Whereas the average Medium post is 3.5 minutes of mild liberal outrage about a group that doesn't know what Medium is. This is also known as the worst part of Huffington Post, outside of design.
Because QR codes are terrible.
It's kind of the standard for McDonald's in France (their second largest market per capita). Each restaurant has huge freestanding kiosks that you can order and pay from. It dramatically speeds up service, allows you to get an order just right, and gets your fingers covered in germs just prior to eating.

Re:I Bought An Apartment To Rent Out On Airbnb on Friday November 01, 2013 @07:39PM (#6657307)
I put my parents up in an AirBnB apt in Paris when they were visiting me. The renter had an agreement with a handful of friends that they would crash at their friend's apt when their apt was being AirBnB'd out. She said a lot of the students do it to earn extra cash. Same was true in most other cities we AirBnB'd in.

Berlin has been gentrifying ever since they tore down that wall. You can still buy apartments in East Berlin for under $100K.

What no one is talking about but should know:

Melatonin is amazing for people that smoke weed. If you're one of those people that casually smoke but wake up the next morning feeling groggy and out of sync, take melatonin at night as directed in this article and other places. Getting into your bed will feel amazing. You will drift off to sleep, even if your iPad or music is on. And you will wake up like a normal person, except a bit more relaxed. As I became more and more successful I smoked less and less because of how it affected my performance the next day. With Melatonin I can smoke like Sophomore in college enjoying Adult Swim on a Sunday for the first time.

What no one else is talking about:

Melatonin can make you super constipated. Eat fiber, take fiber pills, eat a balanced diet high in vegetables and it should else. If you're on a neckbeard died, say goodbye to pooping regularly and when you do, it will be compact.
