  • Why wouldn’t it be? I don’t understand the point of this article. It’s not like some other direct P2P communication medium is going to come along and upend it. It doesn’t really make sense to run fiber inside your home. You don’t need that kind of bandwidth for such a small number of devices and it would be prohibitively expensive since you need a specialized, highly trained technician to run it - unlike Ethernet, where any sufficiently motivated person can do so. I’ve heard that the people that run fiber for ISPs make something like $200/hr or so.













  • I don’t understand why people pick on tradesman as if they’re somehow lesser than them.

    There’s lots of skill and knowledge that goes along with doing any trade.

    Also, while it’s back breaking work, and you often work overtime, construction workers make bank.

    This is an aged and outdated take that devalues the contributions of a very important job.

    All jobs are skilled labor.






  • I always figured their grocery section would end up like their in-store pharmacy, i e., no one would use it and it would end up a vestige of a failed business model.

    It surprises me when I see people buy food from target since there are other stores with the same or similar quality items for cheaper. I don’t think target has much value proposition from their own brands like Archer Farms (if that even is a target exclusive brand anymore).

    If anyone sees this comment and shops at target for their groceries, would you mind explaining why?
