What an odd time period to pick, since this is peak Suburbia-McMansion sprawl.

It's a little bit different though, because Amazon has 2 streams of how they get products: Amazon can buy branded from vendor and control price and selection, or those same vendors could list directly on Amazon (as FBA) and the vendor

And the way Warren is describing splits, it sounds like GCP, Azure, and AWS would be spun out. Could you imagine if any combination of those three were allowed in the future to merge!

I don't think it'll be a priority because I'm not really sure if this is a real thing that Warren believes or if she's just throwing this out there to see if it has legs.

Also they've been hoovering up all the talent available they can get with fat salaries and stock grants.

I think we should also consider that even if you do break up a large company like that, you'd need to make sure they don't pull an AT&T and start merging with each other to basically re-create their previous structure.

It's like using ZeroHedge as your source of news. It is not inaccurate (they generally link to reputable sources), but potentially overblown or out of context.

It's kind of unfair to compare raw stats of kids who went to elite prep schools vs poor public schools. Like I was thinking about the amount of activities, tutors, private school my SO and I could pay for if we had a kid. And it was ki

People who commute from that county in Washington to work in Portland have to pay Oregon state income tax. Income tax makes up the bulk of Oregon's state budget which partially funds their K-12 system : https://ballotpedia.

I used one of the pop-ups to trade in my old broken Kindle, and it was a relatively pleasant experience. I think really the most negative part about the whole process was that the city I live in had AMZN pop-ups and book-stores, but only a

People used to come back from trips with obnoxiously long slideshows (physical slides) that you'd sit thru, because there was nothing better to look at.

The point about the size of the stations is very obvious in Chicago. Most of the stations were built 100 years ago, and are roughly the same size. A handful of stations have been rebuilt--at great cost. At some of the older stations, you

If anything SimCity, makes transit heavy options seem really easy to build. Building a new subway in the game is easier (and not very expensive) than re-doing a grid of roads in an area that's already developed.

Yeah I did this the other day when I was looking for a letter I thought I had given my SO, but apparently didn't. It was pretty helpful to go thru which day certain letters arrived so I could look thru all the potential places I put i

The first company I worked for did equal pay for all new hires, but pay raises and promotions were variable and the raise percentages varied on company performance (so a promotion could be +7% on quarter and then +6.5% the next quarter). We

I have a 2 person household, and I probably buy those above mentioned things like 2 times a year at most, so an order button for a single product would be wasteful. For people who use a lot of laundry detergent, I would imagine those people

As a less technical user, the number of sent emails is a little not straightforward to me. Like if I'm in a group email with 50 other people and I reply all, is that 50 separate emails or just one email charged?

That's terrible, and it could have easily been worse had the crash happened closer to Houston.

Oh dang. There are a bunch of hardware companies with offices in the North Dallas area (ex Ericsson, Nokia); I wonder if they're thinking of moving west or south to get out of the district.

My take is that maybe by that point that someone noticed all the product material had been printed or generated and someone else didn't want to redo it, or forgot, and hoped it would blow over.

I hope she expands on her use of Fiverr writers. I wonder what her workflow is with them if it's like she provides an overall theme and plot, or if the whole thing is just written by a ghostwriter. I can't imagine putting someth

It's too bad you can't just plug-in a license, passport number or something online and get a virtual card. Seems like such as wasted opportunity to expand access to resources for pretty much free.

The end is interesting that after the protections were lifted, Thumbs Up and Limca were quickly bought out by Coca-cola for a paltry sum of money ($40m). Seems like all those protections were for nothing in this case.

The US has a similar law, and Kohls settled a small $6m lawsuit a couple years ago over fake normal prices.

Most people do understand that you need to monitor your nutrition more on a vegetarian or vegan diet, especially if you're converting. For food that's a mimic, it's already hard enough to make something that tastes similar t

I think it's surprising that they'd be afraid of NYC unions, while operating without issue in Washington which is about just as union heavy as NY.

Layer in the fact that on Facebook--and other ad platforms--advertisers can import lists of people by name/contact info to target specifically using data from brokers, it gets creepier. I'm less bothered by a algorithm that track

I could see it if op is including discounts. Uber and Lyft for me go thru cycles of heavy promos followed by dry spells.

Yeah Facebook also does the same thing, but the name is stripped out if the account no longer exists.
