Sounds very Florida public schooling. Just not the case in states like MA (re: quality and efficacy of education).

That's pretty standard, even for well-run chains. Gives the primary business (making food profitably) a huge cash infusion, and removes a distraction.

Obviously deal terms are important, but that action on its own isn't stripping for the sake of stripping.

Re:My Cat Alerted Me to a DDoS Attack on Sunday April 14, 2024 @05:26PM (#40034627)
And here I thought your somehow hooked up a cat feeder to alerts.

Regardless, very cute - what’s your cat’s name?

Depends on the structure - Public OpCo controlled by non-profit worked out well for Novo Nordisk. Get the resources needed from the public markets, but still maintain the mission-driven control and focus on diabetes.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

The cynical response there is “It would’ve performed even better if it was a subscription”
Re:The magic of the Japanese convenience store sandwich on Friday March 11, 2022 @02:43PM (#30645063)
Yep, European is a step up from American for sure. Still not as good as Japanese ones IMO.
Re:The magic of the Japanese convenience store sandwich on Thursday March 10, 2022 @10:38PM (#30635858)
It’s relative to western convenience store food. Gas station sandwiches are some of the most depressing meals in existence.
So do Americans, that argument doesn’t hold water.
That was a quote from Facebook’s official response to the leaks.

The display ad on mobile cuts the article in a really odd way.

GCP revenue rises from $3Bn to $4.6Bn, but how does that track against AWS and MSFT?
Re:What’s the matter with airports? (2011) on Saturday July 24, 2021 @02:29PM (#27943330)
JFK and EWR don't have direct connections to public transit, but instead offer a mediocre people mover to a nearby train station. LGA only has a bus.
Re:MF DOOM Has Died on Thursday December 31, 2020 @07:12PM (#25598918)
I can't believe he's been dead for months, the Instagram post that announced it says he passed away on Oct. 31st.
Re:This Blog Is Now Running on Solar Power on Friday July 10, 2020 @08:15PM (#23798144)
Can you make the right hand div with the solar status a tad wider? The scroll bar cuts off the units of measure on Chrome + Windows.
Re:Google bans Zoom from employees' computers on Thursday April 09, 2020 @04:01AM (#22820640)
Because in 2020, it's still a far simpler and better product than anything else at 1 thing - getting large video conferencing to be seamless.
Re:‘Content network effect’ makes TikTok tough to copy on Wednesday April 01, 2020 @07:37PM (#22754695)
It's truly comical how bad Twitter is at managing it's acquisitions. Time and time again, they get the initial idea right, then squander it.

I've had a Peak Design backpack for about a year now. Best money I've spent on a backpack yet.
How does this compare to SuperMetrics?
Sounds super interesting, do you have a link?

Re:What's SAP? on Wednesday February 05, 2020 @09:05PM (#22252859)
Mostly agree. However, I think pure software companies/ software companies that have far less human complexity can get away with building better software over improving processes and compliance.
Re:What's SAP? on Wednesday February 05, 2020 @08:29AM (#22246524)
As someone working in healthcare, I can attest to the value in getting an healthcare org to adopt standardized workflows. I'll take an org that follows process over better software that isn't used in a consistent manner.

There is too much operational and human complexity to solve healthcare with software alone.
