For all the bragging you're doing about your amazing memory, it doesn't speak highly of you that you can't even remember what device you used to type up a post that's only a few days old. LinkPizza posted...You're "pretty sure" I only mentioned it once? Then you don't remember either, or else you would be sure. And, as above, your accusation of me being unable to remember my post is all kinds of hilarious considering you can't even remember what device you wrote your posts on, nevermind their content. Regardless, you simply threw out the "Company A" statement and it was not clear from your post that that sentence was a response to something I had said earlier. This is what I mean when I said you need to provide context. You're making both arguments and responses in your posts and it's often not clear which is which (and, when you are responding to something, what it is you're responding to). This is why I'm saying you don't actually understand context; if you did, you'd understand why your supposed "context clues" are actually ambiguous nonsense. LinkPizza posted...I explained, at length, why they're wrong. That is the definition of debunked. LinkPizza posted...Who doesn't? Please provide context to your sentences or quote what you're responding to, because otherwise it's impossible to tell what you're talking about when you suddenly change subjects like this. LinkPizza posted...I've explained this to you already and at this point I can only imagine that you're deliberately trying to stick your head in the ground to avoid acknowledging that you're wrong. These stores currently still require at least some human employees to do tasks like stock the shelves and take inventory. Yet those jobs are not things that can be done full time; as such, rather than inefficiently either hire someone to only come in for a couple hours a day (something few are willing to do, as it doesn't pay a decent enough wage for such short hours to be worth it) or have their staff standing around idle, they have them man tills in order to increase speed of payment and customer satisfaction. LinkPizza posted...The fuck? Do you seriously not understand how machines and depreciation work? Machines don't need to "rest" - that's part of the benefit of having them replace humans in the first place. That is you projecting human needs onto an inhuman object. Whether a machine runs constantly or not at all has surprisingly little effect on its lifespan in an industrial setting, nor on their projected lifespan. You want to replace machinery when it's economical to do so, especially in a world with fast-evolving tech. LinkPizza posted...Your suggestion is that a company triple their up-front costs and triple their losses from depreciation, all so that the machines can get their beauty sleep? That's adorable. It's not how the real world works, though. You buy the number of machines you need, you run them until their life cycle ends, then you buy the newer, better machines once the replacement window comes up. Tripling your costs means that, at best, you're simply paying more to saddle yourself with old technology for longer. It's less cost-effective and it uses up valuable business real estate, which is why no one does it. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
