    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Few times i've seen ads appear as perfect cliffhangers. With modern AI it's very possible to analyse speech on video and detect common exciting moments and put ad before they happen. Not sure if google does this, but with their vast resources its possible.

    Are patents worth it?

    It depends on country - if European, you might get some mileage, but if its China then from what i've read you get nothing.

    What Is So Hard About Entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    This answer will probably not be most popular but i would say it's at least 80% correct. So without further ado: It's hard because people want to make it hard. I would call reaction of "No kid! BS! You don't understand! How dare you!" to kind of knee jerk reaction and its awaited. But when...

    Are patents worth it?

    Speed, you made that go too far. Actually patents are there to encourage innovation. If there were no patents Grug wouldn't invent the wheel. He would say "if i will create better transport than legs, and everybody will copy it for free than why should i invent anyway?". Gosh i'm getting too...

    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    There is a thing with TV recently that i stopped watching it. Not as in cord-cutter movement or anything aspirational but just because ads blocks got so lengthy that i was losing interest in whatever i was watching. Not sure why is that, i guess maybe length of ads exceeded my attention span...

    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    They installed a lot of solar panels (1.6 million of those) and are or will be running on those. The real problem is you watch 6-10 minutes videos. When you watch normal TV you get 30 minutes of content before ads kick in. But at youtube you get ad every 2-3 minutes and that's ruining any...

    Is there a market for inventing languages?

    The knock part is the only part that is humorous. Basically if you will create something that allows secret communication FBI will come to you with "an offer" that you will have to accept. Most of the time such communication channels would be used by criminals so gov is stopping such attempts...

    YouTube's recent TOS change - a perfect example of Control

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Last time i've read about it, revenue was around $10b. At that time they were barely profitable. So if they got additional $5b then maybe it turned for better for them. But wouldn't call that solid. As far as i know "content acquisition" isn't ongoing cost of running business. So those servers...

    SaaS for doctors: There's need, why aren't competitor products being used yet?

    Some people do. Especially older. I'm with @Ing here, but good luck, no point sitting around doing nothing.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Those post by people made me smile ironically. They think that if they don't have to pay for it then its somehow magically free for google. Like if bandwidth, servers and engineers worked as a donation from some charity. I've read somewhere that YouTube has running cost to the tune of few...

    SaaS for doctors: There's need, why aren't competitor products being used yet?

    SAAS / APPS 
    There might be three things: 1. It's a nice have - maybe patients have enough time and don't mind spending it in line. Also, its not like that without such system everything will break apart. 2. People might be accustomed to what they do already. Having them use such solution would require...

    Are patents worth it?

    've read that 5% of retail price is max of what licensors can expect when selling via chain stores. So 2% is also in "possible" category. Design patents give very little protection. Basically if someone changes some 1% of your design, then they are free to go. As far as i've read, design...

    Should I feel bad about 50% discount?

    MARKETING 
    Give em 50% coupon for future purchases of something else. You could also offer discount to new clients but bind to some external event - Black Friday or other - with limited time or end date, then discontinue it. I share your opinion that giving others 50%, after one bought it, leaves bad...
