> How exactly is it bad for consumers to get products below cost?

Because it is necessarily a short term strategy, and when the subsidy ends, it is incredibly disruptive (in the bad way).

It is good in the short term for those consumers who get in early and get their consumption subsided by VC funds or FAANG profits from another subsector. But it is bad in the long term for everyone when firms try to compete by selling below cost. Consumers usually win when companies have to compete with each other. But selling below cost is a strategy that only very rich or entrenched players can do. It means you have to play the VC unicorn game as a startup. It sets unrealistic price expectations for consumers. It leads to situations like this when the rug is pulled.

Look what has happened with ride sharing and delivery apps. A few rich VC backed firms took over the market and subsidized cheap rides. Entire industries were transformed, and most restaurants stopped offering delivery themselves. Now, it is becoming clear that those $5-7 rides actually cost 2-3x that, and that's not what people are willing to pay.
Counterpoint: Etsy still has a lot of products that are just different than what you get when you search on Amazon or AliExpress or Walmart.

Example: search for toilet paper holders. You'll find stuff like a railroad spike, animal sculptures, pipes with valves...they are far more creative, weird, and eclectic than a typical Amazon search.

Hot take: Etsy's customer doesn't actually want something handmade, what they want is something that's thinking "outside the box" of normal home goods. They want a marketplace of unique ideas.

The legal definition does not require them to use paper mail, and it’s a rounding error in the USPS budget.

Here’s what they’re required to do:

Ad-blocking/privacy as a service has a problem in that it's only a matter of time before your data (DNS queries for example) will be logged and sold to advertisers. Enshittification is inevitable, the cloud can't be trusted, and neither can the state, so the people who want privacy focused products will naturally want to self-host instead of creating an account that can track them before handing over all their data to one or more third parties with nothing but a non-binding privacy policy promise by some for profit company not to look at or sell any of it.
The reason individual speeds were trending down is because the number of users is increasing. Now that the service no longer has wait-lists and is fully available to everyone, one would imagine speeds increasing as more infrastructure is brought online.
> Japan and Germany have been pretty well behaved since the Allies ground them to the dust during WW2 - why do you think it couldn't work here?

The grinding into dust was a small part of the reason for the successful outcome

The main victor in WWII poured vast resources into rebuilding the economies of Germany and Japan, ensured their viability as nation states, fostered democracy and encouraged the creation of an environment fostering equality, cooperation and growth. This all ensured residual bitterness was overcome relatively quickly.

Israel so far has done very much the opposite to the Palestinians. The prospects for long term peace look grim without a more magnanimous victor.

The West Bank is every year more decimated by settlements with Palestinians forced into tighter and tighter enclaves. This is not a recipe for long term peace

You picked small business that wouldn't buy billboard ads. I see local restaurants and hotels on billboards all the time: they are targeting non-locals who might use that business if they only new how close it was.

Buy low, sell high. They've done the same strategy in New York.
A similarly-compromised front-line T-Mobile employee once enabled a "SIM-swap" on my active iPhone phone number.

It was reported in T-Mobile's systems as my personal visit, with supporting documentation/ID, to one of their retail locations in Oklahoma – thousands of miles from anywhere I'd recently been. So, while remotely possible that their employee gullibily-reviewed credible false documents, it seemed far more likely to be:…

- an insider abuse by a corrupt employee;

- a deep hack of T-Mobile's systems, allowing such admin actions with forged audit-trails; or…

- compromise of an authorized employee's credentials plus access to capable internal-system front-ends.

The Apple Support person I spoke to insisted that an analogous compromise here was impossible - that no Apple employee had the power take such an action without my Apple ID password. Based on other reports in this thread, I highly suspect she was
lying to me, probably in conformance with Apple policy.
> > Advertising in cities, from billboards to flyers to stickers is the only way to reach people directly

> Most billboards are from [inter]national corporations. Local businesses usually rely on the most effective form of advertising, word-of-mouth. Some of the most successful local businesses in my city have literally never paid for advertising.

Are they? From my experience, at least on roads here in the US, the majority seems to be realtors, ambulance chasing attorneys, restaurants/casinos/road-side attractions coming up, and various political/religious/group-affiliation advertising. Corporations make up some of course, but it's a lot more mixed than, say, TV ads.
Geneva narrowly rejected banning billboards recently.

Whether the Israeli's decisions are reasonable is a completely separate topic, and I think the answer is less clear.

Because Palestine has no bargaining chips, a peace deal will involve Israel making unilateral concessions to Palestine, i.e. charity. Israel will relinquish territory where it currently is the de-facto owner, and agree to put new limits on its treatment of the Palestinians. Palestine will continue to receive a great deal of international aid which it could use to rebuild quite quickly if at peace, and they could easily choose to rebuild into a more credible threat to Israel.

In exchange, Israel gets:

Maybe improved relations with their Arab neighbors. (It could also make things worse; their neighbors may become more openly hostile if their "arm the Palestinians against Israel" strategy is taken off the table)

Slightly improved international relations because the settlements Israel keeps would be legitimized.

Maybe a reduction in terrorism (assuming the Palestinian peace-making faction retains enough power to enforce this).

Maybe a reduction in defense costs (Israel still needs to maintain a large defense force because it is surrounded by potentially hostile countries).

Is that trade worth it for Israel? Its not obvious, and depends on how likely you think the positive outcomes are. This is reflected in their domestic politics, Israelis have supported both doves and hawks over the past 60 years depending on how likely they think a positive peace is, which largely depended on Palestinian behavior.

So while I don't think its worth assassinating people over, I do think reasonable people can come to different conclusions about the appropriateness of peace deals from the Israeli perspective.
It's bad, but to me it seems like at least some notoriously bad ones are making incremental changes.

"Well it looks like no one else is going to achieve what you said you could do, and you got kinda close so fuck it, keep the money" doesn't really sound like how you should expect a government subsidy to be managed.

For the record: I'm not commenting on whether the government was right or wrong to cancel the subsidy for SpaceX. I'm simply explaining why SpaceX's inability (so far) to get Starship to orbit is referenced, and more specifically, why the launch reliability of Falcon 9 is specifically not relevant in a sentence that says "Starship".
alas, the wikipedia talk page does include multiple people trying to point out this is wrong, and the academic sources (I checked 3 of them) do not seem to actually analize the party in depth.

We are almost sure that genetics (and perhaps nutrition) are the main determinants of IQ. We won't have a complete answer until most of the genes that affect intelligence are found. With regard to your specific question of if educational attainment is the main factor in causing IQ to increase, that would mean that everyone at high-school would have the same IQ because they all have the same educational attainment (inasmuch as what "educational attainment" means in this paper). Wealth of one's parents is a harder problem. I believe that it is not a significant contributing factor beyond not being malnourished. This is based on the fact that the average IQ of some poor countries is higher than the average IQ of some richer countries. But like I said a complete solution to this problem, or – more boldly – an answer that blank-slatists would have no choice but to accept, would involve a more complete understanding of the genetic component including most genes as well as relevant ncDNA sequences.

I think they're saying you get to run one CCX at a time; either the A57 cores or the A53 cores and you can only change that once after a reset. Presumably the boot time CCX is selected by selection pins. Depending on exactly what reset means, this might be something like the i286 that couldn't leave protected mode without a reset, so systems were built for OSes that entered protected mode where they could set up a reset vector and then cause a reset and jump back to their real mode kernel. Or, it might be a very intrusive reset that results in memory contents being reset --- that's not going to be something worth engineering around. Either way, it's easier to just only use the A57 cores to begin with, and especially if switching between the two is problematic.

Yes, aware of the flaunted price increases. So inflation going down means the companies balked and have to back down and drop prices?

Let's break down this problem step by step. First, we know that Julia has three brothers. Then it is stated that each of her brothers has two sisters. This means there are two sisters for each brother. Since Julia is one of the sisters for her brothers, she also counts as one of their sisters. However, when counting the number of sisters for herself, she should not be included in the count. Therefore, Julia has three brothers and two sisters (excluding herself), so she has a total of five sisters.
