Tl;dr: lots managers or head chefs will bring other folks because the environment will be more predictable or enjoyable, and the restaurateur is usually as or more invested in long-term strategy as/than then lead staff.

The dining industry isn't so deep and complex. For the restaurant manager / head chef / lead chef, it's generally "how much autonomy do I get with dining room design, menu design, hiring," "what's the food cost I need to beat," and/or "what's the concept (and can I play with it)?"

If the right level of autonomy/restaurateur participation is there and they can get behind the theme/concept of the restaurant, the chef/manager takes the job. Then they get to work building a menu they like and training the staff for the experience they want.

WRT bringing a team with them, as high-stress a job as running a kitchen/restaurant can be, knowing already you work well with someone is worth its weight in gold.

Restaurateurs also are not, generally, blowing by and making whimsical changes. The margins in a restaurant, after food cost, salaries, fixed costs, are usually not super high, so if they have money in it they're thinking a lot about how to maximize the ability for that restaurant to grow its business (or increase margins).

Luckily or unluckily, there's not a ton of strings to pull to manipulate the restaurant's profit:

- The rent will be the rent. Changing locations is a huge sunk cost in both capital and customers, since existing ones won't know where you've moved to (or be able to walk down the street to get to you) and new ones won't know yet why they should stop in.

- Salaries will have a floor for the area your restaurant is in. You can pay more, but in any case once you get to minimum wage, yeah.

The main way to modulate the profit point is to play with costs on the ingredients. You see pretty quick that if you cut ingredient quality by too much, you have to start dropping price points because people won't overpay by too much for crappy food. And some venues or concepts won't support breaking out of the average price for prepared food in a region, i.e. you've gotta be doing special to charge $20 for a cheeseburger.

So, you look at how cheap you can keep ingredients for the quality you want on the other end, And how well you can build the dining experience to resonate with the target customer so they fall in love with your restaurant and keep showing up.

The restaurateur is thinking about that a lot, as much if not more than the on-the-ground leadership he/she hired.
Looks like we have a low tolerance for populist nationalist rhetoric.

Frankly, as a German I'm disgusted by some of the "dissenting" comments. We've already been through this nationalist crap before and we're not going to let the rest of Europe repeat our own mistakes.

I don't think they're arguing against automation, just that completely driverless vehicles won't be the optimum path. I think there will be some applications for which fully driverless vehicles will be fine, such as trucks transporting goods between loading bays and taxis collecting and dropping off at street addresses, and many others where some level of driver control will be useful.

Take their example of submarines. Fully autonomous submarines are completely possible, but what they point out is that some level of human control is more useful. They don't say why, but my guess is that this is because if the sub comes across something unusual that merits further investigation, humans are better at making that judgement call than a robot would. The same principle applies to the Mars rovers. But it also applies to plenty of routine uses of vehicles. Most of the time I'm driving from my house to a car park or street parking space and such journeys are probably completely automatable. But sometimes I arrive at e.g. a country fair and the parking is in a field and I know I want to park over there in a place which will soon be shaded by that tree, and not in a different place where it looks a bit muddy. At times like that I would want much more direct control over the vehicle and an automated system would not be able to make such decisions for me.

So while the article does a poor job saying so, I think the point is that 100% full driverless automation isn't the best answer in every situation. It might be a fine solution for many purposes, but not all. They're arguing against a (perhaps imagined and possibly straw man) maximalist automation position such as 'in 20 years time no cars will have manual controls'.

I'm not suggesting it shouldn't have changed, but to say we had much insight into the changes is disingenuous.
Mattermost – OSS Slack alternative

The most likely acquirers would be Visa, Amex, Mastercard and PayPal (which bought Braintree). The transaction fees would significantly decrease because many transactions would stay inside the network. Plus, that would kill a challenger. Though I'm not sure it's better to buy them now or after they IPO. Maybe they're hoping for the market to lower the price.
It is not about Islam. It is about taking religion too seriously. The guys that read Torah all days (or the bible) are worrying too.

This is a silly article with an alarmist title. They look at a list of sites she likes on Facebook, then they phish her from one of them. Then she lets them into her house where they look for post-it notes with passwords on them. For a grand finale, they open her garage door. I guess the takeaway here is don't let people that identify themselves as "hackers" through your door and into your home office if you have passwords written on post-its, but I am fairly certain this is a rare occurrence.
Phishing is hacking. It's social engineering.

They didn't 'hire a phishing service'. They used a website.

In the US, fried chicken has very specific associations - it's a classic marker of African-American ethnic food. So it might signify "up-and-coming", but for a very different reason, reflecting racial and ethnic displacement that comes with gentrification in historically-black neighborhoods.
The randomness of luck only comes into play when you've done everything else right, it's one huge 'AND' gate with luck as one of the factors. If you mess up on one of the others you're still dead no matter how lucky you were.

So by improving the rest of the gate functions the importance of the luck element goes up because it may be at some point the only item between you and success and then if it swings your way you're suddenly doing very well.

> That being said: OTA update is REALLY FUCKING SCARY for cars. What if someone puts the wrong update in the queue accidentally? (2)

OTA update is no more or less scary than any other form of software update, or in fact any other form of mechanical update.

Software engineers are generally used to the level of rigour that goes on with their software. If you're a web devloper shipping a commerce application there's an appropriate level of testing and process, because there's only a certian level of reliability you need to hit, and spending more money on that would slow down your development. The way you go about delivering software for medical devices for instance (which we do), is a completely different process with a whole different level of rigour, testing and documentation. Because that's appropriate in that environment.

There's a whole lot more documentation and thought that goes into the beam that stops the top of your house from falling down, than goes into the beam that stops your garden shed from falling down. It's no different than software.
Actually, hiding behind the letter of the law when your actions are horribly antisocial is creepy.
The trouble is really with poor or improper application of responsive features to desktop-first sites and applications. The more people try to build responsive sites, the more they'll get it wrong and introduce all sorts of experience errors that can't easily be circumvented on your mobile device.

Same thing happened through the development of desktop browsing though, and it's more or less gotten better (weird fixed scroll elements in nested tables isn't a thing anymore, mostly).

Enough frameworks and abstractions and hosted services will show up and it'll get better. But, it's going to be a problem (if not a growing one) for a while still. Or, convert-to-Reader mode on mobile browsers will get a ton better and people will just get used to wiping out all the uniqueness of the sites they're browsing.

And, as a browser I still want to be able to zoom in on the 70% column the site has or override the weird 10pt font they thought looked modern in order to read it.

Unless the author of the blog can prove that he is a central source of information for all these sites, there is no doubt that he is blatantly plagiarizing.

This is fantastic. I'm psyched, not just because of the cool technology, but also because it will finally spur the public to demand more frequent and accurate road striping.

Massachusetts has terrible road striping; it seems as though they get around to it about every four or five years, waiting until the lanes and ramp markings are beyond dangerous. This has been irritating me for years. And then they seem to use some kind of cheap paint that wears off quickly. Public works job security, I suppose.

But automated lane navigation will require clear markings. Hundreds of thousands of deaths later, we just might finally get a safer road system. Pathetic, but better late than never, I guess.

That's why web is/was better for many things, especially when you could increate fonts only (unfortunately, many sites have bad css that breaks this).
The analogy breaks right at the start, start-ups are not 'fatal' in the same sense that rock-climbing is fatal. So the GP is right, the race really would be won by those willing to cut corners and sacrifice safety and procedure even though statistically quite a few of those would end up 'dead' for those exact same reasons with possible fall-out for their end-users as well (hacked, data loss and so on).

The strategy widens the bell curve and lowers it, whereas the rock-climbers try very hard to narrow it to where there are no outliers and everybody makes it to safety.

Imagine a strategy where every start-up would survive in the long term, there would be very few outliers in such a situation and that's why start-ups that are comfortable with some risks at the expense of safety but a huge increase in productivity will be more likely to be amongst the winners than those that play it safe all the time.

I don't think this is a huge problem anyway because very few people doing start-ups are risk averse.

By that logic, "Dutch courage" rules most of us out from that sort of courage.

It very much depends on the situation. In an engineering environment (industrial control, regular applications, aerospace and so on) slower really is faster. But in a SAAS prototyping race with a whole bunch of like-minded characters those who cut corners may very well win the race. This is frustrating to those of us (including me!) who would rather do a proper job but the 'cowboys' seem to be both getting the funding and seem to be statistically doing better at success in the longer term. Of course plenty of the cowboys die with self inflicted bullet holes but the press does not seem to care and neither do investors. It's there on every level from 'go big or go home' to 'don't be scared to break stuff' to 'oh, we went bust, sorry customers, we'll try better next time'.

>That's not really outsourcing. That's shifting from capital expenses to operating expenses

The "capital (depreciation) vs operating" is only talking about hardware. Having in-house IT employees to install new servers, run new cabling, change tapes for backups, etc, is not a capital expense. Migrating to AWS can shift the FTEs from XYZ company's payroll to Amazon's payroll. Presumably, Amazon's engineers can do IT admin operations in a more cost-efficient manner. That's "outsourcing."

Yes, there would still be in-house employees as "AWS admins" but overall, there should be a net-reduction of FTEs doing commodity-IT grunt work.
Zebra vs. zebra-patterned sofa is a kind of problem designed to be hard for image processing algorithms. From the practical point of view however, you just have to require that policemen / construction workers wear specific patterns on the uniforms or even have special IR-reflective buttons/threads. That would solve like 95% of cases, and by the time self-driving cars become the norm, we'll have figured out at least some specific algorithms for that very purpose that would work in general case.
In a nutshell this is the conflict of interest between founders and investors, even though quite a few founders would rather have a 1:10 chance of a huge success than a 1:2 chance of a medium one.

I think sola fide is the concept I ham-fistedly attempted to express with the opposition to the business side of the Catholic church, insofar as it extended to mortals (the Pope included) declaring the sins of and absolving the sins of the people and their dead relatives, yeah? It seemed to all draw from points 10-20ish in the declaration.

And on the transubstantiation vs, dual-state can we call it, of the eucharist... my denomination considered it all symbolic, so I'd always really considered them the same thing (by which I mean, saying "it's just his body" vs "it's both his body and bread" were still "it's his body).

I'm not sure how foundational that distinction was when the schism occurred. Do you know by chance?
