The OP said that $100 was a generous max high end. I estimated $130 as an absolute bare minimum for the operation I was familiar with, it was based on the real world. Feel free to take away the parking for a location that doesn't have

Traditionally, these threads will have a bunch of people that will proclaim that they will never fly in one of these planes. Am I the only one that actually has no problem with flying on Boeing planes and the MAX? The FAA and Boeing were pu

I did repeat some lies. Thanks for pushing on me to do my research better, haha. I looked into the details to clarify: The USPS has to have the cash on hand to pay earned benefits 50 years out. That is unique to the postal service. The same

I've dealt directly with this issue, and I would say that $100 is nowhere near enough. Daily costs might look like this for the operation I was involved in (Cap. hill Seattle). Rent a truck for a day (if available. every other business

The USPS is profitable on the delivery side. If they were allowed to operate as a normal business they would have more revenue than Fedex and UPS. Their free flow cash margins have been positive since 2013. They would be VERY profitable exc

There's a video corroborating exactly what she says happened in the article that is linked. You can click the link and see for yourself.

I use a generic xbox 360 wireless receiver for my PC. The device drivers are an unsigned version of microsoft's drivers. Should I really have to buy the identical dongle for double the price, so that developers can dig into the depths

Hmm. Set up a command line store. That would filter out people looking for a deal!

Why would that be better than the hundreds of hours of flight testing that they have done since the plane was grounded? Everyday flights are as boring as possible on purpose, you do everything you can to keep the plane away from the limits.

Check out Ben Eater on YT. He has a series where he builds an 8 bit CPU from components. And another where he builds a 6502 based computer from scratch. He sells kits to follow along, and explains everything along the way

I know a lot of people on here don't like them but software bootcamps are very much the startup working at solving the job training problem. Sadly, it is an industry where caveat emptor certainly applies, but if you do your research th

If someone can figure out how to cheat on an exam where each answer depends on the previous, and the original seed is unique to each student, wouldn't it show a pretty thorough mastery of the subject matter? I think the larger point is

Society treats university as a jobs training program. Observationally it seems like the universities (in Asia in particular, and the US to a lesser degree) encourage you to treat your diploma like a golden ticket to a good job.

I used to have an english boss who used this retort frequently. That was until I asked him how he pronounced the name of his quintessential made-in-England roadster. You know, his Caterham. For those not in the know, it is pronounced Kate-

There are a lot of issues, and densification is certainly happening in the downtown cores, but I don't believe it is enough to keep up with the demands put on it by population increases. More anecdata: I live walking distance to Downto

Chinese building practices assume a certain disposability that we haven't accepted in Canada. Apartment buildings are built with an assumed lifespan of around 30 years. I have no idea if that is a good thing or a bad thing. That kind o

As a recent immigrant to Canada it sort of terrifies me how irrational the market is. That said, I'm buying a house. I moved from Seattle and it is utterly bizarre to me that housing in Vancouver is more expensive than Seattle, while a
