  1. Re:Where's the story here? on Cash Might Be King, but They Don't Care (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I am sympathetic to the reality that restaurant staff are not particularly well paid, ... but paying everything with plastic is also more convenient for me personally , so I have little inclination to deal with cash for a portion of the transaction.

    That held together well. (emphasis mine)

    You might want to shake up your conceptions on that by reviewing who are the greatest charitable contributors. It's not a money divide, it's political.

    The restaurants in the article are hipster restaurants in New York City, so the poor aren't going to be eating there any way.

    Little bit of a hipster ourselves, aren't we?

    When I was younger and a single parent, my grandmother gave us $20. We dressed up and I took my daughter to a good restaurant. I paid with that cash.

    How pompous does one have to be to exclude someone visiting a nice establishment appropriately dressed just because they have a low income?

    It is a universally accepted fact that meat is "evil" in many ways.

    No, it is not. You're just projecting your desires.

    You equate chopping up a blood relative to chopping up an animal for food?

    Here's the morphology of chimp, orang and human.

    According to your hypotheses, chimps are greater consumers of meat than we are. This is not the case.

  18. Self-contradicting on How Harvard Teaches CS Students How To Code (kqed.org) · · Score: 1

    One way he does this is by asking students to self-identify by comfort level. Those groups become different section levels, and they sometimes get different homework, but harder assignments are not worth more credit.

    "At the end of the day all students are treated with the same expectations,"

    Clearly not, and they state they're using subjective criteria in the grading.

    "the human structure within the course." Seriously, what is the meaning of this phrase? The whole thing reads like babble.

    Don't quote a poem as a source of your national stance. That's just stupid. Stupid also is to let in those who vocally call for the destruction of your country, refuse to assimilate and *become* your neighbor and who actively call for *their* law (you know, from where they came) to replace *your* law.
