I'm sure its possible, but I'd be very surprised if this particular product (due to being fairly niche, and one-time purchase vs. subscription) was earning > $1M ARR, let alone $10M. But I could be wrong!
In the U.S. you only need 40 credits (10 years) to get anything out of it. Less if you collect early due to disability. Not sure how similar this is to any of the EU pension schemes being discussed.
Yes, but the lower prices across the board were close to the average selling price before, not the best price you used to be able to get using a coupon for an item on sale. Therefore deal hunters no longer wanted to shop there. The price-insensitive folks still did, but they were the ones who used to pay full price and subsidize the deal hunters, and now they were getting a lower price than before. Thus it was a money losing strategy for the company.
It doesn't just magically happen, but it basically is a foregone conclusion. Nobody cares about a register that is off by 57 cents at the end of the day. You're going to waste WAY more money trying to hire "smart" cashiers at $5-$10 over the prevailing wage than you would just putting up with people who occasionally make errors in counting change.
It can, but Linux does not have a stable driver ABI. Whoever wrote the out-of-tree drivers would have to constantly update them whenever there was a breaking change to the kernel, which I understand is relatively common.
Buggy software getting re-used in another hardware configuration (with no physical safety interlocks) was one of the root causes of the Therac-25 disaster.
Yes Apple Intelligence enabled by default, but the notification summaries for news apps, one small part of the "suite", will be disabled (without a way to enable it) until further notice.
As "cool" as the project seems, I completely agree with some of the comments in the video expressing disbelief that they were able to get funding for the project for more than a decade. It seems immediately obvious at the outset that there's no commercial application for the technology, as cool as it is. Way too many moving parts, way too complicated, for something that likely will only ever provide much less energy than a traditional wind turbine.
Apple recently announced they are disabling AI notification summaries for news apps in response to these high profile incidents. Seems like the entire feature should be rethought.
I kin the US at least, IKEA’s cheapest stuff is usually particle board, not MDF (which would probably actually be a step up). They also have this weird cardboard honeycomb with a very thin layer of mdf on top that they use for their cheapest desktops and the infamous Lack side tables.
A person who was laid off said it was supposed to be Wednesday but HR flubbed the e-mail timing. Presumably once the e-mail went out, they were like “well, guess we might as well make it effective now instead of in 2 days…”
A few years ago organic/natural products were marketed as containing "Evaporated Cane Juice" (aka Cane Sugar) but my understanding is the FDA put an end to that one.
This section: “There is nothing revolutionary or disruptive about any of the technologies. Touch interface, movement sensors, accelerometer, morphing, gesture recognition, 2-megapixel camera, built in MP3 player, WiFi, Bluetooth, are already available in products from leaders in the mobile industry” has to rival “No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.” In the early impressions that didn’t age well category.
This sounds like an apocryphal story. Kodak did actually make copiers in the 80s/90s, I know because my elementary school had one (early 90s, in a suburb of Rochester). It was one of the very large models that do duplex, stapling, ~100 copies per minute, etc. They just presumably weren’t good enough/cheap enough to get much market share vs. Xerox and Canon. I’m not aware of any of their copiers using film, not even sure how that would work.
That fund is currently at 50% stocks. It does get more conservative as you get past the target date, but I was mainly referring to the stock percentage at target date, which the parent poster implied was almost zero.
Indeed, the wording is “substantially identical”, which is important. 2 different ETFs that track similar, but not identical indices (e.g. S&P500 vs Russell 1000 large cap, for example) are clearly not substantially identical, and make great tax-loss harvesting pairs. There’s tons of case law, opinions from tax experts, and automated tax-loss harvesting tools from a variety of brokers that agree with this viewpoint.
