There is a very good reason not to pay for blood, it helps ensure a more disease-free blood supply by disincentivizing people who might lie about their medical history to obtain money.

If you expect to get value from your $, never buy the bleeding edge product. Also, there's no compelling reason to buy this product...at all. You can fully expect Apple to be dropping the price soon.

My thought exactly. I'd like to know if they isolated their results for urban vs. rural. IMO, cities are depressing...too many/much people, traffic, crime, etc.

Anyone who thinks employees who "work from home" don't goof off is delusional. That said, any manager who can't monitor the employees work with goals/milestones shouldn't be in management. Give your employees a task, and deadline, if they're on or ahead of target, who gives a shit if they're goofing off. If not, then you can bitch about it, and hold them accountable.

FWIW, before retiring several years ago, I'd been on both sides of that equation since the early 90s.

Learn to fucking check before speaking out of your ass.

The first computer I used was in HS around '73. We had three teletypes with acoustic modems to allow us to connect to the local community college...did a year of BASIC on those.

In our electronics club (I was the club VP for a couple yrs), we built a Altair 8800 kit.

When I graduated HS, my parents got me a TI-SR56, 99 step programmable calculator. I still have it.

I worked on many computers for the next several years as a USAF technician, but didn't get my own until buying on e of the first 128k Macs. Had that for a while and upgraded to a 512ke, which I still have.

Our HS electronics club purchased one of these in kit form in the early 70s, and I got the task of soldering chips on one of the boards. Fun times.

@773000g rings a bell. I worked on a bunch of those in the early 80s, and did my Pascal homework on them.

And yet some did okay...Amazon. For many, it was just the whole Information Superhighway hype/Internet Bubble. But, businesses have been growing and going bankrupt long before that, and at about the same rate...nothing new there.

You clearly have no fucking clue.

Slashdot has become adept at misleading headlines/clickbait. This is the kind of BS headline that makes me come back less frequently.

This is like asking your flight attendant about jet propulsion.

Which explains why people come from all over the globe to obtain them, right?

Extremely few people can not afford to move. It doesn't cost much to rent a truck, or just throw all your shit in the back of a van. Poor people have migrated for eons.

How well does that work for people who inherited money, won the lottery, or otherwise have money that's not income?
