Re:FTC Sues Facebook for Illegal Monopolization on Thursday December 10, 2020 @08:40AM (#25373553)
It’s not accurate though (see other comments). The one I’m amazed by is the assertion that “ The supermarket pays for everything on its store shelves (except, rarely, for certain new products on a consignment basis in which case it only sales for units actually sold)” which is leaving a lot of money off the table

Supermarkets might pay for the product, but Kellogg’s, Budweiser, etc pay them for shelf space, eye level, end of aisle placement, etc. there is a dozen ways they make money off the sellers. Supermarkets don’t just pay for product as a textbook marketplace

I want Facebook to stop tracking me, not enable more of it. Which does this enable?

I read your message a few times, but your concatenation of concepts and words for no apparent reason makes this entirely not understandable. If you're going to make things up, at least explain yourself.

More marketing material than tech spec. A user manual is hundreds of pages, not five pages and a nice cover.
It’s been 9 months... they still have to pay rent and equipment costs and staff

I’m more talking about less than or equal to 12 months. It takes months of investment of my company to train a new hire. At 12 months they’re likely just becoming an effective employee and the investment is starting to see returns.

Leaving early means the investment wasn’t worth it (compared to hiring someone who doesn’t job hop)

How did you get the invites? Was this a job fair?

An unwise hobby. I know recruiters and hiring managers that see low tenure jobhopping as a red flag

Anchoring bias is a better name for this flaw. Either way, the handful of examples provided here are.. random? This post has poor depth and breadth, akin to a listicle

I'm searching for an intro to miniKanren that's also an intro to logic programming. Ive never used datalog, clojure, or others. The main miniKanren website assumes preexisting Scheme / logic programming knowledge

Any suggestion of where to start?

Isn't the academic journal peer review process generally an anonymous feedback mechanism? Why does this need to be different?
