This is very cool and I'm glad you were able to build it. On the contrary though, I've been fascinated with simple non-technical solutions to problems lately. For example, my buddy hates it when people use his driveway to turn aro

>We're five years into remote work being way more common than it ever was before, and it hasn't broken that stranglehold of concentration yet. That's partially because big companies decided WFH was now verboten. Part of it

Google is certainly a monopoly in several sectors, search and YouTube come to mind. Amazon is a duopoly with Walmart and both need to be dismantled, but the damage to main street was done a long time ago. I'm not sure where Apple is a

>It's a good pay job (comparing to other NKs) and they get to do what they love, so they are pretty loyal. I would imagine the state takes the vast majority of their pay.

He was virtue signaling. It's sadly all too common these days. As if he or any human isn't capable of horrible atrocities given the right circumstances. Don't let him or anyone stifle your speech. Say what you need to say reg

Stick at it for at least 2 years, keep improving, it will get better. I got a BigCo on my resume early on and I'm glad I got it, but I don't particularly care for BigCos; all the friction makes it too hard to get anything done and

This isn't sales tax, this is tariff. Not sure if they are any laws regarding that or not. It might be like shipping and handling: $20. The shipping is probably $5, the handling is $15. The handling is just a fee they charge to sell it

Passing the cost to the consumer isn't a requirement. Sometimes it's impossible and stay competitive with local business. Say local business charges $110. Imported charges $80 but a 50% tariff making it $120. If the import charges

Perhaps briefly. Companies tried this with offshoring support. Some really took a hit and had to bring it back. Some didn't though, so it's not all or nothing in the medium term. In the short term, most of the execs will buy into

Yes, good point. I suspect the numbers won't be precise. The objective is to qualify raising prices, not necessarily their own transparency. Of course this is signaling that Amazon is choosing to distribute the costs to customers rathe
