It’s really cheap if you buy it local. When I was on vacation in Laos, there were signs on the side of the road for 0.5kg of the stuff for $5 usd equivalent. I didn’t try it because I’ve heard of the animal rights issues.

Be glad you don’t live in a high cost of living area, my first thought was envy of how cheap that was for you.
- Comment on After earning $544 million in its most recent quarter, Unity says even more layoffs are 'likely' 1 year ago:
Revenue is how much you sold stuff for. Profit is how much did you make after paying for everything to run your business. They got $544M but spent $668M, so they didn’t make a profit.

- Comment on This Captcha 1 year ago:
The original captchas were to help computers read scanned books for OCR. It was a neat solution that had value where it prevented abuse on websites and helped open up knowledge to people.
Now captchas aren’t needed because of cookies and fingerprinting and tech companies know if you’re malicious or not. They kept it going because it’s so valuable to tech companies.

It’s a bit more complicated than that. There are a lot of accounting tricks to be constantly making losses but end up cash flow positive.
I don’t work or invest in Unity so I don’t have a great understanding of their metrics but companies I worked at would constantly capitalize new projects to add expenses in the future. You can structure sales deals so a new feature is added late in the contract. That pushes revenue out, but you can collect more cash early.
If unity didn’t do share buy backs this quarter, they would have a positive cash flow. Which points to they should be a profitable company but instead are using accounting tricks to post losses to lower tax bills.

They didn’t earn $544M, they had $544M in revenue. They lost $124M but it’s all due to their decisions. They have a great operating margin in the 60s and spent all the money elsewhere.

So many talented creators have left over bad working conditions. Not surprising it’s still going on now.

To be fair, I’m only quoting what their marketing material sent me as a subscriber.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
I would. I didn’t have HBO growing up so I missed out on so much of their TV shows. I got it 2 years ago and had no issue paying $300 for 2 years. Got to watch a lot of shows I always wanted to watch. It doesn’t have a big enough catalog to keep me subscribing for a 3rd year.

They increased prices this year too. It used to be $150/yr, it’s now $200/yr.
- Comment on What the Hell Happened to my Cookies? 1 year ago:
You’re right they’re both levening agents but my understanding was in cookies soda is used for browning and not levening because there is no acid for it to react with.

Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch
- Comment on What the Hell Happened to my Cookies? 1 year ago:
Usually cookies need baking soda, not baking powder. If they call for both, it’s at least 2x baking soda. People mix it up and add baking powder instead of soda.
