Agreed, risk of injury does not factor into how long the trip would take given faster speeds. This article is an exercise in narrative nonsense.

Not JP Morgan because of Jamie Dimon. 'Don't invest money in idiots' seems to be one of Warren's basic rules.

The data used is clearly listed in the John Oliver video, but you'd have to have checked to know that. I don't comment on things I haven't read or watched, but it's clear not all of us do that.

Not really (even though the low pay for teachers is a filter for talent) - public school teachers still have to have at least a documented education to teach, and must maintain their certifications/training. Parents are not required to

Headline states 'mass exodus', article names three known companies that never actually moved to Austin, then three unknown companies with no context of those companies' workforce or products. Texas has problems, but this isn&

Most of this article is paid promotional bullshit, but it shouldn't be a surprise that billions of dollars being thrown at a short term pandemic surge would be an unwise investment. Ghost kitchens are still a great idea, just not one

These consultants have a sweet gig going on. They just interview everyone at the company, write down what the employees say needs to be fixed, then they put it in a report to upper management as expert recommendations. Then they bill for th

Agreed. It wasn't worth $44B when he bought it, so I'm not sure why the NY Times would even use that number in any way. If I pay someone $100,000 for a stick they found on the side of the road, it doesn't make that stick wort

When this story came out a couple of months ago, I didn't really understand how this would go undetected for any amount of extended time. One driver keeps having hundreds of dollars in cancelled orders and there's no tracking of i

Yeah, I cancelled the last time they did that.

No, it isn't. Details matter, and if they hiring even 1% too many people, then what else are they getting wrong by 1%? And how many of those things? The key is that they wouldn't know either. It could be a slow 'death by a th

I am friends of a long time, Fortune 50 CFO. Well, he was about 16 years ago before one large company went public and he made about $40M in a single day and decided he wanted to do something new (can't blame him). He told me repeatedly

Gaelic football is one of most amazing sports I've ever seen. I had no familiarity with it until a few years ago, but watching someone run with the ball on a pitch, dribble it, then drop kick it at full speed and bend the pass all the

I don't know if I agree, this was just 2009. Google, Twitter, YouTube all already existed and I'd been doing web dev work for 10 years at that point. I think tech is still the black box it's always been - just look at how man

When I learned React after two decades of web programming with C#, JS and even older tech like ASP or JSP, it was an effort. React has a LOT of stupid in it, but it's still got some great features. Next.js fixes quite a few of the init

Lemmy's user base doubled since Monday and heading towards 200,000 plus right now. I definitely think there's a migration, even if it isn't all of Reddit.

Agree with this. When I first hit Mastodon and Lemmy, I was hit with 'Join a server'. OK, but I want to at least start with one that's a 'main'server before I jump somewhere else. I can always splinter off later. No

Thanks for this. I can see Lemmy as a definite alternative now. I joined a couple of Lemmy servers and I definitely like it so far, and I'm looking to move away from Reddit anyway.

Residential leases and commercial leases are wildly different. Residential leases are fairly boilerplate but commericial leases are bespoke and negotiated.

Teams takes all that data, plus all the conversations about it, including audio, IMs, web browsing, etc and creates reports tying it all together. Teams is the 'one ring to rule them all' that allows it to all be coordinated in co
