It doesn't matter without scope. Are we looking at a database of SSNs? tax records? A sign in log? The social security number database might require uniques in some way, but tax records could be the same person over multiple years. A sign in gives a unique identifier but you could be signing in every day.

It's like saying a car VIN shows up multiple times in a database. Where? What database? Was it sold? Tickets? Registered every year?

This is nothing more than a "assume I mean immigrants or tax fraud and get mad!" inflammatory statement with no proof or reason.

If you haven't yet, go order that cap. It'll take like 7 minutes tops.

That's Tom Morello, he can have 5 feet of string hanging off the end for all I care

"Come out man!" "I can't! I'm playin Shit!" "But you can play Shit OUTSIDE!" "SAY WHAAAAAT??"

DUAL PortaPotty. It's like a Shit, you can play outside.

Enough data over time I bet you could. Get a couple drop recordings, arm swing, common heights of beds/desks/chairs, you could find it.

Would it be automated or easy? Hell no. But you can do it. We've discovered more with less

He also has that "campaign contributor" money for healthcare. Grandma may be dead in a few hours after sitting too hard on a chair, but you better believe he is pumped full of every life prolonging, stem cell, rubber bones, heart pumping, illness treating, expensive drug to keep him fogging a mirror and hurting poor people.

The difference in end of life care between poor and rich people is drastic and it shows with stuff like this.

Plus it's always the shitty ones that get lucky and live longer.

I mean this is the better way to do it honestly. People generally tipping less means those positions basically pay less. The whole reason people work those jobs is because with good tips you can make some serious bank. Stop making bank, people will move elsewhere, can't hire servers because tips don't pay well enough? Then start paying them. If the alternative is everyone just stops tipping tomorrow then people would really be screwed, because they wouldn't have time to transition.

Sure it sucks they're getting paid less, but if the alternative is this "you better pay our workers so they can eat because we ain't gonna do it" then I'd say it's a pretty welcome change.

It's also not like the tip amount dropped to 5% or something. Prices have been going nuts lately, so the tips are probably about the same cash amount as they have been, which is just a smaller percent of the now larger bill.

I agree that this term was meant for online businesses but we can see the same concept happening with brands as well.

You build your image around a good product/service (ex. Fast food being cheap, tasty, and a source of calories) but then once your brand is an established go-to (i.e. McDonald's, Oreo, Apple, whatever) you do the work to make that product cheaper to produce, even if it means a marginal decrease in quality, and prop it up behind the facade of the brand.

What we are reaching now is the point where companies are trying to toe that line of not losing customers but still making sales. But customers are starting to see that drop in quality, and with their purchasing power being squeezed, they're taking notice. So we have a couple words for it that are becoming more popular. Shrinkflation is an example, but overall I think it still ties back to the concept of what enshittification meant. Build a brand, get the customers, cut your expenses, hope most of them don't notice.

There are a lot of people saying "but enshittification means websites" but the fact is, it describes a business model that a lot of companies are following that ends up in a shitty product. It may not be what the word exactly meant but unless someone gets another term that fits popularized, it still fits and it's not inaccurate to use.

It's the problem when you have public voting on these, the ones more people know about are the ones that rise up. If it's panel selected then it's (almost always) rigged by whoever is giving the award to show off their game instead of the actual good one.

I mean look at the Steam awards, Liars Bar won "Most Innovative Gameplay". Liars Bar, the game that is literally bluffing cards and dice, a game that has been around for literal centuries, "most innovative"

Not to say this behavior is okay, but there are some companies that also just exploit the alternative to high heaven, like the post shows. You can pay $20 for a 12 cent replacement part, or order one and return it. Some people will pay for the part, but significantly less will when it costs and arm and a leg for something so cheap.

It's basically taking the measurement of the area under a curve. The left does it in uniform chunks, and is often less accurate depending on delta x (the size of the chunks). The right effectively makes the size of the "chunks" infinitely small and gives a more accurate answer.

Simple version: Me: Close but either too much or too little potat removed. Mom: absolutely perfect with no skin and no wasted potat.

I think the best part of this little thought experiment is that the solution is basically "fill new Orleans in with Garbage"

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It's like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

I think we need a word for an unnecessary sequel. Like it's not a remake but they just retcon the ending and are like "oh look actually there's more!" On a story that was perfectly wrapped up already.

See, you invalidated that whole thing with the last line. Every marine has at least bitten a crayon. Some people have allergies.

The other person already said they probably won't do it. The name is too central to their brand to change it or back off. I would be curious if we see anything to emphasize his last name somewhere though.

Just like a "hey everyone this is Luigi MARIO a very distinct character not based on any real person!"

This usually comes from a couple things.

• The Amazon site that could do faster delivery was out of stock, had too many orders already to deliver it same day on Wednesday
• The time of day you looked at the order changed so you got in on Thursday early enough to hit that time limit

Or the Most likely:

• When you were placing the order it checked the available shipping methods (not days) and they couldn't do same say that day, so they offered standard. The next day they check the methods again (probably taking into account the above reasons) and they could do same day so they offered it.

They don't do the "what about same day, but tomorrow" stuff because it's usually a problem that solves itself. Either you're fine with Saturday, or you come back tomorrow trying to get it same day again.

The thing that is worth noting is that Amazon doesn't do everything they sell as fast as humanly possible. They still have logistics to worry about and not every possible site can ship everything at maximum possible speed. They probably could if they forced it, but the juice isn't worth the squeeze on that approach.

I also have like 150 hours in PlanetSide 2. But it's because I left it running one day on accident and it counted all the extra hours as "playing"

I would highly recommend Payday 2, forget the DLC unless you really like it, but the game is amazing, one of the best horde shooters around imho. Payday 3 is a really pale comparison because it came out and pretty much the entire audience went to it and went "this sucks" then went right back to payday 2 because it's just that much better.

Yep, because theyre actually being "employed" the businesses have to adhere to labor law for minimum wage, but the prison can use loopholes and exploits to take that money from them or skim off the top. When they're working in the prison the legal lines are intentionally blurry on if they're actually "employed" or not
