| Topic | What is it with life insurance companies and hiring? |
| DevsBro 12/27/19 12:45:05 PM #1 | Dear DevsBro, I saw your resume online and I wanted to bring you in for an interview. Not gonna say for what position. I see that you are qualified for stuff that has no relationship whatsoever to selling insurance but I thought I'd waste your time anyway. Oh, did I let it slip that this is a sales job? Forget I mentioned that. Sincerely, Ultra Life Insurance Co LLC INC EOE TMI WTF Arcade Edition --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

| Topic | Largest quantifiable number? |
| DevsBro 12/26/19 9:28:08 PM #4 | Suppose there is a largest quantifier number. In the same way that " the number of degrees on a circle" defines 360, "the largest quantifiable number" would then define this number. In which case you can quantify a greater number by saying "the largest quantifiable number plus one." Therefore, does not exist. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

| Topic | "People don't deserve to make 15+ an hour" |
| DevsBro 12/26/19 1:26:20 PM #52 | I honestly kind of like a proposal I heard a few years ago about imposing a limit on how large the difference can be between the best and worst paid employee. It's not perfect, but after thinking about it a little bit, it sounds better than the traditional minimum wage solution. Now the cap would still be something like 100 times but you could find an hourly equivalent by dividing by 2000 (even though many salaried employees work a lot more than that) but it means that if the CEO is making $20M, the janitor is making $100/hr. Or more realistically, the janitor is making $20/hr and the CEO is making $4M, since you know, there are a lot more janitors in the company than CEOs. Of course, then you would see a lot of companies contract out their unskilled labor, but even that has a nice silver lining since contract labor generally comes at a premium. Now better janitors can compete for better wages. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

| DevsBro 12/26/19 12:57:58 PM #42 | bknight posted... If the minimum wage was around $1/hour, all the manufacturing job would come back to the USA. It's so simple, China has such a strong workforce because they pay very little, therefore the cost to produce is almost just material, can't believe no one has caught on to this, we should really lower the minimum wage if we want a booming economy, simple supply and demand.Right and if it were $1000/hour everyone working would be rich very quickly. Hopefully everyone knows the sweet spot is somewhere in between. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |

| DevsBro 12/26/19 12:55:43 PM #10 | It's like saying F-Zero is the Dark Souls of the racing genre. They're obviously not the same thing, and only in some ways does the comparison even apply. In particular, the applicable part is the relationship. You're not supposed to look at anything as the creator or sustainer, or worship anything other than God. Pretty simple really. --- 53 LIII 0b110101 p16 0x35 |
