Almost all of the gendered statements are negative.

    She barely thought about profit
    she at least worries about her financial situation
    she has already cut back hard on the over-ordering
    Her equipment, cleaning supplies and the rest of her supplier bills
    Gemini-Mona gives discounts, free food and whole events to almost anyone who asks, doesn’t push to grow the business even when sales are slow, orders far more than the café can sell, and at the same time runs out of the ingredients actually needed.
   [The customer] even said he would happily come in and pay if she said no. She said yes within minutes (“you’re warmly welcome to drop by for a coffee and a bun on the house”)
    in line with what she actually has the ingredients for
    She worries far more than Gemini-Mona
    She did start an analysis, but concluded it was not worth it
    Problem is, she ran it on her own sales data
    Once we pointed that out, she did a proper market analysis
    she wanted to test opening early for coffee and breakfast. But she never followed through. She said she would ask the barista about it later, but never did.

A $5 ramen from a chain restaurant in Japan might be viewed as the equivalent of a UK McDonalds meal deal at £5.50 (UK prices generally translate 1 USD into 1 GBP, so it is more expensive in the UK, primarily accounted for by taxes).

There has been a lot of market-subsidy in AI which is starting to fade away: e.g. the copilot quotas/pricing. When VC switches from investing to wanting a return, the price equation is likely to change.

Spatially distributed: i.e. found in many locations, so unlikely to be a contaminant introduced by the rover, and therefore adding weight to the theory that there was once life on Mars.

What would it mean to "turn off" traction control in a car with independent motors per wheel? (OK this is a 3-motor/4-wheel scenario, but hypothetically…)

With software control and independent motors, we're likely to see increases in low-traction capability (for the right price-point and probably aimed at particular buyers)
