I'm sure that by "some" they mean very few. But having said that, the vast majority of meals consumed by my family are cooked at home by someone who is not specifically being paid to do it. If the machines make reasonably priced, reasonable food we would buy more precooked meals, even if we ate them at home.
So I think there is plenty of opportunity for restaurants to increase the number of meals they sell by improving the experience using machines, rather like refrigerated transport and modern packaging improve the experience of getting food to eat at home
My last company required a 3 month notice period. When I found a new job I negotiated a start date 90 days in the future and gave my notice. Then the company I gave notice to felt that they no longer wanted me working on any "sensitive" projects so that put me on "garden leave".
Then they realized they were wasting money and couldn't hire a replacement until I left, that's when they asked me if I would consider leaving earlier...
If it is a commonplace requirement in India then hiring companies will understand and make offers that factor in the notice period, and if that happens often enough employers will start to see it as a burden on them and drop the practice.
No they were problems the Immigration Service were having with some software they are developing. They figure with so many skilled immigrants needing access to the country they have boundless tech support opportunities. I would expect the next traveler to be asked to reset a domain password.
Assuming the teacher knows what they are doing, that scratch is up and running on machines before the class starts, that there is enough equipment for 1 PC/ipad per student, that there are a few adult volunteers to help kickstart the kids. Then they can learn something worthwhile in that hour.
They will learn if they like doing this kind of thing and they will learn that it is easy and they will learn that they can download scratch to their PC at home or their school ipad and play around with it on their own.
I know it works because I have led a one-off class like that at an elementary school (after hours) and a few of the kids came up to me weeks later and said that they had got into programming scratch because of it and they entered scratch projects at the science fair
The IRS already know everything I send to them. The only reason they have me write it up and send it in again is to generate coprorate welfare for the tax prep industry. They could make a lot of this go away by simply sending me a summary and if I agree with it no further action is necessary and no further confidential uploads to the IRS are needed.
They were warned, the ancient people of Zealand, but did they listen, no ! They chose "clean coal", they drilled baby, they modded their cars with coal kits...
Decrementing a counter in one country and incrementing another counter overseas causes this company to be worth $1bn right out of the gate ! That right there shows you how much people are being ripped off to transfer money.
The russians recently built a large concrete containment building and wheeled it into place over the ruins of Chernobyl's reactor, the Japanese must be thinking of doing something similar. I would have thought that crushed leaded glass would be a reasonable concrete ingredient, use it to build a containment shield around every reactor.
Don't the loan sharks simply swoop, wait until either someone gets desperate and then accepts their UBI for the remainder of their days in return for a lump sum.
I enjoyed watching Hans Rosling's TED talk and visiting his dollar street web application. It's so hard to get a feel for what it is like to live in another country, so I can't judge how much difference $40 per month per couple would make. But I believe people, goods and services are generally free to move around Kenya, so it will be interesting to see what effect this has on the economy outside of the target villages and how the demographics of each village changes during the experiment.
If they have, say, a minute of pixelated video presumably they could estimate the orientation and position of key features of the face and then make progressively improving estimates of a higher resolution image.
I know that was not the focus of this research (to match a pixelated image to one of a number of high resolution alternatives). But much of the crappy blurry images I see are in the form of video and it seems to me that there would be multiple independent images of a face that could be assembled into a single better image using related information in other frames.
Skipping grades is no substitute for providing properly matched education for a group of students. It's not the higher grade they are looking for it's the greater depth, the faster pace they can handle, at some schools all that the premature grade promotion means is that the student winds up skipping some content (in the grade they were promoted over) or runs out of high school math classes before 12th grade
For a grade school with fewer students, I have never understood why a math teacher could not split a class into two groups and informally just push one group a little harder, give them more challenging work. The idea is to give each student equal time and attention, with all the modern aids available in the classroom I don't see why that has to mean equal assignments for each student, even the textbooks I see have "challenge" questions in them, I'd like to see more of that.
On the subject of who pays for college, I see proposals each year that graduates should pay more if they earn more. That's fine to an extent and I'm sure they already do to an extent. But to push that so far that effectively only Engineers and Scientists are expected to pay to get everyone through their liberal arts degrees is an over-reach and will lead to that group calling the shots, a degree of control I'm sure the other faculties won't want to relinquish
I studied engineering and typically my classes had hundreds of students in them, even if there were more classroom hours and more expensive professors (I have no idea) that's a lot of students to dilute that cost in. I'd like to see a better breakdown of the figures before I declared that colleges had significantly higher costs to create an engineer than a fine artist, there are all sorts of ways to allocate overheads of one sort or another to one program or another to make a point.
As I'm not one of them, I think football players that received scholarships and subsequently made it big should pay for it all
How about a different scenario... (first fix the math, 30/2.5 is only 12 per hour to break even so selling only 24 per hour won't break the bank) Your minimum wage customers now have more disposable income so they're willing to splurge on a hotdog more often, so you invest in a more modern, higher capacity, more efficient oven that partially automates the bake/basket/sell cycle and that supports your one (now more experienced and productive employee) to do business of 36 units per hour at a cost of only $0.4 per unit, bringing you more profit. It's a win for the employee, for you, for the staff at the oven factory.
Rose tinted specs, sure maybe, but better than the shit tinted ones, I get that there is a division of the spoils between capital and labor, but the capital has to up the ante from time to time too, not just sit back and expect the return to be infinite

Maybe not enough of them are eaten

If anything the Liveperson poll is lacking in that it did not include a cowboy Neal option.

a statement like "I can assure you that my client's data is as secure as data can be made" would be a big red flag to me.

Pressurizing the carriages will make the passengers smaller, so they can be stacked closer together.
I think it under represents the jobs coal creates. There's pulmonologists, oncologists, climate scientists, lobbyists, politicians...
or they could just supply an app for your phone or let you use your credit card as your ticket.
Thank god for that, I don't need to join the Foreign Legion after all.
Better informed than Donald Trump, who gets his "facts" from whoever is on Fox when he wakes up.
Meh, it's no ED-209, looks more like something from Wallace and Grommet.
Microsoft Access be damned, they all use excel for that.
A few random things...

it sounds like a great weight loss plan. maybe I should sign up.
