gadallon··on What “Amazon Supply Chain Services” Tells Us About What Amazon Is
I can assure you that every word was written (or dictated) by a human. At least you read up to that point in the article. But did you read beyond that.
gadallon··on The Rise and Retreat of Ghost Kitchens
It was meant as a joke. I just wrote Cloud Kitchen.

Gorillas, the 10-minute delivery e-grocer, just announced that they are putting their much-anticipated expansion into the US on pause. Is this due to Blitzscaling turning into Premature Scaling?
gadallon··on The Case Against Self-Checkouts
You are raising an excellent point, which is not only the question of operations, but also how it is to be a customer among robots. We know, for example, that one of the most common accidents of self driving cars is being rear-ended.

Thanks!
gadallon··on The Case Against Self-Checkouts
I'll take this as a compliment. I wish I could use Little's Law in this case, but alas, just an ordinary analysis.

To the point: I think self checkouts can be a step in the right direction, if used them solely rather than having a choice between them and humans (you can read more in the post). I do think however that there are much better options from Amazon Go to dark stores, etc.

I am now curious if you were in fact a student in my class, in which case, at least say hello. Moved to Wharton, BTW.
