Since when was a diploma a guarantee of a job?

Its on people to prepare for a job market. School is just one way to prepare, but its no guarantee of commercial success.


A whole album

This would be pretty cool, what are the chances of this happening?

100% outside of those with electric compressors for bleed air. You can smell it with your nose on takeoff and landing.

This is gross. No more instacart for me.


Call your senator. Surveillance pricing should be illegal.


Or, at a bare minimum, occurrences must be disclosed, otherwise they're basically defrauding the customer.

Secret pricing also destroys any semblance of efficient markets, so any ardent (but honest) free-marketeers should be against it too.


Aren't coupons the standard age-old price discrimination method?


At least in the scope of living memory, sure, but the key is that the prices are not secret, personalized, or—even worse—both secret and personalized.


How sure are we that "digital" coupons aren't personalized? And even printed coupons in mailers could have been customized. To a personal level, or to a neighbor hood, or zip code level. If Instagram had sent out individualized coupons, would that be better?


If only calling "representatives" still worked nowadays in the age of blatant corporate lobbying... it's really hard not to completely despair, because is there _anything_ we peons can do?

(I used to call my senators and house reps about things, but it never got more than a polite "thanks, but I don't care" and now they don't even bother to reply at all)


Smart pipe! Good for knowing those nitrates.


This is so incredibly cool. Will a non-contact version be possible?


A scary concept... I think the hardest part would be coupling the ultrasound through the air. But there are probably solutions..


For the buyer the shift to AEO is easy


Evil, and not the first time. The incentives are misaligned with living patient health.

BTW I believe this is a big unspoken driver of people opting out from organ donation...


Im not a donor because of this.

Medicine in America is profit seeking and organs are valuable.


Not so much of a "conspiracy theory" anymore.
