The Koller et al. book? Well, I find that it provides a better structure and an easier read if you are new to valuation. However, Damodaran contains discussions of some important issues not discussed in the Koller et al. book and it that sense serves as a great supplement in my opinion.
Proper packaging is vital for delivering the products safely to the customer. On the other hand, going overboard on the packaging heightens the overall cost of the product, which may draw the customer away. So, it is essential to find the most secure but cost-effective boxes and packaging for your goods.
I think it should be as well but I wonder how much more doping contributes to a win in Cycling versus other sports such as soccer. I could be wrong but I would think that with regards to winning, sports such as cycling have a greater weighting on physical performance and though it is also important in sports such as soccer, there is also a great weighting on skill and teamwork.
It doesn't. Bitcoin isn't big enough to have economic relevance. And the design of Bitcoin means that it pretty much never could be.  Now cryptocurrencies in general, maybe they would someday have some relevance. They'd have to be much better designed than Bitcoin. But the advantage they might, in theory, convey which would have actual economic relevance is to lower many  transactions costs by taking banks out of the middle. And if they did enough of that, then they'd force banks to lower costs to compete. That could, in theory, be significant.
News are the only thing keeping it together. We can all read entire newspapers on the Web, but the percentage of people that still enjoys reading the morning paper is huge. TV and radio have the advantage of being live (and a live broadcast from a website is still radio/television) - if something huge happens worldwide, you'll always turn your TV on, it's still more connectable than websites. A part from that, I don't see any other advantages comparing to the internet.
&gt; The economic rich make the world a better place by creating goods and services people are willing to pay for.  Sounds like supply-side bullshit to me. More people with money to purchase goods are far more important than a few people with more money deciding what they feel like poor people should want to buy.
If you want a concession due to paying more (such as you get the garage, get to pick the art on the walls, whatever), then agree to that up front. Then accept that you've made a fair deal and they don't owe you anything beyond what you've all agreed to. It's awful to feel like you live in someone else's home and that you are getting into ever deeper debt with a close friend or significant other, and it will breed resentment. If you can't do that, then don't share an apartment with them at all. The most important thing is that everyone feels it's fair, regardless of the numbers. If you cannot get to that agreement through dollars alone, you can have them contribute to the home in other ways, such as cleaning, cooking, or performing maintenance. Just make sure that everyone truly does feel it's fair and that you are all equals."
The main point of college is alumni network, with all the useful future career-related connections. Dating/marriage is a big thing, too. Think of college as a big career fair / singles party.   Learning is only important when you go into non-bullshit fields like  science/engineering, but then you probably need labs... you have to be there in person.
Cancer patient here. One thing that’s important to distinguish is incidence rate compared to prevalence and mortality rates. We’re living longer, so more change to get cancer. We are also living longer *with* cancer, so for example with the one I have there are more people than ever with it, but that’s because they’re not dying so quickly now. Stats can be really misleading.  In general there has never been a “better” time to get cancer than now.

**Potlatch**  A potlatch is a gift-giving feast practiced by indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of Canada and the United States, among whom it is traditionally the primary economic system. This includes the Heiltsuk, Haida, Nuxalk, Tlingit, Makah, Tsimshian, Nuu-chah-nulth, Kwakwaka'wakw, and Coast Salish cultures. Potlatches are also a common feature of the peoples of the Interior and of the Subarctic adjoining the Northwest Coast, though mostly without the elaborate ritual and gift-giving economy of the coastal peoples (see Athabaskan potlatch).  Potlatches went through a history of rigorous ban by the Canadian federal government, continuing underground despite the risk of criminal punishment, and have been studied by many anthropologists.  ***  ^[ [^PM](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=kittens_from_space) ^| [^Exclude ^me](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiTextBot&amp;message=Excludeme&amp;subject=Excludeme) ^| [^Exclude ^from ^subreddit](https://np.reddit.com/r/business/about/banned) ^| [^FAQ ^/ ^Information](https://np.reddit.com/r/WikiTextBot/wiki/index) ^| [^Source](https://github.com/kittenswolf/WikiTextBot)   ^] ^Downvote ^to ^remove ^| ^v0.27

If your ideal world is one where the government keeping companies from maiming and killing people to make a buck is coddling, it is not a world I want to share with you.   There is also a story I can't remember the specifics of and thus can't pull up at 6 AM in the morning, where an American car company knew there were some serious safety flaws in a car after full production had began, and they calculated that the cost of the recall would be greater than that of the inevitable liability lawsuits, so they let people die in order to lose less money. Once word of this plot got out, they eventually got heavily fined by the government for basically being soulless bastards as I recall, but the point is this would be the norm in a world where what you want to happen happens. I would love it if someone could pull up an article so I don't sound crazy.
They didn't have a website when they started out. The entire business model was just the email. It's seriously worth the free subscription. Try it and unsub if you don't like it. Or don't. No skin off my back.
"I tried to get a friend to buy something at Monoprice - it was even cheaper there than Amazon.  However Monoprice insist you create yet another account with yet another password before they will let you make a purchase.  Needless to say he said ""screw that"" and made the purchase at Amazon.  It is amazing just how bad many of the alternatives are to Amazon, especially when the competition is Amazon where the user already has an account.  An article - [The $300m button](http://www.uie.com/articles/three_hund_million_button/) - is excellent highlighting the same issue.  Jakob Nielsen also has a [good report on current ecommerce sites](http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ecommerce.html) - note how great the failure rate is.  Back to Monoprice, I did contact them to explain that they were losing sales, explained why, pointed to the $300m button article etc.  They then explained back to me that I needed to create an account on their site before making a purchase.  Duh."
Sure user data is valuable. But valuable enough to be their business model? The math doesn't add up.  If the data is that valuable, then why even charge users in the first place? Letting people in free would certainly generate even more data. Definitely more than what they would have gotten at their $10 price point. If they get twice as many people to jump in at the free price level (not a far fetched assumption) then they would make enough additional money to justify giving it away.  And after a certain point, additional data stops being statistically significant while costs continue to mount paying for all those additional tickets.  Furthermore, the CEO has already said that their business model is to share the additional revenue with the theaters.  I'm not saying that they won't mine their data. They would be fools not to. And they will definitely be able to monetize it. But it's not possible for that alone to be their business model. How can it? Every time they send someone to a new movie, it costs them the full ticket price.
"So you believe people are free to have opinions, act on them. But what is a business except a bunch of people interacting with others? Do you stop being human when you walk through the doors of your work? Using terms like ""companies should provide a service"" sounds like they are staffed by machines, and we should force them to do whatever they want, which is troubling.  In my opinion, companies should be free not to bake cakes for neo-nazis or gay couples. Of course, I would boycott the latter, as would many people, I suspect. The free market forces people to cooperate, because bigoted organization will lose business.  My biggest problem with Paypal's decision is I'm not sure I trust them to determine who is a ""hate group"" fairly, like you said. (Of course, I trust the government even less.) But the good news is if they implement their policy unfairly, then they'll get slapped by the invisible hand and go broke. The free market is one of the freest, most democratic systems we have."
"**First, for every one ""free cookie"" offer on my phone, I will be bombarded with 100 annoying pushy ads.**  Secondly, There's no such thing as free cookie. No free lunch either. No free upgrade.  Trust me on that!  The ""free cookie"" is if only if you buy an expensive coffee.   If they want to give me free cookie, they can stand outside the store with a tray of free cookies or a sign.  Lastly, if it's not forbidden by law, then it needs to have an option to turn off.  Question to you: given the option, would you allow your phones to send you notifications as you pass by?"
"China: ""We are happy to take up the mantle of free trade in the wake of Trump's election.""  Also China: ""You're not allowed to invest in or compete against state owned companies in our domestic market though, even though we're buying up all of yours.""  *free* trade. 🙄"
But if someone already payed for it once, they should consider making it available to others. There is alot of things that costs money but is available for free on the internet today. I find it hard that alot of people with access would not share that kind of info, just to screw with the big guys.

"That's the problem.  The industry says ""our product costs X for this number of uses"".  ""Activists"" say ""but I still want it, so I'm going to find it for free"".       It's hard to see piracy advocates as an army of people fighting for free speech when time and time again, it is just people who want something, but don't feel like paying the going rate."
GnuCash is a free and open-source option.
**Free software**  Free software or libre software is computer software distributed under terms that allow the software users to run the software for any purpose as well as to study, change, and distribute the software and any adapted versions. Free software is a matter of liberty, not price: users, individually or collectively, are free to do what they want with it, including the freedom to redistribute the software free of charge, or to sell it, or charge for related services such as support or warranty for profit.  The right to study and modify software entails availability of the software source code to its users. While this right is often called 'access to source code', the Free Software Foundation recommends to avoid using the word 'access' in this context because it is misleading and may make people believe that they may have a copy of the source code unconditionally.  ***  ^[ [^PM](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=kittens_from_space) ^| [^Exclude ^me](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiTextBot&amp;message=Excludeme&amp;subject=Excludeme) ^| [^Exclude ^from ^subreddit](https://np.reddit.com/r/business/about/banned) ^| [^FAQ ^/ ^Information](https://np.reddit.com/r/WikiTextBot/wiki/index) ^| [^Source](https://github.com/kittenswolf/WikiTextBot)   ^] ^Downvote ^to ^remove ^| ^v0.27
&gt; You are assuming Romney would actually allow for Free Markets, that's a laugh!   Invoking the Free Market Fairy is about all anyone can do anyway. Magic is as magic does.  &gt; You are also assuming Romney would do absolutely nothing. You see, if Romney won and the House stayed republican, we'd see tons of legislation, crony, corrupted, bullshit, but legislation nonetheless.   Yes, yes we would. At the moment the House of Representatives and White House are at odds with each other. When they're on the same side you'll see lots more legislation to support their cronies such as tax cuts, corporate welfare, regulatory protection of broken business models and so forth. Much, *much* more than you see coming through now.  Like I said, you may not think there's a huge difference with Obama in office, but there is a difference.  &gt; Romney is no bigger of a crony capitalism than Obama, considering Obama has not jailed a single big bank executive for their role in the 2008 meltdown, all this talk about how they differ is bullshit.  Romney is **much** more of a crony capitalist than Obama. He doesn't even *try* to give lip service to anyone who isn't in the 1%. That you don't want to see the difference between them doesn't mean it isn't there.  &gt; That's a laugh.  What? There's not a single soul in the entire nation who fits this description? I find that hard to believe.
&gt; A service provider that prevents competition by making it illegal to compete.   I don't know what you mean. There is a lot of competition.  * At least every two years you can replace a majority of the decision makers.  * You are perfectly free to get services from another provider like private roads or charter schools. * you are free to move to another city/county/state which has enacted laws you like. * you are also free to immigrate outside the US if the Federal Government is the issue.  &gt; Every other insurance program allows you to opt out.   You can opt-out any time you like!  I think your objection is that you have to forgo the product that is America to opt-out of the American government service provider.  Do you know of any company that will give you services for free and not exploit you?
"But your idea of ""freedom"" comes with a lack of freedom that I see as being even worse.  If a road is not profitable, it won't be built, right? So all of those roads in the country, that go up mountains, that I love to travel on won't exist?  These corporations have the right to decide who gets to use the roads, right? You're all about the free market, but what if the guy who owns the road to my house jacks up the price or does a crappy job maintaining it?  I just have to move?  It will also be for-profit, which means it will cost more.  You're willing to pay more to use a road because it's your choice as opposed to less for that road because someone made you pay for it?  So it sounds like you're willing to accept a much worse situation just because it's your choice, and not actually because it's better.  Are there any concrete advantages other than choice?"
&gt; fucked over all local coffee shops  Planning permissions aside, I would think the consumers of Brighton did that, not Starbucks. Or did they offer free coffee until all the other coffee shops went bust?  But what do I know, I prefer McDonalds coffee to Starbucks.
There are a lot of cheap or low-cost packages that are quite lucrative but you can be sure that these are not at all private servers but are rented out to several customers so basically you are now paying for the stuff you could have obtained for free on the internet.
Free File is not software by the IRS.  Free File is actually a partnership between the IRS and the Free File Alliance, a group of tax software companies.  The software companies have all agreed to provide a free version of their tax software for low-income taxpayers. According to the Free File Alliance FAQ, the Alliance was formed in 2002 as part of a Presidential initiative to improve electronic access to government.  You can read all the excruciating details of the formal agreement (PDF) between the IRS and the Alliance, but basically, the participating software companies get exposure for their products and the possibility of up-selling services, such as state tax return software.
"They licensed it from another business entity which, presumably, owns them.  I mean, if Starbucks UK could decide tomorrow, ""hey, Starbucks USA is charging us too much for this damn logo, we're gonna rename ourselves Benedicts"" and they were able to rebrand and put up new logos and signage at all their stores… well, then, if that allowed them to *stop* paying this licensing fee then I guess I'd be cool with them *choosing* to continue to pay it. But I suspect that's really not the case, is it?  So I appreciate this is a *hugely* complicated business, but I think there should be limitations on intellectual property licensing to wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries. It allows companies to charge what they like and do what they like, with no reference to the market value of that intellectual property.   I don't get to vote for Romney, because I'm in the UK."
"At any rate, you have your mind made up and did from the get-go, so next time don't pretend you're asking in the spirit of learning or seeing a difference, and just say that you're espousing libertarian ""the free market will take care of everything!"" ideas. At least be upfront about it so people know not to waste their time.  Have a good day."
I think it should be free. Why? I had a coupon for 35, I bought something for 35.01 including taxes and total to pay was 0.01, rounded to 0.00. I think it's almost the same scenario.
I think they give away their shit for free (right?)  but if not... 100% true.  definitely going to be everywhere in China immediately... not even a debate.  people here who doubt this don't work in a Chinese company
The thing cost tens of thousands of dollars to make, not to mention whatever value you may set for Louis CK's comedic mind or the time he personally spent to write and practice the jokes. Why on earth should a well produced and creative piece of hard work be free? How is he supposed to make any money if not by charging for a product?
&gt;If you want socialized health-care then fine, advocate for the government providing this service directly. Attempting to get 'health-care for free' by mandating businesses pay for it is simply a wrong-headed way to go about it that guarantees less employment and less health-care for the poor.  Funny, I seem to recall that being what the left was advocating for... guess who didn't like that idea? If you said conservatives and the business community, you are right!
It has a bit of a learning curve, but I like GNU Cash. (And since it open source, it's free!)
"I am a huge Net Neutrality advocate and I too didn't have any issue with the ""Free Basics"" program itself. As a business Facebook should be free to market any product they choose that they feel will advance the business. However I disagree vehemently with their ability to market it as ""internet"" access. This was an attempt to build another AOL not offer free/low cost internet access to burgeoning markets."
Remember both sides of the isle are playing the American public against each other. Don't let them win! Most Americans want the same things.   Random Quote:  *The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.* - **John Adams**
"Really? Why do you think that if they were any good they would be available through regular channels? I like Tupperware. And so do a lot of people-that's why there were so many companies who created their own versions.   Also, what do you mean by a legalized pyramid scheme? I've heard that before and always wondered. My understanding is that a pyramid scheme is based solely on the recruitment of people, and that the ""buy in"" is what pays the people up at the top of the pyramid, and there are no products or services of value rendered."
