I'd probably cry if I couldn't shop at Costco.

The price differential between corporate chain grocery stores and big box stores reminds me of that between convenience stores and said grocery stores.

I'm wondering if a big box store went completely delivery-only (close all stores) with a minimum order of say $300, would profits go up or down. I'm wondering if it would be possible to guesstimate P&L close enough in each scenario to find the overall more likely capital-efficient business model.

Just tested with WebPositive on Haiku on a T61, and it did in fact load - though it took a long time.

even if a government build 100 new hospitals in a state do you think they can get enough healthcare workers? at least in Chicago reagion, they are having hard time finding healthcare workers. it's not like hospitals can go to a Med school and ask for 1000 new doctors, respiratory therapists and nurses.

That's because you have a functioning brain. To most people the Emojii set is a dictionary of displayed objects. This object is a chart (obviously) and what do charts do? They represent data, not all charts represent the data of stocks. Even less represent the data of money itself!

Weird that people could see interest in why a chart might have a red line even if it goes up? Like, do they not know charts exist outside stock markets?

The question is that why you want to enable ANC even if you use single bud? Anyway noise is come from non plugged ear.

My answer is that ANC helps reducing playback volume to battle with noise so it still worth.
Best Practices

The requirement was to ingest a CSV, transform it, and put it in a database somewhere. The solution was three microservices.

The first read the data piece by piece (unit of work) and passed it to the second via HTTP. This was slow so it was threaded.

The second provided an abstract class which was extended to facilitate string transformations. Each was accompanied by a unit test. Similarly, the result was passed along to the third service via HTTP. This was also threaded.

The third put the data into a third-party queue which wrote into a database.

It took nearly a half of a day for the process to complete. I rewrote it as an SQL script which read the CSV into the database directly, used SQL functions for the transformations and then stored its result. It took a few minutes to complete. But, this wasn't a best practice or popular, and what would the team work on?

Wow, annoyance 1 itself would lead me to trash the headphones. Is there no way to avoid that?

I’ve been using these Bose in ear noise canceling head phones for 5 years (actually, this specific piece for a bit more than 4 years…the one I bought was in the first batch and had a known defect where the outer covering would peel off, so Bose replaced it in my 10th or so month of using it…it’s a genuine recall and nobody had to sue them to offer the recall either!).

$300 headphones, working for the past 5 years, and Inhave no complaints whatsoever. There are a couple of random gym equipment I’ve occasionally had trouble connecting it to, but I suspect that it was the gym equipments fault.

Admittedly, the mic could be better, and Bose had a ridiculous issue of tracking the music you played on your phone, which thankfully they’ve ended.

But it’s a trustworthy device which actually “Just Works” and I see no reason it wouldn’t last another couple of years at least (there is no physical damage I can see, despite using it in the gym nearly everyday, and all day long to listen to music).

I’m a mostly-happy Wealthfront user, but there’s a negative feature of the loan that I found out the hard way. I was having some medium-level renovations done on my house, and pushing the easy button to get some cash without liquidating investments sounded good to me. That worked great! But: WF would not let me add any more to my investment account until I paid the loan back in full! This wasn’t prominent, and I’d have happily made payments for longer by dividing between the loan and investment. I missed out on much of the big upside of the past 20 months.
To be specific, Amazon co-mingles inventory between Amazon, Sold by Amazon, and its third party sellers that are Fulfilled by Amazon.

It doesn't matter who you buy from. The picker at the warehouse picks from the same box, the actual product could come from any seller, even if it's "Sold by Amazon".

Who you purchase from is purely an accounting thing, unless they manage their own stock and is not part of Prime.

If you would like assurance that the goods you purchased actually us genuine, you have to shop from other retailers.

I'm sorry, you getting down-voted because you are just completely wrong on all accounts. Not to mention using terms like 'ameritars' and 'Electric Jesus' are just embracing things to use in any discussion.

1. This was not a competitively bid launch. Europe provided the budget for launch so they selected their own launch vehicle.

2. Nothing the Ariane 5 did was very special no matter they hype about 'so exact'. Everybody know that was almost certainty happening. It was typical under-promise over deliver. Other certified rockets would have done the same thing.

3. Both SpaceX and ULA could have launched this mission. Both are full certified for first rate, lowest-risk launches by NASA. Please actually go and look at the list of launches and you will see:

SpaceX:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He...

ULA:

> https://www.ulalaunch.com/missions

4. Both ULA and SpaceX are launching both NASA and Dod payloads. Both required separate very detailed qualification.

5. SpaceX also has launched German Defense sats because it was cheaper then Ariane. Italy has just booked a SpaceX flight as well.

6. The SpaceX Falcon 9 is certified and has launched humans. I would consider that 'important national stuff'.

7. Falcon 9 based on most statistical models is now considered safer then Ariane 5. Falcon 9 has also already launched more often then Ariane 5. Insurance cost of payload on Falcon 9 is also the lowest in the industry.

8. Ariane 5 was just grounded for 6 month because of issues with the fairing and required government intervention. This actually did cause significant concern for James Webb lukeyl they had one launch before to test the new configuration. In typical Arianespace fashion they hid this error for as long as they could and didn't tell anybody why they are grounded. Great security culture they got, always trying to brush their failure under the carpet and not talk about it.

Fine to have pride but don't try to bring others down to lift yourself up. It makes you look silly.

In other words, it's 70-80% effective, which is pretty poor performance for a vaccine. So, can we please get an update that encodes the Omicron spike instead of trying to boost antibodies for a virus that's now extinct?
Indeed those are altogether terrible. Truly, utterly bad things have happened. The United States has not always been that paragon, for how could it? No one person is without fault, how could any country or people not have committed inexcusable actions? It' deplorable.

But today, where it is in my power, I'll take up the mantle of the good if I can, as well as I can, with the best arguments I can muster, to argue reasonably what I think is correct. Free speech, with its ups and downs, if its a thing we cherish today, let it be a thing we today cherish, and let us who cherish it do what we can to ensure that those who inherit the world we today create have greater access to the cherishable thing.

Given how mRNA vaccines work, there's nothing stopping the producers from putting as many different "instructions" as they wish in a single dose. But anyways, again * citation needed *

> Plus downsides of repeatedly have to make time to get boosters

Boo frickin' hoo. Even if we have to get quarterly boosters, that's four times a year. You're on Hacker News, you obviously have spare time on your hands.

> taking doses from people who haven't even had the opportunity to get a single dose

At this point, in the developed world, there's no one left who hasn't had "the opportunity to get a single dose." In fact, we have vaccines going bad due to anti-vaxers refusing to get vaccinated. And realize that a vial of vaccine sitting in the WalMart or CVS down the street isn't going to magically get repositioned to Africa due to Americans refusing it.

You know what drastically lowers the risks of COVID infection, both in terms of getting infected in the first place and the chance of bad outcomes if you do contract it? GETTING VACCINATED.

And some scientists think that repeated boosters will backfire and lead to waning immunity or at least immunity better centered around the exact strain the vaccine is made (so could be mitigated by different boosters). Plus downsides of repeatedly have to make time to get boosters, taking doses from people who haven't even had the opportunity to get a single dose. Differences in risk between a healthy under 30 and an unhealthy over 65.

It's possible that your statement is correct for some demographics and incorrect for others. But that nuance is not in the current discussion or the current mandates; and that nuance could save lives in less-developed countries.

Based on your comment history, you're American, so you're not helping anyone in "less-developed" countries by refusing a vaccine. You're just exposing yourself and your community to a higher level of risk.
I don't understand why people believe choosing to put their lives and the lives of others at risk is somehow "noble", "courageous", "convenient", or "smarter that scientists." Maybe I didn't do enough "research" (i.e., check gossip on Facebook and green ink underground blogs) on the latest conspiracies.

Edit: Plus, my rights and the rights of the majority of people were violated by quarantining for a year because idiots, ignorant, and reckless individuals caused community spread. If the rights of everyone had been uniformly violated with a strict quarantine for a month at the outset, it would've been contained in the US like China did. When the US stops wanting to be so "Great" it might be able to check its own ego and do what's vital for the survival of its people. It's another item that could form the basis of a sequel to "Where to Invade Next?" that showed how the US doubles-down on failure when other countries are far better in particular systems.
Would we not all be better served by abolishing school libraries and replacing them with regional community libraries with select textbooks and such reserved for school kids?

If I’m in a high school, I can only have my high school’s books. If I’m an adult, those books are now dead to me. If the books are instead in a public library, many more can enjoy them (and the funding is better distributed as well).

I certainly remember being in high school and simply going to my public library any time I wanted a book because the selection was infinitely better.

> College kids were already required to get multiple vaccines to attend and I remember being lined up to take the swine flu nasal spray with no say in the matter if I was going to continue education.

Saying it's happened in the past isn't an argument that it should continue in the future. I doubt your swine flu nasal spray had as intense of negative side effects as the COVID second shot and booster tend to in the young and healthy. Now that we're in booster territory and Delta is being phased out the shots are almost certainly more painful than the disease for some portion of the population.

> How is this worse than all the other health based coercion we’ve had?

I can't recall any other health based requirement for attending an event or restaurant. I also don't understand why people continue to harp on how a personal COVID vaccination decision "affects society and others" at this point. The vaccine only marginally prevents infection at this stage, and the primary benefit of reduced severity should stop everyone who's vaccinated from worrying about what others around them may be doing. I get the flu shot so I don't get the flu, and I'm not sitting around telling others who haven't that they're putting me in danger.

Was wondering about the same thing. I grew up in Germany where school libraries weren't a big thing. My kids went to school here but always went to the public library.

Probably a much bigger issue in rural areas where the school is maybe the only place where any kind book can be accessed by kids.
What does this book or it's banning have to do with critical race theory or any fight against it? As the link provided by srmarm lists, it was banned due to language and explicit illustration.
