If you’re thinking of avoiding these services (which may cause you inconvenience, less demand for the service and less jobs generated for workers), I’d recommend instead to just avoid tipping via the platform. Tip in cash, square cash or Venmo. This still provides drivers the guaranteed minimum from the service and the tip you give in cash is truly 100% going to the person as a bonus.

The worst part of this though is DoorDash outright deceiving me by prominently saying 100% of the tip goes to Dashers every time I checkout. When I read that I assume it’s a bonus, not that DoorDash will then reduce their portion of the pay. Seeing that message, I’ve been religiously tipping via DoorDash, not any more. It’s only cash from here on.
Respectfully, try this concept on for size.

AI has a hard time telling cows apart from traffic lights under the wrong lighting conditions.

So we have AI looking at a data set, and it notices this anolmalous, shadowy outline of an interesting shape in the data. This AI is the same class of software that can be duped into misclassifying a face for a celebrity with some abstract, bold halloween makeup.

So, do we trust that everything interesting the AI picks up on is assuredly a new finding?

How do we know that the AI hasn’t mistaken a potential pathway for mutant future descendants as ancestral artifacts? Maybe it has noticed something that can’t happen yet, which could be a possible future reproductive vector?

Or, maybe it really is an ancestral artefact, but of something that never happened. Just a weird coicidence of justified end-of-line characters all lining up perfectly, when you drop certain rows.

France has vast armies and trillions of dollars? lol

On the one hand I think foreign countries griefing American businesses with arbitrary fines is lame. Perhaps they should start their own tech industries instead of leeching off ours. On the other hand, the notion of corporations having enough leverage to dominate sovereign countries - that's scary as hell. There has to be some kind of happy medium here.
Plenty of companies with interests in China have voluntarily acceded to Chinese demands over stuff like the naming of Taiwan.

I'm a PM and didn't have any negative feeling when I read that part of the comment. I was reflecting a bit on why. I think it's three things:

1. If I've not done my job as a PM, then it's much better to figure it out earlier rather than later. If engineers struggle on without the right support from a PM (whether that's stories/requirements, oral clarification, ...) then that can slow things down or create worse outcomes. So I'd rather someone call out holes in my work at the earliest possible opportunity, then be polite so the problem can get larger.

2. In a high trust environment, people can take criticism of their work without taking it personally. It's hard to achieve this type of relationship (with specific people) or environment (with a group of people), but can make things much smoother.

3. I feel the job of the PM is to make the team successful through whatever means possible. Feedback/criticism directed at me is a valuable source of information to support that, whether or not I am the correct target.

Not sure how I feel about this. I often hover over a link to see where it is linking to, see if it has a title, etc. But that's probably not typical of most users. And I don't do it on sites I use often and am familiar with.
Ive never worked in a restaurant, so I could be wrong, but I think most places pool tips. So you have to split that 72-120, with the line cooks, bus boys, etc.
Why would you simulate hovering over links if you can just visit those URLs directly? If you want all links anyway, you lose the real optimization here, which is not the preloading itself, but limiting that to the (small) subset that a particular user seems interested in.
> often not for the customers

As someone who tends to tip well, I really don’t mind it. It’s a way to tangibly say “thank you” and “I appreciated your work.” (That said, tips should be above and beyond. Not required, and not included in minimum wages.)
personally I would say don’t do that again, and then get over it.
Like other peers on this thread, I have at least a couple hundred days of playtime between the ages of 13 and 16. I played 9pm-2am m/t/w/f as a dwarf paladin main tank through ICC heroic 25 man-mode and as a pvp healer in 2v2 and 3v3 arenas on weekends.

Nearly every belief I now hold about what it means to be a team member, to commit to a shared and ambitious goal, I originally felt while working through the game with my fellow 24 guild mates. So much work is required to plan and coordinate with people, to re-invent new strategies after unrelenting defeat by bosses for many many months with no progress, etc.

Many of whom were my closest friends during those years!

Thanks very much for sharing :)

The US and Canada are really the only countries with mandatory tipping. We should require businesses to display the final price, including all the fees like sales tax, health tax, and service. Uber has done it: you can leave a tip but you don’t have to.

Yeah I’m not sure they are really comparable. Most foreign governments buying T-notes are not fully hedging their currency exposure. As the Bloomberg article demonstrates, doing so heavily eats into your returns. You are paying an expensive premium, it would probably just be a better idea to buy USD denominated T-notes and deal with the currency exposure down the line.

Never summarize as “allergic” to a medical professional; they need the details.

At this point I'd take everything over a liberal democracy, even if it's communism. Most mainstream websites place a ban on extremist content which affects all of us, left and right wing alike, but on Reddit left wing is tolerated. That's why I never understand when people call Reddit a nazi black hole ;P
DoorDash’s blog post on the matter is ridiculous: https://help.doordash.com/consumers/s/article/Should-I-tip-m...

How can they possibly justify the bit about dashers receiving 100% of tips which is repeated several times?
Let's wait and see what creative ways will be found to exploit this optimization as well. :)

None should be, but several are. Just the way that it is.
We need to find ways to untrap people from their online networks. Perhaps a common friendlist protocol with global identifiers? The market should be able to offer alternatives to reddit. User uprisings are just proof that the platform is a monopolistic trap.
You're completely ignoring historical context and engaging in whataboutism as well.
Disagree. Google isn't responsible for the content of emails, WhatsApp is not responsible for the groups using it to organize, and the monuments in D.C. aren't responsible when some folks decide to yell bigoted language.

There needs to be room for public spaces to just be venues. Service providers should be able to just be service providers.

There should be limits, but they should mostly align with legal limits and they should be enforce by law enforcement officers accountable to the public primarily by observing public posts or through warrants and subpoenas.

There should additionally be norms about, broadly, what counts as disruptive behavior, but it needs to be agnostic about content.

I don't really care if it is hard to make 100 billion dollars because there are too many trolls or because the content doesn't align with "corporate values".
I’m still confused. Presumably you can’t pass an uninstantiated template to a function, so what’s the type of the lambda expression?

It’s effectively a callable object with multiple overloads but I didn’t know lambda syntax could create something like that.

We have today 32+ cores CPUs with minimal or no branch prediction and speculation. They work spectacularly well on some specific workloads but are terrible for general purpose computation. They are called GPUs.

Speculation and branch prediction is not going away. On the contrary is going to get more and more sophisticated.

What needs to die is the belief that you can rely on just software (i.e. memory safety) for isolation between trusted and untrusted code[1].

My 8 year-old account was shadow-banned site-wide for criticizing AMC's video player on a sponsored link (they've since disabled comments on advertising posts).
From the Washington Post article: “Scientists unaffiliated with the project are skeptical that this system, or future iterations, will work as intended.” And they point out some of the reasons. May be Slat will prove them wrong. I was mainly provding an update as to what has happened since the 2017 BostonReview.net article.

But the ISPs are not held responsible. They can externalize costs to society, and so they do so - because that is what capitalism mandates. Without an institution that puts those costs back where they belong, nothing will change, because it is cheaper not to change.

I'd recommend reading up on the Cuyahoga River, the Clean Water Act, and the formation of the EPA - it's pretty much the same problem. Industry creating problems by abdicating its responsibility, necessitating a legal solution. And enforcing that requires a public institution.
Sure, but the argument was about what would be different if it was run or even started as a non-profit? Tencent, for example, could still become a "sponsor" and board member and try to influence everything.
Surveillance is not unethical, it's not unique to Amazon, and it's not remotely new.

Cameras are surveillance technology. Are you outraged at every manufacturer of cameras? Cameras are directly marketed as security systems (aka "surveillance").

A person staring at a CCTV looking out for a specific person holding a photo has been around forever. Facial recognition makes them more efficient.

None of this is new. None of this is unique to Amazon. Making this about amazon is dishonest.
It is possible Bezos and AMI were negotiating something that was secret / illegal and AMI thought they’d gain the upper hand by this extortion act thinking Bezos wouldn’t want to risk his image and fortune.

Bezos rightly understood that AMI had no leverage and were on shaky ground.

Again impossible to formulate a compelling picture without more context.
This is the big problem with a lot of people's attempts to implement lisps to show how simple lisp is: they don't implement even a reasonable subset of lisp. A real lisp implementation will eventually require a garbage collector! Which is hardly simple.

The misunderstanding, I think, comes from the fact that lisp code is typically quite terse, which is often a measure of simplicity. But part of the reason lisp code is so simple is that a lot of the heavy lifting is done behind the scenes. There's no getting around that software is complicated: the benefit of lisp is that it does a good job of managing the complicated parts while giving the programmer responsibility for a small subset of the functionality which is still powerful enough to enable the programmer to do what they need/want to do.

Nonsense. HN moderators already act with zero accountability. This is possibly the only major site that shadowbans users as a matter of course.

Besides, people vary between not noticing, not caring, or getting involved in the drama because it's actually fun but still not really caring.

99% of Reddit couldn't tell you the name of the mentioned Reddit CEO or fired AMA manager.
No. What the article details is not an ordinary exit from the French market, but an overnight attempt to pressure France into a change of government, which would involve disabling critical infrastructure and not fulfilling contractual and legal obligations in an attempt to make the French state unable to perform its functions.

And yes, having a company with the power and will to "digitally coup" world powers would be an immediate threat to national security, no question about that.

I don't know where you got the nationalization part from: U.S. courts and law enforcement are perfectly capable of taking temporary control of companies' resources in an effort to stop or prevent criminal activity, and none of that involves nationalizing anything.

Again, though, that's what you say you want, but it's not what you want. You want moderation, you want focused discussion, you want to be free of objectionable garbage, you want high signal to noise ratio, and the proof of that is that you're having this argument on a heavily moderated discussion forum as we speak.

There's no lack of "true" free speech opportunity on the internet. Sites like stormfront and 4chan remain a thing. Don't pretend like that's what we all want from Reddit, is all I'm saying.
> the drama it caused is way overblown

People have been arrested because of Reddit posts they made. If the admins can edit comments without any indication to the users... They can falsely accuse you of a crime. They can also identify you and ban you specially if you do or say things not in alignment with the founders of Reddit(criticizing Serina Williams got a subreddit banned recently).

As the article admits, tipping predated slavery by a long shot. People like to be able to tip if desired and many/most expect it to be incremental to wages.
But there are also TwoXChromosomes, LateStageCapitalism, and all the niche sexual orientation subs. A lot of Reddit is pretty woke, so it's a safe harbor for quite a bit, right?
Rotating a single vector using a quaternion
Pretty much the front page is purged of the "protest". I air quoted it for the sheer ridiculousness of it all. Why?

Pretty sure you would find many posting and or reading from their Chinese made phones in their homes with Chinese made appliances and other such accouterments all the while having ignored some of these events that occurred during their adult lifetime but where many occurred long before.

In other words it is a disappointing sign of what constitutes standing up for one's beliefs. Where posting on a social network, hash tag tweets, and more, are the only effort they will ever make. Yet they wonder why the world ignores them for the most part.

Oh I am quite sure there are politicians willing to exploit them, many willingly will line up for it, if anything to feel as if they make a difference. Then they forget by the next time they line up for their morning latte
Right, but I don't think that's really indicative of the "exercise recovery" industry. Bottled water, of course, is an industry, but I don't know of a company that's specifically trying to sell water for exercise recovery. It's just water, it's fairly well known that humans need that, especially when exercising.
It probably doesn’t to most people. But since Bloomberg is primarily a financial services company, they write articles for finance professionals (mostly).

Even so, I think it’s a little disingenuous to compare EUR denominated T-notes with Bundes (which are natively EUR denominated). Of course if they just compared regular T-notes, with Bundes, they really wouldn’t be a story since T-notes are paying a great rate compared to any other government bonds.
Here is a pretty good explaination of how it worked. https://www.reddit.com/r/CrackWatch/comments/92uz49/the_ware...

Credence: what to do when we’re not certain
This is moving the goalposts in a dangerous way. You're suggesting that fraud isn't as big of a problem in the US or other countries, when in fact it definitely is. Chinese academics didn't force academics in the USA to fudge data, or play with statistics.
I would say by misrepresenting the arguments of your opponents and simplifying them to the point of removing them, it is you who is making the disingenuous argument.
I feel like it would be incredibly easy for 1 person to make a reddit clone with what's available today. Reddit's advantage is its network but a competitor's platform would sky rocket in situations like these.
One thing to think about is the formation of communities, in Reddit as with other communities 1% of the users are submitted 99% of the content and probably 80% of users are literally not even commenting. I personally think that one of the key things that stops Reddit from being abandoned is that it pisses people off for fairly political reasons (free speech, hate speech etc.) and the people likely to shout "THIS IS TERRIBLE LET'S ALL LEAVE" are those who are least attached to the platform not the most. So sure, they could leave, but the site doesn't suffer when they leave.

If you start to see changes that negatively effect the people driving content and those people losing interest, then that's a much more reliable sign that Reddit is going to suffer. That's really what killed Digg.

What I'm looking forward to see is when Reddit inevitably has to drive revenue to justify this VC capital and the smug quote from Ohanian comes back:

>this new version of digg reeks of VC meddling. It's cobbling together features from more popular sites and departing from the core of digg, which was to "give the power back to the people."
It's funny how much more sense this made on old-fashioned dial-up connections. Back then, as far as I remember, there was no data limit as such. The only thing that counted was connection time. Rather than sitting there reading something while generating ticks, you could better download much of the site and disconnect. An old form of rush to idle.
Agreed. Often the most challenging part of being a PM (besides coercing xfn collaborators to care about your priorities) is getting agreement on the amount of research that needs to have been done to justify a new feature, product or user journey. This is usually either business case development + ethnographic user research OR confronting of technical debt and engineering limitations/opportunities ... and it's rare to get everything right the first time. It's also rare to work in a place where a PM has the luxury of dedicating enough time & resource to create a complete requirement before the tech teams start working.

I also read "shot down" as a constructive and expected feedback mechanism. In small teams, it might be the TL or eng mgr who provide this feedback, but for larger product business cases are often required for review by executive stakeholders, and they will always be terse, hopefully constructive, but frequently come across as overly negative. Why? Because they're gatekeepers and it's their job to ensure the best opportunities are pursued and the rest are either back burnered or sent to the graveyard.
No. But neither is the ADN of Kenyan citizens so far.

The quote is from a longer paragraph about the use of ID card. We use ID card for that too in the EU as a proxy for identification verification. The author seems to imply is bad per se. Hence my remark.

We also have laws and activists to fight governments willing to associate those IDs with DNA, iris record, health, etc.

But those data have nothing to do with your legal existence and your ability to prove it.

FTR: I hope Kenyans will find a way to resist their government's move to associate such data with their ID.
I don't remember this. Source/details?
