When I worked at BEA (which I think published its prices), the steep discounts on a crazy high price actually had a clever reason — evidently the sales team could discount the list price pretty freely, but they were forbidden to discount th

Olive oil is so much cheaper in bulk. Do you have any tips for how to preserve it? Intuitively, I would assume that re-bottling a large volume into several small bottles (and then keeping the extras sealed and in the dark) would be better t

Google Flights does this. It’s so frustrating. It displays prices in local currency, no matter how many times you go to the menu and pick a currency. And it always uses local calendar alignment, which is “fun”.

It’s crazy that he’s announcing his departure 9 months in advance. He’ll be a lame duck leader for a huge chunk of that. I get it that they want time to find a replacement etc, but 9 months is an awfully long time to be on the way out.
