All due to unmatched wisdom.

Is Orchard specific to restaurant solutions or would it work in any retail situation? How does it handle multiple stores in multiple states with different tax rates and pricing?

Fox News? No thanks.

You say you "worked in restaurants for years". If a customer stiffed you on a tip would that encourage YOU to give them better service next time they come in?

If he sends me a bitcoin from one of Satoshi's wallets I'll believe him. 10 bitcoins and I'll believe him even more.

If he wanted to prove that he was Satoshi, couldn't he just move some of the BTC out of one of Satoshi's wallets? That would be proof enough for me.

Pay higher salaries?

edmanet | 7 years ago | on: Amazon training videos coach Whole Foods staff on how to discourage unions

Yeah. Pretty much all major corporations that employ un-skilled labor force their employees to watch anti-union training videos. Unions are bad for the stockholders.

edmanet | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: I earn 14K post-tax in a baltic country, worth moving to Bay Area?

There are other tech hubs you should look into:

Seattle, Washington

Boston, Massachusetts

Austin, Texas

Atlanta, Georgia

Raleigh, North Carolina

Denver, Colorado

Boca Raton, Florida

Don't limit yourself to the Bay Area.

Seems to be a lot of horse dung involved.

edmanet | 7 years ago | on: Thermanator Attack Steals Passwords by Reading Thermal Residue on Keyboards

True story: A friend who was a heavy smoker asked me to fix his computer. I went to his house and saw the beige desktop and CRT were stained tobacco brown from second hand smoke. After fixing his "screen's all blurry" problem with some Windex I was ready to go in and see what kind of spyware and viruses he had managed to install on the machine.

I was about to ask for his password when I noticed the only spots not covered in ashes on his keyboard were the W, S, C, B, U, N, and I keys. Knowing he was a die hard Chicago Cubs fan it took me one try to guess the password: cubswin.

It was a nasty job but he was a good friend so I got his machine all straightened out for him without judgement.

The things I do for beer...

Damn. The "bad" words have been sanitized. Seeing the programmers' frustrations as they appear in the comments enhances the experience when viewing old code like this.

A Nobel Peace Prize for trying to bully a country into submission? I'm sure that's what Alfred Nobel intended.
