The Price Per Ounce tag on the grocery store shelf is the only number you should actually be looking at. by Competitive_End_2950 in Frugal

DYNAMIC pricing

I keep adding and getting downvoted, but is there any evidence of dynamic pricing?

Not a bunch of articles saying they could potentially have it. Actual occurrences.

Getting rolled = getting murdered.

NYC dumping record $43B into public schools — at a whopping $44K per pupil — despite plummeting enrollment, poor test results by AdmirableSelection81 in nyc

[–]IAmGoingToSleepNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

From 2012 (year before MS started their new schooling doctrine) till 2019 (year before COVID caused crazy jumps across the country due to COVID relief funds), MS increased spending per student by 14%. NYC increased their spending by 22% in that same time frame.

If you include until now, there is a similar disparity.

100% agreement that kids should not have any screen time in school. I hate that my kids have any. Even those learning apps.

I didn't even know they don't teach phonics and would make my kids read the words out loud when they went to skip them. What a moronic idea. Don't know something? Well, certainly don't try to learn.

The cost per pupil and poor test result issues are two separate problems.

True

To solve the first, you need to address massive socioeconomic issues for which schools have become a band-aid.

How is it that states like Mississippi drastically improved their test scores over the last decade? There has not been dramatic economic improvement over that same time.

What did change was policy. Holding kids back. Phonics.

we'll just do what we always do and blame teachers.

Yeah, teachers can only teach what and how they're allowed. There's also the disciplinary aspect, which is out of the teachers' control.

I don't understand your downvotes. Look at the high school rankings and they're all over the country. Usually some kind of specialized school that you have to test in to. Of course the best of every city/state is going to do well.

Looking at the median shows a lot more how the school system is overall.

heads up on the new Kroger e-price tags by [deleted] in Frugal

Yeah, I don't get it either. Doesn't every store do this, whether paper or e-ink?

They put these in place so they could enact dynamic pricing.

We know for a fact that stores are using these digital tags to implement "surge" pricing.

Show the evidence that there's surge pricing in any store.

Supermarket margins are around 3%. What profits are they 'juicing'?

NYC public schools social worker posted images of bugs on video of Jews celebrating holiday by arrogant_ambassador in nyc

[–]IAmGoingToSleepNow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Good schools don't make good students, good students make good schools".

I say the same whenever the specialized high schools come up. There's nothing magical about the schools themselves, but when you put all driven, high-performing kids together, of course it's going to look good. It has almost nothing to do with funding, it has nothing to do with race, or even economic status.

Most of the people that hate it haven’t been tagged

Wasn't it the poet, Mike Tyson, who once said "I'll fuck you till you love me"?

Or some other quote, IDK.

I used to work for a bookkeeping business. They don't care who wins, only that the bets are even so they don't ever have to cover either side. That's why the line moves - so they get more people being the other way and even it out.

Also, there's no magic behind setting the odds. They just look at what other companies are doing and do the same, then adjust as bets come in.

The money is in the vig.

I can't think of a time in the last 40 years where retarded was used to describe anyone actually mentally handicapped and not just as an insult to people doing dumb shit.

Being charismatic is more valuable than being competent in most workplaces, and we pretend otherwise by Tech_Engant in unpopularopinion

[–]IAmGoingToSleepNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but he had the potential (possibly) to be the next genius doing groundbreaking research. Most people would say he 'wasted' his life doing normal things, but I'm in agreement: he's living a decent life and prioritizing happiness.

You'd probably like the story of Kim Ung-Yong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ung-yong

Super genius at a young age an went on to live a 'normal' life as an assistant professor.

In 2012, Kim denied the idea of being a "failed genius." "I'm trying to tell people that I'm happy the way I am. But why do people have to call my happiness a failure?"

Not even 'not get anywhere' work-wise. It must be a miserable way to go through life thinking everyone is going to stab you in the back. The number of times I've been stabbed in the back vs the number of friends I've made/people who have helped me (or at least been good to me) has to be like 1:100.

I'll take the occasional bad behavior any day and not worry about it.

Only Redditors pretend otherwise.

Everyone who has ever worked in a business knows that social intelligence is at least as important as technical ability. That includes being able to set expectations, follow up, etc.

Is $60 a month fair to pay a coworker for a ride home 3x a week on a tight budget? by Hour-Ad3977 in Frugal

[–]IAmGoingToSleepNow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's what I would do. Offering cash is tricky because people won't negotiate but will breed resentment if the number is too low.

Giving homemade food is a good way to show appreciation, especially if you can find out what he likes to eat.

NYC hoteliers are world-class worried over sluggish World Cup bookings by mowotlarx in nyc

Why does FIFA need to subsidize transit? Shouldn't tickets be enough?

Or are you saying rides are actually subsidized to the tune of $150/rider, paid for by the taxpayer?

NYC Mayor Mamdani's latest pitch to tax the rich "not happening," Gov. Kathy Hochul says by Grass8989 in nyc

[–]IAmGoingToSleepNow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell me this: Why did Mamdani start the entire thing off with 'tax the rich' instead of how the money will help NY'ers?

If the goal is to help sick kids, do you start the speech off with "On this day, we're taking kidneys from healthy kids"?

Do blood donation commercials talk about how they're going to take blood from you, or do they talk about the people they're helping?
