In some areas you can use commuter benefits with Uber and I think Lyft was implementing that also.

People have asked me if they should buy in. I've simply told them as a complete gamble. Suggested if they want to buy go with a small amount of money and not be concerned if they lose it all. I don't know they bought but I made it

Those are all nice and good value propositions, but at the end of the day you need to sell better. You need to get past the gate keeper and deliver a pitch that makes you seem amazing. Being better is clearly an advantage. but without the p

It is substantially better per transaction. Insert card, wait a few seconds, type pin. Vs fumble for check book, find a pen, write all the details and sign it, then because most business have fraud issues with checks. run it through a third

If you have the means, relocate. Chicago has a lot of jobs, same with the Milwaukee area. While the COL can vary, it will definitely be better than the bay area. The other factor, leave your location off your resume. Sure it will show you w

The weird thing is that Google previously and maybe still has enough cash around to simply buy the vast majority of the music and movie industry. I just checked, they literally could buy most of the music and movie industry. Problem solved

On the plus side I have noticed an upward trend to not allowing checks at retail locations.

That's interesting, what happened? I've always loved the simplicity of a couple of inhereted requirements files in Python depending on the environment. Pin the version as necessary and call it a day. usually my requirements files

I've lost multiple terabytes with btrfs on multiple different systems. It was essentially a random occurance. These were all cases of simply using it as a regular filesystem. I read the docs I attempted recovery. They didn't work.

by paulie_a 8y ago
If you care about data not randomly failing, btrfs is not an option. While working in that specific industry it seems like there is a motivation to specifically go out of their way to make things unreliable, extra complicated and utilize ba

Is btrfs still a thing? Reading other people's experiences, atleast a couple distros dropping it as a default, and my personal experience of it crashing completely. I'm surprised anyone would even consider it as an option. It simp

I have gone there when the place was half empty and told there would be a 20 minute wait, which turned into 40. The hostess told me I needed to download an app to check in for a table. I can go further but I am surprised that place is actua

In his case it may have started out that way, but eventually devolved after he wasn't getting the attention anymore. He became irrelevant but still wanted the same fame. He might have shined some light on things, then he became a douch

I think he is too dumb to realize he was used as a Russian asset. The attention whoring he is known for blinded him. While dumb, I don't think he has specifically kept secrets about Trump. His actions show a definite agenda. Act two, h

Instacart has always been excellent in my experience, they have alerted me of better deals, recommendations for different equivalent products. I've managed to get power drill delivered to my doorstep in about an hour. And for meat&#x2F

It's typically 1/3 of your feed in my experience. It depends on time of day I've noticed. I usually use Facebook either in the morning before I get up and there are less ads. Or late at night when winding down. But they reall

Why would the 15 an hour office workers care? And quite frankly if that makes them unhappy, they are free to find employment elsewhere. They were clearly fine with the pay previously, why should it matter what someone else is making. That j

In my experience, whatever you think is honest and accurate, triple it. And whatever you think is a fair price, double or triple it. A proposal doesn't need to be done in a special tool. It's a simple document that outlines what w

If an ISP can't push reliable updates to their hardware they shouldn't be in business. Vulnerabilities should be prioritized of course. But I honestly don't mind when someone creates a worm that bricks crappy devices that isp

Or just use a third party device and skip using their software entirely. Smart TVs basically universally suck.

I normally don't complain about downvotes, because honestly who cares. But I am curious why I do get consistently downvoted for simply stating that the GDPR is not relevant for a significant portion of the internet. EU users might not

Sorry the weed bit was unrelated. More of an example of the weird world of a music venue. They basically didn't care if it was for personal use, but they didn't want people that were clearly going to deal. It wasnt in the employee

Just do an incorrect inventory. Some venues let workers do inventory and reporting. They are charging for the cup itself and that is how they determine sales. If a stack of cups disappears, there is no reconciliation. Music venues have some

The GDPR pop-ups are incredibly annoying. The particular website has no obligation to comply with it. Most websites don't need to even give it a thought. It seems to just be a knee jerk reaction yet it is irrelevant.

There are people that are influential on yelp. I know people that get preferential treatment by the owners of higher end restaurants because their rating carries so much weight. It's pretty interesting. Tagging along with one guy we go

I also agree. There needs to be a unique and specific selling proposition. For example in real estate: "your home sold in 120 days or I'll buy it". That give me a reason and beneficial out come to contact them. Generic &quo

It isn't in the Midwest, although vary by company but It tends to be a "don't abuse it, use your judgement". Sometimes that can be a beer in the middle of the day. Sometimes it's happy hour on the clock on Fridays.
