A good looking working port is the best welcome mat a city can offer to first time visitors.

Just boarded my United 737 in SFO and they are playing Kenny Loggin’s Danger Zone. – at South San Francisco, CA

Amazon's key innovation was selling what they have on hand.

Other retailers are still catching up. Inventory position has always been hard, and it's harder still for omnichannel co's, but it puts "AI enabled supply chain" in perspective when many big brands don't know what's on their shelf.

Was just reading about the importance of specialization, and then I recalled the largest sushi seller in America is Kroger.

I've never leased a car, but from what I've just seen online I can lease a Ford Mach E for $1,200/month or a Tesla Model Y for $430 a month. Comparable specs, range, etc. This is not good for Ford.

Maybe I'm doing this wrong, but 3X price seems like a big gap to close.

Trying to figure out beneficial owner reporting for my side hustles. Affects me because it applies to LLCs with < 20 employees. Obtuse website even by US government bureaucrats' standards.

My best guess is this law is supposed to stop the laundering of money through New York and Miami real estate. Oligarchs will have to safely park their money in sports teams---and leagues---instead.

I'd love to see more pictures of ports during construction like this.

Not a good look for the logistics industry, and railways in particular. wsj.com/business/logistics/o…

A Train Derailment Scarred One Ohio Town. Little Changed in the Railroad Industry.

Cleanup efforts in East Palestine move slowly while little progress is made on new measures and federal legislation.

"Last March, a group of freight railroads pledged to join the FRA’s close-call incident reporting system. So far, only one—Norfolk Southern—has followed through, and regulators have said that the other companies’ lack of participation has stymied safety."

If you walked into a factory and saw 12 months of WIP inventory and no customer shipments in several weeks, you would wonder what the hell was going on. If you walked into most software companies this same situation would be considered normal.

Cycle time for software delivery should be days, not weeks or months. A focus on **throughput** reduces cost and improves quality, whether you're building widgets or applications.

If a freight rating company says “rates are down point-five-percent” (.5%) that means rates are flat. Freight rates use statistical sampling. I doubt the range (error) is less than +/- 3%. If you subscribe to any of these services I’d look for upper and lower bounds and N. – at Denver, CO

What’s happening on your lanes/modes/commodities might be different still. But beware as you drill down in the data that +/-3% range could get larger. – at Denver, CO

@vrbo your hidden pricing has made it too tedious to use your website. Hotels do it better than y'all. When the total is > 2X nightly price that's silly.

Car insurance app surveils our family’s driving and reports safe driving scores. What’s really interesting is it thinks our ski runs are car trips. – at Denver, CO

Is this a new e-commerce strategy? Multiple store fronts and one warehouse?

MVP Joel Embiid ranks seventh in scoring volume midway thru the NBA season. 76ers have played 46 games giving Embiid a 26.1 point average (1201/46). He's one half of one free-throw per game better than previous MVP Nikola Jokic (25.7).
