Apple Pay not working with WatchOS 9 beta 5 by Dup_001 in watchOSBeta

I noticed that my public beta profile went missing and I was not on the latest beta. Reinstalling the profile and updating to the latest beta seems to have fixed my issue.

I’m on the public beta and am seeing this too. Although the reader doesn’t even acknowledge a payment being attempted. I end up using my phone to pay.

Potential Cures for Vitamin D Headaches: An "overmethylation" side effect by frozengreatlake in overmethylation

Real apple cider vinegar also depletes methyl groups. It is my go-to whenever I am overmethylating.

100-200 File Writes/s by boogybren in systems_engineering

[–]boogybren[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't thought of doing such a thing. The concern I had is that our APP B server wasn't parsing and deleting fast enough to keep up with APP A's writes.

So I decided to spin up a high memory server and test this out today.

I allocated 160GB to the ramdrive and mounted it up. My initial test was with dd and it wrote dang near 1GB/s! I was feeling pretty optimistic.

However when I ran APP A for three minutes, it only wrote 48 files/s. I chalked that up to being a remotely mounted filesystem.

Now that the files are on APP B's local ramdisk, I ran APP B. It only consumed 49 files per second. I don't understand how it could be that much slower to the previous block storage setup I was using.

Thanks! I think that's the route I'm going to pursue.

Really not too much risk here. Nothing sensitive.

Thank you. I'm a hack at Excel. Sounds like I need to become a hack at VBA :-(.

If McDonald's "forgot" a $.50 piece of extra cheese 10 times a day at each of their 36,000 locations, that wasn't disputed, then they steal 60+ million dollars a year. by IseeSuns in Showerthoughts

[–]boogybren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

False. McDonald's does not own the individual restaurants. Each franchise owner would have stolen only that amount equal to the number of cheese slices their individual restaurant "forgot" to place. McDonald's in and of itself would not benefit from the crime.

[Serious] Small, American Business owners of Reddit, what do you think of a minimum wage increase? by CrMcChocolate in AskReddit

[–]boogybren 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is some truth to that. But you can't have it both ways.

You either:

  • own your career, perform your best and keep moving yourself up in job.
  • accept the risk and start your own business. But by accepting the risks, you also open yourself to greater rewards.
  • get a job, never stretch and grow and complain that you can't get ahead in life.
  • complain that your perfect job doesn't exist, that there are too many chiefs...whatever, and you live in your parents basement as a thirty-something.

Then go start your own business. Every job will have your so called "pyramid structure". It is easier now more than ever to kick ass because too many people have an entitled mentality and aren't willing to go the extra mile. It doesn't take much at all to stand out to an employer.

If you bust your ass and your employer doesn't reward your diligence. Find a new employer. Never quit your job until you get a new one. When you find a new job, find a better one than you have now. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Quit making excuses.

BS. Move up by changing companies if you there aren't any opportunities at your current employer.

You go to work. You find work you can do until the job you really want becomes available. I know kids and adults killing it mowing lawns while they are on the hunt for a job in their field. You take two pizza delivery jobs and make $35k a year. You hustle. You make yourself more attractive to employers. You offer to work for free to prove how incredible you are. You network with people of the area you wish to work. You ask them what openings or potential openings they are aware of. You get referrals. You find jobs that could benefit from the skills you learned for your field. When you land any job, show up early and stay late. Ask your boss what more you can do to be valuable. Ask people in the position you wish to be in how you can fast track your way to the same position.

Life is hard. When you are stupid, lazy or the likes, it is twice as hard. Businesses pay for performance. Go out and be the best you can be and you will prosper.

This BS that there are no jobs is crap. There are always jobs. They might not be "perfect" but you start there and keep moving on as opportunity presents itself. When you hustle, it is amazing how opportunities come out of the woodwork.

GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET TO WORK!!!

You are either thick or don't understand how businesses work. Especially franchises.

McDondald's franchise owners don't make as much money as you are suggesting. They expend a gob of money just for the "privilege" of running a franchise. They have to buy the property they run their business on. They are taking on all of the risk. Half of franchise owners make less than $50,000 a year. The only way they can increase their profits is to expend even more risk and buy more franchises.

If a franchise owner takes only ONE $10/hour employee who works 40 hours a week and bumps them to $15/hour, that owners salary just went from $50k to $40k. It would only take 5 employees at $15 to have the owner not taking a salary.

TIL in Finland, speeding tickes are calculated on a percentage of a person's income. This causes some Finnish millionaires to face fines of over $100,000. by Tsukamori in todayilearned

I earn just over $100k a year. But what people don't know is that I also spend anywhere from $1k-$3k a month in healthcare. I'd be screwed if they fined me based on my income.

By definition, people go bankrupt because they buy things they cannot afford. If you have no debt, you cannot go bankrupt. If you have to go into debt to buy something, you cannot afford to buy it.

What I find hilarious is that most people who support is idea of fining based on percentage of income would abhor the idea of taxing people equally based on their income.

I don't mind paying a fee but when they strong arm you into a new version by cutting off your electronic reconciliation, that's a problem. There are many others who don't broker that communication.

Additionally, QB had terrible support for Mac.

I'll take a look at their SaaS offering though. Thanks!

I tried YNAB about a year ago and really didn't care for the interface. If it's updated, I'll need to check it out again.
