I think any organization that actually incentivizes employees to complete small, objectively-measurable tasks quickly will have stories like this once you've got enough employees. Unless you keep cameras on them at all times, I guess

I think it's totally doable if you can avoid cash completely, but for most of the costs of handling it, they hit when you take your first dollar. If you're already buying a cash register, counting, making change, stocking cash&#x2

Nobody claimed that all schools (or schools in general) will have the same outcomes regardless of funding. It's quite possible parent engagement and cultural differences are stronger drivers for positive outcomes, and that those things

Are there records of any US public schools that were underperforming, were given notably more funding, and saw a corresponding increase in test scores or other objective metrics? EDIT: I guess I'm looking for the success stories. &quot

Does evidence show more school funding would fix underperforming public schools?

False. The wipers engage automatically by default. If you disable that, you can push the button at the end of the stalk to wipe once, or adjust via voice commands. But yes, you can also use the touchscreen.

Perhaps, but every thread needs the comments from someone who rode in one / test drove it once and just can’t wrap their head around how it can be driven without staring at the screen. Even to those of us who have driven them every day

If I’m reading that study correctly, it’s measuring when drivers actually operate the touchscreen while driving. That’s a bit different from driving a car that happens to have one. Every Model 3 has one, and they’ve been made in large numbe

Does this need to be in literally every thread about Tesla? Is there any evidence at all that this is the impairment of safety opponents claim? Model 3s have been sold in large numbers since 2018. Are drivers crashing into other cars at hig

I don't think it was intended to be disrespectful, but stef25's response was clearly in irony, given his original post. The idea that s/he was genuinely unaware and appreciative of the response seems unlikely.

I didn't previously claim you were impolite, although I do think you were. If this were a peer you knew and respected personally, calling them out in front of other peers and suggesting others might think he meant it in a racist way wh

Controlling the language people use under the premise of someone arguably being offended is rarely really about "politeness," though. Perhaps it's better if we all act like adults capable of understanding nuance in a discussi

We haven't seen evidence anyone has been offended yet. Only that you are concerned others might be. A surprisingly common phenomenon.

Just like we couldn't get consensus around "patriotism is good" to get continued support for wars after 9/11. Either that or caricatures like "my opponents don't think racism is bad" are unhelpful straw-ma

Certainly. After all, it's only a matter of time until the other ones become "problematic" as well.

I made an error like that one year. It was as simple as me (personally) not receiving one of the 1099s from a few months of work my wife had done for a non-profit. For those unaware: You get a 1099 when you're paid as a contractor, whi

It would work for a few years. Then more laws pass, court cases get decided, and the tax code would get more complicated. Now even TurboTax is a pain to use, and (as it ends up) the bureaucrats in charge of improving it are just as incapabl

Thank you for bringing some sanity to this thread. I think the vast majority of drivers are taking their eyes off the road to adjust media / climate controls even in cars with traditional tactile controls. It's a glance to see wha

It also helps a lot when the quality of the work performed by the person is subjective and overall success is largely dependent on the work of others (writers, musicians, tour directors, sound editors, etc.). It'd be a lot tougher to b

For many people, the idea that black people don't commit crimes at a higher rate than others goes against their every-day experience in the USA. Maybe your response is ironic: I genuinely can't tell. But clearly "my every-day

Both are trivial and take only minutes if you're already familiar with them, but Lambda doesn't involve managing instances, their OSes, or making sure they scale up / down (at the instance level) the way you want.

My instinct is with yours, but in some very simple use cases, it can make sense. For example, you've got a legacy PHP web application you have to maintain, and it's got spaghetti code all over the place, but all uploaded user cont
