Maybe this is why
How would the marketing budget affect blind taste tests?
Mountain Dew has a strong flavor but is still low amplitude since the "blitz" or main flavor is easily identifiable. You would make billions if you could figure out how to add salt and fat to a mountain dew.
> When something is high in amplitude, all its constituent elements converge into a single gestalt. You can’t isolate the elements of an iconic, high-amplitude flavor like Coca-Cola or Pepsi. But you can with one of those private-label colas that you get in the supermarket. “The thing about Coke and Pepsi is that they are absolutely gorgeous,” Judy Heylmun, a vice-president of Sensory Spectrum, Inc., in Chatham, New Jersey, says. “They have beautiful notes—all flavors are in balance. It’s very hard to do that well. Usually, when you taste a store cola it’s”— and here she made a series of pik! pik! pik! sounds—“all the notes are kind of spiky, and usually the citrus is the first thing to spike out.
Mountain Dew is citrus. Doritos is nacho cheese. There is no higher order flavors here. They are strong flavors. But they lack the "balance" of creations.
I certainly wouldn't call coke or pepsi bland or inoffensive. They are certainly familiar since we have all had them hundreds of times. The article does a good job of explaining why the store brand sodas don't capture the same market share.
And, yes, mayo and poundcake are "bland" and "unexciting". But I've had some pretty terrible homemade mayo and poundcakes.
The whole point of the article was to explain why this does not work. Low amplitude foods spike in one category eg "Worlds Best" had the highest "tomato" score but failed in other areas. The reason people are not buying it in droves is because heinz has all 5 components in harmony.
The music analogy was perfect also. Take your personal favorite bands and songs and imagine their works being played by musicians in training. The results would not be as impressive.
It will be $500 more expensive since "pro" users can afford it.
For apple engineers or for the customers? The words from apple make it seem like the goal is to improve modularity so that apple can make easier changes.
Find some meaning\goal and work to it. Trying to put a number or fixed value on something so nebulous is a waste of time.
* He said he used a pro trump account and then said he didn't. Both can't be true so we know he is a liar\lying about this incident.
* He donated money to a pro trump org
* His girlfriend is\was a trump supporter
* His 'like'ing pattern seems to fall in line with what a Trump supporter may do
Maybe he is a libertarian now. Maybe not. It is very difficult to tell because he seems to have an issue with honesty and his actions are not aligning with his words.
Going against the grain has, and will always be a dangerous proposition and no amount of thought policing will change that.
No. He may be a libertarian. If I told you I was a democrat and then donated to republican groups, what would you call me? If my girlfriend publicity supported republicans? At some point you really have to start looking at actions and not words.
My initial rebuke to your argument is simple: Words are extremely cheap. He claims NOW that he is a libertarian but his actions say otherwise. He has also demonstrated a willingness to lie. You can see his comments here where he confirms and then denies that he posted under the account in question: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/09/22/palmer-luck...
I don't find any of this "flimsy" or circumstantial. He backed the wrong guy and then backtracked when he got exposed and trump's nastiness started to really come to light.
Again, I almost feel bad for him. But this lying little Trumpkin helped elect trump, and for that, I will not make excuses and try and defend him. He pushed some cool tech but that doesn't put him beyond reproach.
If you give money to a pro-trump group, you shouldn't be surprised if people call you a trump supporter: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/palmer-luckey-alt...
To have a career and your basic needs plus some met? no
To be an industry leader\ceo of wealthy company? evidence suggests it wouldn't hurt to be a bit "flexible" (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/03/21/apparently-psychopaths-make-g...)
