for example, i think it's be a good rule that component parts must be sold at a price where the sum of the part prices cannot exceed the retail value of the assembled product. something like this could have other benefits outside of just this issue.
I'm introverted, so it sometimes felt like torture getting through some days. I felt dizzy and drained after 10+ hours of talking, pitching and trying to close sometimes hundreds of strangers over one day.
People do buy based on emotion, you'll see the progression from feature to benefit to emotional benefit in most structured sales cycles. The best sales people make customers feel great and tie it to the product. You need to learn about what they're looking for and why, it's rarely 'one size fits all.'
You learn tricks and learn to have fun. I realized mental fortitude and positive socialization is really hard work, not just disposition as I wrote it off before. You can set goals for yourself and learn from having an actual point of success. And you don't eat without achievement, in my case at least. Just pick a product that you actually believe in and makes lives and the world better (and has a good commission model).
Stats don't say what the abortions were in the name of though (that I see on first review at least).
The equation ends up looking something like this: https://slack-files.com/TEGQB8GNS-F01UU5FMKRR-820b186081
Once you start thinking about it in terms of the definite integrals of a piecewise function you'll see where the weights would be applied in more extreme situations.
Obviously there would be complications, but are you advocating society shouldn't strive to clearly separate governance of the public from private, conflicting pecuniary interests? I can't tell if you're dismissing the problem or saying there's a better solution ...
source: there are several people in my weekly support group for exactly this reason, it gets out of control
I'd hazard a traveler's experience can highlight a culture's stereotypes more easily than it can the experience of a naturalized member of the community.
I used to love watching Bourdain's travel series for exactly this reason; he seemed to always want to get the deeper context and insight from the people he'd meet and his narration showed a firm understanding of how who he was and where he came from influenced his experience of a place/culture and the conclusions he'd draw (if any).
Unless this is one of those "everything's weird and 'normal' is particularly weird" arguments.
If so I agree that "everything's stupid and therefore it's especially stupid to think anything could be 'smart'"
captain: there's only one solution ... make the hole so big we can no longer call it a hole.
sailor: aye aye captain, i'll go get the explosives.
On notification you could choose whether or not to record the stream and save it as a file on the client.
Said service could provide a guarantee that all data passing through its servers will not be recorded, persisted or even decrypted.
Since energy suppliers meter their output to apply a price, I'm wondering how hidden costs could exist (unless the software is somehow circumventing or undermining the meters?).
I would think it'd be pretty straight-forward experiment to use software from the late 80s / early 90s for a couple weeks, measure machine energy consumption, then compare with the consumption from a machine running the latest version of everything for two weeks. Next month repeat but also use a processor from the 90s for the first two weeks. Rinse, repeat, extrapolate, apply statistics, &c. Maybe try adjusting for or comparing differences in appliances common then and now.
If software energy costs are somehow hidden, I can only think they're hidden because we're deliberately not choosing to look at them.
According to this[1] exchange on Stack Overflow, the IIFE is used by TypeScript because of other scoping issues (specifically protecting class properties before instantiation and defining interfaces).

That seems pretty specific ... what would be an analogous software scenario?
It's a really neat pattern imo, I remember it fondly from my JS heavy days :)
