It’s not accurate though (see other comments). The one I’m amazed by is the assertion that “ The supermarket pays for everything on its store shelves (except, rarely, for certain new products on a consignment basis in which case it only sales for units actually sold)” which is leaving a lot of money off the table

Supermarkets might pay for the product, but Kellogg’s, Budweiser, etc pay them for shelf space, eye level, end of aisle placement, etc. there is a dozen ways they make money off the sellers. Supermarkets don’t just pay for product as a textbook marketplace

I want Facebook to stop tracking me, not enable more of it. Which does this enable?

I read your message a few times, but your concatenation of concepts and words for no apparent reason makes this entirely not understandable. If you're going to make things up, at least explain yourself.

More marketing material than tech spec. A user manual is hundreds of pages, not five pages and a nice cover.

It’s been 9 months... they still have to pay rent and equipment costs and staff

I’m more talking about less than or equal to 12 months. It takes months of investment of my company to train a new hire. At 12 months they’re likely just becoming an effective employee and the investment is starting to see returns.

Leaving early means the investment wasn’t worth it (compared to hiring someone who doesn’t job hop)

How did you get the invites? Was this a job fair?

An unwise hobby. I know recruiters and hiring managers that see low tenure jobhopping as a red flag

Anchoring bias is a better name for this flaw. Either way, the handful of examples provided here are.. random? This post has poor depth and breadth, akin to a listicle

I'm searching for an intro to miniKanren that's also an intro to logic programming. Ive never used datalog, clojure, or others. The main miniKanren website assumes preexisting Scheme / logic programming knowledge

Any suggestion of where to start?

Isn't the academic journal peer review process generally an anonymous feedback mechanism? Why does this need to be different?

In submitting this great story, I discovered HN wont let you submit stories with <html> tags (the title has <blink>). I wonder why it's not treated the same as this text field

I always open these links hoping to find some new source or concept on note-taking, thinking, meta learning etc. But Im dissapointed by the continuous flow of shallow hustle porn material

Looking at the more substantial link that you provided now, thanks for sharing!

I noticed this too. Even though it was facing the wrong way, I think engineering classes will still find it valuable to dissect the first and second order effects on these cables over time

I'm amazed they had a drone up there to catch that. Were they flying drones multiple times a day just to catch this footage?

1000 citations is A LOT. I think the person you're responding to is that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Popular people get quoted regardless if their paper is actually impactful and that it's, unfortunately, often a popularity contest. People are lazy and only read/cite popular papers

I don't understand NAV premiums when it comes to ETH. What does this mean?

What kind of auth & logging does TimescaleDB offer? Is every request authenticated & authorized?

>Most officials pushing for restrictions are compromising their public goodwill (and [re]electability) to try to save lives.

The governor of CA violated his own rules to attend a party while demanding others dont

The first couple weeks, I was all "let's stay inside" and "those people are wreckless!" and "ok, those partygoers were egregious, fine them!"

After a few weeks I realized it was mostly to reduce hospital load.

It's been 9+ months now, and it wont end anytime next year. If a government leader thinks they can put pandora back in the box at this point, by taking more liberties away, they're a fool

What's the difference here? How can GAAP profit and net income be nearly a billion dollars in difference? I thought GAAP was standard accounting? What kind of operational losses are not included in GAAP

I said "where gross negligence and gross fraud are mostly avoided"

I know about Worldcom Enron AIG Lehman... Gross fraud and negligence still isn't condoned. Buying the index is still better than trying to guess which of the 500 aren't performing fraud. Laugh all you want; best of luck to you

Ya, weekly builds on Monday morning for a gaming company with multiple teams makes sense. They could slice it up across their teams even for better TCO

I buy index. I have a portfolio of 500 large American companies, who are publicly traded, and follow SEC regulations, where gross negligence and gross fraud are mostly avoided, and which maybe a third also have global operations.

It’s a basket of restive safe equity, diversified across industry but not much in terms of nationality. Beyond that I don’t know what’s in it and don’t particularly need to care

Thanks for sharing. At what point does something like this become a PhD thesis level topic and not "just" a paper quality topic?

I would like to find the same thing for online ebook/textbook readers that University websites use. Suggestions?

Every online reader I've used ProQuest, VLE, BCR, etc offer the worst online readers with frames, annoying 15 minute timeouts, terrible highlighting/notes, etc

I just want to print or download a local copy to highlight & full text search offline (I run them through OCR for text)

"K8s networking is just typical networking."

K8 networking is far more complex than typical networking and with less visibility

Eventually something you agree with or think is reasonable will be censored by a corporation. censorship is always a problem

No. Better to let law enforcement & the family consider that then speculate on an internet forum without any substantial or additional information.

A delivery to ten houses from one delivery truck is less carbon than ten household cars driving to the store (10 roundtrips). Or more likely, 2-3 different stores per each household.

What you propose would reverse that and increase carbon.

Its also worth pointing out theyre moving to electric delivery vans
