Big players aren't "spraying and praying" by and large. This is a common misconception. They often have spend large enough to do properly controlled (long term/geo hold outs, etc) statistical experiments to determine inc

They are real and provide an interesting analytics product. I was an early user, worked with Alex a bit on it even as we used it to get similar data to Google Analytics into Looker. It's almost like a headless GA.

I wonder if lower end QSR and fast service concept restaurants will be hit the hardest. Upscale places that were already expensive have less price sensitive customers. But try to shove more tips on top of an underwhelming $20 sandwich that

Between this and the recent attempt at looting the D&D community for all it's worth that horribly backfired ( https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/01/dd-maker-retreats-fro... ) what is there not to hate

You should avoid characterizing someone as "a certain type of person." Especially an internet stranger that you do not know in the least. I have encountered plenty of servers who hand you the card reader, step back, turn around, w

Why do you view focusing on one's family as a negative? You can still do excellent work and focus on your family. If by that you mean "won't be willing to be exploited by working 70hr weeks and weekends" then that's
