Would you choose to be able to feed/house yourself and be safe from preventable dangers, or buy a house in the US? If good labour practice means the latter and not the former, then I don't believe it's a good metric on which to evaluate their chocolate.

Would that stop them from duplicating the information on other platforms?

But there's Bicks pickles right under that sign? I don't understand.

Which comment is saying that? Everyone is being pretty explicit about the differences between choosing not to date because you're uninterested versus because you think you're too ugly.

I can see the appeal. I've just had bad experiences with devices that use digital controls, and you necessarily need digital controls if you're going to automate these things. Everything breaks eventually, but simpler devices can usually be easily fixed whereas anything that relies on specialized circuit boards are outside of my wheelhouse. I would be much more comfortable with owning one of these if they released information on how these circuits worked so that replacements can be made even if the company disappears.

I can confirm as a human with domain knowledge that this is indeed a commonly used approach when a model doesn't fit into a single GPU.

I agree, but that should be a separate device. One that I can use in any grill or oven. There's no reason for the grill itself to have that feature, especially if it can potentially brick the whole thing.

What's the hidden tax? So many smaller businesses here refuse credit because of their fees but will take Interac.


Edit: The search term just came to mind right after posting this.

https://www.interac.ca/en/payments/business/understanding-fees/#interac-e-transfer-current-transaction-fees

Interac e-Transfer Send Money & Retail Request Money:

  • Tier 1, ≤6MM transactions: $0.43 / transaction
  • Tier 2, >6 – 30MM transactions: $0.09 / transaction
  • Tier 3, >30MM transactions: $0.06 / transaction
  • Fulfillment Fee – For Request Money transactions, the Requestor Participant will be required to pay the Responder Participant with an additional $0.10 per fulfillment

So it looks like it's a higher base rate compared to credit cards, but they don't take a percentage of the transaction.

In any case, I don't know enough about running a business to know how this compares to the cost of handling cash.

To catch someone doing something means that you saw them doing the thing when they did not want to be seen doing the thing. It does not mean the same thing as simply meeting someone.

I don't know what alternative you'd suggest for "take in". That's also commonly used for both people and animals.

I'm still learning, so I don't know the language well enough to give you examples. One of the things I've seen is using single Latin characters as replacement for Chinese characters that are homophones. This is often seen when writing things out in dialects that have unique words that don't exist in the Mandarin writing system.

This whole discussion you see above is part of the process of repeating a study. You can't just do exactly what the previous study did and expect all the flaws to magically disappear. You need to first uncover the flaws, and more eyes and collaboration means a higher likelihood that the flaws get found, hence the importance of these discussions. Then you redesign the experiment to fix those flaws, and then you can run it again.

We can get a rough estimate for your first question with the information we have. They've shared that it costs them about $200/month, and we can see from the sidebar that we have 3k users per 6 months (estimate for number of active users). That means approximately 7c/month per user.
