In theory surge pricing should bring more drivers into the area making the service better for riders. Not sure how much that actually works out in practice though without data only Uber really has.

I've always wondered what actually breaks if 1 is prime or conversely what defining 1 as not prime gives us. Got just far enough into my math degree before switching to CompSci to stay of of universities the rest of my life to want to

I was wondering about that not knowing exactly how age affected the ranking of comments. Does seem like it'd be way easier to just fake the whole thing. I wonder if they show up as newer in the individual users' comment views too?

To complete the illusion of freshness I guess. I don't see a big issue with doing that as part of the feature.

Not really. Interesting posts can get buried easily just because they were posted at a bad time and people don't delve that far into the second or further pages. It's been going for almost 9 years now. I think it's a good ide

The first two shouldn't matter because the entirety of the code is verified and anyone can check the verification. The last is an issue with any cryptography but verification doesn't try to address that only that the code does pre

The problem is I missed it wasn't ms like the rest of them. Still stands though you'll lose too much density by the time it's weighed even assuming you could mass create the Mt all at once.

I believe they mean collector value hence them being worth less than their face value (which should in theory be the rough floor for them since they're still valid postage).

There are some towns trying to do that but it's being viciously fought by the cable companies who love their little seminatural monopolies.

Part of it is that the plants have been optimized for durability in transport, harvesting etc not just flavor. Farmers Markets here in the US or smaller chains are more likely to have the better produce but not guaranteed depending on where

Xfinity is Comcast which I don't think has much connection to the Baby Bells or their reconsolidation. Unfortunately the the cost of running cable to the broad US suburbs is a pretty big natural barrier to competition. https:/&#x

What would be the actual case against them these days? They've lost their dominant position in nearly everything except desktop OS, if they're being anticompetitive they're doing a pretty bad job of it.

We were getting the slow and steady version at least for chip manufacturing with the CHIPS Act but Trump has a major need to get credit for everything so that's being torn apart too. The US faces a much tougher hill to climb though in

Those are all local systems, all the cross country and intercity (for cities where their suburbs haven't merged like Chicago or the NE) stuff has to share tracks with cargo rail. That lack of delays from cargo is also why they work a l

You can compare it to other companies in the sector that didn't so publicly come out trashing their DEI programs to know if that's an additional factor and when you do you see Target has fallen farther than the rest in most metric

Target also lost more than Walmart and basically all other retailers. There's a general downturn but Target's is steeper than others so it's likely the boycott is having an additive effect.

There have been attempts to do the same in the US. It's blocked by two blocks; the tax preparation companies who make bank every year charging people for their services, and generally anti tax people who want the process to be painful

One large problem is passenger rail is a second class citizen on US rail, legally it’s supposed to be given priority but ultimately it’s all on private rail and enforcement is non existent so it’ll get delayed for things caused by cargo. I

There's ways to do that that aren't the mindless slash and burn that's happening right now. If it were done thoughtfully I'm sure there's places that some fat could be trimmed. (And if you're looking for places

The margins get really thin after the first 2 billion or so. Middle income globally is ~10-20 PPP dollars a day and that's only ~17% of the world's population. They're generally radically different phones between markets too
