You do miss though, those situations where every supplier took advantage of inflation to stack extra margin on. Seeing that diff to the last price is helpful.

Ah, well your original point was basically saying nobody connected their phone to a computer :)

Well, technically, you can watch videos in your car, so perhaps sometimes not 100x, though still lots to spare.

Is the sparse interior really that strange, or just a result of components getting more compact and the screen remaining the same size?

It's a common "market segmentation" approach. They can make different sites/pitches for other markets.

There's also exec comp, stock buybacks, dividends, etc. If you believe unions can help shift wage inequality, net profits isn't the only bucket to draw from.

Yeah that first one is similar, but more ambitious and more expensive...with the replica case and all. I found the email receipt for mine...it was $107 USD: RETRO ALTAIR 8800 S100 CLONE *FREE SHIPPING* Total: $107.17

I'm interested in, for example, how long she had to wait, if she "applied cold", or knew someone that helped with a referral, etc. Why the snark?

by tyingq 3y ago
Presumably those positions are competitive also, given the unique experience. So, knowing if she was wait-listed, for how long, or if she found some way around that, etc...would have been interesting.

There's a lot of good info in the article, but it's kind of disappointing she didn't cover how she actually got the job. It's mentioned that the jobs are quite competitive and that people are wait-listed for years somet

I had gotten a bit of nostalgia reading an earlier article about the Altair (which this is a clone of) back in 2020. I can't find them on eBay now, but at the time, you could get an Arduino Due based clone of the Altair, so I bought o

Yeah, I'm talking about situations where it's a department that's not tied to the main call center. The credit card fraud people, for example[1]. Or, with Comcast, some guy saying your modem return was missing a piece, etc.

Googling around a bit, a typical 20-count box of pseudoephedrine (2.4 grams of "active ingredient") yields roughly 2 grams of "high quality" meth with the shake-and-bake/one-pot method. Not the only ingredient, of

That's mostly right, but it's not reported to anyone. It came from the "The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005" . If you want to sell pseudoephedrine, your org has to "self certify", keep a logbook p

That's true, but I don't think it's altruism. Working conditions that incent people to urinate in a bottle to avoid being marked as slow...tend to mean higher wages are needed to close that deal. Higher being relative, of co
