Well marketplace basically killed Craig’s list, so that’s one reason.

This just gave me an idea for a new movie rental service. You’ll never own anything. If we can get homing pigeons to learn movies, we could cut delivery costs

Yep, obviously a government funded drone if it only has 2Mb uplink

Last I heard 4chan-ers were referring to the owner as “Jap-moot”

The new GPU also has the same 100w tdp as the last one

Back of the napkin math:

Largest solar sail (much lighter than panels, but doesn’t produce electricity) 2000 sq meters

200w/sq meter

400kwp

Also iirc the space solar farms plans I’ve seen call for re radiating the energy back via microwaves to dedicated receiving towers on the ground

That work is already done by computers (the cash registers at the local store). For what you’re are suggesting, the added workload would very much be manual human work to physically change the price tags on every item whenever the local, county, or state tax rates change.

you’d print the labels at the store wouldn’t you?

No.

At least the large corporations I’ve worked at, no.

Price updates were printed at HQ or local distro center and shipped with the weekly shipment. Sale stickers and new isles/planograms too.

Those items you mentioned are taxes at the state or federal level so there are only 51 different tax rates to keep track of. Sales tax can vary from city to city as some municipalities have an additional sales tax.
