They make great glassware, very scratch and chip resistant.


That's probably their problem, cheap and long lasting isn't good for business.


Their products are extremely expensive.


As others have said, no they are not, here in France.

I'm not sure you can see this page, but it's a set of four 16cl Picardie glasses for 3.79 euro: https://www.carrefour.fr/p/gobelet-picardie-duralex-35501905...


Uhh, no? A pack of 6 Picardie glasses retails for €20, so they're a little over €3 each.

Even in the US looking at their site I’m not getting sticker shock from anything I’m seeing.


How much are they in your area?


I.e. disassociating from those people? Isn’t that what homeschooling does inherently? It’s more likely that kids will pick up bad behaviors than they will learn to “deal with” those kinds of people.


I doubt they have offline access to the model, i.e. the prompts are sent to the model provider.


Even if the prompts are technically leaked to the provider, how would they be identified as something worth optimizing for out of the millions of other prompts received?


Depends on the distribution of accidents and the distribution of costs. If P(ddos) * Cost(ddos) < P(no ddos) * P(cloudflare outage) * Cost(cloudflare outage) then you would be better off not using Cloudflare.

This is not considering other issues with Cloudflare, like them MITM the entire internet and effectively being an unregulated internet gatekeeper.


You can create macro functions per generic function so something like Vector_New(int)(&v) expands to Vector_New_int(&v). It also looks less foreign (more like templates) than the G macro.


It’s not intentionally ineffectively enforced to enable big businesses to exploit illegal cheap labor under the threat of deportation. Entrenched interests, lobbyists, and big money have much more influence on immigration policy than who is in power.


This is ridiculous. The real explanation is a level of uncaring incompetence that can only be sustained in large organizations.


Government backed loans inflate demand. If banks had to consider the risk of repayment prices would come back to reality.


Colleges should be on the hook for a least a portion of defaulted student loans. That would give them a direct incentive to hold down tuition.


Is defaulting on student loans possible? I thought, at least in USA, the only way to get out of student loans is: pay it off, work for a qualified nonprofit for awhile, or die


Automation being more profitable implies it’s more efficient (by the market’s measure of efficiency, which is the best measure anyone has come up with)


Not necessarily. RTO's policies are profitable but not efficient. Existing commercial anti-depressants are profitable but not efficient. Fuel oil is profitable but not efficient. I can go on but I hope you can get my point. The market is made up of humans who are not purely rational beings nor are they capable of thinking over too long periods of time.


When graduating is essentially just aging out, it isn’t really graduating


what does "really graduating" even mean in 2025? you're eligible for a slightly less bad minimum wage job?


Lowering standards is why a high school diploma is nearly worthless, it wasn’t always the case. If you can graduate with a high school diploma while still being illiterate, innumerate, etc. it is a signal with no entropy.


when was it not the case? as far as I know teachers have been pushing kids through to their diploma for 50 years so they could get out of their hair and into the workforce... both illiteracy and dropout rates were higher

one complication is that standards for jobs you could live off of were at that point much lower... many more people could drop out and make a living, this is less often the case now


Not having a highscool diploma or GED can limit one's future career options; an example is the US armed forces[1].
