It doesn't help that I think most women would prefer (or perhaps think most men would prefer) that their bra says 32DD instead of 40A. Especially since lots of people get sized when they're in their teens and don't adjust un

I think that was true long before robo calling was a big thing. Since texting and even back from the AIM/IRC generation - when I was in college 20 years ago, with T9, people were already primarily were texting not calling.

Isn't that basically what they did? I think the FCC authorized the disconnection of a handful of service providers, and has been aggressively sending notices to others. https://www.engadget.com/robocall-company-may-rec

Are you referring to STIR/SHAKEN that is a requirement and has been/is being rolled out? I'm not sure how much was commercial benefit vs lazyness/no incentive to solve the issue directly - the telcos aren't making a

Generally, for tax purposes, it's the address of the customer for cloud services. If they give you a NL address, you tax according to Dutch law. If they give you a DE address, you tax according to German laws, regardless of where ser

This was, in my experience, not true. Ask most Tesla owners as well. The heavier car + much better acceleration created more tire wear than any improvements to traction control from faster power response (though I'm not sure intrinsic

It does have a robust 3rd party app marketplace... with fees. Amazon could sell books if they wanted to, they would just have to pay Apple.

I don't think anyone would make that decision; the bar for good enough is pretty low, and if you won't get any incremental revenue (no one is selling or advertising on the various parameters of audio quality), why would you spend

I mean that's literally yield maximization - you don't need to capture all the demand for a given good or service. You just need to capture the right mix of it. I would broadly say that I don't think anyone who goes to a ty

Interesting that you mention the kindle - wouldn't it also be nice to be able to buy Apple Books on your Kindle hardware? You also can't do that. You can root some Kindles and install other software, but is more or less like jai

What are the variable "fixed" costs? And when are they incurred? This is about revenue maximization, not user enjoyment maximization or fairness maximization. Ultimately I don't think most artists actually want revenue maxim

I mean... a little disingenuous. AMZN was a $10-20B publicly traded company at that time. When is it a startup vs a product offering of an established company?

That's only true if they're not in a rapid growth phase. There are other ways to make money from stocks - and stock appreciation is likely a bigger driver to the average investor (and most pro investors).

Your guess is as good as mine, but I would assume yes for any revenue they generate.

I'm not sure that's true... 99% of dwellings in, say, NYC are Condos, Coops or Rentals - and all buildings have management agents (or acting as your own as an individual for a building) on file with the NYC Department of Buildings

Why does it have to be a third party? Can't it just be someone on the board who lives in the building? Couldn't you just throw some security cams up at the entrances and just track coming and going and total stay time? You'

There's a lot of 2.5G copper stuff on the market now - lots being driven by 6E access points. I assume there's no reason that you can't use a 2.5G copper SFP module to connect to this also?

That’s not forgery. That’s inflation. You only get a net positive income for producing gold if the price is higher than the cost of production.

Gold is not, and has never been, immune to forgery. Science has made it harder, but still happens all the time. See: gold plating, gold alloys, etc.

Except that we have regulations for banks and brokerages for how they must operate, what sort of cash reserves they have, and how they must conduct audits. And they pay into an insurance program (FDIC/SIPC) to return money to deposito

The point of KYC is to make money laundering harder (and other transactions that the various governments want to track/police). To that extent, yes, they need to be able to show a regulator who was making those transactions. The actua
