No, you are assuming the entire output of the shop devoted to one SKU for one customer. No rational business owner would take that contract, since when the day comes when that one customer decides to use a different screw you now have all of this capacity that you can't sell.
"If someone who chose not to get vaccinated gets sick,"
The kids who will get sick didn't get to chose whether they get vaccinated. Their parents, on the other hand, were vaccinated years ago and are fine other than being homicidal maniacs.
The salary data is organized by job title rather than field, which means that it's worthless since you can't map the titles from one employer to another.
The most useful language to learn is not the most common you do not already speak but the most common among people you do not already have a common language and are likely to encounter. What is the likelihood of someone from Kenya need to converse with someone who speaks Mandarin Chinese but not the English that Kenyan students already are taught?
While there are many people who speak Chinese as a first language, they are mainly in China. In addition, while Mandarin is the 4th most used L2 language, they mostly are in other parts of China.
Swahili itself is the 8th most used L2 language, and it developed as a lingua franca for... non-local commerce.
I have found that the related jobs shown on the side of a given job posting to pretty good examples of jobs actually in the same or adjacent fields as opposed to just more keyword search results.
This is helpful you're in a field that can be described three ways and each of those ways can also be used for a completely different job, and also when job titles have been fetishized by everyone is just "Senior Member of Technical Staff".
"Ditch Prime. Use free shipping when offered, use cheapest shipping always."
I have Prime. I take the delayed shipping option if I'm not in a big hurry and they offer $1 credit for digital purchases that I was going to buy anyway.
I can claw back over 1/2 of the cost of Prime that way, and I still get all of the non-shipping benefits and I can still have the two-day shipping when I want it.
'no matter how you say "But look at my calculations", because all you see is the prices on their website, not what their profits are. So a real comparison is not possible.'
Their profit is economically irrelevant to me. What matter is the value I derive from what I purchase with respect to the prices I paid.
It is completely plausible that both the seller and the buyer are benefiting from the transaction. That's how capitalism works.

" As long as WF will remain priced as it is, I don't see it making any gains."
Except Whole Foods *is* making gains. What is not making gains is Amazon's non-Whole Foods grocery business. The theory was that buying an established grocer would help Amazon with its grocery delivery business but it hasn't.
You can fault them for taking what are essentially regular full-time positions and engaging in hand-waving to avoid the obligations of employing them.
Some fraction of those workers are actually engaged in short-term contracted work; some fraction desire to be contractors rather than regular full-time employees. Most, however, are just working as contractors because it was the job they could get.
Quote from DoJ spokesperson in 2013: “The problem the department has always had in investigating Julian Assange is there is no way to prosecute him for publishing information without the same theory being applied to journalists,” said former Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller. “And if you are not going to prosecute journalists for publishing classified information, which the department is not, then there is no way to prosecute Assange.” https://www.washingtonpost.com...

"Assuming an 8 hour day"
No, you are assuming the entire output of the shop devoted to one SKU for one customer. No rational business owner would take that contract, since when the day comes when that one customer decides to use a different screw you now have all of this capacity that you can't sell.

"you apparently can't immunize against stupidity and willful ignorance"
The worst of it is the stupid parents are all immunized; it's the kids that are going to die.
"30 cases in 26 days in a State of 7.4 million people is a state of emergency?"
In 2017, there were 120 recorded cases in USA.
In 2018, there were 349 recorded cases in USA.
So yes, 30 cases in 26 days in one county is a dramatic increase.

-1, offtopic
The studio made no claim against the video. The article mentioned that the studio in fact intervened on behalf of Toos.
"use it locally, as in sending the file to someone"
Sending a file to someone is pretty much the opposite of using it locally.
I'm impressed that they actually have a macroeconomist.
Intel has never hired a CEO from outside the company, so for Intel it is non-traditional.

"any resume that has spelling errors"
What can I do about *job reqs* that have spelling errors? I have seen a significant number of job titles that include "principle engineer".
All maps on the moon reflect that China has historically been part of Lunar territory.
"letting engineers design products instead of powerpoint managers."
Joke's on you: engineering is 50% powerpoint.

There are a lot of people commenting on shopping at Whole Foods stores... WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE.
The article is about how Amazon's non-Whole Foods delivery offerings have not benefited from the purchase of Whole Foods.
" As long as WF will remain priced as it is, I don't see it making any gains."
Except Whole Foods *is* making gains. What is not making gains is Amazon's non-Whole Foods grocery business. The theory was that buying an established grocer would help Amazon with its grocery delivery business but it hasn't.
I can't fault a company for following the law.

"Is that supposed to be in favor of your point? What they're doing now is proof he was right, "
My point is that the US was not trying to prosecute at the time that the "extradite from Sweden" story was concocted, and the quote supports that.
You don't need a pretext in the country you are extraditing *from*.
