Politics logic: That is 1 job for each store. Only 1 job. While the company that gave me 1.000.000 tells me they would have to fire 100 people. I just save 99 jobs.
Isn't the personal service a large part of why we go out to eat and drink?
Yes and no. If you go out to eat, McD is not the place to get personal service. You go to a 'real' restaurant. In Europe fast food places are not considerd if you say you go to a restaurant. To me there are two reason to go and eat out. The first is to have a social meeting with friends. Then the setting is not unimportant. The second is because you are hungry and you are to lazy to make food yourself. The setting is less important.
McD falls (at least in Euorpe) under the second one. Nothing wrong with that. They are just two different ways of eating out.
Fall purposes, unless you are a trained pilot, "Autopilot" means what the public think it means. And that would be a device that would drive without the help of anybody. I am sure that the marketing company is well aware that people interpret it that way. It is their core business to know what people think when words are used.
I am sure that thye even suggested 'Call it an 'autopilot*' and at the '*' where you say it is not what they thought it was.
They should have gone with "I can't believe it's not an autopilot".
So there is no need to say 'but an autopilot is...' as they are well aware what that would mean
If Lao Tzu wrote about it, we hardly call this news. We have had many examples of people who made a difference. Even if you do not pay any attention at history, you will know about sports or technics where there are people who made a difference. Are we supposed to be in awe, because she was a woman, or what? Yes, sometimes 1 person makes a difference. Most of the time they don't.
On one side there was "Amazon, Kickstarter, Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and Netflix during Battle for the Net's day of action" on the other side the other companies.
So who where the people defending the public? The companies having the same interest as the public does not mean they are on the same side. It is merely correlation.
Or: The enemy of my enemy is not automatically my friend. (And that is why you should vote for something, not against something)
Double standards seems to me something American, not something exclusive to the liberal leftists. But hey, at least the Orange one didn't get a blowjob. (Now I think about it, that could solve a lot, I think.)
If only I had known this earlier, I would not have to follow this boring sexual harassment seminar. At least the person giving the presentation has nice tits, so there's that.
Prove it. It is open source. Or are you talking that they will go after people who look at the source? Because they also look at those who don't look at the source.
In Europe we are working on it (35 workweek. 30 days holiday. Sick days are not holidays, maternity and paternity leave,...)
In the US, if the current situation is any indication there will be one poor chap working 16 hours a day for 6 days a week for a minimum wage and all the rest will be called unemployed slackers and get nothing.
The real problem is that Tesla's "Autopilot" is the worst possible solution to the problem.
This is not correct. The fact that 1 person died in a car accident and it is news means that it is not the worst solution. The worst solution would be not to have any. There are many people that are killed each and every day. They do not get into the news. This one is. So this is better than not having it. We will never hear about all the cases where it saved lives.
That said, it is also not the best option. The second best option would be to have a real auto-pilot. The best option (but extremely inefficient) is not have cars at all. No cars, no car accidents.
Paying and 'service' in the US is the thing I hated. The service in the restaurants (not fast food or food chains) was not better than I would get in Europe. If anything, I would say that it was a little bit worse. The reason is that when I am asked if I want a desert and say no, I would still be able to sit, empty the bottle of wine, order a coffee and cognac and enjoy the evening. Occasionally a waiter will look if I want something else. Then when I pay, they bring the bill. I look at it, tell the people I want to pay with a CC. They get the machine, I enter my PIN and that is that.
In the US (at least in almost all places I went to in New England) when they asked if I wanted a desert and said no, I was given a bill. When I told I wanted to pay with card, they leave with my card, come back with the card and some more papers and then leave. Never to be seen again.
To me that was clear that all the friendliness was because of money, not because they liked me or they where nice people.
Does that mean I never have bad service in Europe? No, it doesn't. There are people who are bad at doing their job all over the world. What I am getting at is that getting tipped does not improve the service.
And only giving the top few more money and not the bottom few is something I see in a lot of companies as an incentive. I never play their game. They say that a target is 100 and that the top 10% gets a bonus if they are above 100. That is all nice and now 10% is happy. What if 25% is above the target? Why would they not get a bonus? Another thing that I would dislike this is that it puts pressure on the employees where it is not needed. They already need to pay for the water and what not. This would just make that much worse. I also would rather have 80% service every time all the time than have 40% one time and 120% the next time, but that is a personal choice.
You know how often I used a payphone as a kid? Zero times. Be home at 6 for dinner and no excuse of not having a watch. If I was in doubt, I could go home earlier, but never later. You know how often I was late by accident? Never? (On purpose and trying to lie my way out of it? Often)
That said, I do not have kids nor am I 8 years old, so I have no idea how things work now. Being outside a group because you do not have a way to contact potential friends isn't fun either, nor is being bullied for NOT being on social media. (Haha, luser here doesn't even have a Facebook account. He probably eats boogers.)
I am still with YouTube. Subscribewd to around 200 channels. That means in reality about 2-3 hours per day. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
I get the new shows via RSS (Go to the 'Manage Channel' and download the RSS links) I then open them with an adblocker and watch them.
No random content. No ads. I could easily automate it further by downloading the files, but for now it is ok. Sometimes I ad channels and sometimes I remove some. Around 200 is what I can manage on a daily basis. Not all of them are active. Some have 1 video per month or so. Others are daily. It ranges from 2 minutes to 1 hour.
I have Facebook blocked via DNS, so I can not even go there by accident. Using my own DNS gave me also access to The Pirate Bay that is blocked her in Belgium on DNS level. I have no intention in watching anything on my phone, so Snapchat is not an option.
Obviously no cable anymore as that was money paying for ads, so no thanks.

Hello, hacker 4Chan and Reddit, please help us out here. We know what we want.

Nice that you gave the Dutch as an example. There was the VOC with a monopoly. And also obviously the first crash in The Netherlands due to Tulips.
Double standards seems to me something American, not something exclusive to the liberal leftists.

That is true, but you also do not need to understand all the issues in order to lead.
I have seen great leaders who had no idea what I was doing and I have seen lousy ones that did and everything in between.
The risk of a leader that knows it all is micro-management and the risk of a leader without the detailed knowledge is listening to the wrong people.
I believe in general micromanagement is worse than listening to the wrong people. The second can be easily changed when found out.

On the plus side, he reinstates H-1B visa's, so that is great, right?
I think what we should do is tie him to a dynamo and get energy from all his turning around on his points.

The movie actually was "This is not Harry Potter XXX. A parody". I hope he died the little death first.

I like the one where I sit behind a screen for hours on end.
Yeah, sorry.
In Belgium it depends. Some stores you weigh, sometimes you do not. Avocado would never be something that you buy per weight. You buy it per piece.
The real reason they do this is obvious money and then use the environment thing as marketing.
I never wash fruit or vegetables. I tried and the only difference I noticed is the time I wasted cleaning them.
