Yes, I think it is honey. You are right that it isn't that much effort to try it. I find it annoying because they never seem to work for me. In a world where our behavior is closely tracked, I have come to wonder if the coupons don&

The comment I was responding to was implying that coupons were an outdated marketing strategy. I was saying that I think it can help companies achieve higher margins by selling at higher prices to wealthier customers, while still achievin

Isn't this a useful form of price discrimination, though? The coupons allow you to sell your products at full price to those who are price insensitive, while also allowing you to sell at a discount to price-sensitive buyers. Only th

In addition to focusing on international, they are still focused on very small companies. I went to a conference for small solo entrepreneurs this year, and they had a heavy presence. They also acquired/supported indie hackers. No

Exactly. I signed up with stripe maybe 5 years ago. At that time, I was trying to find a processor, and came close to signing with a bank. The bank wanted me to sign a long-term agreement, the agreement had disadvantageous and confusin

Thanks a lot! You are right, a masala was just what I was looking for. The Shan products mentioned below seem to have a ton of sodium, but the everest products you mention let you add your own sodium and sugar to taste. I just ordered

I don't think I'm exactly in your target market, but I have a related problem: We cook a lot of healthy foods at home (e.g. skinnytaste), and Indian recipes are the only ones that never come out. I suspect it is because we never g

Thanks for posting this, I have been looking for just such a summary. I think I will be a significant beneficiary of this provision (as I currently understand it, anyway), but I agree with other commenters that I wish we could just make th

When I was in my twenties, I didn't think marriage sounded that great either. I am 42 now and love being married. Here are a few thoughts: * I really understood the desire to marry when I found someone who was right for me. My wife

I spent two years building an automated system for building resident block schedules. I made it to a beta with a very large residency, but for a combination of technical and incentive reasons it was impractical to grow. I actually revisi

FWIW, I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro. I found it was getting slow. I tried putting a lot of memory in it, to little effect. Then, I put this: https://www.amazon.com/OWC-Accelsior-PCIe-SATA-Adapter/dp/B0... And this:

I really love this idea! There are so many great places to live, if only you could find a good programming job there. I left Seattle for St. Louis to be close to family, and it was the best decision I ever made. Glad to see that Zapier i

Assuming you are a software developer, I think you should reconsider your "price should approximate production cost" reasoning. I think it will hold you back if you eventually try something entrepreneurial. When I started a small

Just downloaded it, the app is really elegant. Really nice work. I have used weight watchers in the past, so here are a few thoughts: 1. Its not totally clear to me what the goal of the app is. Is it going to help me lose weight? Help

This is so true. Having children is such a tectonic shift in lifestyle that I think it is very hard to anticipate how it will impact your priorities. I was close to both my parents and grandparents before having kids, but I felt a new, de

Just for your interest, I worked for a company that believed micro-payments was the way to pay for content on the internet in the late 1990s. It was called Qpass. The idea was that you could buy some credits, and use your Qpass at any of

Couldn't agree more. Also, again from "Hoop Dreams", it was as though the basketball players believed that having entered college was going to transform their career prospects in itself, regardless of what they learned. If

I agree with 1. My wife and I just re-watched "Hoop Dreams", which she had never seen. There is a moment where Arthur Agee goes on a recruiting visit to a 2 year college, and is shown offering 4 different generic career ideas t

FWIW, we have both automated and machine-based checkout at our grocery store, and I choose the machine-based when I can because its faster, and I usually have a wife and kids waiting at home. So, sometimes the more automated option is also

When I was a kid, we ran around our neighborhood as a pack every day after school, and all summer. We would explore the woods, explore new construction houses near us after the workers left, play sports, and thousands of other activities.

For what its worth, I felt this way when I was 28. I ended up leaving a very good job to start a very small business. Although its a tiny niche business, it ended up providing an amazing life for me and my family. I am 42 now (yikes!).

This econtalk provides some nuance for your point: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2014/04/bryan_caplan_on.htm... There are many reasons to believe that college is more about signaling than knowledge. Whil
