The problem—or one of them, anyway—is that customers hate dynamic pricing almost as much as they hate normal price increases. […] But as it stands, dynamic pricing is largely regarded as legal, as long as sellers don't use protected characteristics such as race or gender to determine what buyers will pay. The algorithmic nature of dynamic pricing also gives sellers plausible deniability; who's to say which data points were dispositive? The main risk for retailers is one of perception.
Controversies about his past loutishness should not be dispositive when deciding whether he should be confirmed. There are ample other reasons to reject his nomination.

The VCLT is also applicable to treaties that are the constituent instrument of an international organisation and to treaties that have been adopted within an international organisation (Art 5 VCLT). However, in this (as well as other respect(s)), the VCLT is of a dispositive nature. The rules that apply in the first place are the rules of the international organisation itself as established under its constituent instrument and internal law. Thus, when a constituent treaty of an international organisation does not contain any provisions concerning the termination of membersip, the rules of the VCLT become relevant (Art. 56 VCLT).

In many environments, evapotranspiration makes up a larger proportion of the catchment water balance than the stream discharge. Thus, for longer periods of rainfall–runoff simulation, it will generally be necessary to estimate actual evapotranspiration losses from a catchment in order to have an adequate representation of the antecedent state of the catchment prior to each rainfall event.
SWAP estimates that all the components of the water balance and the simulated evapotranspirations do not comprise percolation.[…]Figure 10A shows the ratios between sugarbeet evapotranspirations estimated by water balance and the SWAP-simulated evapotranspirations.
