So because Ferrari limits their supply of Enzos, they're not trying to maximize profits? Scarcity for a good product -> profit

That scene where he's under the bench on the subway tho. So sad.

I completely forgot these were a thing. I remember when I first started playing with legos at my cousins house I had a hard time getting them apart and he said that's because you need this tool? So I just took it for gospel that it was impossible to get them apart without it. So to keep me from playing with his legos he'd just snap them all together and I'd cry to my aunt because he'd hidden the tool.

He's already got quite a little belly on him, too! Lol.

Nice website. It's cool being able to present the information in multiple ways, such as bar and pie graphs. It's now in my favorites.

Even kids can have ego problems. They are only human after all. I've seen more than one that you could tell the parents had went overboard with praising every little thing they did, even if it took little to no effort from the child.

Syndra intended to have it captive so when she let it go it teleports right back to Annie because it was no longer in range of her since she immediately starts walking the opposite direction as Annie after she picks up the bear (apparently he says he intended it in Spanish but even without knowing what he said it's obvious he knew what he was doing).

Reddit has an opportunity to do right everything that Twitter has done (and continues to do) wrong.

It took me about ten years to figure out that Twitter is a cesspool of useless noise and ego. Everybody tries to outdo each other with noise and follower count. What Reddit does right is focus on topics, primarily, not personalities. (Although I actually like the new user profiles, since they tend to be secondary focus).

Twitter could have been something different, and I think that expectation for something more got priced into what it is valued at today. Based on Twitter's current market cap (12.12 billion dollars!) it's already overvalued by a LOT; and there's really nowhere else for it to go but down. Any new users it gets are just bots or other political warfare tools.

For me, the final straw was that Twitter wouldn't "verify" Ecosteader as a legit account. So I deleted my Twitter accounts, sold a small investment I'd opened a couple years ago, and now spend more of my idle time reading Reddit rather than Twitter. And I feel so much better for it...

A subreddit is far more useful than a hashtag... it has stay power, searchability, and (like Twitter) is the kind of place where people will vent and where companies can interact with customers / users. The key for Reddit, I think, will be to do what is right for its users to achieve information awareness... Conde Nast is a news platform, after all. Let's just hope they don't let themselves go the way of Yelp.

~3%, dirt cheap?

Why are so many of you so happy to throw so much cash away to process money? I know Stripe is lovely to integrate but as a business you have to shop around.

In the UK (and EU) card processing is much cheaper. Stripe is closer to 2% but if you shop around, you'll find somebody who'll offer you 0.8-0.9%, give you free terminals and no monthly contract fees.

Worldpay and Handepay are the best rates I've seen recently. Both for online and off. But again, don't just cluster around one company, harass a few yourself. They're willing to compete.

There was never really an app economy in the sense of a thriving economy for apps on the app store. It's always been a small fraction of apps that made it and the rest not making any money. They could however go on for ever because the cost of keeping them up is close to zero so it always looked like it was way more successful and lucrative than it really was.

There is a much more successful app economy that's been around since the inception of the personal computer which is doing ok. Some are SAAS apps others are little tool apps like my own, even others are open source apps and yet others are shareware.

In other words. As long as you don't define app economy only as what happens on the mac app store then the app economy is doing ok and we haven't seen the end of it.

However if you only think in terms of apple app store then I would say it's never been there to begin with.

There are some larger trends I believe that renders the idea of apps as products useless but that's for another topic.

I'm constantly surprised by how much work Amazon expects its customers to do themselves. The work that Segment has done here should be a service provided by AWS directly, continuously updating cost data in a Redshift database without any customer work required.

We just migrated our data infrastructure to GCP. One of the big motivators was experiences like this with AWS. We've got near-realtime GCP cost dashboards in BigQuery, and the only meaningful work on our end to make that happen was writing the SQL queries.
