It's often about incentives. Why buy if you can wait until the shop is about to close and get it for free? Or as an employee, why care about food wastage if it gives you lot of free goods you can take home?

This lacingpattern looks like the same used on bicycle shoes for some years. For an example see "shimano rc9". Not adjusted by a motor, though. Think it's called Boa lacing.

And the evidence that it's the neighbours aren't exactly damning. I would expect it to be someone from close by snatching packages.

I wonder why Google is so bad at picking up that these pages are clickfarms, and not instead return the original when searching. In my native language (norwegian), I have lately had issues with searching for stuff, opening the page linked b

It's cool to toy with Tetris. Did it myself as a student, can't remember all the stuff I tried. But one thing I did was to make the blocks go invisible a few seconds after landing. Fun to try and remember the state of the board.

Not the same kind of loop, but a few years ago I had to quickly fix email sending in some PHP service. Being rusty in PHP, I at least managed to write a for loop iterating over the list and send mails. Or so I thought. I had forgot "$&

You can search for "the 4 percent rule" or "trinity study" if you're curious about more. But basically, stock markets over long time average 7-8%. Subtracting inflation gives you a rule of thumb of 4% that historica

I'd wager 20% of Norway or more has been actively following these games. Everyone has been talking about it, the last few weeks the lunch at work has been mostly discussing the game the night before. All over the media. Biggest tv chan

Race to the bottom between states (and governments) to attract big businesses. Tragedy of the commons. It's also unfair for the smaller players, they never get the same kind of treatment.
