You're probably right about astroturfing. It's part of the reason the Hail Corporate subreddit exists. I'd be interested to see the ratio of lurkers to posters. Reddit is a link aggregator, it's primary utility is unrela

Because Reddit and Facebook really aren't all that similar. Facebook is like the "book club" that is really a front for gossiping and drinking. You probably know the people you're talking to personally and it's more

That's survivorship bias. There was lots of junk made in the 70s-80s, it's just not around any longer because it wore out and was discarded. Average quality isn't any worse than it was 40 years ago; most mass manufactured goo

Yes, but this ends up being misleading because it fails to account for advances in manufacturing technology. It's far cheaper to make shoes today than it was in 1976 because manufacturing is far more automated and vastly more outsource

It's why standard base pay plus 'incentive/commission' tends to work the best. Let me expand. Everyone gets paid the same base rate. Then you give an incentive based on KPIs that AREN'T easily manipulated by an empl

Because it's really not a huge win for Apple, it's more of a huge loss because of what they lost on, and it's not really a huge loss for Epic, because iOS market revenue is meaningless in their operations. Devs could, for exa

You can drop the '3rd and 2nd worlds' part. It's used for the treatment of parasites in the 1st world as well. I'm not a infectious diseases expert, but to my knowledge the viruses that it's been found to be effecti

It's in significant use in humans as a dewormer, though. It's used in humans to treat river blindness which is caused by a worm. It's also used for the prevention of worms in dogs. It's fair to call it a dewormer, even i

>No, when a company uses its revenues to buy stuff and hold onto it, the government counts the value of that stuff as profits This is not quite right, though it is mostly correct in describing depreciation. When you purchase a depreciati

The original start of this thread by jxramos was referring to how inventory was taxed. "curious, who's taxing for inventory?" You responded: >Corporations are taxed on assets that they accrue (increases in total holdings a

>These taxes reduce the amount of money you can spend on capital equipment, inventories, and facilities, which reduces your maximum rate of growth. I mean, yes, but not really. They're not a meaningful portion of their revenues. Typ

1) The US just uses the chip instead of the mag stripe. It doesn't use a PIN on most cards. Chip cards were mandated, but not using a PIN. Even on a debit card, if your bank allows the card to be used as a credit card, won't requi

So unless I'm missing something important, why not just use docker engine directly on a wsl2 instance?

I'm not sure why they don't just create a business version branded separately from their gaming product. Even if it's just 'Discord for Business' a second client for business would solve almost all these problems. I

Are you serious? How do you think the clay pot ended up being recovered by an archeologist? There's pretty much two ways... You should look up some TikTok creators from Egypt, there is plenty of great stuff out there. The basic premise

In one case, people are viewing something created specifically for people's entertainment. In the other case, it's detritus or grave goods we're viewing.

It's made by individuals, not TikTok? I'm not really sure if you know what TikTok is after this comment. Just to clarify, TikTok does not do ad revenue sharing. They have a creator fund, but TikTok creators really make money via b

Reading this, I just want to see the "scholarly approach" to TikTok. That sounds like some nice performance art. Alternatively, this is the kind of thing guys like Banksy and Warhol were doing with their art. It's a pretty na

The 'culturally significant art' you're talking about was created for money. It's not any different than TikTok, it's just from long ago. TikTok is refined Vine and some of those Vines were worth preserving and spaw

I agree with most of what you wrote, but there are a couple of things you may not have considered. > You simply sign the back and take it to the bank and they will give you cash. If you do not have an account there, they will charge you

It's not really better for the environment because you have all the byproducts of the combustion, some of which can be pretty toxic themselves.

Leasing is still terrible unless you're a business replacing your vehicle on a schedule. If you buy a car new and keep it for a decade, you'll be ahead even including maintenance. Many dealerships offer free maintenance during the

This is just absurd, JIRA wouldn't exist if you couldn't break down work into independent tasks. You're effectively saying assembly lines can't exist. Tasks can be completed by individuals regardless of where they are.
