“If Walmart paid their staff ... little reason for them to exist” I would believe that if the Waltons weren’t one of (the?) richest families in the world. They can afford to pay more but don’t as the US taxpayer is making up the difference

Some of my fondness memories are typing in programs from 101 Basic Computer games on a ZX81. That and Beagle Bros ads and their mysterious peeks and pokes. My dad and I built our computer from a kit ... which of course failed. Turns out 1

Huh, I would have thought constant changes would be easier onshore as it is easier to talk to the factory floor in real time to make the adjustments. Once that is all sorted out you then send it offshore as it is easily repeatable.

+1 to this. The poster can think of it this way: what if you there was a marketing person that was really good at it and then decided to start coding to make a product. Sure that might work for a prototype, but for anything more than some

How many jobs do early 20’s people have to compare it with? They might also have a bias as it is their first job out of school and are excited about meeting other people. Also the pandemic where 600k people died in the US alone might put a

Artificial situations? Like seeing how fast they can run 40 yards? Can they hit a home run? Can they stop 3 penalty kicks? Sports interviews are way more atuned to the actual job than software interviews.

That’s an interesting idea. Instead of treating the supplier as an enemy bring them on to your side with an offer of “if this part fails less than 1% of the time we’ll pay you $X more per part” Right now the only incentive they have is to

From the manual “special applications (e.g. animals) may require support for higher bpm values. ” I’m curious what a non-animal heart rate looks like. I really liked the format of the post, building up to useful working code. Thanks!

But they are using land productively as they are making $3100 a month off of a small studio. Also I doubt if raising taxes will result in anything more than them passing that cost on to the renters.

Thanks, I liked the description of projection: that it only works if the victim projects their own sympathies onto the aggressor. That is to say: when the victim starts to think “maybe that person is being honest and just wants the best out

My theory on that is that people are spooked by the virus and want to remain isolated. That and living in a smaller apartment isn’t that much fun when you have to spend all your time in it versus going out to eat or meet friends.

That’s what I don’t get. Maybe if a customer received an empty envelope they would think something is up and report it? By sending a token item the receiver thinks it is a gift? But why not a postcard then which is easier to include? Pa

I have — in this case Better Call Saul as I’ll probably watch it again in a few years. Since I don’t have to carry around a DVD I don’t have any cost of carrying around a DVD that I will probably lose. I liked that Amazon reduced the price
