This just seems like a good idea independent of labour costs.

We don't need a planet of 16 billion with so many workers performing simple tasks that could easily be removed with improved processes like at this restaurant.

A planet of 2 billion with cheap land and cheap food for a happy, intelligent, beautiful and productive human workforce and lots of natural habitat for flora and fauna would be a better place. Even if we have to find our own table at a restaurant.
Facilitating tax evasion is one consideration (although trust me, delivery people fall into a very low tax bracket anyway...) But another consideration is the number of employers who try to keep tips for themselves. It's hard to know which businesses do this, so it's safer to just tip with cash.

Pretty much. A good manager is easy to spot by the how predictably their freight trains crash (if its not above company norms or team standards prior to their tenure). A bad manager is easy to spot, because you can see the disaster around them. But a 2x manager is like a blackhole - there's nothing to observe directly, and you can only spot one if you're carefully observing everything around it. But if a really good manager disappears and is replaced by just a good manager, you'll slowly see that blackhole-like influence disappear and their team metrics revert to company norms.
Then you're not going to 'craft' establishments.

If I were in charge of a country subject to new tariffs, I would consider playing it differently. Rather than applying punitive tariffs back, I would consider trying to get US manufacturers that are affected to the tariffs to move to my country and export finished products to the US. After all, the nonsensical structure of Trump’s tariffs may be more harmful to the US than to anyone else.

"Management" is not a unified collective. Your immediate manager has a poor perception, yes, but other managers probably has no opinion at all.

'George Orwell' is a fictional character. Real name: 'Eric Blair' who went to Church every Sunday, though I think he was kind of an Atheist. Not the same dude as Orwell. He had complicated views, and was not a 'socialist' in the more popular sense. Remember in 1984 that the 'bad guys' ideology is 'IngSoc', i.e. 'English Socialism'. So not exactly a big Social Dem supporter of the era.
Same. Once I have too many I drag a couple of them to the left, then do a right-click followed by "close all tabs to the right". I'm not saying I'm doing things the best way but I don't understand how having 100s of tabs open is productive. Seems like an indication you're trying to do too much at the same time to me.

My closest friend at work and I take basically polar opposite philosophies when it comes to coding style. We thoroughly enjoy the debates that result.

> "This doesn't debunk anything. The thesis was that people would unquestioningly obey "an authority figure".

It debunks precisely that. The phenomena of obeying authoritiy figures is not ideologically neutral as the popular narrative suggests. Rather people make a decision about whether or not to comply with the authority figure based on whether or not their personal ideology aligns with the goals and motivations of that authority figure. In other words, it's not unquestioning obedience. People question the circumstance, question the motivation of the authority figure, and then make a decision about whether or not they will comply.

To put a finer point on it, people who follow orders from Nazis do so because they are themselves Nazis. People who follow orders from scientists do so because they believe in science. Demonstrating that x% of the general population near [university] during [year] follow the orders of scientists does not demonstrate that x% of that same population would follow orders from Nazis. This is contrary to the popular Milgram narrative that was sold to the public.
It needs to become fashionable to basically carry lots of reusable stuff with you. We “sort of” have this for coffee containers and shopping bags but it would be good if people could also always carry a metal fork, plate, cup, and even a reusable napkin at all times.

It’s one of those things that would remain weird if only a few people did it but wouldn’t be weird if most people did.

It would also require eating establishments to be set up for reuse, e.g. washing stations for people to clean off their stuff.

This article isn't talking about the market for college students. It's talking about what would be an "average" person almost anywhere other than SF.

Living wages aren't being paid because the cost of living has risen to the point where the wage once paid is no longer livable. This means that restaurants must either increase prices or cut employees, which when taken in aggregate further increases the cost of living and lowers the average income.

Yes, "restaurants" as a category survive, but the low end gets devastated. Many of these may have been around for a long time and some of them may have been a major part of the local community or have been local favorites.

If you don't have a problem with that, then that's fine, but hopefully you understand why others might.
May be putting myself out there, but I've been on 2, both received after a year of working at respective companies, and both "passed."

Both teams I was on did scrum, with point values that denoted how much time a given task should take. Under both PIP's I had to finish a full X week's amount of work, with the end of each sprint being a hard deadline.

There were regular, sometimes bi-weekly meetings to see that I was on the right track, that were either performed by the managers themselves or someone from HR.

One lead to me quitting 4 months after, and one actually lead me to having a stronger connection to my manager / team. I'd say it's sort of a wake up call saying "Are you really committed to this project/team/company?"

Souvla is a bad example. They have like 3 kinds of wrap (or salad, if you prefer no grains) and frozen yogurt. It's basically SF's version of Chipotle, or a Greek themed taqueria. It's quick-casual comfort food, and as in both those examples, counter service. There are countless examples of quick casual, counter service restaurants serving medium quality food all over the country (including The Grove, which has been a staple of SF for 20 years).

If you were ordering $25 ravioli plates at the counter, that would be a different story. Or, they could focus on restaurants that have moved to counter service as they've expanded (like Hawker Faire, or apparently Dosa). But to spend most of the article making a big deal about Souvla being counter service makes it a misleading waste of time.

Starbucks isn't taking anything; they are receiving from people who give willingly. If you choose to give them your money, you've got nobody but yourself to blame. In the case of tip jars at counters you can't even blame social pressure, participating in such a scheme is completely voluntary and most people do not.
To be fair, it seems like your organization's solution was to make it very difficult to do so, which is kind of a non-solution (aside from trnctng chars, which is a practice even a small ad tech startup that I was at did).

Admittedly it is a better practice than continuing to stuff you cookie and direct users to a strange page once in a while.
"Relatively few people go from PIP back to a valued, productive employee."

I hear this often, but as a counterpoint, the last time i looked, at the companies i've worked, the PIP success rate was closer to 50%.

(and those that succeeded did not have meaningfully higher attrition rates, etc)

Like anything, i guess it depends on your company's real underlying goal.
IE if you really are trying to get people to perform better vs just trying to make a paper trail to get rid of them.

> Going to the cloud is one of those places where they say cost but what they really mean is <networking | servers | power | etc> are _hard_.

But I (and the GP) addressed that. It just isn't hard.

Your earlier comment is closer to the truth:

> political and cognitive effort of doing it themselves

With "traditional" industries, it seems the problem is entirely political, and it actually is about cost, because cloud isn't competing against the commodity gear we've been talking about here. Cloud is competing against "enterprise" hardware, which easily costs even more than cloud, not least of which due to maintenance contracts.

There was some discussion of this (somewhat tangential to the main topic) I participated in here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17329028
Another cool thing, that was counter intuitive to me is that more than just rejecting multipath, spread spectrum can actually make use of multipath to improve the link (although I doubt it is done much in practice).

Conceptually, what you do is correlate on the incoming signal like normal, this first lock is the dominant path. You take the component that correlated and subtract it from the incoming signal and correlate again on what remains. This lock is the second multipath. You can do this to recover as many multipaths as you want or have dynamic range for. Finally, the relative offsets in the correlations tell you how to re-align all the multipaths in time. Once they are aligned you can sum them together and get more SNR than if there had been no multipath at all.
Even if it did, artistic license allows for a certain degree of irony and detachment.

Hi, im curious to know how did you add tags to those videos at scale?

thanks in advance!
I don't think this is really a particularly new concept.

I think that there are two factors that have fuelled the rise of this type of restaurant. The first is that people are eschewing more formal dining for casual joints. When was the last time anyone went on a date to an actual fine dining establishment? Let alone gone to one with friends.

Secondly, this isn't fine dining dressing down, but rather greasy spoons dressing up. Souva just looks like a hipster version of a the kebab shop around the corner from me run by an old Lebanese bloke. A lot of these places, for better or worse, are ethnic food joints that are owned and operated by white people (to put it bluntly). I've seen a lot of these pop up recently. They're a hipster, more expensive version of traditional ethnic food. Vietnamese and Chinese seem to be particularly popular.

As for choosing to not make structure to last, I know of various buildings that were intended to be available for a period of at least 50 years. These structures began to fail after only 25 years. If we design for a period of "x" and we have failures at half of "x", we have some serious problems to overcome. One of them is that as a society we are so short-sighted that we cannot think past today, let alone 50 to 100 years.

If we are continually improving our construction techniques then explain why there are various research groups trying to work out what and how the ancients did things? Why do these research groups (in both private and public organisations) want to know this information? Is it because the techniques and materials used by those ancients are not known today? Is it because those techniques are superior to those we use today?

As far as cement is concerned, there are a number of different research groups that are looking at why we cannot make long lasting cements. On interesting facet about cement is that steel reinforcing actual decreases the life of any structure that uses this kind of technology.

You make a comment that we could replicate ancient structures "if" we chose to do so. You use the example of a pyramid as your example. Yet how they were constructed is an active research area because we don't know how it was done. There are lots of ideas, but no actual certainty on how they were constructed. Without knowing how they did and why they did what they did, it becomes very difficult to duplicate.

As I said before, we use different technologies to them. I suggest that you read various histories of technological development, including the late 19th and early 20th centuries to see what was done and how we lost the ability to do today. Sometimes we have been able to recover specific technological pathways because we have been able to get access to those individuals who were involved in previous generations.

I'll go back to my original comment that we, today, have an attitude problem when we consider earlier or ancient societies as being "primitive". It is an unfortunate fact of life that we do not care to preserve knowledge from the past. This is often done because we believe that we are more technologically advanced than we were even 10 years ago. Yet there are consequences to that attitude that will come back and bite us as a society and has already bitten us at various times in the last set of decades.

When you say that the statement "Yes we can do many things they didn't and they did many things we can't." is categorically untrue, then I can only assume that you are not familiar with various projects that are trying to discover how the previous societies were able to achieve particular outcomes (in a technological sense) that we can't do yet, even with all of our vaunted technological skills.
The C syntax is a bit too dated for me, but I think it returns a pointer to a stack buffer (which is capped at 100 bytes, so it could overflow) and goes through s twice? Plus it's not concise at all.

That was written when Tandem was the leader in database replication. They had shared-nothing redundancy working very well. The problem was that their custom CPUs cost too much.

Today, we see a lot of shared-nothing systems, where database slaves are kept in sync over the network. That's basically how Google stores data at scale. When you get big enough, you almost have to go that way.

There is a middle ground.

In Australia, the standard for a nice restaurant is that you get full table service, and when you're finished, you just walk up to the front counter to pay.

That way you get the best of both worlds.

Recent history shows that the Fed starts raising interest rates and then goes just a bit too far. They're like a driver who won't stop rhythmically pressing and releasing the gas pedal, until the passengers get motion sick.

In my opinion, the tax cut that has been benefiting the economy is the move away from zero percent interest rates. Lending to banks at below inflation is like a tax that goes directly to them. But when we keep on raising short term rates above inflation, that's going to be like a tax too, and I expect we will promptly get whiplash since the Fed doesn't know when to stop.

Good catch.

I just read the opinion in Bennis. The core of it is that the state may take property if the use of the property constitutes a public nuisance. If a ship is used for piracy or drug running, for example, then it can be taken.

In Bennis, there was a car jointly owned by a husband and a wife. The husband used the car with a prostitute. The wife didn't know. The question before the court was if the state's taking of the car violated the wife's 5th amendment rights, because she owned half of it and had nothing to do with the crime. Almost the entirely of the opinion concerned whether an innocent owner could have property taken if the property had been used to commit a crime by someone else. The court held that yes, it could, and that wasn't a violation of the 5th amendment.

Most of these civil forfeiture cases can be distinguished because the property taken usually wasn't used in the commission of a crime. People have had large amounts of cash taken from them even though they did nothing more than run a red light or drive too fast. In that case, the money can hardly been seen as having been an instrument of the crime.

It's unfortunate that in this particular case, the druggie did use his car to transport and to buy and sell drugs. This isn't the best case to challenge civil asset forfeiture generally. Perhaps "excessive fines" is the best they'll be able to do. Although if the court is really enlightened, they'll distinguish between an asset which is primarily used for crime (a crack house or a pirate ship) and one which is used only in passing (like this car).
