I have not used this specific tool, but have used https://community.coherentpdf.com/ for the cropping/rescaling. And in general "printing" (posters) is what I have used it for (books make sense though as well

So showing up 1-2 minutes earlier does indeed increase survival rates. For instances in which someone is actually shot, I estimate that -2 minutes = 1% increase in survival, https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007&#x2

High yields are 5% now -- I get who cares about 2k now, personally I wish I did the high yield earlier. I did somewhat similar to OP for maybe 10 years and lost out on low 5 figures when I go back and calculate interest lost. I am familiar

I imagine you have gotten this advice before, but IMO a high yield savings probably makes sense. Say keep 10k in checking for bills, and then the other 40k in high yield. It will more than easily pay for the safe deposit box! For myself we

The scale of health insurance claims is incredible, my company has a process that simply identifies when car insurance should pay the bill instead of medicaid/medicare post traffic accident (subrogation). Seems a minor thing right? We

Similar to pmx's point, an implicit assumption in this (which is unlikely to be true in many scenario's) is that the there is a negligible spread in the distribution of revenue per customer. Imagine if you have one whale customer

This is not inconsistent with How to Measure Anything IMO (I like that book as well). The biggest issue to me is that he does not define actual follow ups on ROI -- it is all estimated in this framework. So it is all good to define how to p

OP for sharing this on hackernews (and I talked to Tyler Dukes a bit about this). I think ALPR's are good investments, but having more rigorous standards in place for when people can do searches is necessary. There are rules for when y
