Sensational news galore.

I stopped ordering from restaurants in general because costs too much compared to buying ingredients and making a decent version of what I want. Y'know kinda like how software works and I love making customized software.

Keyword for food delivery is time.

I don't wanna spend my time to walk to the restaurant, wait, get a waiter, order, wait, wat, wait, get some food, probably s...

Blockchain

Always been bullish on blockchain for financial transactions.

Blockchain speeds up the settlement process in finance. That means bank transfers (ACH, Wire Transfer), stock transfers, escrow and anything involving recorded exchange can be settled very quickly and with low fees. ACH $3? Wire transfer fees up to $50? Insane isn't it? ACH is a patch on top of an legacy system that was not built for electronic transaction settlement.

In banking, you won't need ACH or Wire transfers anymore. Will this hap...

I give him credit for the whole thing.

Turns out the credit runs into the red. Go figure.

Business man my ass.

Summary: Don't open a CK savings account.

Never seen any savings offering that let you link only one account and doesn't let you change it for that matter. Second, you never see the account number nor the routing number associated with it, so you cannot pull money away. Last 4 digits aren't exactly helpful.

Several people, including me, got into a bind where the linked account has been closed, so you effectively lose a way to withdraw or deposit into the CK account. What's the point of the offering if you can...

It is/was a great product. It is so simple to use. It is nothing like JIRA. It has so much potential to be a much better than JIRA product.

I just liked being able to create a card in Trello quickly. I liked dragging the cards to update the status or change the ordering. I liked being able to tag the cards and put a color on the tag. I never liked the sprint system in Agile at least the way I've been introduced to it and Trello could not be used that way which is great. I liked the experience, but it felt...

CoronaWar and Oil Dumping

Layoffs are prominent in the Travel and Shipping industry. It'll soon spread to the Tech Industry, who thinks they are immune. If people conserve money they will cancel their subscriptions and stop buying hardware and software like they used to, so that means Tech companies will be forced to shed the fat and trim some of the lean.

Governments from the top and bottom are grappling with how to deal with Coronavirus containment and mitigation. People are buying household products and fo...

Freedom of speech only applies to Government. It is posts like this: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8481 that try to apply the Free Speech principle everywhere they go and it attracts bottom feeders. The same bottom feeders that go on 4chan, 8chan, Trump or Alt Right sub-reddits to post vitriolic bull and want to invoke free speech or invoke the conspiracy that globalists, liberals or whatever boogeymen are trying to shut them down. Guess what, freedom of speech don't apply to private forums. Yeah, a shock.

It does not make me wonder why highly infectious diseases will never be eradicated.

Not surprising that Republicans and Trump are spooked enough to request emergency funds around this ordeal after cutting CDC funds because eh, pandemics never happen. Maybe they were managed well that it didn't seem like a problem, y'know just like how anti-vaxxing became a thing because some people feel vaccinations are not needed nowadays.Yeah well, you can be reinfected with SARS COVID-2 as the virus overwhelms your bodie...

You know what is more likely to happen? Quitting. Temporary leave.

Not sure why "got hit by a bus" as a expression for person is suddenly gone took off. If said person in the room then it is usually followed by something to smooth it over such a "God forbid". How about just hitting the nail in the head with the most likely thing to happen which is quitting or sudden leave. Quitting could be the company, team or life.

I will address every time I hear it because it is egregious and the fact that it has to be fo...

"DoorDash contractors have turned a forced arbitration clause in their contract against their employer, as a federal judge has ordered DoorDash to arbitrate 5,010 labor disputes, potentially costing the company millions in arbitration fees"

Another case of "Ooops, we didn't see that coming" when management tries to shift costs to customers and employees to dissuade lawsuits. Any competent lawyer would have told th...
