:-) And now I have another "for the family" project. Thanks, I think...

In ages past my first thoughts upon hearing of Uber was entirely about "matching" as you described. I recall thinking it would be great for adhoc rideshare commuting to/from work. Somewhere it turned into a money sucking busi

If you were to have a separate contract for every Jira ticket that would be your call to make. Unusual, but fine.

Best marketing voice : "Why migrate to the sunbelt? Burn gas and wait for climate change to bring the warmth to you!" ...sigh. I really hope it doesn't go this way.

Not always, but sometimes they do. When it comes to clear cut cases of survival, do whatever you have to do. The problem is when the scenarios are not nearly so clear cut - even if they may seem to be to the people in the scenario at the ti

We call it Hangry. Assuredly the word came from somewhere else, we lay no claim to it.

I have a two year old. So far I haven't used that phrase but I think I will add it to my bag'o'tricks. So far what has worked is spending time trying to explain. He looks at me quietly, you can see his cogs whirring and - wh

Even with a PR backlash, providing the sums work out correctly. I have no doubt it'll happen, just a matter of when. I like the idea of humans not having to do trivial work. But I am concerned as to whether as a society we'll tran

You just restored a little bit of my faith in humanity. Thank you.

Different people are saying different things but your question is most important. I suspect - but obviously can't speak on behalf of - the GP is using a definition of:worth $50/hr for the business bottom line.

I think there is a miscommunication in "worth" between some of the posts here. Definition 1. - your version "a worker is only "worth" $50/hour if there is a supply of people willing to pay them $50/hour.&q

But every character needs to be "social enough" to work as a team. IE by definition, to participate in a team you can't min all stats but Strength for example. Because you need enough "social" to be part of a team i

Oh! Thank you so much for that, my mind figuratively went Ding! While I mentioned "primordial ooze" I was thinking of ooze as a random assortment of elements we may or may not know much about as my "keep your mind open to pos

Ok. You one upped an idea I didn't mention here and my wife ridicules me for. Instead of train stations you have railgun station funnels and personal "coffin gliders": - Railgun shoots you to your destination. - The coffin&#x

Two routines, consistently. The routine doesn't have to be hard, but it should require you to pay attention. When you commute, it is simply a routine. When you are at the other end, you are in the other mode. Normally, the routine to &

Why "wealth tax"? Why not "income boost" by taking some % (20%? 50%? 80%?) of the dividends and dividing it equally to the people who work there as well as pay their salary. The company does well - you get a bonus! The c

I am similar. At Uni I had a gregarious circle of friends and got a nickname that "everyone" used including my now wife. Out of Uni, in the workplace I am legal-name - no more, no less. I don't want work bullshit to taint wha

I absolutely don't know much, so question here: Why is it assumed that a "star faring society" must originate from a place of significant gravity? I can understand heat and some way to gather the required chemicals (primordia

Kid who didn't know better changes mind when new information is realised. Not worth vilifying. Not worth accolades for basic rational thought. Palmer is meh. As other comments have pointed out, don't waste energy on the scapegoat.

The definition of naivety means he didn't know any better. He simply backed up what he believed, which I would expect. Now he knows better. He has changed his mind. Which is what any rational person should do when presented with new in

Yeah, the authoritarian method is brutal beyond compare. But it does let them "get shit done." Building the pyramids and the great wall and many other "wonders" took literally slave labor for multiple lifetimes and yet s

I disagree with China Authoritarianism and it's heavy handed social approach and they surely get a lot of things wrong in engineering and suburban planning too. But the scale China works at is mind boggling and I couldn't hope to

I can't help but think that rail mass transit needs work too. Thoughts I am sure have appeared elsewhere: - instead of cars, have a car cabin with standardised externals. Like a tiny shipping container with windows and aircon. - self d

A big part to this is that the voters have confidence in the result, hence they don't go around looting and starting civil wars. Trump is scary. I am not of the US but: I fear if Trump wins. I fear the tantrum/insurrection of Trum

Internation freight may be travelling in some sense but the time differences for me now are huge. Motorbike parts used to be airfreight. I am now waiting 8-10 weeks as it comes by sea. I use eBay now because - as per sibling comment - it le
