  5. Re:Business majors on Fire Destroys Iron Mountain Data Warehouse, Argentina's Bank Records Lost · · Score: 1

    Management professionals, that know nothing about the actual business, are the ruin of an thriving business. They generally run it into the ground and have no clue why.

    I was watching a 'Kitchen Nightmares' (unexpectedly good show BTW) where an MBA had bought a restaurant 5 years before, and it was failing...

    She had literally never so much as looked into the fridge in the kitchen over those 5 years, she also was a vegetarian, and so never tasted half the menu.

  12. Re:Genius on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 2

    Back when PayPal was a new thing I thought it seemed cool, and I had gotten a small windfall of money, I sent some unsolicited 'tips' to a few of the early webcomics that I enjoyed.

    In response, a couple of them thanked me on their front page, and posted an address if anyone else wanted to donate.

    Other webcomics soon copied (or thought of independently) and donate buttons quickly proliferated.

    That was also the last thing I used PayPay for, as they quickly turned evil.

    Bitcoin, at least, isn't run by a corporation, and has no say in transactions (like ordering antique violins destroyed)

    Or a doctor could have the opposite view, if you're a selfish organ-hoarder, maybe he'll just let you rot.
