If high sandwich prices are a tax to cover the operation costs, it's certainly an odd one. Why should people who pack their own travel food be subsidized by those who are not?

Is the algorithm "select * from companies order by market_cap desc limit 500"? At the risk of oversimplifying, there should be quite little to debate, and when some hair-splitting occurs, I trust a committee of reasonable humans w

How could Elon be unaware this is going on, and not let go of all of these people? Or is this how he wants to engage with his companies? The latter certainly is not a far-fetched idea, a decent proportion of leaders have an ego.

Not even less food, but also lower quality. I did grocery pickup and got marked-down, expires-that-day meat. They typically have a coupon attached to the package -- they ripped that off and didn't give me the discount.

Price-conscious consumers will absolutely take a good deal but build no brand loyalty. They'll hop from sale to sale. Businesses live and die by customer acquisition costs. You're better off offering deals to customers who've

Poorly phrased. React has no inherent a11y issue. People misapply it too frequently due to a lack of fundamental knowledge. MFA's cater towards building less interactive content, and more so static pages, so they are less likely to hav

A more fruitful way to think about the degree of opinionated would be to compare to alternatives. If "className" versus "class" is too much 'opinion' maybe vanilla JS is best for your eclectic taste. Also, you&

You need to have a first-class understanding of accessibility to not have a11y problems. If your MPA framework allows you to define an "onClick" handler with a div tag, you're back in React's set of accessibility problem

For there to be a bubble, it has to be pierced. We haven't seen that with React. We did see that with Angular. I think the reason why the bubble did burst with Angular is because it made many opinions about things, and the more opinion

> Consumers cannot just say "food is too expensive for me, so I think I'm going to to go without it this month". One could be temporarily elastic, e.g. thaw meats from the freezer, eat shelf-stable food from the pantry. An

There's other dimensions than the quality of the toothpaste. The dispenser provides a significantly better usability experience if you're willing to spend an extra $1. The cheapest toothpastes are screw caps that can fall on the f

Banks don't buy eggs, but they do buy mortgage-backed securities. The focus on eggs is a red herring. Eggs are what, 0.15% of a middle class household's monthly budget, and housing is at least >30%? I would have much less objec

The follow-on prompts would be to refactor the existing system to solve the scalability issues. You'd need to be able to feed in the existing codebase for that, though.

I don't understand the pivot back to SSR. Tearing down and standing up the entire DOM and page memory between navigations is just unnecessary work. Little things like maintaining scroll position in the page's navigation bar meanin

If the revealed preference of everyone is short, terse speech, why isn't business writing optimizing for that?

The Chief Financial Officer doesn't tell me exactly how to spend money, hire, fire, etc. Yet, we have a CFO. The analogy doesn't land for me because CDO's are cross-cutting in manners analogous to other CXO functions. To me,

It would be yellow journalism if there wasn't a bank run and there wasn't forced liquidations of underwater assets. It is completely germaine to consider how these unrealized losses impact the financial system.

I know many good, hardworking people who secured their position on the housing ladder in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. In conversation, they were bewildered by how much their homes appreciated even by 2018, well before the p

Banks depend on depositor's money to generate loans. How would loans be generated, then, if consumers kept their money with the central bank? Issuing debt is a key engine for economic growth. This would incur an extremely contractionar

It's surprising that QT is occurring, yet there was no change in reserve requirements. It seems like a policy tool that would be part of the monetary tightening toolbelt.

It's intriguing how many marketplaces have adopted this model. There must be some short-term optimization occurring.

The more practical scalability problem is engineers won't understand the nuance between import from lodash and 'lodash/someFunction'. You then only need one engineer to import 'lodash' and there goes your tree

How is it exactly a retirement plan if your house goes up 200% over N years, but so do all of your neighbor's homes? You aren't changing your relative position to them.

Why don't people attempt gaining perspective from their opposing political party? It's tough to break through ego's, for one. But secondarily, what's happening in China isn't directly relevant to many HN readers. On
