Right. I understand when I'm at work it might seem I'm somewhere else. However, when I select the web site of the store closest to me, the delivery store option and the store itself should not be several states away. I've selected the store closest to me. Everything should be set to that store regardless of anything else.

Directly below this story is one saying Ruby on Rails Creator Says AI Coding Tools Still Can't Match Most Junior Programmers.

According to the blurb, 95% of all code is done by people at 37 Signals. Whereas, Salesforce is claiming their internal AI tools have made their software engineers so productive, headcount hasn't risen.

While both can be true, it's an interesting to see differing opinions on how AI is or is not affecting coding.

The culprit for your "wrong store" problem might be 'ZIP code search', vs 'geocoded address search'.

It shouldn't matter. If I select my closest store the least that should be done is select the same city as the store, not several states away from me.

This same scenario happens with Lowes. For some inexplicable reason, it chooses a different state as my default until I change to the store which is literally, in the truest sense of the word, five miles from me.

Businesses need to stop thinking. Only do what the potential customer tells them.

as Chris Rock said, the money is in the medicine, not the cure.

Which is why Big Pharma cured the world of smallpox and Rinderpest. Think of the hundreds of billions of dollars they've lost by getting rid of those two. If you include how close we were to getting rid of polio, their losses would easily top $1 trillion.

But sure, let's talk about cures. Start with cancer. Which of the 200+ varieties do you want to work on first? Once you've settled on one, figure out how one cure will work for everyone taking into consideration the vast amount of genetic differences. Hint: black people react differently to many standard drugs than do caucasians.

It's nice to blame Big Pharma for some things (price gouging), but claiming they're not trying to cure people because they want to make money is stupid, no matter what Goldman Sachs has to say.

To this day, Amazon has not been able to integrate Whole Foods into the Amazon family. Their internal systems are still Whole Foods, not Amazon. That was 7.5 years ago. Here's how bad things are.

I do a search for the closest Whole Foods to where I live. I select the link to the store site. My local store shows somewhere in another state. I have to manually select my closest store and Make It My Store even though I selected the link to my closest store.

After doing all of the above, I search for a product while I'm at work. It shows available. I go home, a few miles from my work, and perform the exact same steps. The product shows out of stock. Not just on one day, but over multiple days this scenario persists.

On top of all that, the product I'm looking for is constantly out of stock (once I've verified things are working correctly).

I'm not sure what "technology and logistics expertise" Amazon was offering Saks, but if they can't get their own shit together on their own store, Saks owes them nothing.

Do you really think Musk is a climate denier?

He's the same guy who says we need to have more people.

Remind me again who is creating man made climate change.

The question it posed was whether the consequences are relevant to the rightness or wrongness of a decision to perform one, when the alternative of not doing so will lead to the death of the mother. Do we, should we, consider the consequences? Or is it just wrong, whatever the consequences?

Texas Republicans made that decision. Maternal death rates are up 56% since they outlawed abortions in 2021. Clearly they don't care about the mother.

And yet, there are a multitude of Israeli soldiers and former soldiers all saying what Israel is doing is genocide. This includes a former soldier and holocaust scholar, a former Defense Minister, and former air force pilot.

Clearly they are anti-semites.

Banning a group comitting genocide is the right thing to do. This would be no different than banning Russians from games.

Credit card lenders are not raking in cash on a credit card. Profitability studies show them to usually be ~2-3%.

From the story:

It should read, JPMorgan Warns 10% Credit Card Rate Cap Would Hit Profits. That's what this is about. After reading the article, the only thing mentioned about how this cap would hurt consumers is banks make a lot of money on these interest charges. Nowhere did anyone say how this would hurt consumers except for the warning that consumer credit would be curtailed. Without an explanation why this would be.

In short, not having a 25% interest rate would hurt banks beause they wouldn't generate the billions in income from people who don't pay their balance off each month.

Grok now has access to untold amounts of classified documents at the Pentagon.

Its hallucinations will be embedded across all networks at the Pentagon. Isn't that great?

On the other hand, it would also show companies are bigger than countries and no longer have to follow their laws.

Because that is an outcome we want. /s

Aside from the legislation part, it's because she's the one who proposed doing this. Anything she proposes is verboten according to Republicans.

That, and if by chance a bank or two does do this (they won't, but hear me out), the Russian asset will get to claim he did it, not her. Because everything is about him.

Also, if this would happen, it would be used as a political point. "See? I lowered your rates. You owe me. Elect who I say to elect."

Here's a better question: if he wants banks to lower the interest rate for one year, why not do the same for his failing properties? Lower his rates by the same percentage for one year. He's already losing money, why not lose some more?
