I doubt these chains would be willing to spend the money on data mining. They can barely operate their restaurants, they have no budget for high-tech anything.
Sliders take more space. Any decent knob (Waves, for example) uses up/down mouse motion (not rotary) and also allow for direct numeric entry if you click in the middle. Since the knob can be made as small or large as relevant, it seems like the ideal UI component.
I don't understand the problem with a knob. Most knobs work with up/down mouse movement, they don't require circular motion. You can look at it to tell its current setting. Is he suggesting like a text field into which you enter the numeric values?
How many times has this been tried and resulted in total failure? Search engines, social media sites, self-driving cars, even operating systems. Poaching top talent and throwing money at the problem doesn't necessarily mean you can produce a viable alternative.
Fulfillment is the differentiator, though. Walmart's failure to compete with Amazon is an example of this. They have one of the largest fulfillment infrastructures worldwide, but their home delivery "solution" is to send employees to your house in their own car. And I'm sure that will fall apart if they had any significant home delivery volume coming into the host stores. Nearly all distribution is geared towards shipping palletized freight from one loading-dock-equipped facility to another. Fedex, UPS, USPS, and Amazon are the large exceptions.
Why are you so obsessed with the words "marginal cost" and the idea that I don't understand what they mean? In your original statement, "the truck and postman are already going, not taking the UPS handoffs won't save a penny"... doesn't that imply that there's no marginal costs associated moving UPS parcels on the final carrier-route leg?
I'm suggesting that your knowledge of the USPS network and the way the UPS "handoff" occurs is inadequate for determining where costs are or aren't incurred.
I suspect that there are additional costs associated with a package moving through the USPS system, versus a flat mailing, especially when its dropped at the SCF or higher. The equipment and logistics network isn't designed to handle the ratio of parcels that it's currently seeing.
Office and OneNote work better on Android then they do on WP. WP was always last to receive any updates of any MS app, many times it was a year or more behind.
Unfortunately, the selection has gone down and this seems to be ever-continuing. It looks like as older titles wear out, the discs aren't being replaced.
The 12.5 hour workdays cross the weekly boundaries in a way that doesn't create overtime.
SC has a labor shortage currently (much in the manner of the IT labor "shortage" used to promote H1B) so there aren't twice as many workers available, else we'd probably see that "part time" tactic in use there.
It is essentially true, these jobs are pretty bad. Most of the factories in the area are working these horrific shifts, something like 4 12.5 hour days the first week and then 3 8 hour days the next week.
Seriously? Walmart (aka China Direct) rose to popularity when millennials were still a decade out. Boomers don't give a crap where something comes from, they just want it as cheap as possible. They don't care if the USA made fan is only $1 more, even if their neighbor worked at the manufacturing plant... they're reaching for the $13 Chinese crap to save a buck.

"Data mining market so saturated that startups and established companies are now pursuing even the restaurant industry"

When Netflix recently announced the cancellation of sense8 after season 2, they ordered one more two hour episode to allow for wrap-up.
Good to hear... my father was a trademan and did fine, I wasn't sure how much blue collar work was still out there.

Some of these wages you describe may be livable when you're young, but the wage growth is very slow in some of the jobs that you mention.
Absolutely correct. Any additional development overhead or memory use is acceptable in return for the gained compatibility, reliability and security.
And signed, don't forget that the inner document is signed to truly enable misery. See IBM Datapower appliance for that joy.
Sure, you can use some crufty protocol like X12 EDI, which will help you understand the benefits of XML.
Having a zoomable map of the entire region trumps paper maps any day, regardless of whether the device is GPS-enabled or not.
Adobe won't open source the Flash player because most of the code is used in the Air runtime. Flash as a browser plugin is going away, that's all.

On many of them if you hold the lever down it'll give you a longer flush.
In the US, Aldi is owned by Aldi South and Trader Joe's is owned by Aldi North.

Plasma TVs were a happy medium, although they're NLA now too.
