    @mindcrash Thanks! I'm torn though, as it sounds like they'll keep running the services.

    @thegaw They are at least up front about not being able to make it work financially. That's usually not even mentioned.

    What's amazing is the commentators have seen the clips already but still are doing dismal commentary. We are so bad at every aspect of this.

    @danhon Forgive me, but that thought crossed my mind too. When you have a taskrabbit every problem looks like a [?].

    @danhon Excessive queues are a way to shift a burden (salaries, space) onto the consumer (in terms of time).

    @danhon You could get rid of lines very easily, so long as you don’t mind paying for staff to be idle when things quieten down.

  • philgyford’s avatar

    @danhon The bit that stands out most for me is lines… because that’s usually due to only hiring enough staff for quiet periods.

    @blech Yes. And, often, not-suit jackets (e.g., sports coats).

    @mattsheret Are you going to this then? princecharlescinema.com/events/events.…

    @antimega A conference that lures people in with promises of shiny tech speakers, then locks doors and beats them with ethics and politics.

    The technology *doesn’t matter*. It’s who controls the technology and who uses the technology that’s important.
