Like tending the ground on a farm can be seen as a cost.

...until yields go in the dumpster.

Only then it is seen as part of the entire cycle needed to make money.

Support is a part of the cycle. It should be priced in and those people given good opps same as everyone.

And, in many scenarios, support can lead to sales too. Good support people get to know their contacts. And that relationship can lead to genuine interest in more business. Experienced ones will do this naturally. It is all bonus money when they do. (Low cost of sales) Personally, I would spiff em. No quotas though.

Please, whoever reads this thinking about how to drive sales... just stop. Empower people to have those chats, make introductions, etc... but don't put it on your forecast, or under sales management. I am not speaking to that. I am speaking about experienced support people who become aware they can help on that front when indicated and warranted. Not looking for chances to make a pitch.

The moment you do, what was genuine becomes as contrived as these template are.
There are people making and losing fortunes every day in the market. These kind of crazy bets aren't new, just more visible.

Spammers make many fiber to copper to fiber connections. Every call essentially comes from a black box and every carrier is complicit.

So if you make a "last mile" fine, basically every carrier will be charged "evenly". This plan wouldn't have the incentive structure needed to change carrier behavior.

This video explains it nicely . [1]

You could tax all garbage, including recycling (at a slightly lower rate).

If people start having to pay for garbage processing by weight or volume, people would change their tune pretty quickly, in the same fashion that instituting small charges on bottles and cans boost recycling of those products.

Whoshiring worked for me back in like 2014-2016 when I was the "only" React.js freelancer with deep experience. (Not sure when whoshiring started but somewhere in there.) It stopped working in ~2017-2019 once everyone had that and I don't think I was ever contacted again (by a serious opportunity). Trolling public forums is so low effort that anyone can do it and it's a race to the bottom unless you stand out in some clear way.

Especially since these stickers (and those like them) have serial numbers, and the sender typically notes the serial numbers in an email or similar when the item is shipped. The effort required to reset one without it being noticed is pretty high.

I'd be more interested to see if a more generalised PlanetDate module could be written. Perhaps outside of Earth we could do away with months and just stick to days (based on rotations, assuming the planet rotates) and years, with leap days added in between? And if the planet doesn't rotate, just count by hours and years (with hours having a logical separator at 10 or 100)?
Yes! A newsroom does cost money, but we think it’s the right thing to invest in. The short answer for how we pay for it: we think we can provide a service in exchange for money.

Many people don’t want “the news” to deliver them endless feeds of articles they’ll never read; they want an easy way to stay informed. We hope to provide focused, finite news for people who don’t have the time or interest to stay on top of Twitter and a bunch of news aggregators all day. Without ads, we don’t need to be so focused on maximizing impressions and user engagement, and can afford to say “you’re all caught up!”

Today, only ~13% of American adults pay for digital news, vs. ~75% that pay for some streaming video service. However, historically, ~90% of households paid for a newspaper. We think there’s a large, untapped market for a better news product.

Actually no. In 2015 and 2018 this was documented to be due to widespread illegal sand mining operations off the coasts of the world. Dredgers will scoop out sand offshore, and the dynamics of the coastal beaches, is that the onshore sand is sucked out to fill that void! Bingo instant erosion. People covering this have been murdered, this is a criminal mafia that is ruthless in exploiting this resource.

"[...] sand miners are turning to the seas, where thousands of ships now vacuum up huge amounts of the stuff from the ocean floor. As you might expect, all this often wreaks havoc on rivers, deltas, and marine ecosystems. Sand mines in the US are blamed for beach erosion, water and air pollution, and other ills, from the California coast to Wisconsin’s lakes." 2015 [1]

"Why buy expensive sand, sourced from licensed mines, when you can anchor your dredger in some remote estuary, blast the sand out of the riverbed with a water jet and suck it up? Or steal a beach? Or dismantle an entire island? Or whole groups of islands? This is what the “sand mafias” do. Criminal enterprises, their illegal mining operations in Asia, Africa and elsewhere, are protected by officials and police paid to look the other way – and powerful customers in the construction industry who prefer not to ask too many questions." 2018 [2]

Robinhood goes down missing an entire trading day due to a ‘system-wide outage’
I am always amazed at the lengths distribution warehouse workers will go to tamper with these vs. just not tipping the shipment. I've actually seen boxes of replacement stickers on the back of a forklift during a tour. I once had a shipment come in with TiltWatches on it and someone had slid pins through the plastic right above the balls to hold them in place. I now check for holes on these.

IF you are shipping something that really needs to be rejected if tipped, cover the stickers with a panel, shipping manifest, etc. Make sure the receiver knows to remove the covering and check before signing for the package.

Those Tip'n'tells double as great makeshift earthquake sensors. https://i.imgur.com/v83aNzV.jpg
You still have smart playlists in Music.app, but that Music.app no longer handles means you can’t use smart playlists for organizing audio books.

Apple Music, and therefore the Music.app, is still the best solution out there if you want to bring your own content and have it accessible via streaming from a number of devices. Spotify has serious limitations on bring-your-own-tracks that makes it not great for certain use cases.

Yup, it's not pleasant but thankfully, apart from NTLM settings, I've managed to remove most of my custom about:config settings I had used over the years, so apart from dragging Add-On icons into the Overflow Menu I don't have much customization to do.

I had an issue with v73 being incompatible with whatever security software my Work PC was running and the main rendering thread crashing.

That speaks volumes.
>Capitalism says they won't. Consumers as a whole favor cheaper products over sustainable ones.

I think we're seeing an increase of companies that are prioritizing sustainable practices, because both consumers and investors are demanding this. Not every company by any stretch of the imagination, but it's happening. See Blackrock's annual letter [1] for the investment side. One Percent for the Planet reports that Millennials are more willing to purchase products that have environmental or social benefits than the general public, which would suggest that this is a trend that's increasing[2].

>Regulation is how you solve that problem. Tax companies that use disposable packaging or don't manage their waste streams properly (however you define that) and they'll stop doing it.

Definitely agreed that this would solve things a lot quicker and more completely. But in the absence of fitting regulation, people need to decide to do the right thing within their companies and get progress started.

Similarly, I believe that pizza used to be regional Neapolitan cuisine.
In fact, it was the Catholic church that officially declared the Gregorian calendar we use today. The motivation was to make sure Easter always fell on the same day.

I don't think that most people who have had pizza from the top US pizza chains and have had a more "authentic" Italian pizza have trouble distinguishing the two. Italian pizzas are known for having thinner crust, a small amount of sauce, and more basic ingredients(albeit much more fresh usually), probably incorporates more olive oil, in contrast with something from, say, Pizza Hutt. American pizza has breadier and simply uses more of everything. A lot more saucy, a lot more cheesy. Don't get me started on stuffed crust! While there is a variety of toppings, most people go for a handful. Right now, zany combinations of toppings and sauces are popular, but people still most often choose pepperoni, sausage, "veggies", bacon w/ pineapple, etc. I don't understand how you can call it an impossible comparison; most pizza joints in America share very similar menus and kinds of pizzas.

Even pizza in New Zealand, when I lived there, was significantly different from American pizza. It's closer to American pizza, but Kiwis really love to use tangier sauces, which for some reason they also drizzled on to the pizzas. They even did this at Pizza Hutt.

Everywhere has regional differences. To claim otherwise is a bit blind, in my opinion. Just because American culture is mainstream doesn't mean that it's not distinct from other cultures it's related to.
There are a couple of those I know:

- White sangria. "Sangria" literally means "bloodletting", and has been traditionally made from red wine. But white sangria has become popular overseas and with tourists, and now many Spanish restaurants also offer white sangria.

- Eating paella at night. Traditionally in Valencia, the paella was to be eaten only at lunch time and never at dinner time. This is because it's rice-based, so it's too heavy to go to sleep afterwards and dinner time is fairly late. But a lot of tourists want to eat it at night, so restaurants serve it anytime. There's even light joking among locals when seeing someone eating paella at night "I'm sure they are tourists".

I'd guess countries where there's a lot of tourism have a lot more of this pizza effect than others. The inverse would be "Yoshoku" in Japanese, which is heavily adapting the foreign dishes to local tastes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dshoku

There's a pretty serious problem indicated in the first comment:

"These are a ripoff. I ordered an entire case of these and every single one of them was already used when they arrived in the mail."

So in essence, distances are basically discrete units thanks to the Planck Length? (Doesn't this have the profound implication that the Coastline Paradox[0] becomes theoretically solveable?)

Naturally, this doesn't necessarily imply that time, too, has to be discretely divisable, so I think I can understand how the person who studied physics sees it...

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coastline_paradox

EDIT: On the Coastline Paradox, it's stated on the Wikipedia page (I had just thought, and linked, without reading):

> "As the length of a fractal curve always diverges to infinity, if one were to measure a coastline with infinite or near-infinite resolution, the length of the infinitely short kinks in the coastline would add up to infinity.[3] However, this figure relies on the assumption that space can be subdivided into infinitesimal sections. The truth value of this assumption—which underlies Euclidean geometry and serves as a useful model in everyday measurement—is a matter of philosophical speculation, and may or may not reflect the changing realities of "space" and "distance" on the atomic level (approximately the scale of a nanometer). For instance, the Planck length, many orders of magnitude smaller than an atom, is proposed as the smallest measurable unit possible in the universe."

EDIT2: > "smallest measurable unit possible" ...oh no... we still have to go deeper!

Investment rounds are also about strategic alliances. It's important to get skin in the game from relevant industry players. You also tie said players up from making similar deals with Uber and Lyft (depends on the terms).

I assume then that you exchange the public keys of your Signal contacts over SMS. Over perhaps you scp them to a server you share with friends.

We have to because it's crucial. If public key attestation didn't matter we would have dispensed with the lock icon and "this certificate is untrusted" popups rather than laud the emergence of Let's Encrypt and the ACME protocol.

plastics is not solved, so we agree on that.. paper and aluminum can easily pay for itself when done well.. lots of dense consumer products are somewhere in the middle.. product design and materials make the difference in many cases

It is unduly onerous to claim "recycling doesn't work" IMO

Stuff like this is what makes Go confusing to newcomers.

For some time I couldn’t understand why people were complaining so much about —the now deprecated— GOPATH environment variable, and later the confusion of how to use all the different and incompatible dependency managers. Then, suddenly last year, it hits me… Go is confusing to people who haven’t followed the language from the beginning.

I started programming in Go in 2013 so for me it was very easy to adapt to every change in the language and the community.

I can only imagine all the ambiguous stuff people have to understand when learning the language in 2019-2020.
BeyondCorp is not just a proof of concept. Everything at Google is accessed through it, including production-production (through a proxy maybe? Not sure the details). You're right about the requirement to have a hardened device -- which acts sort of like a token (as described in the BeyondCorp whitepapers). But it can be Windows, Linux, Mac, Chromebook, Android or iPhone. I never use VPN and I work on production stuff from outside the office all the time.

(FWIW, I don't think there's anything secret here. This stuff is very explicitly described in the whitepapers.)

You do have to pay based off weight and volume. Curbside fees just decide to obfuscate that.

The downside is that those that are charged directly often dump wherever they won't be caught. Example: mattresses, they're a dumping problem, often, bulk items are even included in curbside pickup with the minium effort of scheduling a pickup.
>> You can either pay one person (out of a - growing- pool of tens of millions of willing drivers) ~$15 an hour (depending on geography) in a $20k car or you can pay very little per hour in a 250k for the car + a gigantic engineering team + compute infrastructure. It can make sense on a large scale, but it'll be hard to do.

I believe this $250K figure will end up being off by a multiple of 2. As an example, the cost of LIDAR (the most expensive piece of many SDC's) has dropped by an order of magnitude over the past couple years. (A quick google search for a source on this claim yields: https://qz.com/924212/what-it-really-costs-to-turn-a-car-int...)

The biggest questions around SDC's seems to really be around safety & feasibility. If these criteria are met, I can't imagine the overall cost per mile driven will be higher than manual labor.

And, even if autonomous driving doesn't undercut on price, they will beat human drivers on both quality & convenience. Most people don't enjoy having a human driver who sometimes smells bad and tries to talk to you (not to mention the uptick in assault reports). And, since the cost of under-utilization will be much lower for SDC's, you can bet the average wait time for SDC's will be lower than Uber.

>> There's a general theme here: It's not enough to teach a computer to do something as good as a human, you have to undercut on price as well.

I think the more apt statement is: Consumers care about price, quality, safety, and convenience. A winning solution has to be significantly better in at least one of these categories (price being only one possibility).
If your company is getting shopped to 43+ other companies, it's not a very strong position. This seems like KPMG responding to their incentives: sell the company and make like $250k, or don't sell the company and make "the biggest bill I've ever paid in my life".
