I don't think that many bosses think like that. What if the company is not that profitable, can you still stay competitive? Are you willing to risk the future of the company?

It's hard for amazon to compete with costco. Their return policy is second to none. When a manufacturer refuses to honor their own warranty, this service is priceless.

If you ship the packages directly to them, there is no reason to even think about the UPS facility. You're suggesting as a last-minute choice to use luna? That may be harder as UPS checks IDs.

I don't think the argument was about the misc. time it takes to do things. It takes time to commute, it takes time to shower, it even takes time to eat. The issue is that you're working for a prospective company while not being co

You say that "This seems harder — making apps is more time-consuming". Which is true, making apps is harder. Because of that, it's probably easier to generate income from apps because the market is not as saturated as niche-w

When we remodeled our house, we specifically bought lever-style door handles so that it's easier to open / close doors, easier on arthritic hands, etc. But, I wonder: Are there are other door mechanisms which will prove easier to

Regardless of whether they explode, catch fire, burn slowly, burn quickly, the point still stands. Their placement on the underside of the car could probably be the best choice considering everything.

I don't think placement could solve the points you mention. Sure, debris can damage the underside and cause the car to catch fire, but putting the packs in the front or rear of the car can cause it to explode on impact as well. Having
