Whatever you do, you get better at. Let's not wring our hands and fret over the generation of programmers that don't write assembly anymore.

This is an interesting piece of history, but doesn't seem to be a company folding after 3 weeks due to lack of org structure.

That's true, but the delivery people do not work for McD's. They do not legally work for the delivery companies (although practically they do). People that pay for delivery will not pay very much for delivery, generally less than

The critical industry of McDonald's delivery will never pay a living wage. There's not enough value. Folks will have to self-select out.

Yes. Money is being able to support my family. Money is a safety net. Money is choices. I'd take a little life, but only if it comes with a Big paycheck.

Kids are an experiment that you run without a control group. You do the best you can with the information you have, from a place of love. That's it. Social media is crappy and dangerous, and you keep them away from it until you are abl

Other people's feelings about a dimension don't change the dimension.

There's no reason to think any of this gobbledygook is necessary. Sure put up a warning sign and explain, in English, what's going on here. What's more interesting to me is that in 100 years, our descendants will still rememb

Nurses in the US make more than 2x what they're paid in the UK

by flerchin 2y ago
Doctors and nurses are paid too much in this country. Pharmaceuticals charge too much. Diagnostics are gold-plated. There's no downward pressure on these prices except what the insurance companies can negotiate, and people don't l

On average, people can read at least 200 WPM, but much higher at the top end. This is orders of magnitude higher than 10 bps.
