- Yesterday spent the day in San Bernardino again.
- Notes from art meeting Tuesday:
- Prices drop after the usual patent (10yr?) expires, allowing generic meds to flood.
- AWP = average wholesale price. There are usually hot items that have low awp and high resell value. Knowing these waves is much easier if you work in the industry.
- Redirects and utm query params can identify the majority of traffic induced by our hub. Probably not close to 100%, but maybe ~70%?
- LOTS of domain names are taken.
- Can have public accounts for otc and pharmacy accounts for rx.
- Applications take a few days and require signatures, etc. Some are even still mail, not digital. Abstracting all of this into a universal application has value on its own, even without the price comparisons. We’d aim to do both.
- Getting a read-only account is another option. This seems more core to the principles of the idea. Completely skip all buying capability, just show prices. No account, nothing. Simpler.
- Befriending a vendor would be huge at this stage. Could give details on price margins, traffic amounts, value of our product, etc.
- Identity Politics. It’s something I’ve always been familiar with, but never knew the formal name for. Individual identity should come before group identity. Tribalism has historically ended in violence, and our modern world continues to confirm this. So much political conflict twirled around race, gender, etc.
- PW/MD.
- Checked mail. The solium check which was shipped on May 15, eight days ago, with a delivery method that cost $20, has not arrived yet 🙂
- Bought brisket from costco. Trimmed and brined. Also bought jelly bellies for the counting game.
- Bought prizes (drinks) from vons, as well as ring toss bottles (perrier lime lol).
- Wow, this pharmarket alternative already exists: https://www.ezrirx.com/
- Based in New Jersey. Founded 2016. They have the universal application, price comparison, and in-situ purchasing :/
- We’ll create an account to see the list of wholesalers. If it’s not that many vendors, the market is still open.
- Even if it’s legit, we have another model that may work: no account, no buying power. Just show up to the site and compare prices, like kayak. The hard part about this is it involves uprooting the status quo. We’d basically have to convince vendors to publish their prices.
- In order to fully immerse someone in an experience, you must attend to as many senses as possible. Think of a date: a scene with candles, chocolate, music, flowers, and physical touch is much more impressive than an alternative with any one sense missing.
