    What’s better for a manager/executive wanting insight into “how happy are my customers” other than their accounting numbers?

    Store count seems to have peaked in 2018. Yes that data goes to 2021 but I doubt it got better after that. https://schaeffer.usc.edu/research/pharmacy-closures-united-... The bigge…

    I suspect a lot of big orgs don’t care if they lose high-need/low-margin/negative-margin clients that need a couple chains of humans to fix their issue. If they were otherwise high…

    It’s probably how their payor measures performance. But I thought the issue with customer surveys was how biased they could be toward negative experiences cuz nobody else is angry …

    Tbh, this is most industries. Very few have much of a moat and have some wedge/pressure from their suppliers (land/labor/capital), their clients and competition. Insurance companie…

    tbh, it probably works. I'm vibe-coding a thing and just told it to figure out why it runs so slow: put in some optimizations. It ran some tests and stopped loading an entire-somet…

    Hey now, I'm totally incompetent, so my code writes entries in a log file for virtually everything because otherwise I have no idea if it's doing what I expect. Would've caught som…

    in other words, this attack could link together different wallets created on the same coldcard?

    Conceivably, the funds could be sent to an address that they send to before. Very far from perfect... could work if it's a centralized exchange, one could deposit to the same addre…

    More likely the higher fees forces through the transaction faster. If it sits around waiting for a miner to pick it up, there's a chance the real owner or competitor could replace-…

    What makes it easier on 240v systems is that your entire household is on the same “circuit”. If you’re on a 120v system, there’s a ~50/50 chance that your load is on the wrong side…

    rather common amongst (ultra)-long voyages?

    Comment #49138807

    At some crossover point, the reduced fuel carrying (and max capacity requirement) makes up for the additional takeoff+landing. When we're talking ultra-long-haul, constantly fighti…

    It's basically the business model for some airlines like the Icelandic and middle eastern ones. Hub in the middle so you're not paying (potentially extra) staff to rest on an aircr…

    Assuming you can regularly land with your fuel tanks half-full. You could overbuild everything to support that, but usually airlines don't want to pay for a niche design to support…

    Would make sense to offer packages with lay-flat seats in shifts (possibly formally/informally for people on the same ticket).

    may not be worth the aero hit. Kinda like running a/c in a car at high speeds instead of opening the windows. Not sure where the crossover point is. In my dreams, my ultra-advanced…

    Also bad for fuel economy (and/or take a hit on cargo/pax/luggage carrying capacity): You have to take off with all that fuel even though you only need X / hr. Increased weight = m…

    Dunno if admitting defeat like that is a sign of strength or weakness.

    Some enterprising ISPs get into the hosting business because most of their traffic is ingress, so adding some egress revenue is effectively zero cost.
