The route represented by a ZIP code may enclose an area but the ZIP code itself is not an area. It is a set of delivery points.

Seriously. I've been using Macs since... ahem... 1985... and did not know this.

I'm a little confused by your peeve: There are ZIP codes that represent more than one city (town) - and that cross state boundaries. And there are cities (towns) that have more than one ZIP code.

I find it interesting that we use them to represent areas while they were only intended to represent routes ... And this relates to why there are some ZIP codes that are in multiple states.

>> willing to acquire Lyft for the tech and customer base Sure - that seems like "tech" - I was asking about "customer base"

by sib 1y ago
What customer base (at least in the US) does Lyft have that Google or Amazon don't? Estimates for Amazon are ~250M and Google ~275M users in the US.

I use Lightroom, but always with this workflow (copy files from memory card to disk, then use LR to do the import / move / build previews). If nothing else, it lets you get your card back much more quickly, as a file-system copy r

Because, in general, there is more variance within groups than across groups, so you are generalizing that an individual person within a group is more talented / capable / whatever than an individual person from outside that group

That would be the customer of the phone tree software... Of course it exists for their benefit. But, if all customers escaped from it, then it would be pointless and companies would stop - why spend money on something the doesn't reduc

by sib 1y ago
Yes - and the point is, if everyone availed themselves of the alternative (e.g., escaping the phone tree), as previous post implied, then "line wouldn't go up" and companies would stop.

As a (sometime) economist, if no one ever used the phone tree, companies would stop deploying them.

Which is odd because the first time I heard the term DVR was in the late 1990's, referring to the box that was used to record TV signals digitally for playback and/or ad-skipping. The term distinguished it from things such as VCRs

"the cheapest way to solve the problem" Which, it should be noted, has not at all solved the problem. Shockingly.

I mean, by the numbers in the article, Toyota has produced about $100B of net profit over the 5-year period, while Ferrari has produced $6B. I guess I'd rather own Toyota.

You may know this, but these rental terms are typically driven by the studio that published the film, not the TVOD service provider (Amazon in this case). I know that it doesn't change the customer experience, but it's worth being

by sib 1y ago
In most cases, in the world of TVOD (transactional video on demand), an item that is rentable is purchasable, but the reverse is not always true. That is, the window for purchasing is much longer than the window for renting.
