Yes, of course, you can't lie as a business, but if someone walks into Walmart and searches for "Pikachu?", Walmart employees are free to be trained to use the trademarked term and reply "You don't want Pikachu, consider Digimon!"
(It's a contrived hypothetical, but the closest I could get to a meat-space version of search keywords.)
There’s no shame. They want money, ad clicks make money, and users avoid things they know are ads, so content providers obscure the ads identification signal. Stop anthropomorphizing corporations. They hate that.
I don't think that's quite it - review is a recurring cost which you pay on every new PR, whereas writing code is a cost you pay once.
If you are continually accumulating technical debt due to an over-enthusiastic junior developer (or agent) churning out a lot of poorly-conceived code, then the recurring costs will sink you in the long run
I think the Near Beer Game models your logically reduced version of the game, ignoring the original game’s irrelevant information and non-positive-value options for the intermediate players.
In this version, the manufacturer sees all the inventories, and all the middle layers pass all stock to the next layer. (The game also has a trivial demand function, so the only challenge is to detect or predict the single step change in demand rate, and then calculate 3 weeks ahead to smooth out the supply chain.)
The game was played for 35 years before you demonstrated that it was a broken over-complication of a trivial game?
Or did you break the game by coordinating with your teammates on strategy (or, equivalently, all players computing the perfect Hofstadteran superrational strategy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superrationality
), when the game was meant to simulate the general human tendency for hyperlocal optimization, and the problem of dealing with chaotic incompetent peers?
I haven't played the new version, but there's a good chance they cut off the information you need (likely because of us, honestly) because each person needs to see the amount of inventory going into the previous step in the supply chain. That way they can keep inventories perfectly drained except at the retailer.
If you use knowledge of the deck, you can obviously pre-solve things, but that was not an assumption here - our thing works without knowledge of the order deck.
The "new beer game" looks totally different, honestly.
It was no longer needed, because of the war effort. Roosevelt didn’t say it would never again be needed. Roosevelt created it, and in ending it he endorsed it. There’s no indication that he would be opposed to re creating it future, but he opposed having a (temporarily) useless agency operating when not needed.
Penn Jillette made this argument, about this specific scenario, 20 years ago. Privileged people have an obligation to stand up and defend the oppressed, because they can afford to, but the oppressed cannot.
It doesn’t bring me peace of mind to know I have the privilege of flying, today, while other innocent people are banned by a racist authoritarian government. It gives me fear that I could be the next victim.
Eh, computers have always been getting cheaper due to technology advances. The Mini is a rare for Apple low end computer without a monitor, which goes against Apple’s traditional core business proposition: simplicity in product experience.
I'm glad they kept the Mini around. I don't have a current one but I won't buy another iMac. My current is getting to end of life (from 2015). Nothing wrong with it but it will stop getting security updates at some point and I hate junking the monitor.
