Well, I can only speak for myself, but I promise you, there's at least one animal sitting right at this keyboard who rarely, if ever, shits on the ground.

Genius. And a startup idea to boot. Let's build the mobile app: "Uber for passive aggression."

Outstanding. Now if they can just get behind the burning at the stake part of my idea we'll be in business.

I propose that we collect this data on dogs when people register them, so that when the owners leave shit on the sidewalk they can be identified and burned at the stake.

I agree, the analogy is imperfect, because you don't pay interest unless you need to extend or maintain the code. It's only useful in a world where the codebase in question is under ongoing development, but those are the situatio

Technical debt is actually a really good analogy, precisely because non-technical finance people understand the tradeoff pretty intuitively. Sometimes incurring debt is the right thing to do, but you'll want to pay it down or you&#x27

I live in NYC. It wouldn't surprise me if these machines require direct access for an update, however these machines are serviced >all the time<. Apart from anything else, they need to collect the cash from the ones that accept

I think you'd really also need to normalize by age of the driver. I suspect that younger (under 21, say) drivers are more dangerous in both countries, but that in places where it's expensive and time consuming the licensed driver

Heh, the first foldable prototypes were made by cutting these things out with an exacto knife. If you ever saw someone do that, you'd know why we're confident that the die-cutting is valuable.
