It could, but then who'd be the ones fighting and dying in the war to make new opportunities for the survivors?

They do it through uber eats now, but they've always done it. At least for some locations depending on the manger and market. Honestly, I preferred it back then before Uber. The food was better packaged and it came faster without having to que my order up from a driver picking it up at an order window.

I don't understand why BigCo would ever go with the last option after talent exhaustion. The former two make way more sense.

Ya, on my reading for english classes I'd do that for my reading assignments. For my engineering and programming classes, i'd take copious notes. It was entirely wonderful. I'd stay at the store from open till close and enjoy all those hours.

Be careful taking in this new direction as anything more than marketing PR. As you've stated before, I don't even think this time, it's anything more than the marketing department speaking for everyone. Mozilla has had weak statements on previous PR controversy's before. On a longer timescale, the organization will change it's position again due to economic and cultural pressures.

For an app that I no longer use, long since deleted and have forgotten about, hearing that there was a security incident that compromised my password is unsettling. I was relieved that I logged in to their app through twitter and my password wasn't store through them.

that 30B in sales is revenue and not a profit. You combine all stuff sales they do together in all their warehouses and logistics and they don't combine together enough to beat the money that their AWS brings in. That 30B revenue costs almost 30B in expenses as well. You take out revenue in the form of advertising and it's almost nothing or negative depending on the quarter. As impressive as the revenue is, it's nothing if you can't turn a profit as a business. Anybody can buy something at wholesale, ship it to your door , not make any money on it and then take it back if it the company is unsatisfied.

It was a great device from the get go. the resolution on such a large device is a game changer. detail all the spec you want, but holding it physically in your hands you'd experience what I can't describe. The reading and stylus input is very close to natural paper. Thanks, but I didn't need another shill blogpost about how it works for their coding workflow especially when it was wrong in the first place.

Look at their budget. Most of their revenue comes from AWS. So their large AWS clients are their customers. The margins on the retailing e-commerce customers is slim and wasn't profitable on a cashflow basis until recent years. From a financial perspective, they're the people who are going to stock the items and take the risk for products where demand is uncertain. Once more data is collected about their sales, Amazon will use their scale to undercut their e-commerce selling partners. So they are important to their company logistics, just not to the bottom line.

This Amazon approach reminds me of how Apple used to do it in the final years of Jobs' executive-ship at the company. He'd send terse replies to people who e-mailed and and for large problems he'd float it to his top lieutenants concerning why the experience sucks so much.

It's good enough that for the average consumer, they'd never decide to look in to the source code, edit it and then reload the page with the changes. However this type of stuff just allows someone to easily come along with a counterforce app and scale the paywall.

Washington Post and NYT are what the President of the United States says is fake news. At the same time, they're limiting the audience of their coverage to subscribers only beyond a few free articles a month. I wonder how ordinary people who can't/won't pay for subscriptions will receive their information to make up their minds after this retreat.

Read the story but they're very short on the data. cited a job fair in Nagoya which had 40 Koreans. Then a Korean job search firm that placed the most people to work in Japan out of any country. Is it just me or is the article short on enough evidence to make this a piece?

I clicked on it b/c it made to the front page and I read the entire article but I can't understand why he doesn't like to use react.

thanks for putting it clearly and succinctly. I think that's a much better view than what a lot of self improvement books offer.

Ideas are fascinators and the most interesting of which will find audiences. Those audiences will not depose of those ideas easily. It's a not an entirely novel new concept. I think of the spread of a religion throughout most of human history. Stoya wasn't talking about some high minded conceptual idea when she chose her stage name, but rather something she just connected to at a point in her life.

It's true, they're the only ones actually putting people on payroll to send them out to areas, do interviews and original investigation. Everybody else is just reaggreggating others from other news outlets, social media and public documents with their own analysis. But even the big mainstream companies suck at local reporting for their own towns. For things that are not national federal news you have to really get it from other people.

It's true. I've dined at a three star Michelein and even they've felt the pressure to turn the tables for more guests/profits. It was done very subtly with an invitation to visit take a tour of the entire restaurant and kitchen, then I ended up at the bar and lounge with my party afterwords. It was all fine, but I'd have preferred sitting at the table.

I'd expand that negativity not only to the media writers but societal culture in general. We live in a culture of snark where anything done is torn down and picked apart. These critics have never built anything, accomplished anything themselves. I suppose though, this is better than the alternative of people slurping and ingratiating themselves to everything.

Fuck this made me realize how shitty many of my grade school science teachers were. The go to response was always the rote textbook answer and never at all sparked any interest for me at all. They themselves probably learned the lesson the night right before then taught it in the classroom.

trampoline might be the bad example because there is some physics involved and smaller shorter bodies are easier to move while they bounce. Children can literally do backflips easier the same way that if they took a fall they wouldn't get hurt nearly as much.

suggesting that we protect our spaces and our time for non-instrumental, non-commercial activity and thought, for maintenance, for care, for conviviality

wonderful sentiment. Too many occassions pass where we miss out on these moments because we're worried too much about productivity.

totally opposite problem for the iPhone in the front for me. looking at a phone beyond just finding out the time while sitting at the desk was a hassle for me. Bad angle for both phone and neck. Having the phone picked up and the censor in the front was too unnatural and required too much dexterity I didn't possess.

correllation not causation

well now it's another reason to hate the we company. I'm sure exceptions are always being made, just OP wasn't able to become one of them. As it stands, a business should have some capacity to take in some walk in prospective clients without scheduling.

I'd actually use that clutter around gmail and I have my settings on for the densest text, so this isn't an extension for myself or everybody. That G-mail logo on the upper left on the screen needs to go though. He's right about that.

well, you're assuming that its' only an hour of folding a week. It's highly variable for different people. But for families that do fold most of their clothes (and folding is the better way to store your clothes than just hanging it), many would spend over an hour doing it. My wife does most the laundry and we got two kids. It's a good half a day to clean all our weekly clothes, towels and sheets. There's a market for this product you put it in the exact way that explains why it failed.

former user of their product. originally presented to me as a chrome alternative with the ad-block built right into the browser itself and not as a javascript extension. But as the product has evolved, they've changed in ways to monetize it themselves. While they still block ads, they're deciding which ads they want to block now based on how sponsors compensate them. As a bonus, they're throwing you back a bone to put up with their new business model. Brave has inserted itself as a new middleman between the advertisers and web users.

A top heavy old partner institutional firm is not a bad thing. The they're usually hands off once you invest and take their money. The problem is they're too conservative with their capital, and only invest in trends that have passed by decades ago to pursue the next big thing. As an entrepeneur in the dining and technology space knows how and where I want to grow my company, I'd rather see my angel investment funders come from the old cohort than the younger firms seeking radical changes.

interesting. Organizing isn't free and even if it's just a casual group without an explicit code of conduct, people don't just show up for no reason. They look for other people and see who else is showing up. There is an organizer. Whether it's the venue owner, who will tell you they're not going to do a meeting because of a holiday, or a core group of regular attendees who rely on each other to show up and get a signal of whether or not there will be enough of a quorum to launch a game/discussion. Sometimes people on the outside will show up not knowing, and find out that the meeting has been canceled. It's only when the rules become too onerous and exclusionary that people decide not to join in. In a board game group, the rules are kind of reinforced through people who don't show up on time not being able to be in a game and wait. In a study group or book club it can get annoying as hell catching up the person up to speed so they don't recover something that they missed out on because of lateness.
