Shopping around addresses only a small part of the purpose of “call us” pricing. It’s not so much about hiding the price of a vendor relative to the competition, as it is about hiding the price offered to one customer relative to other cust

Yea, on the margin, they will be less likely to know the exact magnitude of the difference and (probably more importantly) less likely to be reminded (IE every time leadership asks “Refer your friends!” and they click the engineering job po

In fact, in enterprise sales, the product price is usually hidden behind a phone call step, for precisely the reason that it enables customer segmentation and price discrimination. People complain about this, but it’s not going away, as it

Yikes. Sounds like rink management has multiple problems.

Would you kindly confirm your story involves an outdoor rink? (My mind conjures a miserably cold indoor rink and I’m shuddering; the story as told is unnecessarily confusing because the ice rink detail is immaterial, the important detail

$15 is already equal to the proposed federal minimum wage under the current administration. They should automate because lugging batteries isn’t a healthy fit for many of the humans that they are attracting at this low wage.

They have the $15/hour contractors lugging batteries, hell yea they should invest in automation, but unfortunately as you point out the legal environment does not incentivize them to do so.

Or, your state could protect W-2 employees’ IP developed on personal time and equipment, as California does. You are barking up the wrong tree.

Thanks. My application layer bias is showing. We will always need octet in the low-level networking domain, huh.

By the way, the handy word for an 8-bit byte is “octet” (I have not observed octet used in the software industry, only in school. Don’t use it at work or you might come across as an ass...) I was curious and searched HN and found this 2012

My Sennheiser PC37X (their conservative/stealth-looking gaming headset) has the lift-to-mute. I was excited about this feature but struggled to remember to unmute myself and gave up using it. I would like an LED indicator somewhere.

Replying to your reply, I don’t buy it. Your experience now on Starlink is analogous to being the first WISP subscriber on a newly deployed AP. Time will tell anyway. (And I will still be a grateful Starlink customer at my off-grid cabin, e

Relative to the helpful details on LTE you posted, though? (Obviously Starlink is incomparably better than the status quo satellite options...) Why do you expect better than LTE? And would you say more about WISP behavior? I know WISPs are

First, your point about planning time is important, thanks for adding that. Regarding my point, it's possible that the planner may provide a better (on average, faster executed) plan for a given key, if that key is not found in stats,

by gkop 6y ago
Don’t blindly set stats to 10000, an intermediate value between the default of 100 and the max of 10000 may give you the best plans; experiment to find out.
