Less than 20% of 's revenue comes from passenger fares. Imagine how much they'd save if they didn't have to deal with fare collection. Public transportation should be free.

A piece of advise that I often see missing in software process conversations is the need of the development team to become knowledgeable on the problem domain. The quality of the communication between devs and domain experts increases exponentially when we understand each other.

Why do new COVID variants keep appearing?
Because the virus changes as it spreads.
Why does the virus spread?
Because people aren't wearing masks and aren't getting vaccinated.
How can we stop the virus from mutating into more deadly variants?
Wear a mask. Get vaccinated.

Doctors of Twitter, please tell me your worst pre-auth story. The more ridiculous, shameful, or petty the better. Will share at some international lectures I'm giving on American healthcare.

There's an actual rodent, a chipmunk, dancing around the feet of the passengers at the BOS lounge. Don't know why, there's very little food... , I sure hope you'll reopen your clubhouse soon. Miss you!

In order for capitalism to work, you need a permanent underclass of who people work shitty jobs for no or little pay and live shorter, shitty lives, and you need them to pop out babies—babies you've forced them to create and birth—trapped in the same circumstance.
Like slavery.

I remain convinced that the key to leadership is assembling people who want to do awesome stuff, giving them the resources and support to do that awesome stuff, and then giving them all of the credit for having done that awesome stuff.

I wonder why our local news stations are giving so much air time to the loudmouth anti-mask parents, and so little to the actual people who have opinions in our state. "Almost 80% of parents support students wearing masks at school." hassenfeld.bryant.edu/wp-content/upl

Time for your annual reminder that, according to A Christmas Carol, Bob Cratchit makes 15 shillings a week. Adjusted for inflation, that's $530.27/wk, $27,574/yr, or $13.50/hr.
Most Americans on minimum wage earn less than a Dickensian allegory for destitution.

I bristle when I hear about new DH projects, and the technology stack is the lede. IMHO that should be boring enough that it is relegated to paragraph 3 or 4.

It turns out I am angry enough about this article I need to switch from phone to laptop! Let's dissect this quote, “They tired of care-taking, even though this involved little more than continuing to host the project files on a server.” Firstly... 1/ twitter.com/pmhswe/status/…
