Many of these stores have a counter or wall full of tablets - 1 for each delivery service. They have an Uber Eats tablet, a GrubHub tablet, DoorDash tablet, Bite Squad tablet, etc.

I've only ever seen Slack in 1 of 2 modes: - Dozens of people in every room having multiple conversations, and any comment you make is quickly lost in the flow of other discussions. - Ghost town.

It would have to be a common kitchen, and they would need everyone to pass a food handler's class. Given Uber's reputation for bucking regulation, I would be doubly-hesitant to trust meals from their kitchen.

You believe phones should only show pornography and no other apps should exist. Thank you for revealing your true character.

OneBusAway is surprisingly accurate, at least in my experience. Google Maps has very good transit support too. One reason buses are late is because a bus must travel a circuit. Cars provide linear transportation, so the delay can only happe

Many of us were tired of the partisan sniping before this week's tragedies. Election season makes the politically-minded think they can endlessly spill toxic discourse across all social and news mediums.

This article is so FUD that it hurts. Honestly, yes, I want law enforcement to use DNA among other evidence they collect. I do not live in fear that law enforcement is secretly hunting me. If you do, speak to someone about your paranoia. My

I did too, during Marketing 101 in college. And this illustrates the need to update the term.

Amazon Go's model is "Extreme Loss Prevention" - have no checkers, monitor all customers, and just charge their account for what they "shoplifted". Amazon Go stores are classist and ageist in a different way than tr

I first heard this quote from David Carradine in the TV series Kung Fu: The Legend Continues . Cain was telling this to his impatient teenage son. Both characters were monks in a Buddhist temple in California.

What are some strategies for dealing with this sort of toxic reply? I also feel pornography has its place (alone or with 1 other consenting adult), and parent's refrain is sung far too often by other men.

Grocery stores have to employ who they can get - they can't offer tech wages nor interesting projects. Either you're stacking cans at 45 cases per hour, or you're scanning and bagging 3 items a minute, or cleaning toilets and

You're right, I believe I'm thinking of accelerometers.

CPM should be updated to CPK. The M in CPM is the Roman numeral for 1000. It's an archaic term, and should be replaced with the SI unit for 1000. Though coining the phrase "kilo-impression" would be a stretch.

How small can we make a gyroscope and still have it respond to gravity? Maybe a few molecules? Could this be a path to unify Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity - through experimentation, since theory seems to have failed?

Which Vancouver? Seattle doesn't have a 311 phone service. But they do have a Find It Fix It app. It's 2018 not 1988, why don't more cities have an app? http://www.seattle.gov/customer-service-bureau/find

Were you switching from dialup to high-speed internet? The latency numbers sound about right for dialup to a local server - if memory serves from the early 2000s.

It's like GP has never shopped at Costco. Edit: or had elderly parents. When someone needs to use a walker, good luck getting them on a bicycle. Plus, where do you carry the walker?

There's a reason motorcycles are common in the summer in WA State, but very rare in the winter. You'll arrive completely drenched if you're not in a car. Not only is there rain, sometimes sideways rain, but also lots of roadw

Or the UK, where they drive in miles and weigh themselves in Stones. In the USA, you can buy soda in liters and most cars use metric wrenches.

How about the metric time system? 1 day = 10 hours 1 hour = 10 minutes 1 minute = 10 second minutes 1 second minute = 10 third minutes Or should it scale at 1:100? Why or why not?
