The entrepreneur–Dallas Mavericks owner–Shark Tank host–crypto enthusiast has launched the Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company, an online pharmacy that promises lower prices on over 100 medications, including ones commonly prescribed for high cholesterol and hypertension.
To lower costs, Cuban cut out the middleman, setting up his own pharmaceutical wholesaler and negotiating directly with drug manufacturers and pharmacies for rebates and discounts. It sells the drugs at manufacturers price + a 15% markup to fund the business and an added $3 pharmacist fee. Shipping is $5.
Among the discounted drugs is mesalamine, which treats ulcerative colitis. Normally, that retails for $940 per month, which falls as low as $102 per month with vouchers. Cuban Cost Plus will sell it for $32.40 per month. Atorvastatin (a generic version of cholesterol medicine Lipitor) generally sells for $55.08, but will cost $3.60 on Cuban Cost Plus, the company website said.
The venture will not accept insurance payments at this time, requiring cash, but it claims its prices are still below what patients would pay with insurance at a typical pharmacy.
Some of the notable medications the pharmacy offers are:
Imatinib (Gleevec) - Cancer drug
>>Retail price: $2,502.50 per month
>>Cost Plus price: $17.10 per month
>>Savings: $2,485.40 per month
Abacavir (Epzicom) - HIV
>>Retail price: $1,096.10
>>Cost Plus price: $57.60
>>Savings: $1,038.50
Big edit about some tax stuff I had wrong below:
I'm in the US Southwest, so residential solar is quite popular with 300+ days of sun per year. Solar companies and sales pitches have always reeked of scam, especially when I get half a dozen unsolicited knocks on my door each summer about them. I'm pretty sure that solar salespeople are looked upon less kindly than used-car salespeople around here. I went ahead and took one of these sales pitches since I started looking into solar myself just a few weeks ago. I now count myself among those who hold them in lower regard than used-car salespeople.
tl;dr - They don't like to be transparent about actual costs and will make it seem like you get a tax refund for installing solar (you don't), and hide the fact that you will either owe them the value of that tax credit as a lump sum or pay even more over the life of the loan. It takes asking the right questions and doing the math yourself to get this information. The base information here really applies to any large purchase. Check the amounts, check the interest, check the fine print, shop around.
Call starts with the sales person asking some (obviously pre-written) cognitive behavioral therapy-esque questions to try to soften you up to say yes: "Tell me, why do you think most people want solar?" "What are the benefits of solar?" "why do you want solar" etc.
Then he moves into details on the system size and currently monthly costs on-grid.
Key things to know yourself ahead of time for this part of the discussion - your actual average monthly cost (they inflated mine a few dollars), your average and total yearly energy usage (in kWh). I also broke it down by month so I could see how many months a system of X production would cover completely/not cover. This information can be a bit trickier to determine as it relies on knowing your solar hours/month. I found this page from Solar Reviews to be helpful in determining system sizing and monthly solar hours.
So I knew that my average monthly cost over the last year was $123.63, average kWh/mo use was 800, peak was 2100, total was 9520 and my solar hours/month were 192. With my monthly breakdown I found that 5kW system would provide enough energy to power my home completely (and then some) for 9 months of the year. Our local utility has a net metering program, so excess power generated can either be credited toward future us

I'm on a business plan with three lines on Unlimited Plus. I'm trying to take advantage of the 2-year contract phone upgrade pricing AT&T is offering. Retention is telling me it's not possible without raising the $20 per-line fee for all of my lines, but I see many people getting upgrades without raising their monthly fee on the consumer side.
Is this possible on the business side?

I was following through the pre-order calculation and found this strange cost added out of nowhere. Does anyone know what it's for?
I work in Chinese restaurant my parents own, almost all our dishes don't include labour cost, we only profit off of food margins. Last year our ribs went up in cost like crazy we were barely making $4 per rack. Again this isn't even including labour cost.
We have another employee he used to own a restaurant as well. We all have conversations about western Chinese food that meals always going be dead cheap even though we put just the same amount of labour as any other restaurant. They all know this and with minimum wage at $15/ hour in Ontario next year. They keep saying you can't increase cost in Chinese food cause no one will eat it. I just slap my forehead I get so annoyed.
I just wish some of you guys see all the labour in making egg rolls, chicken balls and garlic spare ribs and all the stupid sauces. The amount of standing doing same repetitive shit over and over again by the wok and deep fryer and we don't even charge labour, your salary will almost never reach $60k CAD a year in Ontario.
I love cooking here, but honestly if the amount of work we do and barely even a 30 minute break each day cause Chinese people almost don't believe in that crap, they just eat bunch of crackers or snacks we prepare our chefs and go back to work. I never seen any of our chefs go on smoke breaks or coffee breaks at coffee shops, drive somewhere in middle of their shift. And please note alot of Chinese cooks are in their mid 40s and barely know any English, they just work and everything else is fuck all.
Anyways good luck to everyone new eyes eve tomorrow. We're pretty much fucked tomorrow too
As a percentage of variable manufacturing costs
The Variable manufacturing costs are:
- 1,125,000 + 775,000 + 840,000 = 2,740,000
I'm not sure where to go from here. I know I'll have to divide something by the variable manufacturing costs to obtain the percentage. I'm not seeing what to add at the moment. I thought of adding the operating income with all the fixed & variable costs to arrive at the revenue. Trying to think if that brings me closer to the answer.
Thanks for anyone who helps!
Hello, I'm having trouble finding a free or low cost API for futures pricing data. For example, symbol KC1! or RC1! that you can find in trading view. Apparently this data comes from ICE and costs around $120/mo per exchange (ICE US, ICE Europe, etc).
I'm finding that Yahoo Finance through RapidAPI doesn't show these symbols, or other financial data feeds that I can find through RapidAPI.
I'm fine with a delayed feed for now.
Thanks for any info!
I get it. Back in the day you could spend $20 on an expansion pack and get two dozen hours of quality content, so why should anybody accept that it costs $20 for a piece of armor? The answer is simple. It's not 2002 anymore.
Getting onto your perch and screaming about how things used to be ignores modern realities. Lootboxes still aren't dead, even if Battlefront II diminished their prospects significantly. There are games where people spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for a mere chance to get something specific that they want. The ability to spend money for a guarantee that you'll get what you want is a luxury that a lot of modern games simply don't have.
By all means, argue that $20 for a piece of armor is too expensive. By all means argue that they shouldn't bundle things together like a Gamestop Executive to force people to overpay for an item when they only wanted one thing in the bundle. But if you genuinely believe that everything should be free, you're either somebody who has no disposable income or somebody who just can't get over how the industry has changed since consoles first got internet connections.
Halo: Infinite is going to be supported for years. This isn't a Call of Duty or a Battlefield that gets an annual release. If you spend money on an armor, you're going to have that armor in a supported game with regular content updates. You don't have to worry about them suddenly pulling the switch and shutting the servers down because they want you to buy Halo: Infinite 2. But that peace of mind costs money, since Microsoft has to keep paying all of 343's employees on-top of trying to recoup all of their investments from the game's production.
We're in an era where it takes a decade for a game to be made. We used to get a new Elder Scrolls every three years. We used to get a new Grand Theft Auto every two years. But as I said, times have changed. You can't expect things to be the same forever.
Is there anywhere I can find something that explains dfinity's pricing as compared to a traditional Web 2.0 stack?
Case; my application needs storage, data in/out, compute, scaling options, RAM & CPU - all the usual things.
As a developer how do I compare those costings with say AWS or Google Cloud?
Thanks
My client wants to offer a product with numerous attributes as well as a variable subscription period.
For example, they would like the product to do the following:
Choose A, B, or C (B+C have increasing upcharges)
Choose D, E, or F (E+F have increasing upcharges)
Choose G, H or I (H+I have increasing upcharges)
How many would you like per week? (3 choices)
How many weeks would you like to subscribe? (3 choices)
I'm wracking my brain trying to figure this out in WooCommerce.
I have both attributes and custom fields set up for each of these options which would allow me to do formula based pricing (with custom fields), however when I get to the subscription period I need to use the variables setting so that I can set it to charge them every month or three months, etc. This price has to be entered manually. If I generate variables from all attributes I end up with 243 variations which would all need a price manually entered. That's gonna be terrible if the client wants to tweak things in the future. Is there any easier way to do this? I would appreciate any advice.
