I just installed Windows Pro on a new machine the other day with a key given to me by a friend. During the install process it asks if you want to use a personal account or domain account to log in. My guess would be you’d have to pick the d

Another commenter pointed out the factual error about vitamin D coming from IR vs. UV, but there’s another misconception in this post. The amount of IR you get exposed to is not the same thing as how warm your room is. If you touch a hot p

The common knowledge is that Microsoft doesn’t need to be worried about antitrust action because they don’t have a monopoly on the OS anymore. But on the other hand, a lot of people are talking about antitrust against the other tech giants

That story happened when both the company and financial markets in general were in the dumps. As you can see from the headline, times have changed.

I don’t think that definition is right. Nobody will argue that Apple isn’t a tech company, and the iPhone isn’t zero-marginal-cost.

There’s a public process when provisions are added to the laws, but the discussions where each side figures out whether their proposal is going to pass happens in private before the actual votes.

This is how negotiations work everywhere for any kind of deal. Think of some successful past legislation you support - I guarantee that it was negotiated behind closed doors. Negotiation requires fluidly proposing alternatives in a give-and

Perhaps you’re eating some food that has been supplemented with vitamin D. For example, one cup of milk fortified with vitamin D might have 100 UI (as much as six steaks).

Humans in Northern Europe have adapted to those conditions with very light skin that maximizes sunlight exposure. > And how do you that for a fact? It's nutrition science. It's not reliable. These numbers of how much we need ha

At the grocery store I can bolt at a moment’s notice if I see anything sketchy happening. No can do on an airplane. There could be a guy sitting next to me and coughing all over me for hours.

I read that there is 15 UI of vitamin D in a steak. You need 25 or 100 times that per day. It’s more likely that humans evolved to get their vitamin D from sunlight (although we also know that introduces cancer risk) than eating a whole cow

Wow, that’s astonishingly cheap. What’s wrong with these? How is the range? Can they drive at highway speeds?

I wonder if the deployment of EV charging infrastructure is how society starts recognizing the costs of free parking.

This way of thinking doesn’t quite make sense to me. Since those companies are huge, they could within them contain an organization that has more resources than Dropbox dedicated to storage. This organization will be completely focused on t

As an advertiser how do I buy user data from Google photos?

How do they make money from giving their users free photo storage? I think the only path for that to be profitable was to grow the username for future subscription revenue.

So these random people are going to be put in power without making any ideological commitments, no platform, no coalition, no campaign promises. Where are these rookies going to get policy ideas if not from the lobbyists whose job is to con

From my perspective, that’s pretty much how it works anyway. At the end of the day you’re sampling from a distribution. You can improve the outcome by networking, interview prep, and negotiation strategy but all of those are just changing t

I don’t find it too surprising that more Democrats have an opinion of QAnon. There’s a small segment of people who actually have consumed the material and believe in it, and a much larger set who have heard of it and have a vague (and possi

The important question is how much demand does each dollar of marketing create. It would be poor decision-making to just assume marketing is a bad idea because they are already able to sell through everything at current prices. Presumably t

by shajznnckfke 6y ago
Demand is affected by price. If marketing increased demand they could sell the same number of units for a higher price.

I can imagine some marketing genius saying that “up” and “lift” are both positive words while “in” and “crease” are neutral.

Auctions feel unfair to consumers. The free marketing hype from the product selling out may be worth a lot more to them than selling a few consumer-grade units for high prices at auction. It’s possible AMD knowingly targeted stock levels an

Yeah, I don’t think this thread is entirely relevant to this particular case, but the parent comment was about the anti-tech actions uniting the two political parties.

I think that there’s a dichotomy between east coast oil/finance/defense/old money power and west coast tech money power that’s somewhat independent of the right-left political dichotomy. There’s a desire among Washington and

> Inflation is a vector NOT a real number, any asset that people care about has become generally unaffordable i.e: housing, education, healthcare. Inflation is not the cause of unaffordability in those areas, the cause is limited supply.

“Deserve” doesn’t do anything for the people hurt by this, and it doesn’t justify the behavior of the hackers.

This seems like a general argument against product reviews. The manufacturers are surely going to track the results of these tests and try to improve their rankings. Publishing the results doesn’t prevent that, it just gives consumers that

I’d expect that they are doing that. This story only quotes a few reviews, but we don’t know how many more customers complained through Amazon’s customer service system (customers are probably more likely to do a return than write a public

You can use Amazon for fulfillment without participating in commingled inventory. In that case, Amazon would still have possession of your inventory, and if you didn’t cooperate when they tried to return it to you, it might end up getting d
