  1. What year was that?

    The illegals in front of Home Depot won't work for a penny less than $100/day. Typically a six hour day.

    I call bullshit!

    A fool and their money, were lucky to get together in the first place.

    It is an immoral act to let a sucker keep his money.

    Good for confido...Confido? They had 'confidence game' right in their name folks.

  3. The Ds and Rs have been in MAD for decades. Which is why nothing ever changes. What we need now is a dirt dump, politicians in jail and all new parties.

  4. Don't you have earth science homework or a letter to Santa to write?

    Even if it was the Ruskys, they did the world a _huge_ favor.

  6. Come and see the extortion inherent in socialism!

    'You get more of anything you subsidize' is a basic law of economics. You apparently want more infantile, government dependant adults.

  7. Every Time they make a delivery, they can pitch themselves as on call personal assistants and cut out the middleman. Like an Uber driver that hands out business cards.

  8. If you have kids before a good job, your purpose is to serve as a warning to others. Better luck next reincarnation.

  9. It's always been true. Most people just suck at financial planning.

    There have always been many people that spend 110% of their income. It runs in families. Their parents were typically morons too.

    Ruskys are stirring up dissent. They have been shown to have spent their money/influence pretty evenly on right and left.

    They clearly expected Clinton to win. Why else would they have bought her off?

  11. I doubt there is enough traffic on this service to turn it into a travelling salesman problem.

    I further doubt the people working these gigs have the brains to work it as such, even where the traffic is high enough. That would be the software's job.

    The sites that gets to 'critical mass' and dispatches deliveries in a way that lets the delivery people make decent money will be the ultimate winners in this space. But that could just never happen.

  12. In CA the state government has an administration (CA GSA) that exists only to warehouse useless workers.

    They _can't_ fire them, the cheapest solution is to just transfer the air thieves to the GSA. It's a six story, full city block building just south of Broadway in Sacramento. Nothing gets done, but they are out of the way.

  13. Typically fixed with automation. Jobs that aren't worth minimum are butt simple. For example: Every (Carl's Jr/Hardee's) has a burger flipping conveyor grill.

    Worth is the intersection of supply and demand, labor is the same as any other commodity.

    Locally fast food workers/operators have priced themselves higher than local ethnic restaurants. I can get a good Thai lunch special for less than a burger fries and a soda. Sucks to be them.

  14. "...while on the clock for the state."

  15. 'Burn to book ratio'. Same as in 2000, duh.

    They're selling bagged dry pet food on the internet again.

    1% of projects have something genuinely 'new'. Most risk in projects is new staff and/or tools, not so much new techniques. There really isn't very much new under the sun. Those things do need to be put first and kept off critical path as much as possible.

    If the team doesn't understand the problem, stick a fork in them. They're hopeless. Need to build a throw away prototype to make the problem concrete, touch base with the users then revisit the analysis and plan.

    99% of 'new stuff' is kids reinventing things they aren't aware already exist. For example: the Javascript on the server ecosystem. They're working their way back through the 80s (e.g. running all DB access through one thread, to avoid needing locks/a real database).

    'Sleeping your way to the top' does not turn into 'rape victim' on discovery.

    He offered something of value for sex.

    If he got it, the women ARE whores. It's pretty simple. Co conspirators. Victims are actresses who didn't get the parts, not the hollywood whores who did.

    Back onpoint. Not all the victims are, some are co conspirators (aka whores) that are now trying to obscure where their success came from.
