The average nurse cares more than her wage pays for. I guess it's the same with the average daycare worker. At least it's my own experience (against all odds daycare workers have pretty low wages here in France)

You are right, I think it's the only way to expand this kind of service, and the reason why they require the bags to fit in a sedan. We can even imagine an uberpop for thrash with untrained people driving and destroying their car with

I found a TR808 in a garage sale 10 years ago. Nice memories! There is a cheaper alternative with a similar sound and programmation capabilities (althoughfar more cumbersome and no sound tweak possibilities) : the CR8000. All this gear is g

I especially find the instant delivery order disturbing. Is that even close to necessary in 90% of the use cases? Putting the product in a shopping cart would be more than enough and would allow group shipping.

I don't think that this is a huge problem when it comes to selling relatively expensive and bulky items like bikes. First you get to buy see & try the bike. Most of the time the seller will not ship it. There is a huge incentive fo

It amaze me how the app ecosystem drove down) (maybe too much) the price of those effects. We used to pay (back in 2005) big bucks for the same quality AND less practical controls (mouse vs touch screen).

Art of Fighting is a good example. Something remarkable is also the more and more refined graphics throughout the iterations of a serie. If you compare fatal fury 1 & 3 it's the same resolution and same colors but there is a huge p

Many of the already mentionned books. Hal Clement's Mission of Gravity, in the hard science genre. As a kid I was absolutely stunned by The Tripods. I highly recommend these books (trilogy) for your kids (10-13 yo).

Even if there are only driverless cars, you can imagine that some models will have a costly casualty limiting option that will ask cheap neighbouring cars to take the maximum damage when a collision occur.

Driverless cars will in the far future also be able to minimize the injuries and deaths when an accident cannot be avoided by deciding who should be hurt and who should not. For example it might hit a motorcyclist with a helmet, rather than

Maintenance is expensive for sure and new old stock is scarce. But there it's not only tube amps vs solid state amps, there are also modeling amps. They've been around for more than a decade and they are able to simulate the effec

I find it pretty neat. I usually get a dozen games on my steam store page, based on the games in my library (=my supposed taste decided by an algorithm). With this I get a whole (and unexpectedly large) picture of the sale. I'm overwh

If you want to go that way, you really should think of some compensation for being over targeted. It shouldnt be free for a society to over target an individual for being part of a minority.

Very low price means 2k/person for Egypt. It is immensely expensive for this country and not sustainable for the egyptian healthcare system. But it's the same for developped countries. There is an inherent conflict of interest in

Thanks, the parent link did not mention this. His email reads like something sincere. Still confused why he did apologize on the phone. Harder to CCI your CEO on the phone maybe.

Kudos for wiring this (and also for the rest). I can't seem to succeed wiring much simpler circuits on the first attempt, and get mad going through all the connections to see what's wrong.
