Aren't rando outsiders effectively "The Market"? Appealing to the authority of "The Market", as if it is this great metric of truth, while it currently runs around like a chicken with its head cut off, is not the be

Market has never been wrong, bandwagoned or knee-jerked before.

Why would they not increase executive pay, raise prices and deliver worse service? Private industry is not perfect at utilizing resources or delivering great products all the time. You just assume they will deliver a better product, but the

Doesn't gaming the system to increase profits by increasing costs show malevolent motives which would not be fixed by removing profit restrictions? I mean if you're "evil" with regulations, why should I trust that removi

That sounds incredibly customer hostile. "Let's send you to the wrong location and waste your time, oh and while you're there, do our job for us!"

No, the point is that they may already be advising someone on how to manage a brand for a business, a business that potentially they didn't really know if that someone is actually a representative of the brand? They may be granting acc

If you really don't trust the the information the person has provided to give you money you probably should not be accepting their money.

How was this not already a thing? How does Google not already have a billing address on file for all the advertisers they're accepting money from? It seems like this shouldn't have ever been "voluntary information".

The reality is that food delivery already has high costs for vehicle maintenance and the person doing the delivery often bears that burden themselves, as well as being typically underpaid or in danger of wage insecurity, along with lack of

It would be kind of interesting if skyscrapers were connected to each other via gondola lifts/aerial trams. However, I don't think this could be retrofitted, since likely supporting the cabling and trams was not in the original st

I have a Logitech H390 which is better than any headset I ever used in call center(mainly Plantronics). It has inline mute. It's only $30 - $40. Also the call systems I was using were often crap, where every 30th call would just be sta

You might if you can demonstrate that the employer had a hazardous work environment. Given reports of conditions in some Amazon centers, a person could probably make a strong case, especially if they are someone or know someone who falls in

Yes, a lot of companies rely on you feeling personally bad for the person you're dealing with when having an issue with the company as a whole. The company tries to "humanize" themselves in this way by tossing a peon/cog

Wouldn't their value add here be that they can quickly do due diligence and expedite these loans given their expertise in the field? Seems you're extolling their ability to perform quickly, while also excusing away their inability

Chrome 81, still get GIFs.

Robosigning and NINA loans of the past lead me to be skeptical.

GIF only allows 256 colors per frame, so not really lossless when it comes to photos/video that exceed that limit. I guess there are some hacks around this, but typically they're not used.

The software is released, but I would like to see the actual encode instead of the phony looking side-by-side GIF.

That demo looks too good for 30kbps for any codec, especially single pass real time. I am skeptical. Also find it funny they use a 2.5MB GIF to show a demo for ultra video compression. https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uni

Most consumers do not have optical infrastructure, nor need L3/L2 management functionality, and most probably don't need 10G speeds. Likely the cost-per-port results in additional enterprise features being added to enterprise-grad

I can get an 8-port gigabit switch for $15 on sale. Where is my dirt cheap 10G switch? Also "PoE" uses more power because it's actually powering a separate device entirely, that's not related to the 10G IC power consumpt

That example suggests a significant amount is funded out of fuel taxes and toll fees, and seems to be kind of a mouthpiece for the energy industry to try to get rid of taxes on fuel.

Much of road infrastructure is funded via fuel taxes . Roads or "roads" with track laid are also needed for public transportation.

There are niche scenarios where a horse is more useful(e.g. rough terrain), but for 99.9% of the scenarios of modern life, a car/motor is more powerful and reliable. Horses are also noisy(clop clop clop) and have been known to trample

Supersonic flight is inefficient and noisy. Drones are noisy, a hazard, and significantly more limited due to lithium density than electric cars. High-speed rail is not illegal, but requires huge capital. Uber may not be economically viable

Then how do you punish China for their actions? Right now the way the US behaves only further encourages their behavior. There is an economic price to pay to take the moral high ground, and it's a price that no one seems to want to pay

I would be leery of saying we're doing anything other than feeding the beast at the moment. Yes common citizens may have seen some improvement in QoL, but the regime is more powerful than ever.

by Klinky 7y ago
Then why is any corporation or person allowed any involvement with China? Where are the heavy-duty sanctions to punish China and those businesses who interact with it? You'll hear this big anti-China talk, but no one actually wants to

Corporations need the cheap repressed labor as much as China needs US Dollars. It's the perverse incentives of capitalism. Quality of life and human rights crusades are a potential byproduct of capitalism, not the goal, nor in anyway g
