@jaimzuber Is that the only variable that matters?

What about:
- what competitors are charging
- what customers are willing to pay
- price elasticity of demand

@jaimzuber Price more compared to what?

@pauldm Meaning, if you’re brand new and unproven, you might need to price lower in order to earn trust.

RT @mijustin: Generally, your pricing should reflect:

- the value you give,
- the market segment you're targeting,
- the economy (weak/str…

@justin_royer @KateBour @ronaldbaker Did you read my whole thread?

@morganandrewv Are you sure that’s the most widely held definition?

@cnagele @Wildbit Love it. ❤️

@ninjaparade I buy a roaming plan

@AlexanderRichey Nice! I’m going to try this out. 👍

@ninjaparade We just switched to Public Mobile and really like it. Our bill is probably 50% cheaper.

@vivgui Thanks Vivian!

@brian_lovin Thanks Brian!

@_francislavoie Haha. It’s pronounced JOOOOOONTA

@neilkeena @AttendanceK @tailwindcss @JigsawByTighten Nice!

A few things that might help anchor @AttendanceK in my mind:

- Is this a replacement for Eventbrite for my conference?
- is this a replacement for Meetup for my local event?

@paidinsights @TransistorFM @statamic @tailwindcss @1PercentFTP I will!

@dchymko Lame

@jonfriesen Looks like it worked!

@kovlex Yup

@seb_sebsn But, does that storage technology exist?

From what I’ve seen, battery technology can’t provide that kind of power at scale.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-big-batteries-at-data-centers-could-replace-power-plants/

@seb_sebsn Do we have easy ways though?

How can solar power a data center day and night, without using other (non-renewable) power sources connected to a grid?

- Devops
- HR

@petersuhm Yes, I hard that in university too.

The problem is our economic model has always been incompatible with the ecological model.

Ecologists have a very different viewpoint on economic growth. 😉

@petersuhm It seems like we are becoming more efficient, but overall consumption is still higher than the planet can withstand.

It feels like all we can do is "cause the least amount of harm possible" and hope for the best.

@petersuhm Except, this doesn't appear to be true, in practice:
https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/12/why-growth-cant-be-green/

@brhea @GemmaBlackUK @digitaltrouble Lol so good.

@beberlei Ah, wait I get it now.

You're saying actually consumption doesn't increase; just the cost of that consumption.

@beberlei I don't think I understand what you're saying. Can you point me to a resource that explains this more fully?

@pjrvs 🙌 yes! Nice work.

@GemmaBlackUK @digitaltrouble @brhea +1

@natalienagele @Wildbit @cnagele Incredible! Congrats! 🎉

@ScottHYoung Yeah, I wrote about this back in 2016. I should update it!

It's still not a perfect solution though. Thousands of tangible inputs go into making intangible goods.

@PMJtweets I compounded it annually at 2%.

@borekb The more I dig into both, the more I see they're not wrong.

@erwblo One foundational reason revenue needs to grow is inflation.

You might have enough to pay salaries today, but if you want to keep up with inflation, you'll need to increase salaries (which would require revenue growth).

@dohertyjf Can you explain what you mean (in this context) when you say "business and economy are different."

Do you mean this with respect to growth?

@dbchhbr Yes. But if someone (like Andrew McAfee) is presenting solutions, they have to stand up to rigorous assessment; otherwise, it's no better than believing in fantasy.

From what I've seen, McAfee's theory doesn't properly account for externalities.

https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/capitalism-will-save-the-world/

@dbchhbr I'm familiar with Andrew McAfee's decoupling argument. (And emotionally, I wish it was true because it's satisfying for the optimist in me)

But, pragmatically, dematerialization doesn't satisfy the meta-problems I'm describing here.

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/613845/the-planet-has-a-fever-and-the-cure-is-more-capitalism-a-prominent-economist-argues/

@dbchhbr Up until this point in history, economic growth has depended on those three things. 😉

Unless you've found a counterexample I haven't seen yet?

@JeanCHoffman For bootstrappers, this is the approach that works.

But even in the venture funded space:

- SpaceX and Twitter are outliers (and aren’t yet demonstrably good businesses yet)
- Tesla and Apple both entered existing categories where folks were already spending money

@itengelhardt Wow

@Patticus In gaming, doesn’t pricing work this way?

Sell the game systems at a loss, make your money selling games and accessories.

@mdbrad This is a really cool idea, but we don’t have a public API (yet!)
