware) are Apple-controlled, just how trivial is spoofing a keyserver? Genuinely curious.

Actually, is it not possible to do a count on the key bag?

Users get both a push notification and email when a new device is added to the key bag. So additionally this step would need to be maliciously skipped.

With all respect, you're way, way oversimplifying things in an intellectually dishonest way. I work with folks who worked with Jobs and he was a major, active, creative contributor. His role wasn't, as you say, to be handed produc

What I mean by that is that there is no company in the computer industry that owns so much of the stack as Apple does. And shepherding such an integrated company through one of the biggest tech booms in history is nothing to relegate to mer

If you're trying to model something like an Xbox controller with a touch surface, then, as you say, no chance. If you're trying to model something simpler like a WiiMote, then I think you might hit closer to the mark. Let's k

This is illogical. You don't show that "they didn't change a lot," only that they did what they did what they did first. That doesn't diminish the achievement of accomplishing an ambitious goal, and it doesn'
