No they would not. Not until you actually went to the police station, got them to open a case, got an injunction and the "culprit" would get served with a formal notice. Then if they kept doing that would they potentially be in br

$3/mo is $36/year, most templates on themeforest and other platforms are around that price and they are selling fine. Considering the code is running on the user's side, the marginal cost for low-tier customers is probably mi

French for example is an exception in that fractional numbers are only pluralized over 2. Note that in English "5 years old" would become "0.5 decades", using the plural form as well.

1.1 > 1, so 1.1 decades old. That is how plurals work in most languages.

Cryptocurrency is a decades-old term as well (Bitcoin dates from 2009).

You missed the whole point in that uncalled for attack on my education. No one here is talking about preventing all competition. Then you went on repeating an economic principle without understanding it fully. I know that because you consid

"Did Amazon sell the rights to another company to use their brand?" But of course, why not? These kinds of trademark licensing agreements are all over the place, there would be no difference here.

Companies enter into agreements all the time, not all of it is necessarily collusion. The Amazon Basics company could buy some market information or behavioural stats from the Amazon Dotcom company at a rather steep price, for example.

by vntok 7y ago
That's what Amazon Basics is and does.
762.
by vntok 7y ago
OK, done. Now you have Amazon Basics' products competing with Amazon Fulfillment's products on Amazon Dotcom's website. Different entities, not even under the same corporate governance.

But Amazon launching new products is strictly more competition, so...

That is false. In many jurisdictions, blackmail does not require a financial transaction, merely obtaining something deemed valuable by the blackmailer in exchange for keeping the blackmailee's information private. See [1] for the US:

You quote the annual age-adjusted rate for regular people. What's the rate among startup employees? Surely in startups where the future is particularly highly uncertain, employees feel a lot more pressured than those in boring companie

Well that's the point of the parent commenter though, right? How do you intend to support IE11 while using Bootstrap 5, even if the client offers to pay you?

Yeah, people will not collect subscriptions to content publishers like they collect emojis on their phones. Estimate how many websites you visit each month; people would need dozens of monthly subscriptions if such a system was set up. Inst

Because managing advertisers and selling ad space is extremely time-consuming or expensive to set up and maintain, and most companies being SMBs they don't have the necessary manpower to do so?

I don't understand how your second sentence logically follows the first. Where does the "significant" adjective come from?

"People here are saying..." is the parent's argument. The situation is very similar: people here, on this forum, aren't a representative sample of the market, outside. That statement holds even when said market is co
