Plumber does not do 50/50. I'm not kidding, the helper could not speak any English. And now, I end up explaining it. If you don't bring measurable value, you are dispensable regarding of HR speak.

I mark it up. I am a builder. The point is, you need to bring measurable value.

It's not about bums. It's about returns. My comment is so real, I can send you invoice and pictures.

My plumber reworked my bathroom and was done in one day, today. Really, no fake. He'll come back for the trim. He had a helper. The plumber gets paid $1,500.
His company is constantly looking for helpers. Nobody gets fired unless fails to show up for work.
If you cannot figure the answer on your own, I won't say it either.

For the sake of objectivity, Shinzo Abe was killed by Tetsuya Yamagami and there is no excuse or justification for this murder.

As an immigrant (of 27 years) I can tell you that the USA is not Jurassic Park enough (Is that a good metaphor?). The monsters keep me on the edge. It is my job to watch for the traps. I am being lied left and right, in many ways, including companies your kind empower. Everyone wants my money. I fell and got back on my feet. I am ordinary and I am thankful. I am a parent to my own children - as for me, a big daddy is the worst that can happen to me.

Is this an honest conversation about COVID-19? Anonymous, seemingly educated claims that have gone viral.

" If you are a desktop machine and run out of memory, don’t try to recover from the panic, quit the program or even shut-down the computer."
Taken at face value and without additional context, this statement displays an appalling lack of respect for the user.

Here's a good old business idea. Create a gift registry where donors upload their donations to be validated / accepted by the charity org. The registry could be open source or for-profit.

Should Apple forbid any for-pay streaming service, yet charge for their own, would Apple still breach competition rules?

As a homebuilder, 100% of labor is done by subcontractors. For me to blame subs for any issue is beyond comprehension. What makes Uber different?

Not really. Wrists never rest between touchpad and keyboard.

Could not Apple place the touchbar between touchpad and keyboard and leave the function keys alone? That might please both camps and rid of controversy.
