If you grew up in any past era where owning a physical 'thing' was the default, you naturally feel the inherent lack of ownership in a digital version of that same thing.
If you grow up in a time of mega platforms that can give you almost all of a certain media type for a subscription fee, the idea of lining up at midnight to pay 3x that fee for one plastic disc from one artist/publisher must sound insane and suboptimal.
It was a good time though.
I, for one, appreciated finding this on HN as it gives me ideas for my own company where data privacy is a core feature.
Stick to what your customers want!
But this organisation has inarguably done good in the world. There's no need to detract from that.
These still live in excel, but I would love to move then into a web app.
Is there a best practice way to go about this? I've tried basic html forms that pass to python for the number crunching (there are optimisations and Monte Carlos). But it gets so messy as the number of input fields increase. Does a tool exist to simplify this process?
The #1 reason I had to leave Twitter is the degradation of replies. Prioritising blue ticks ruined any productive conversation in the comments. Much like HN is (imho) most valuable for the comments, old twitter was great for the expertise in the replies - where the cream rose to the top. Now it's impossible or takes a lot of scrolling to find useful dialogue.
It's not perfect, but for now Bluesky is scratching that itch of smart commentary immediately after a post. That was enough to get me to completely move to the platform.
Sometimes the practical solution isn't the most efficient.
Otherwise, I love this OP. Will likely use it regularly!
Will be keeping an eye on your progress.
The question about sharing the customers photo & painting on your site defaults to YES (which is 'free') and offers a NO option at +$3 extra charge.
Pricing theory, I'm particularly thinking of loss aversion, would suggest you'd get more customers selecting your preferred option of YES if you offer a discount for making this selection (-$3) and leave the rate unchanged for those declining to share.
I'm curious if you A/B tested this pricing option and found the +$3 charge more successful (assuming you are trying to maximise customers opting to share their photos)? Anecdotally I'd be more inclined to pick the option that gives me a discount, if it existed.
Here in Australia city and state hospitality organisations are very vocal in opposition to airbnb. The usual argument is why should they be paying to meet licensing/safety requirements when airbnb hosts can rent out their home without regulation. I'd guess 90%+ of these premises are standalone homes.
In my city the local council just announced plans to limit a property to 42 nights of airbnb per year, or face significant fines. Not sure it'll stick.
When the numbers are this far apart, I can't help but be suspicious.
Is this aimed at those completely new to Poker Theory?
