It’s not about how much value your labor provides. It’s about how much unique value your labor provides. Most IBs aren’t making millions in the same way that most engineers are making what a Principal at a FAANG makes.

It’s more work on mobile than just copying the link. If someone really cares, they will come along and de-amp it like you did. I personally don’t get the zealotry on this issue is for news sites. Non-news I understand, but I usually prefer

Restaurants only pay because consumers demand it and would not visit the restaurant otherwise. That’s not rent seeking. That’s market forces. And what they pay correlates with how much their customers demand coke/Pepsi.

This is incorrect. Companies do the experiments. They just don’t publish the results. Why would they? The idea that Amazon doesn’t know the ROI on their ad/marketing spend is laughable.

From a journalistic standpoint, including the formula would require a longer digression into contour integrals than the one clause the article currently contains. It’s also not clear what license that image is available under.

It wasn’t even a real intelligent agency that drummed up support for war. It was a temporary agency created by Rumsfelds and Cheney with the Orwellian name of “Office of Special Plans.” They deliberately lied and misused raw intelligence si

I’m not worried about in-building coverage. Most buildings have WiFi. I’m talking about walking block to block. If many more blocks have antennas, then my problem is solved.

Walking around a big city leaves a lot to be desired with 4G. There are constant dead zones, bad hand-offs, poorly configured repeaters, and endless cement/concrete. I am very much looking forward to 5G foxing this.

Apple Maps is way better than Google for the wandering pedestrian. Google hides so many restaurants and bars that don’t pay them for prominent display. Apple Maps shows every place near my location. Obviously hasn’t mattered recently, but I

I agree with you in theory. I really hate that the fast.ai course uses their own fast.ai library. Numpy is a bit different though as it “fixes” inefficiencies in Python’s typing system. A list of Python integers is actually a list of C stru

Preparing for a hurricane in Florida means building a house entirely out of concrete, moving, or accepting you will lose a lot of your stuff at some point. All of those options cost a lot of money.

I’m not sure commingling is as big a problem as you imply. Amazon’s inventory system is random so every item can essentially be tracked by location. Even with commingling, if there is a counterfeit all the inventory from the original source
