Google clearly did not intend 6P to be either budget or 'developer' phone. They were very serious about the phone and spent a lot of money on advertising it to consumers in a number of countries.

Unrelated, but I found that (uni) students find it easier to remember what conCAVE and conVex mean by recalling the shape of an entrance to a 'cave' and the shape of letter 'v'. Visual cues are very useful, even if you d

They were also very aggressive with their youtube ads this year. For an extended amount of time this year every second ad I saw on YouTube was them (I live in Sweden).

I fully agree, if anything this would be about bank runs. Also it is a cherry picked example, I can cherry pick one too. Poland had a hyperinflation episode in 1920s and another high inflation event in the 1990s; yet card adoption (and adop

But at the same time, you have plenty of places where you cannot pay with cash.

Plus, as you mentioned yourself mcap corresponds to the present value of all future cashflows and GDP to one years output. The only way this would make sense is you were comparing changes in GNP to changes in mcap.

Long time ago I used some free $ on adwords to advertise Dropbox. I maxed out the free storage upgrades within a day or two. I am sure I am not the one who did that. People click on ads. Plus ads are not always meant to lead to sales. For c

On Lufthansa flights you are not allowed to have Note 7s powered on. They make a special announcement about it.

Grades correspond to during which period of the cycle the syrup was obtained; not to quality.

One thing that jumps at me in this study is the high risk of investigating two different populations with different characteristics. Foreign students are more likely to be high achievers (and high-achieving women), quantitative degrees are

Once you see a full sample you can run a Kalman Smoother (after The Filter). Main difference is that KF extrapolates and KFS interpolate.

What Apple does is simply reprehensible. They say that since they will automatically switch everyone to the new service they are not willing to pay for them. People defending them would be pissed if Google did that with All Access. All serv

Your preferences are ordinal. A utility function needs to just reflect your preferences. It is ECON101 that if your preferences do not satisfy certain properties, there is no utility function that can represent them.

That could be standardized into things like: * price/unit * caloric_value/unit * other_nutrition_label/unit ...and with that we could control which food companies are resorting to tricks.

You clearly have never been to the Netherlands. If there happens to be snow (which it rarely does now), bike lanes get cleared first.

The end level I actually did that with some help. ;) I tried to get people draw things at the point where if somebody stepped on a button all walls disappeared.

I just made a bunch of people go crazy drawing on one level. It took me 30 minutes trying to get someone draw anything.

As an econometrician I cannot believe how many times he said 'magic'. There is something very wrong when you put things in your model 'because, who knows, it might be helpful' (like he did with host names). Variable sele

Currently you do not have to pay a dime to do a PhD in the Netherlands. In fact, you are almost surely an employee of the university (not a "student") and get a salary of 2300+ EUR (gross) a month. The 1.8k EUR applies to MA/

Im not a fan of bitcoin. But it cannot be in two wallets at the same time. If you deposit money in a bank it no longer is in your wallet but starts being a number on a screen. You transfer the money to the banks wallet. Then the bank can le
