It is when you're shipping perishables. And market trends could fade away during crossing time. The cargo could be worthless before it arrives at port.
Napkin calculation:

The Neoliner Origin cruises at 11 kts (20Km/h). "Straight line" on Google Earth from Saint-Nazaire to NY is about 5300 Km, so it crosses the Atlantic in 18 days.

The Emma Maersk (which I am aware plies a different route, but just for comparison's sake) cruises at 25kts (46Km/h) and therefore takes about 5 days.

If it had been a document for testing purposes, I think a maths or physics paper with plenty of notation and equations would have been better.

FTA: 'Apple engineers were "too ambitious"'. Yeah, right. I'm sure management had nothing to do with pushing unrealistically time-framed specs down to engineering.

More oft than not, downvotes reflect the biases (read: blindness) of those downvoting.

Luddites hopping on the bandwagon for reasons unclear to themselves.

It won't bring back those they killed, and they're not abolishing islamic rule either. Bullshit gesture, IMO.

What a tool.
Sounds like Vroomfondel and Majikthise demanding rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

It's baffling how socialists can deny reality and working economic models in favor of their demonstrably and repeatedly failed theories of economy and state, even going as far as denying the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

Re:Making bracket pair colorization faster on Wednesday September 29, 2021 @10:17PM (#28702481)
Not to de-merit the creator. Looks really useful. But I tend to code using Allman-style bracketing. I find Allman bracketing and corresponding indentation makes my code more readable, without the need for much color.

Re:Multi-screening may mess with your memory on Thursday October 29, 2020 @05:36PM (#24936248)
Multi-screening? Maybe. It's a misnomer, though. Multi-crap apps open across multiple devices, I'll buy. It WILL kill your productivity. But take away my multi-monitor setup on my desktop or take away my virtual desktops and I'll go for your jugular.
I work with AutoCAD, ACAD Architecture and VectorWorks. I think and hope in the not-so-long-run FreeCAD will be serious competition for traditio9nal mainstream/enterprise CAD. That being said, I do agree with some on the fact that the UI needs a little work, and improved tutorials.
