There was some overhead to commingling once it got extended to FBA, because in order to increase commingling they did attempt to track inventory provenance information even on commingled inventory. My first job out of college in 2013 was

ah, to be clear, I'm not really talking about anyone's individual values here. It may well be that a person is as rewarded, or even moreso, getting to work on some pie-in-the-sky foolish idea as they are one that is productive for

imo it's a cultural thing specific to organizations which are raking in money, as many tech companies are. The less actual competitive pressure there is the more everyone is pressured to just shut up and take their cut. Whether it&#x27

the point of expertise and intelligence is, in part, to be able to know what's going to happen BEFORE doing it. Perhaps without even doing it. You could be wrong, sure -- but there has to be a rate of that happening, and the more intel

of course they're wasting their time. a year of work deleted? all you have to show for it is money? you could have money AND something to be proud of. what a waste it was, to do something pointless for a year when you could have done s

that's the attitude of an unethical person, yes (also that of a "non-ethical" person, like an animal or a person with no agency in the matter, if you want to make the distinction. I'm not sure we should but I guess it&#x

that's not how morality works... morality is about doing what you think is right instead of excusing yourself not doing it. If you think a bad thing is going to happen that you have agency to prevent, that's on you. Whether you ha

Letting it die is the self-serving, career-optimizing, amoral take. But it's more ethical to stand up for what's right even at personal cost. A bunch of people wasting years of their life, not to mention all the resources, is a tr

The only countervailing forces are: * landlords not wanting as much money (unlikely, although it happens at small scales) * rent control-type policies * competition And as far as I know competition is the only thing that works at scale. Alt

What you seem to want is to fill the comment section with deranged rambling

well the target audience is people who do enjoy it. so, not you. maybe there's a whole dubious narrative about why... or maybe they just have tastes that seem simple and basic to you. why not?

by ajkjk 10mo ago
maybe I think those things, or maybe I think totally different things; you have no way of knowing

by ajkjk 10mo ago
well you can say all that but it doesn't hold up to experience. The culture feels very different here. So, no, it's not the same.

wouldn't say that... they're very distinctly not like people, that's (part of) the problem. But I don't think the difference is measured exactly in the choices of words and punctuation. It's more like... you can tel

found the guy who didn't know about em dashes before this year also your question implies a bad assumption even if you disclaim it. if you don't want to imply a bad assumption the way to do that is to not say the words, not discla

It's not "we assume strings and deduce QM" it's "strings are a model which is defined so as to produce QM and also...". It is, by design, a theory of QM and GR. That's the point. It's a claim about wh

by ajkjk 10mo ago
The string theory model is structured from the start to reproduce existing theories as a consequence, so the problem here is a lack of understanding on your part rather than a mistake in the theory. I do suspect that most people who are wor

whether or not string theory is at this point grifty and weird, the theoretical basis for it is far stronger than you would think based only on reading critics / pop sci explainers. It is not like, missing any obvious physical facts

er? No we are talking about the attribution of blame. If you're saying "what a shame that iRobot is being sold to Chinese competitors" and then you "...because of the FTC" you're essentially lying; it's be

by ajkjk 10mo ago
The point is that "sold to Amazon" or "sold to chinese competitors" being the only options is a false narrative. There was also the "do a good job" option which is being conveniently omitted by people who want

well, condescension aside, literally what would they do? there's nothing remotely illegal about posting the name of a site in a forum. and here you are trying to get me to be as scared as you are about posting a basic fact in a forum a
