Comment Works for me (Score 2) 316

I much prefer self-checkout. I have had some minor issues but overall I like not interacting with cashiers who often make the same mistakes I might. The occasional void/interaction with staff is not a show stopper for me.

Comment Depends on who is leaving (Score 1) 222

A shrinking population could be a good thing depending on who is leaving. An exodus of wealth is a problem, which might well explain the decline but an educated immigrant influx is a good thing even if the result is a net loss. I donâ(TM)t live there and do not have insight into specifics but this sounds like click bait to me.

Comment Re: More history (Score 2) 81

Similar history for me. We ran SunOS 3 diskless nodes (with YP no less) on those awesome pizza boxes for years. They replaced wyse terminals, which were already great for programmers, but X Windows functionality took productivity to a new level. Our disagreements were SunOS vs SYSV but I digress. Thanks for the memories.

Comment Will be sorted over time (Score 2) 378

The only way this will be sorted out will be to wait and see how these students perform during their lifetime. The fact that a government agency doesn't have oversight is not a reason to discount all home schooling. Might be a epic failure, a huge success or just a personal choice leading to an average outcome.
