Well, the comment did say "losing money", but either way, that's not what was claimed in the article and that distinction is exactly what I was pointing out. High margins does not mean that they do well financially, obviously

The post I replied to is claiming that they lose money on each sale of guacamole. (This is clear from bringing up the possibility of raising prices of the optional add on guacamole.) However, this is clearly much stronger claim than merel

That's not what the article claims: > Chipotle, a Mexican-themed restaurant chain, said that “historically high avocado costs” were a big reason why it posted disappointing financial results last year.

They gave out various amounts at different times. Probably got in earlier, and I think there were rewards for doing more with them.

Thanks for this. Now what do I do, though? I'd rather not mess this up. I can log in to launch.stellar.org and can "upgrade" to lumens. Do I do that? My goal is to sell them for USD.

Those p-values aren't very convincing since I don't see any multiple-hypothesis-testing correction. There's probably still a couple that are significant, but you can't test 24 hypotheses and impress anyone with a p<0.

I must not be understanding Meltdown correctly and I know this is a joke, but I thought it was the malicious code that used speculative execution to (indirectly) read unauthorized memory. So in what sense is Branchless Doom secure agains

Yeah, that was my thinking: how is this doing anything other than a PID controller? Glancing at the paper it actually looked like a PD controller, but maybe I missed some feed back where it could accumulate an integral term as well.

I'm currently reading the novel "Schild's Ladder" by Greg Egan. It opens with a similar hypothesis.

I enjoyed this. One suggestion: scopes currently are over-powered in an uninteresting way. One thing that works well for top-down games is to not have the view purely centered on the player, but to have it move in the direction of the mouse

Maybe everyone should be taught about world religions to disabuse us of the notion that astronomy was a force against religion, rather than motivated by religion.

There are difficulties with combustion engines in enclosed areas - namely a lack of oxygen. The ventilation would be a challenge. I see that the longest road tunnel in the world is Lærdal Tunnel which is 15 miles instead of the 20ish for th

How did the void(0) thing work in links? I remember being frustrated by it when I couldn't see where the link would take me, but never understood what was going on.

Sorry, I mean the spots of the giraffe. You'd need a 'higher resolution prime' for that, but still.

I'm just disappointed that the noise isn't hidden in the pattern on the giraffe.

Oh come on, Philadelphia has plenty of other projects like roads and schools that it can spend that money on that also generate those jobs.

This is actually very worrisome for me. I use Gmail as my personal store of weird information, from Wifi passwords to the account number of that service I only use every 4 years. I Just send myself an email with obvious terms to search for

Yes, that sounds like what I'd like. But where can I find something like that accessible to consumers? Are there roll-your-own methods using AWS or similar that have reasonable costs?

I just want to know one thing: is Dropbox a sufficient backup strategy to prevent this problem? Obviously it's enough to prevent a naive ransomeware. Can they get around Dropbox's automatic 30 day version history by some means? Th

But there it actually makes sense - they are in fact teaching courses to graduate students, providing them with library access, etc. If a grant wants to support an extra grad student for a professor, it has to cover that stuff and calling t

Is that a typo or do you really consider a 1600 kcal/day diet a fast? Wikipedia lists 500-600kcal as usually being allowed on a 5:2 intermittent fast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting

Your comparison is hugely unfair. The accounting nonsense for universities "paying" themselves for a PhD student's tuition is ridiculous but it's not classified as charity.

There's no need to do that with properly designed circuitry and since discharging fully is damaging, encouraging this behavior is probably harmful to battery longevity. Battery University has so much information on this, but this part

You've got two mistakes here. First, the sun appearing to move a diameter in two minutes is due to the rotation of the Earth, not the relative motion of the Earth to the sun (that's obviously a year). This can happen even if the s

Right, that's what I was guessing and am not sure why I was downvoted when everyone is confirming that contrarian's post doesn't really make sense since UDP isn't very relevant here.

by tgb 9y ago
Since they describe this as log-in issues, should we expect that to be a server using lots of UDP? Or do you think that the log-in service is hemmed in by the load on the game servers?

I don't think anyone is planning their retirement savings based off a 95% chance of the only being 2 trillion to ever live - even at 10 billion living people you're looking at thousands of years for that prediction to be relevant.

I don't know the details of Title II law, so can anyone say whether the "telemedicine over cat videos" concern was legitimate for it? My impression is that title II would still allow for Comcast to charge more for low latency
