Re:Best Buy Is Thriving in the Age of Amazon on Thursday July 19, 2018 @11:31AM (#17567233)
In the last year counterfeits have become such a big problem for me that my trust in Amazon has eroded dramatically. I wonder when that will show up in their stock price.
congrats!
Re:Lessons from Spotify on Wednesday March 07, 2018 @01:18PM (#16538470)
Spotify vs netflix

- People very very infrequently watch the same movie/tv show twice.

- People very very frequently listen to the same song

therefore

- The past is important for songs since at any point in time there are more songs in the past that you want to listen than new songs that have been just released

- The future is more important for movies since you are looking fwd to watching something new

therefore

Netflix >>> Spotify
