Why don't retailers of luxury durable goods use dynamic pricing? Surely Best Buy would love to charge the actual market price (~$800 from a quick eBay search) for a PS5. Sony could just auction batches of consoles to retailers and let

Apply to what? Lithuania has been a NATO member since 2004. This is literally the "eastward advance of NATO" which you referred to as a "moral mistake". You contradict yourself.

How do you think you would feel about that if you lived in Lithuania?

I think the comment you're responding to was using that as an example of a "silly opinion" that needs revising.

If both iOS and Android allowed sideloading this would be a much more attractive option. As it stands something like that isn't really worth while because most high-value consumers of mobile apps use iOS.

I really can't tell if the comment you are responding to is satire. "I don't know why Coinbase would ban me all I did was use their platform to launder money"

This makes perfect sense and fits in well with their games subscription offering [0]. I'll be sad to see Wordle go behind a paywall but this is great for the creator. [0] https://www.nytco.com/press/both-cooking-an

This seems to fit very nicely into the set of mini games they sell a separate subscription to. And if their own claims are to be believed it seems that they have already successfully monetized them https://www.nytco.com/pres

Can't speak for everywhere but in Washington state almost anything sold as a scooter or moped in fact requires a full motorcycle endorsement, liability insurance, annual registration, etc. The cutoff for a motorcycle endorsement is a m

Why include the infix operators at all then? If it's just as clear without them maybe even machine native types don't need them.

I think vector math is a compelling example but it is far from the only one. Bignum arithmetic is probably just as common if not more so, in fact I see that Zig actually has a bignum library built in if I understand correctly. Using that li

What did you think of the example in the article about vector math? Seems like that's an area where operator overloading actually makes the code more readable. Maybe it depends on the problem domain you're working in.

I got IPv6 working via 6rd on my Mikrotik router a few weeks ago following this forum post https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=160314#p788221 If you don't need a tunnel it should be pretty painless, just set up

While we're talking routers I'll plug Mikrotik. Some basic knowledge of the Linux networking stack is required so they're not great for a general user, but for ~$50 I got a device that handles my setup with ease (Ipv4 over PP

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, what you wrote to me here is absolutely dripping with condescension. Maybe we just don't agree on what that word means? In my view, writing the following to a stranger whose life you know n

This is first of all so condescending and second of all so defeatist. Isn't it possible to have a life outside of work and still want to leave your house and see people IRL for the 8+ hours per day you spend working? Just because I hav

I'm surprised by the tone of the responses here so far. As much as we might or might not like the new digital user interfaces in modern cars, the value of the safety features like automatic braking and collision avoidance is pretty muc

I'm definitely outside my wheelhouse here, so maybe help me understand the current fixation on and criticism of JIT. Are you advocating for more buffers in supply chains generally? If the current scenario is one where goods purchases w

All of this talk about supply chain issues are totally missing the point in my opinion. So many articles (and tweet chains I guess) have been written about supply chain issues, yet every one of them seems to ignore the elephant in the room

The fact that ABS isn't standard on more bikes (especially e-bikes) is crazy to me.

That's absolutely true, but is that what's happening? That seems like a really important question for this article (and the legion of others like it) to tackle. The linked article even mentions demand in the subhead, and then basi

There has been endless coverage of the supply side of current economic weirdness affecting the world, but scant coverage of the demand side. Yet if this blog post[0] that was discussed here a couple of weeks ago is to be believed spending o

With that scheme an attacker who gets access to a code (no matter how old) can then generate their own going forward. The hash function here means that even if someone obtains a code they can't generate other codes.

I guess that's possible, but it's hard for me to imagine that with billions of dollars at stake they didn't even consider it. I think they made the calculation that forcing their customers and creators to use crypto would los

The fact that OnlyFans isn't even trying to move to crypto to keep their business alive is a stunning indictment of the state of crypto as a viable payment method.
