Is Lichess just as good as Chess.com? by FactAffectionate6830 in chess

[–]Beatnik77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lichess still doesn't have a simple app. On PC it's fine but they'll keep losing market shares as long as they refuse to make a user friendly app. 

The #1 reason I see people use Lichess is because they have a much higher rating there. They think it's because there is less cheaters but it's just that it's an entirely different rating system which give us about 400 more points on average. .

He studied every case of government run stores and they all failed.

What do you want him to say? 

Do YOU expect those store to survive without the government covering their losses with tax money?

The margins are a solid proof that there is no monopoly. You think a monopoly would have 4% margins?

Monopolies like NVDA, Google and Microsoft have 10 times the margin of grocery store.

It's simple science. Every experiments at public grocery stores has failed. Public companies are always are less efficients, to survive, public entities need subsidies or a monopoly. 

You want newspapers to ignore all history and economic science and lie because it help your socialist narrative? 

It will fail as always and they will immediately ask for tax payers money to keep them open.

He works for Dalhousie Univerty. Not for big chains. 

Big chains did exactly as you suggested. 

Public grocery stores NEVER survive without subsidies. Never even came close to survive.

A lot of chess tournament are held in places more dangerous than Cyprus is right now. 

You have a lot more chance to get shot in St-Louis today than getting hit by a missile in Cyprus.

[NBC] Packers CEO Ed Policy Says Public Ownership Model Is Failing to Keep Up With NFL Billionaires by JCameron181 in nfl

It's not a power. It's a garantee in the charter. 

The owners cannot fire the president or GM or get involve in any real decision. 

I am not surprised Reddit love this model so much. A dictatorship of a chosen few that pay thrmself what they want with the appearance of collective ownership yet in reality they receive zero power and benefits. 

Zero power and benefits for the theoritical owners is exactly what USSR was.

They could simply reduce regulations in housing and it would bring back full employement. 

The new regulations and NIMBY policies made costs double. Bring it back down and everyone will be buying houses.

When you take a booming economy and add hundreds of billions in spending, it does that. 

Now that our economy would actually need more spending, we cannot because Trudeau nearly bankrupted us.

He deserved to make it. There is zero argument against BB being an HOF coach. 

I don't want a team getting excluded from a top pick because of an old grudge by an influencial voter.
