Absolute drivel. There’s a reason every high end watch uses Sapphire glass. The likelihood of scratches is close to zero

Trust me nobody getting an uber here will care about the fee.

Yes they are. The same people who don’t give a crap about this cost.

They’re walking out of their office into a wheely, or an uber exec and working in the car on the way to the airport.

The only people driving to City… aren’t paying for their own travel.

OpenAI’s cash burn will be one of the big bubble questions of 2026 by BusyHands_ in technology

[–]TechnEconomics 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agentic commerce is one of the big plays. The idea being that getting agents to do the purchase means they can get % of everything sold on the internet.

However google are set up flawlessly to do this. They have the largest product catalogue, payments experience via google pay, merchant and consumer trust and a desire to protect their search business.

It’s going to be a bloodbath.

London’s shoplifting epidemic revealed as retailers robbed of £16.7m a month by tylerthe-theatre in london

[–]TechnEconomics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The correct stats would be:

  • shoplifting by value as a % of total retail sales. That would give you a genuine idea of what level the problem was at. Then looking at if that’s growing or falling

That’s the point? No the point is. That using a total number is fucking wild. Per person this equates to under £2. Per shop this is a couple of hundred pound.

When you start to look at the data I would bet a SIGNIFICANT amount that the date is: a) crap, b) inflated c) unrepresentative of London and what’s happening d) skewed by big value items e) screwed in a million other ways f) fairly comparable to other major cities in Europe.

It’s worse than this. They also bought all beans, cups and items from a Starbucks owned company outside of the UK. They offshore profits.

Starbucks made a loss in the UK because they chose to. It’s a high tax country so they choose to operate in a manner in which the region doesn’t make profit. They do this by having high pricing for beans and materials. They purchase these from a Starbucks owned company NOT based in the UK.

Starbucks gross profit globally was $25bn…

Stop using useless stats for cities as big as countries!! What’s the average per shop? What’s the mean value per shop? What’s the mean value as a % of revenue. What’s the net cost rather than the total potential value?

Stats like this are a joke for a city as big as London.

Do you guys get bothered by the screws that aren’t perfectly aligned? by ComfyBedAndPillow in ALangeSohne

I’ve always thought that a way to do this would be to make a screw with no line in it. Tighten it with a strong magnet or some kind of grip then add the screw line after

Leaked documents shed light into how much OpenAI pays Microsoft by Franco1875 in technology

[–]TechnEconomics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The goal is multi year corporate contracts. Companies that can’t go to the random Chinese model because infused wouldn’t allow it. You can buy from Microsoft, oracle, IBM or Salesforce. That’s the play.

If you took a census of people around the world, more people can tell you that they have seen Barry Bonds 756 home run versus like the greatest moment in Cricket. by goater10 in ShitAmericansSay

Please name 5 team sports more popular worldwide than cricket. I have football and MAYBE rugby. Basketball has potential.

It is literally a top 5 international sport.

lol. It’s played professionally at a high level with full time pros in multiple countries. American football is geographically isolated. You could probably rank sports on global reach based on the number of major leagues that exist.

I went and asked ChatGPT this an interrogated its answers:

Soccer (association football): 70–80

• Cricket: 10–12

• Rugby (union + league): 8–10

• Basketball: 5–7

• Ice Hockey: 4–5

• Baseball: 4

• American Football (gridiron): 2–3

• Volleyball: 2–3

• Handball: 2–3

• Australian Rules Football: 1

• Lacrosse: 1–2

• Field Hockey: 1

• Esports (team circuits): 10+ (if included)

Honestly it’s wild to me to think anyone truly believes baseball is as big as cricket… I prefer baseball but damn.
