that's how I interpret that.

My parent grew up WWII Europe and had the same thrifty mentality. The one thing that sent me over the edge was this shitty knife my mom would always use. It started life as an okay cook knife but over 30 years after repeated sharpening started looking like a filet knife used clean fish with a worn out wooden. So it was not performing well. I had to take all the old knives and replaced them with a fancy set of German knives. Mom and dad thought they we nice but said the old knives were fine. sigh! Buy them nice Egyptian cotton bedding, into the steamer truck they went because they were too nice to use. What? sigh. And there are many other examples.

Are the numbers in the article inflated? The app store uses Apple Pay. Are those numbers being lumped in?

I imagine apple has this data already with their apple watch data collections.

I am not making the argument against unions, perhaps the example provided above. Not all unions are created equal. Unions can be a good thing to enact change and are proven to work in creative fields as Hollywood could attest. That being said, Hollywood seems to take dump on many post production services and VFX which traditionally don't have unions. The nature of the work also allows for the work to be farmed out to companies all over the world.

and what were your total union dues during this period ? Because if the union failed to get you a COLA increase then the dues would have put you in the red.

This is my take:

-It would limit your possible mates based on your circle of friends.

-Some people want to keep their dating life quiet as involving others can sometimes stress out the situation.

-If things don't work out there is less risk of gossip within your group.

its not just scammers but also questionable charity organizations (could also be scammers). I recall her getting a donation envelope with a dollar amount she agreed to, I called the entity to tell them to F off. The organization dealt with either firefighters or police and bowling.

Every Tesla stock price increase story is always followed by the mandatory story of Tesla short sellers getting crushed.

This Frontline doc (2013) paints a nice picture.

Many pension funds are screwing their members with high fee mutual funds resulting in 2-3%+ haircuts on annual returns. And this does not include all the mystery fees on top of everything else. Imagine what the compounding effects on this is. And these funds are shitty compared to Vanguard index fund over time. It comes down to shady backroom deals, kickbacks and incentive based selling.

edit: added year of the doc.

I'm just flabbergasted this would even leak out. It will be a self fulfilling proficiency as prospective clients will shy away from Google. They must be doing damage control right now with all their latest enterprise clients who switched over. May as well start the clock on the Stadia death march. I give it 13 months.

I've had a few open boxes or obviously used items sold as new and unused from Amazon over the years. Amazon always takes them back no questions asked.

This is/was a common practice with movie studios promoting new films and flying reporters to screening.

I know the comments are all "how much money did they spend to find $117K in duplicate payments" and I am one of them. But if this system helps in identifying process/audit flaws then its a good thing.

after I read the article I thought was this a situation of stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime?

I don't think this is garbage truck specific fascination. Many years ago, I recall reading a story about a father who noticed his kids being glued to the apartment window watching a construction site next door. They were fascinated by the large and loud machines. He built a DVD video business from filming busy construction sites for kids. It was a success. Kids love big loud colorful things that move.

Good advice. Remember, people may not care about the code as the company is folding. But if it turns into something and money starts to flow then people's memories become foggy.

The Xenserver fork is really great. https://xcp-ng.org/ very active community and timely updates without all the licensing restrictions.

The towing capacity is as follows for the Tesla truck, 2WD $39K=7K lbs, 2Motor AWD $49K = 10K lbs and 3Motor AWD $69K = 14K lbs

i agree

I signed up an hour ago for the trial. There were some minor hiccups but I was able to download some stuff.

I agree with all of this. I'm an online ghost and and my online profiles are locked down and private.

are Andrew Left's of Citron Research shorts still active for Shopify?

Israel has been using the membrane process for some time. I think their only issue how is dealing with the brine waste water.

Well when the FYI recommends paying what options do you have?

We do this. Every place I have worked at I've had the senior admin explain and show the backup plans for servers and desktops and demonstrate various restore requests. I have caught a few with their pants down.

Another important thing is fine granular permissions on network shares.

I can't see that happening with all this prior history and bad press. But as they say the market is full of suckers.

When someone searches for a "Sunk cost fallacy" description in the following years, this will be the example everyone will use.

And fast company did this story back in 2013
