Isn't that problem self-solving? Who wants to dress like a celebrity dressed last season- you want what they're wearing this season. Keep it up to date, with what's "in" now.
I think the stock would run out much faster than fashion would change. Also, there are probably 4 or 5 retailers selling similar items; you want your affiliate links to spread the load over those sites so as not to kill any of them quickly.
Of course, all this assumes your site explodes and you help sell thousands of outfits per day; which sounds unlikely to programmers, but maybe not for the people who buy all those awful magazines that are more popular than Linux Voice.
Yeah, stock turnover is much higher than trend duration. Any retailer that knowingly let stock last longer than trends would be burning their margin.
Stock is measured in weeks or months but trends can last for years, and recur, and recur, and there's no value in an affiliate link to an out of stock product.
That's not the case - I flew with them a few weeks ago. Turns out in order to print the return journey boarding pass more than a week in advance you need to pre-book a seat (for a cost). Not great if you're going away for two weeks without guaranteed access to a printer.
In my experience pretty much any hotel or hostel will print them if you ask nicely, or at least point you in the direction of someone who will cheaply. I paid €1 to print 5 pages at an Internet cafe in Italy a couple of months ago.
I fly with them regularly, but they're short trips (2-4 days) so my experience is different. You can check get your boarding pass in some airports by phone now though which also helps!
An ejection seat is actually only slightly safer than crashing the plane; the strain it puts on the vertebrae in particular is enough to force the pilot to retire after a few ejections.
And it sounds like he was flying over water, which carries substantial risks in itself.
Living on a fighter base, I met two people who were forced to eject from a plane. One lost 2" of height due to severe back/spine compression, one bounced off the ground so hard he could never fly again due to leg and hip issues.
Not to mention, an ejected plane can now go hit some school or office building, whatever causing all sort of casualties. Most pilots would rather just try and survive the crash and risk their own life.
Assuming you get boarded by pirates, what happens next? Why would you need a bridge that could command the ship? Even if you did, turn it off unless you can remotely switch it on again. How much damage can pirates do to an empty ship? Plus, no hostages, so there wouldn't be much stopping armed forces going in guns-blazing.
Is "towing it to port" really something that is that easy to do? These are big ships that are probably not easy to make disappear. Also, without hostages, using armed forces to take the ship back would probably be a lot easier.
Finally, depending on the cargo and location, I would imagine selling off the cargo would be a simple matter.
Errr, short-circuiting to ground will cause a RCD to trip immediately - that's what they're there for. You will generally have one RCD on the entire fuse board, and then individual circuit breakers for each branch.
If that's really how they do that - one RCD for a bunch of circuits then I have to retract my words, a ground fault would cause a whole bunch of circuits to lose power.
It seems crazy to me, but if they do that, then they do that.
Actually very unattractive for a hosted service. I won't spend time on something that may disappear without warning or start charging $1000 per month per server CPU.
I'm afraid I have to agree with brazzy; you're asking people to invest a fair amount of time, and potentially come to depend on a tool that they have no idea if they will be able to afford once you start charging money.
