Shoes that retail for $120-$150 don’t cost $100 to make. Normal shoes cost like $20 to make. The rest of the costs are transportation, warehousing, marketing, etc. Also remember that retail takes a 25-35% cut. I would expect a shoe that cos

I don’t see any references to nazis in there. The article says “Victorian phrenology”, not “nazi phrenology”. Calling it a Victorian practice isn’t unreasonable. Technically phrenology was most popular immediately before the beginning of th

The UK has eliminated cookie pop up requirements. However, they have introduced other legislation that requires websites to establish the ages of all visitors via checking legal ID so that adult content can be restricted. This is expected t

Aurora 4X is pretty bad - it's as confusing as DF, but much more clumsy to use. Some dungeon crawl games have incredibly opaque UIs. System Shock 1 (non-enhanced) feels really, really terrible now, but I'm not sure it was as bad a

> At the end, the workplace is still arguably a far bigger deciding factor in the outcome than who you hire. I really don’t think this is true. Are there any successful programming companies who just hire whoever for development work? Al

Yeah, I think this is the crux of it. Hiring sucks for everybody involved. I hate it because the process is ugly and the cost of failure is enormous (emotionally to me, financially to my budget, and personally to my reputation).

Vanilla extract is listed - I’ve recently been using homemade extract. I originally did this because I ran out during a covid spike, but it works well enough that I’ll probably continue doing it. It’s relatively straightforward. Just chuck

The big reasons I could see would be that a) you don’t trust the people behind the first one (or the country they’re based in, etc) b) the underlying technology of the new coin is more appealing (tx/s, smart contracts, fees, etc) That

I don't think this post means as much as people are acting like it does. The indicators of being a spambot they have in their post seem VERY iffy to me. "Not tweeting in the past 120 days", "Location set to a non resolvi

Bull market doesn’t mean inflationary, it just means that the market trend is upwards. But to your actual question: Not according to Wikipedia at least. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_trend It seems “Bear Marke

No, that's not legal. Trying to back out of this deal because market fluctuations caused the company to be worth less than he wanted would be very, very much against his contract. He can only back out is Twitter's securities filin

Hmm. Has YouTube been in the news for hiring broadcast execs? As somebody who is connected to broadcast, that doesn’t seem right to me - broadcast TV tends to be very control-freak-ish and the higher ups LOVE data, and I really doubt a broa

Embracer bought lots of things, not just Deus Ex. Companies acquire IPs in bulk buys all the time that they never do anything with (Gex being a good example). That said the linked article says that Eidos Montreal is working on a Deus Ex gam

Some “nice” bits of government I’ve hit recently in Canada: When my kid was born I was given a convenient form to fill out that registered my child’s birth, applied for a SIN, applied for the relevant tax breaks, and registered me to be con

The downwards camera for stabilization and landing is a cool idea. Did they come up with that, or has that been done before?

There’s an alternative explanation to why the board did what they did: Musk has played fast and loose with “I have the funding for this deal” and “I am correctly disclosing my share purchases” in the past. The poison pill was a way to get h

I tried shapr - it’s a lovely app, but the free version is extremely limited (only two files!) and $240 per year for the cheapest paid option is pretty steep.

Have you tried onshape? It’s honestly pretty fantastic, and I think it shows that you can have good browser based CAD that can run on non-desktop hardware.

I guess my dumb question is: with a Ukraine-style conflict where there’s a ton of ATGMs floating around, do even properly-supported tanks actually provide net value or do they just soak up friendly infantry resources that could be devoted t

I was waiting to see a weird gotcha about multiplication not being atomic or something. Actually, question for people with more low-level knowledge than me: is that solution atomic?

With all due respect, I feel the quote is a bit pithy here. Not all things which are gradual become sudden, and the quote doesn’t give any proof that this is one of those things.

Hunh. Does this definitely use the e911 system for tracking? If so, there’s sort of a well-poisoning thing going on here. Most people would like 911 be able to figure out where they’re calling from in an emergency, but if this is going to b

Does anybody have info on how this works on a technical level? I.e., is it an actual report of the phone’s GPS position, or is it tower-side triangulation? If the former, do all devices support it?

If social media companies actually had the true power to remove topics from public discussion, there would not be public discussion on increasing regulation on these companies or breaking them up.
