IKEA is actually a köttbullar and lingonsylts (lingonberry jam) distribution system so that us Smålänningar can get our fix almost anywhere in the world.
Ikea has optimized the price and durability of an item to maximize utility for both the end user and the corp. People like getting new stuff for cheap and dont value resale or reuse. Ikea is an excellent machine for turning Borneo rain forest into landfill at the lowest price.
You obviously have never bought anything second hand. Ikea items are extremely popular and easy to sell used.
Here’s what I never understood - how come Tether (the company) never arbitraged the USDT/USD pair when it traded at a premium? Seems like easy money for them.

> It’s a phenomenally good deal for them at the moment

The problem here is in the at the moment. MoviePass trains consumers to see the experience of going to the movies as effectively worth nothing. That is very bad for theaters, because when MoviePass goes away they will be left with a product---with small margins---that consumers see as incredibly expensive.

How does this deal with data regions? Do you have an array type that explicitly recides on GPU, i.e. to pass it to a CPU routine like file i/o you need to wrap CUDAmemcopy? or does it manage the device state?
It’s ok looking furniture at decent prices if you’re just a little bit careful when picking stuff from them. They’re the perfect company for very mobile clients, such as myself, as I’ve been moving houses at an average at one every 2-3 years for the past 15 years, it would have been even more economically bad for me had I invested in furniture meant to last 30 to 50 years (compared to Ikea’s 5-to-10 years) but for which I would have had to pay at least 2 or 3 times more.

You are right. Twilio Connect has sadly not been a great user experience and this is something we're reconsidering. We used it initially because it was a low-risk approach to see if people would use a product like this. Thank you for your feedback :)

Commodity ETFs get by with having audited assets stored somewhere in the vault (GLD). They just need to be periodically audited by a trusted third party (or two).
If the main business model works (see my other comment), then theaters' margins needn't be reduced.

I guess MoviePass thinks they deserve a cut of concessions since they're saving theaters - which might be true - but theaters control the end product, so I doubt they'd share revenue. They're more likely to compete against MoviePass if the plan works.
Protocols should become useless before dropping the client from standard distributions.

This statement is identical to "All operating-system developers must support every protocol ever developed, until the heat death of the universe".

I am not exaggerating. No matter the protocol, no matter how obscure it is, somewhere there is at least one person whose workflow is dependent on it and who will complain that it is, as a result, not "useless" and must be supported out-of-the-box by their operating system.

Those people can learn to install a client. If any of them happen to be the only user in the world of a given protocol and be doing it solely on machines to which they have no write access, well, they painted themselves into the corner and now can deal with the consequences of it.
Could you point out specifically where they are cutting corners? Their materials are cheap, but not particularly short-lived. The woodwork quality is second to none: never experienced jams, excess play or position mismatches on IKEA pieces.
I've found it good on mobile, but for desktop osx, it wasn't very good. Lots of broken sites.
I've sold a bunch of IKEA furniture second-hand the couple times I've moved and it all got offers within minutes of putting up the ad.

It seems like you haven't tried many editors. Have you tried TeXStudio (https://www.texstudio.org/)?

> it rarely seems to work except on the person who wrote its machine.

I and many others edit the same documents at the university where I work, without significant issues. Distributions like TeXLive (https://www.tug.org/texlive/) provide a consistent all-inclusive cross-platform solution.
It depends on the theatre. I only go to a regular movie theatre when I'm back home seeing my parents. I enjoy the theatre experience where you get reclining seats and you get to reserve your seat beforehand. The next step is the dinner and movie experience where you get to both enjoy reserved seating and get food served while you're eating. Those theatres by necessity aren't as crowded and you have a much better experience. The ticket costs for the movie and dinner type places are usually cheaper since they can make it up on food.

We also still have a decent drive in in our area where the sound comes through your fm radio. You can see two new releases there for like $8 a person. You can bring your own food - usually we do take out.

Movie pass is a no go for popular movies for us because you can't use it to reserve movies in advance online.

Most of IKEAs wood comes from Europe/Russia. They also probably do a lot more work tracing the source of their wood and making it sustainable than your average furniture maker, simply due to their visibility. You might be better off with something hand-crafted by an artisan from local wood, but who can afford that? Most people get their furniture from other big box stores, with unknown provenance
Yup, you'd probably be surprised how much of that is still out there. At this point I'd rather have that than XP which has lots of well known exploits.

If bitfinex doesn't have dollars to give for usdt, all they have to do is give an equivalent amount of bitcoin based on a bitcoin index like the one cme, cboe, and bitmex use. I just wish binance, kraken, poloniex would support bitusd also. Two of them support bitshares already, so atleast there is a path to bitusd. unfortunately bitusd float is nowhere as big as usdt.

Edit: disclaimer: own some bitshares.

Edit2: would be interesting if bitmex converted or pegged some of their swap products into decentralized currencies that you could trade on other exchanges.
The edge connectors are particularly troublesome and those are present in almost all their furniture making it next to impossible to disassemble a piece of furniture to move it to a new house. They are designed to be single use.

Yeah, that advice makes sense for a multiple-car household (that actually describes my real-life situation, although ironically I prefer my Model S over wife’s hybrid SUV for longer road trips).

For single-car households people would still seek comfort in the fact that even if they have one long trip a year, they’re covered. And the costs of ownership of a compact gas/hybrid vs compact electric still lean in favor of the former.

There is nothing insecure in a protocol by itself. In this case, since it lacks encryption, it shouldn't be used over insecure networks such as the Internet on its own. But it's by no means the only way it's being used. There is a place for FTP, Telnet, TFTP and many other basic protocols - it all depends on how you use them. The only thing that Apple gained by this is that people will use third-party FTP clients (which might be good given Apple's recent lack of focus on security anyway.)
Stuff from that era was really good. High quality woods and good finishing work. Then it went downhill with the low point somewhere around '97 or so and since then it has been slowly climbing back up. But there is a long way to go if they ever want to get back to their old quality level and their profit margins would likely suffer as a consequence.

Is there sufficient incentive to issue bitusd if you hold bitshares ? I guess you can loan yourself about 60% of the value you hold in bitshares if you issue yourself some bitusd. but is it any more than a leveraged position in bitshares ? Could be risky for the issuer unless they are prepared to really support the price of bitshares.
Thanks! You are spot on about day 4 - most of the demos began with trying to imitate an existing track, especially structural stuff like how many voices there are, how often they enter and leave, how often the chords change, etc.

Ikea actually plans to become "forest positive": https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/ikea-sustai... The article is from 2012, not sure how far they progressed (true sustainability is difficult). I doubt they use any tropical wood though. Most of their wood supplies are already FSC certified.

We have swapped real value for fake artifice in too many ways in our economy...
My take on this is that they make some real crappy stuff, like in: if you ever take it apart, you might as well throw it away.

And then they also have some decent, quality stuff, like some of their couches.

The problem is that as a consumer, it’s sometimes a bit unclear which category you’re buying into. Price is not a good indicator when it comes to ikea stuff: they have cheap stuff that’s great and expensive stuff that’s dispensible.

Spoiler: V8's default array implementation holds pointers to boxed objects [Questions 5 & 6], but there are special-case implementations for arrays of doubles [1] and 16-bit integers [9] (and presumably others). However, adding a single string to an array of doubles violates the special-case and requires every double to be boxed, significantly increasing memory footprint [2].

It's interesting to compare this to a "NaN-boxing" approach, which allows pointers and doubles (and other simple values) to all exist in a single "namespace" of 8-byte values. In the (uncommon?) case of a heterogeneous array, this can save memory by avoiding the need to box simple values. The downside is that NaN-boxing prevents the use of full 64-bit pointers.
They’re also what 99% of their users use so they really meed to have feature parity on important things like privacy, especially given how trivial this would be (“fuzz n meters from my current location”).

Moving from a country with no Ikea to a country with Ikea has been a paradigm shift for me, and I'm not sure it's entirely a good one.

It used to be that if I wanted furniture, I'd go to the second hand store, and look for some used furniture that fitted my purpose. If I couldn't find something that worked, then I'd look online, and then failing that, I'd buy it new.

I found some real gems at the second hand store. A desk I bought is going strong 5 years later (I gave it to a friend).

Now I don't even bother, I just go straight to Ikea. It's so cheap that there's no point in looking at second hand.
Based on the article AC is not so powerful as DC. Makes perfect sense as the former changes direction while the latter is more direct.

You got a good point - the architecture, weight trade-off, capabilities trade-off and cost trade-offs matter. Who is responsible for what. As long as the industry changes quickly and big players don't agree the vertical integrated solutions will stay. In the long run there is a need for a platform as it will be cheaper to do as much as possible in the shared infrastructure. When lower cost cars are getting on the market in larger numbers may mark the time when things are settled.
Where is the settlement here? It was a court clarifying that some people didn't actually have the copyright they claimed.

I worked at Ikea for some time and it's quite amazing the possibilities you had as an employee pursuing a career within the company. Rather than them basing your performance on past studies and grades, you definitely had the possibility to pursue any role within the company as long as you had the "right" mentality and really wanted it. Just like any early-stage startup I've work with.

I was a lazy university student who just saw it as a part-time job though, just improving my economical situation for a bit but the few ideas I had was easily escalated and heard.

Kind of miss that place sometimes.

When it comes to Kamprads legacy, I do hope they open a fund with his pile of cash because for me, his legacy is stained by all the sketchy tax evasion schemes they've set up.

Rest in peace Ingvar.

This news also tops the consumer version of the IKEA swedish subsite. Kamprad was the most well known entrepneur in Sweden. He projected an image of himself as an every day man, even somewhat behind ("smådum") which he obviously was not. He considered the entire supply chain, including buying forests as supply for wood. With him gone, only future will tell if IKEA will be able to keep up its success.

I have a condition where I don't have stereoscopic vision. This poses a problem when doing fine SMD.

I am using a camera connected directly to a monitor to reduce lag. This allows me to see both the monitor and the board at the same time, without moving my head. I see the board an the tip at an angle allowing me to judge the height. When soldering, I will mostly look at the monitor and regularly scanning to see the height of the tip.

The bigger problem is with placing fine components on the board. It's just slow and irritating. I will position the component in its location and then slowly bring it down until it touches the paste.

Unicode only defines the codepoints for characters, it doesn't require anyone to actually make them look good.

Also worth pointing out that in the UK, the company now sends nothing to landfill itself (http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/38636272/ikea-sustaina...). And in France, they will accept old Ikea furniture and resell it at low cost (https://www.climatesolutionsplatform.org/solution/giving-fur...)

"In the later years of his life, Mr Kamprad had faced questions over his past links to the Nazis."

It's crazy how he ran Ikea for over 70 years but a quarter of the article deals with his ties to Nazis. Granted, he admits it was the "greatest mistake" of his life, so I suppose the attention to it may not be unwarranted. But I think it would have been prudent to touch on what caused him to shift his perspective. "Youthful stupidity" doesn't convey much.

Still, I can't help but feel like the information age is ushering in a modern-day version of the Akashic records. A double-edged sword anyone with an internet connection can consult. We laud past failures as learning experiences when it comes to startups, almost as if it's a badge of honor. But it's a very different story when someone violates a social contract, even in retrospect. (Albeit there are plenty of cases where people are embraced because of the drastic changes they made in their life, e.g. gang members that become speakers for at-risk youth.)

I think there's both a wisdom, and ignorance, of crowds/culture. And these crowds are constantly redrawing the line of who deserves redemption. Lately, the line seems to be inching in the wrong direction in my opinion.

With the advent of the internet it's scary to think about how efficiently the arbiters of information control the narrative. "We do not judge men by what they are in themselves, but by what they are relatively to us." -Madame Swetchine.
ATMs are often refilled only every day or two, whereas the store's registers are replenished periodically, often at shift changes or when demand increases. Perhaps more importantly the register also takes _in_ cash as unrelated customers pay with cash.
