The most exciting phrase that heralds a new discovery is not "eureka!" but "holy shit!"

Is that why?! (It's not.)

Jeff Bezos can't use signal because Amazon uses... a pricing algorithm? Call me a bootlicker but that's insane.

Ok Hegel

I hope so, these protestors are accepting blood money every time a direct deposit from Google hits their bank account or their stocks vest! Surely they'd want to keep their moral integrity intact and quit if their demands are not met.

It's totally legit. They made the participants sign an honesty pledge before answering the questionnaire!

I think this is what's caused "try-hard".

I can point you to a sustainability internship in Kenya if you're interested.

Wow, articles about emerging technologies are pushed by people who invest in them? On their blog!? You don't say!

I winced at this. I once got my finger caught in a zipper.

No you see, at any moment this company can get acquired and can start pushing malware as updates. It's quite an elementary mistake to not account for this possibility, and the author of this post should hang their head in shame for even pretending to have a solution. /s

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

A person with this kind of mindset will tell less-developed nations to stop developing fossil fuel infrastructure because any more impact on the planet is unjustified.

The difference is merely the essential part of meme stocks that make them meme stocks and not just a pump-and-dump scheme executed by some guy. Other than that, though, totally the same thing.

GOOD point!

They must be the 7% of the population not covered by BLS stats when working out the CPI, assuming they're from US, or living in a remote area. Agree that overall, the population has been growing richer for several decades. But what about us folks who subsisted off of GPUs and used cars in 2021-2022? The reality for us is way different.

I mean, how much we talking here? We're not in Atlantis with flying cars, but there's immense efficiency gains in logistics.

I had a similar thought. I thought "wow, believable!" but not to be flippant, the initial wow was genuine.

Think of it as a performance review, but with reversed roles.

Wow they must be making millions on this lucrative market, defending DDoS providers from each other. An infinite money glitch!

How??

Japan has adopted LTR long ago in TV and the web. Never seen a Japanese site formatted vertically. Newspapers and books are still vertical, but it's not really difficult to read one way or the other.

We'll have to get them to promise to be honest before they fill out the questionnaire to maximize the chance they we'll get honest data. I think I read that somewhere.

Lots of synergies indeed. And gig workers!

Well a lot of the sub-$500 petty theft are done by junkies trying to get their fix for the day, and with opiate addiction getting worse, not better, in the US, there are many of these types and the day-by-day thefts add up over the years. Throwing a repeat offender in jail for a couple weeks is often the only time a junkie will kick, so it kind of does solves the root problem for these individuals. Even some hard-ass jurisdictions have half way houses.

Source: me, an ex junkie, and had junkie friends. Go ahead and write this off as an anecdote, but it's an anecdote repeated thousands upon thousands of times.

I am barely smarter than a five year old and also think this is a disaster of an idea.

Money

And today it's driven by bad policy. Heyoo!

?????

Illiterate or not, with this system, you can "read" the order at a glance rather than having to read a list of items or decoding a set of symbols. That might shave a second per order.

Another point, ink in markers run out and thermal printers frequently run out of paper at inopportune times. I presume condiments are well stocked. No hunting for a new marker or fetching a new roll of receipt paper with this system.

Bingo! This, and people will probably pay money for it in the future. A killer combo that makes something worth money!
