Re: 9 ways Disney theme parks will be different when they reopen

pfreet — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 07:37:20 -0000

Just my opinion, but I don't think large gatherings, including theme parks, ball games, conventions, concerts will be allowed for a long time, potentially for the remainder of 2019. Interstate travel is also going to be an issue, does Florida want tens of thousands of out-of-state tourists descending on it this summer before we have better solutions for the visus?

Re: Delta Overhauls Boarding Process — Here’s What You Need to Know

A big change is moving Platinum and Gold medallions to board after Comfort+. I prefer exit rows, seems this won't really affect a PM/GM sitting in an exit row from finding that all important overhead space. .

I'd hate to see the end of the 767. If you're forced to travel in the back, the 2-3-2 is such a great layout.

Your results were completely unfair to Delta. You just happened to pick a time to fly where Delta had little award availability and you ding Delta for that. Shame on you.

Re: How the Hotel Industry Could Change After Las Vegas Shooting

People have been trying to and often successfully blowing up airplanes for decades, the security makes sense. One guy, in one hotel in the US, one time is not reason to add in draconian hotel security. Again your comparison between airline security and hotel security is not valid.

No a fair comparison, we had security for decades before 9/11 and for good reason.

This was a black awn event. I don't think it makes sense to add any significant new measures to protect against something that had never happened before and might never happen again.

When adults lie with the intent to harm it is called libel. And it is a serious issue. We can't let it slide just because it is kids. They are simply not mature enough to stop themselves. Learning their boundaries is part of growing up. But when we introduce technology that takes playground conversations and blasts them throughout the school, we have a serious problem. And we are doing harm.

Log the IP and/or mac address of who is making the comments. And when egregious, out them. If they know this is possible, they hopefully will be smart enough to control what they say. If not, maybe they can learn from consequences.

Re: Coinbase

But this is the rub. If Bitcoin is not stable, it can't be used as a currency. Consumers will have to do math every time they want to buy something to translate it to a stable value they understand.

To be accurate, Bitcoin's rise is actually deflationary, right? It takes fewer and fewer Bitcoin to buy the same goods.

Re: Why Do You Want To Connect? | Force of Good: a blog by Lance Weatherby

pfreet — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 16:32:18 -0000

LinkedIn suggests people to connect to. Some of them are good suggestions and if you click on the "connect" link provided, LinkedIn immediately and automatically sends out the default message, and does not allow you to edit it. This is why you get the requests with default messages, not because the person is lazy. This another example of the terribleness that is LinkedIn.

I also decline every invitation unless I know the person well. If I have to think "who is that?", then it is an immediate "no".

The first cash registers were marketed as a solution to the problem of employee theft. They still fill that role. Therefore I'm skeptical about this being widely adopted in retail: "they will use wireless technology to pay from wherever they are in a store."

Metro Atlanta has 5 Million people living in the suburbs and only 500,000 in the City of Atlanta. Seems the smart thing to do.
