the compressor makes heat in addition to being loud. Thats the other strike against portable AC units. The compressor is heating up in the room you want to cool

If amazon doesnt have capacity to verify products they are selling, they shouldnt be selling them. They are knowingly contributing to fraud and we write it off as "they're too big to regulate themselves"
Yes, people are patrons of restaurants, because restaurants are still providing food.
If they raised wages of factory workers, profits go down, stock goes down, Bezos net worth go down. no?
This came up in a similar vein in the PG tweet thread yesterday. There is an assumption when commenting that everyone has the same knowledge base and it simply isnt true a large majority of the time.
I wonder if some kind of social media has tried only "sourced" comments. So your comments can be more easily interpreted when you make a leading statement. I presume then you just get into the weeds about what is and isnt a source though..
Just that the people who spread the views beyond just the "anti-Semites and white nationalists" seem to be both themselves.
We don't know how deep the anti-Semitism and white-nationalism go in America. We do know people have been unfairly labeled neo-nazis that's true, but how big is that issue? Is there a way to quantify it. Clearly a large enough portion are anti-Semites as they were able to have a march where they chant "Jews will not replace us"
I think people just arent as blatant now. Reminds me of the Lee Atwater quote. [1]

IF they truly didnt want to benefit from hate, they would find a way to not always rate negative engagement (arguing) as "engaging".
But as the below commenter said, if you can use same ingredients across multiple dishes, it reduces waste and can reduce COGS. A small restaurant can do it, the issue there is establishing a brand, but if all your orders are coming via 3rd party apps. not sure how much brand awareness you actually need
> We had epic revenue growth w/ burn rate growth. Soon we were burning $1.5-2M/mo!
> We were always “1-2 months away” from managing the burn.
I dont understand, how in good faith, he can bring up SF-regulations as issue #1. When issue #2 is the crux of all their issues. They lost money on every sale! Food industry is notorious for thin margins, and then had negative margins and growth. SF regulations dont matter compared to that.
The issue im presenting is they are buying them to be prepared to treat Americans IF it worked. But because they bought so many so quickly, it put Americans in a position where they weren't able to have medicine they needed. The government has a responsibility to balance current needs with possible immeidate future needs, it doesnt seem like they did.
Are you asserting that case count in the US would be the exact same without Shelter in place?
>The Roku Channel isn’t some minor feature, either. The company has touted the app as a centerpiece of its advertising b, which brought in $740 million last year.
I assume OAN is paying for placement. I cant seem to find how much from quick searching, but this seems to be just companies chasing revenue.
Leave them behind and underfunded like in the past? Lock them up?
Seems like with population growth, we are trying to educate more and more kids, and unlike in the past, we dont just discard that parts that would be expensive or difficult.
In the past, we ignored the problem so it wasnt factored into budgets, head counts. There needs to be more money overall for education. It returns more than $1 for every $1 invested over the long term.
Also, SF isnt the only issue with homelessness etc. Cupertino has their "first" homeless camp, solely because they used to live unseen in ravines, under bridges and have been kicked out of there
Surely he could just post a PDF for paid download and have readers send the PDF to kindle if they really need to read it there.
Calling a book "unreported truths..." while things are rapidly changing is misleading at best
Parent post did not mention qualified immunity it doesnt seem.
> Right now, convictions of officers for actions done while in uniform are astronomically low. We need to work the other parts of the problem (gathering evidence, getting police to stand witness against other police, getting DAs to actually charge and push for convictions, firing of officers for conduct unbecoming an officer, etc).
it didnt say the low rate was due to qualified immunity
> You know what would’ve been brave, Mr. Eich? Charging users for your software—on the idea that personal privacy is worth it—and puncturing the myth that web browsers must be free.
Which my point you were replying to already addressed. People dont like paying for shit.
> Or helping publishers find a way to induce more readers to pay for the material they find valuable, without the unnecessary indirection of ads and cryptocurrency. Like I do.
No indication how much money he makes "his way" or if he would make more with ads. No indication how to "induce more readers to pay". It may work on a single blog but doesnt work when you are scaling.
But will they care once the cost savings are realized? Similar things happened with open office floorplans.
