Where did my meat go? a common question butchers get when a customer is surprised at the retail cut weights compared to the live animal weight. I made a tool you can share with your customers to manage these expectations. Happy to hear your feedback.

many small meat farms struggle to find a partner to turn their animals into retail cuts. I grabbed a list from USDA that's poorly presented and added a better interface to search the list. Thanks for your feedback in advance.

it looks decent, but there's no search. Do you expect me to scroll through 10 pages to find something of interest?

this is solved so simply. Find the 90th percentile pay for the position, set that as the minimum for H-1b.

my interest in animals has waned as I've aged.

I believe this is because I didn't know how to win another thing's affection. A dog just gives it to you. Unconditionally.

This. Market yourself or work for someone that does.

you'd be surprised how far 600/month goes in south america

public education's primary goal is daycare. That is not essential.

I switched from Linux to wsl for a while. I'm back to Ubuntu after unexplained blue screens. Ubuntu running fine.

As a result of china's partial capitalism adoption: https://ourworldindata.org/exports/size-poverty-gap-world_v2...

Capitalism didn't give people an appetite for bat.

trial & error >> book knowledge on this topic, IMO. Get your reps in: - start a business - teach a live online coding course

this is where views/rating help out.

Farming doesn't strike me as high margin. This increase in costs could send many farmers out of business. That will push up food prices.

This is not a true representation of the population served ads. Are you confident the small benefit most receive is worth throwing out to avoid outliers like this?

yes, great point. But, the bill isn't due til you're ~65+. It takes patience to think "unhealthy eating is more expensive than it appears because present-value for old-age healthcare costs aren't included".

If there was a cost to eating terrible, we would have less to lose from this virus.

It will give his business a better shot of surviving. This also means a better shot to continue paying current employees

If I'm an 80 year old with a heart transplant, I'm happy they're doing this!

So are you suggesting:

- I create a toilet paper cartel with all my buddies

- we hit surrounding area grocery stores with surgical TP buying

- Hoard til prices rise

- dump on muppet consumers

- profit??

this is ridiculous

In other words, if a banana costs $1 and I buy it, its value to me is at least $1

seems like a decent approach. Care expounding?

Is the alternative better?

If the retiree didn't get a low-paying job (Uber driver etc.), his neighbors would be forced to care for him through social welfare taxes. With a job, he supports himself. All the resources freed up can be put to more productive use.

Are you so sure you wouldn't act the same in his shoes? We're all human.

Optimal strategy seems to be work at FAANG while iterating on side projects until something sticks.

Does a child know grammar and vocabulary? Understanding and producing the sounds of a language seem to be the elementary units.

A large portion of routes are low demand and have few passengers. Does an empty bus reduce congestion?

I'm not sure what percentage of routes are like this, but I assume it's non-trivial because predicting demand is a tough problem.

Obviously there's a trade off between unemployed hair dressers and users, who save money.

In dollar terms, I don't think it's fair to assume harm to hairdressers is greater than benefit to users, which, I suspect, far outweighs cost to hairdressers.
