They explain _exactly_ how it works in the 2nd paragraph. 100% of the tip goes to the dasher, and then the base pay scales to hit the “minimum”.

That’s obviously lame, since you’d have to basically tip over the minimum to see the pay change. But they lying when they say “100%”.
I think it would only prefetch GET links, which never have side effects.
What ? What makes you think such a flawed reasoning would convince anyone ?

There have been a number of planned exoduses from Reddit over the years (the banning of FatPeopleHate, some kind of succession crisis with the CEO, and the banning of the AMA mod, to name some off the top of my head), but none of them has actually materialized into anything.
My question is - What is preventing this? Is it just a matter of getting enough critical mass onto the new platform? Or is there some other logistical or engineering challenge that I'm not considering?

The “exodus” happened, it just turned out that the people who left were in fact, massive dicks. They made Voat, which is mostly dead, and where it isn’t dead, it’s a roaring dumpster fire. I guess the major issue is that a lot of the people who make a lot of noise about “free speech” aren’t really sincere, they just want a place to spew. Well, now they have it, but since they only have each other to spew all over, it’s a mess.

The people who contribute something rather than just bitching and cursing at everyone obviously didn’t want to join the worst aspects of their community in an “exodus” either. I’ve just learned to be very suspicious of free speech arguments that exist only in the abstract; it’s often a cover for antisocial assholes. People with genuine grievances, as opposed to them being the grievance, tend to lead with specific and defensible examples; the assholes just make a lot of noise and abstract slippery slopes that never materialize.

Having said all of that, if someone misses Coontown or FatPeopleHate, Voat exists. Of course since those communities existed to troll people, and those people being trolled didn’t follow them, it’s a bit moribund.
This is amazing, reminds me of a colleague's personal site: http://bitfission.com/. He built it as a bit of de-stressing after a really long work week many years ago dealing with a major AWS outage. I believe he even combed through the geocities archives to be historically accurate.
They have been playing high stakes poker for a long time and are used to bluffing with embarrassing information . Their mistake was to think that would deter Bezos.
>The CEO edited the post of a user because they criticized him or something.

No the user was/is apart of a radical political group that was harassing the admins and other users on a private website, essentially abusing the platform.

Spare me the claims of censorship. We can't even get rid of subreddits that sexualize minors or even safe havens for beastiality.

Free speech has become a thought terminating cliche.
It appears that you will be able to opt out of Apple's new Enhanced Emergency Data. However, that part is device-initiated anyway. The traditional Network-Initiated Location Requests probably cannot be opted out of.
I guess I should get my water tested?

Do common filters that attach to your faucet or are inserted into your fridge filter these particles?
No, increasing tips in the jar increases their pay proportionally. Their starting point is low, but gains are real, except when the manager puts themselves as the 99.9% beneficiary of tips... which would be viewed just as negatively.
Admins are always 100% going to be capable of editing posts on a website, after all they can just edit the database.

This "proof" they have the ability to do that somehow signaling danger is nothing short of ridiculous.

It keeps artificial support under the euro. If it were to reverse any time soon you could see a big shift in the dollar vs the Europe. There are some early signs this might occur with changes in LIBOR recently.

> The net new revenue can be used by the city and state to pay for whatever services they deem fit (e.g. infrastructure, health, etc.).

Like giving more money already-highly-profitable companies?

> Taking all this into account, this seems like a super safe path to greater tax revenues, which will improve the city and state as a whole.

Well, like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. Your argument makes logical sense, it's just that your argument has been used to justify all kinds of spending in the past, and lo and behold, homelessness is increasing, schools are still underfunded, rents are more and more unaffordable, etc. If giving money to already-profitable companies works so well, then why are none of the problems I care about solved already, since we've been giving money to already-profitable companies for decades?
If DoorDash pays less when you tip, then the money is effectively going to DoorDash, not the dasher...
I hate frameworks not because it's hard or it forced me to do their convention, it's because it's not universal. This is one example. Prefetching should be frameworkless.
This is a fair point. The one who is most vocal about Spotify does not make her living (entirely) from her music in the first place. It would be most accurate to say Spotify has had no effect.

> The actually popular artists make great money

Is this so? As I recall, Spotify pays tenths of a U.S. cent per stream. The gross payout for a million streams is a few thousand dollars.
Your future self might appreciate just a little documentation. I recently learned that lesson after taking a year off from side projects. I’m currently having to retrace my steps because I no longer remember any details.
Amiga 1000 Rejuvenator Update 3.14: You Can Almost Taste It
That moderators can edit posts on Reddit throws into question the validity of state actors using it as evidence to arrest people but doesn't make it any more dangerous than it was from the start.
Neat list, though testing out some of these showed me why normal users may not be willing to use them as much as the mainstream versions. I mean, I looked at most of the Medium alternatives and created accounts there, and posted a few articles to see how they'd work.

In doing so, I realised that:

1. Most of them still lack the WYSIWYG side of things, which is a huge part of why Medium.com is so popular (and why the likes of WordPress do so well as hosted alternatives).

2. Their use of Markdown makes things confusing, since the 'language' has about a million different versions all of which support different things, and said sites don't document which they're using.

3. In some cases, the interfaces glitched, like with Plume not loading the full post and instead only showing about the first four paragraphs of it in the post editor.

Point being, the alternatives here really need to do more work on the UI design and documentation side, and lack the standard of polish or professionalism their corporate competitors have.
Have you ever took care of people who did drugs? I have trouble being with people who sold alcohol.

The greatest mind nature has ever produced, and that's what you do with it.

We help them as best as they can, hope they change, but really not hard to take one person out when everyone else despises them. Decisions at the top are a lot more callous than you think, and they're not going away anytime soon, and it isn't some popularity contest.
I stand corrected then, thanks for sharing :) I missed that part!
Yes and no. A typical setup at fine dining restaurants is a team of a front waiter (takes the orders, lists the specials) and a back waiter (brings the food, keeps drinks filled). Bussers clean and set the table between seatings.

You’ll typically tip out the whole wait staff on an even basis, or the front waiter may keep a little more. Then you give something to the busser, but not an even share, and you probably also give something to the expediter, if there is one - the person who manages the window to the kitchen.

It would be fairly uncommon to pass on tips to the kitchen.

Also note, with a staff like this, you can serve more tables in an hour, maybe 6-7, so there’s more money to go around.
There are a bunch of different knobs that you can tweak to make this "feel" like the dashers are either receiving the tips or not.

1. Suppose DoorDash provides a minimum payout of $0.01 instead of whatever algorithm they use. Then, clearly, 100% of your tip goes to the dasher.

2. Suppose you tip the dasher $1000 under the current system. The dasher receives $1001 and 100% of your tip feels like it's going to the driver.

3. Suppose dashers are paid a minimum of $100 per order, and your tip never reaches that level. In this case it feels like 0% of your tip is going to the dasher.

We actually don't have enough numbers to know which of these is more like reality as far as I know. If the typical tip is much larger than the minimum, then the minimum feels like it’s just protecting the dasher and their compensation is just tips. If it’s calculated to be right at the level of a typical tip or larger than it is clearly manipulative.
I am surprised you thought there was previously freedom of speech on Reddit.
Don't waste your time reading this article, it just mentions random points about how to have a functional web app, plus in a perfect world SEO should not exist, it's the Search Engine's job to find the content and show the user the content he is looking for, not the developers. I shouldn't have to add "hacks" in my code for the Google Crawler to understand my site the same way users already do.

> Many people are in for a rude awakening when they realize that a free ISA saves them like 1% or less of system cost.

Actually nobody will have a rude awakening from that as everybody in RISC-V already knows this. That ISA don't matter much for price or performance was mentioned in pretty much every single presentation on RISC-V.

Only by open source fans who don't know much about hardware had such unrealistic expectations.

RISC-V allows for a future of open and costume hardware to be used. There will never be an open hardware RISC-V RPi style board unless you have an open ISA you can build around and use the software base.

Now we have real shot at something like that coming about.
What is Amazon Flex and wjy doesn't the article mention Amazon beyond the title?
Sure, but don't you see the absurdity? I have to download and install VirtualBox, download a full Windows VM image, download and install iTunes on it, create an account, create a virtual credit card, register it on the account, purchase the album, and then copy the files out of the VM.

All so that the artists get about $1 from my $10.

Or I can download a torrent and give those $10 to Vapors of Morphine on their Bandcamp page, which is much easier for me and will net them about $8 instead.

So fuck the leeches, I'll keep pirating.

Or just use GrubHub, since most DoorTrash drivers also drive for GrubHub.
Listening to "axiom of choice equivalent" there is at some point a descending line and then a repetition of the main theme. Quite interesting.
In practice, that's done.

For instance, in common lisp there are procedures like `MAKE-ARRAY` and `MAKE-HASH-TABLE`. The interesting thing is that these hash tables and arrays are considered to be atomic.

Clojure generalizes the notion of pairs, which in some ways is more elegant (a collection of items being atomic isn't necessarily intuitive) and in some ways is less (now your language has to describe how this abstraction operates).
Don't you mean it's not an extremist right-wing haven?

I've seen plenty of ant-left, anti-feminist, anti-liberal, anti-democracy, right wing conspiracy stuff on Reddit, and of course mainstream conservative and right-wing political content.

But I don't necessarily think it's censorship to draw a line in the sand where extremism is concerned. Or if it is, then it's censhorship employed for reasons other than mere politics.

I think it's important to differentiate because the narrative here, as it's often employed, has been to describe social media as censoring "conservative" content en masse, on the premise that social media is engaging in an organized leftist conspiracy of censorship, which itself is an extension of the conspiracy theory that all mainstream media is owned and run by leftist/globalist/DNC operatives pushing a political agenda.

I think that's a misrepresentation of what actually happening, or what the motives actually are.
A Federal one, even.

Of course in our current “business” environment, such an entity would likely be eventually co-opted and captured by the very industry they regulate.
Why Financial Planning Is Exciting at Least for a Data Scientist
Only one: Sitram Cybernox, which was discontinued about 5 years ago. They have a metallic quasicrystal alloy coating applied over a stainless body. They have a heavy aluminum sandwich base, similar to the Sitram Profiserie line, possibly thicker. They're very well built, and were positioned as Sitram's top line.

I have a couple. In terms of non-stickiness, it's somewhere between stainless and well-seasoned cast iron. Someone expecting it to compete with PTFE nonstick will be disappointed.

EDIT:

I remembered something. The Cybernox coating is very vulnerable to pitting corrosion, much more so than stainless steel. Both of my Cybernox pans are pitted from light use.

Now where is Futhark's GEMM implementation & the vs. CuDNN benchmarks?
I'm not sure I necessarily see it either. It's not majority ownership. They can't just tell Reddit to censor.

On the other hand, you could see it as a conflict of interest. If Reddit thinks they want an additional round of investment later, they might be tempted to do things to ingratiate themselves.

Also, people are just very touchy right now about foreign powers trying to influence American public opinion on social media. It already happened once. It's not just a hypothetical risk.

The Pros and Cons of Pair Programming
I don't want the government to hold platforms accountable for user generated content.

I want private organizations to choose between being objective platforms like libraries or subjective organizations with a voice like The Washington Post. And I want norms, not laws, to enforce that distinction.

I don't want jerks interrupting my conversations with spam, but that's a very different matter than censoring people's thoughts because I don't agree or have unpleasant emotions when exposed to them.

I think HN is overmoderated, for what it's worth. It used to be more interesting but its habit of dinging threads with lots of discussion has a habit of filtering out important discussion in addition to heated discussion.

I definitely don't hold HN accountable for what random people post here.

That's not what those actually know something say. Also, the AI eliminating jobs is the wrong question.

The right question is the relation between automation (and AI) and wages.

Automation and labor income have clearly very complex dynamics. It can go both ways. It's the interaction of multiple factors that determines what is the outcome.

Listing just few complexities:

Short term reduction in the labor compensation seems possible and there is some evidence supporting it. When robot manipulators and vision gets over some threshold where they become almost as agile and smart as human hands, it will cause major disruption.

On the other hand, even in the worst case human labor will find areas where it has comparative advantage even if the human labor more expensive and provides lower quality is absolute sense. But what happens to labor compensation is different thing.

Labour augmenting automation is different from labor replacing and they both exist. Labour augmentation can increase wages and labor productivity. Automation can also lower incomes and increase incomes in different income brackets.

Automation is capital investment. If increases capital intensity of products enough it can reduce wages and demand.
Because you (customers in the US) cannot stop that practice without businesses pro-actively ending that practice en-masse.

That’s the best argument for why regulation needs to exist that I’ve heard in a while. When the only way the public, and the employees can effect change is through the massed goodwill of the minority of beneficiaries of the status quo, it’s time to step in and regulate.
Depends on context. There are many different types of design. A branding or marketing designer needs to trigger emotions, yes. A product designer needs to make it easy for a user to accomplish a task.
Lambdas have an un-utterable type, so the addition of a template like mechanism in their arguments is something the compiler can do behind the scenes and it all just works. Look for "generic" in this page <https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/lambda>

For my thick client robot management applications: Redux and an Immutable.Record. A very flat state. The only nested elements are GeoJSON features. Been doing this successfully across half a dozen deployed applications. It's really simple.
I would assume state actors would need something more than a screenshot of a Reddit post to make a case either way.
My personal favourite is the hypothesis that human ancestors had for an extended period lived wading in shallow water, which protected them from climate (i.e. either warm springs in cold climate, or regular water in warm ones; we can see similar behaviour among modern monkeys and apes in some circumstances [0]) and possibly from natural predators.

They were not constrained to the water, often leaving it to forage for food and possibly hunt, but regularly returning to its safety. Eventually the climate changes forced them to leave the wading lifestyle and adapt to steppes and other habitats, using their growing intellect to devise adaptations like clothes, tools and at some point mastery of fire.

This would, in my mind, explain a number of specific development present in humans in a very rare combination:

- nearly complete loss of body hair, except on the head (which is consistent with wading)
- adaptations for both swimming/diving and two-legged walk
- development of speech and facial expressions as communication tools, which work the best when the rest of the body cannot be used
- importance of fish in human diet
- increased brain in children, which causes more difficult births, which are offset but giving birth in water

This is a variant of what used to be known as "aquatic ape hypothesis" and widely ridiculed, but more resent research has supported some of its elements [1].

No it is not. Users need to know the conversation is coherent. Real.

Reddit is not always casual chat.

There is hide, delete and edit with a clear history for all involved.

Touching the database changes the record of reality without leaving history of it happening.

The database edit is what drove the spez controversy.
You're right on this, of course. I should make myself do it. One thing that helps is I'm an inveterate commenter. Sometimes big blocks on the beginning of a class as well. That helps a bit in remembering how things work years later. Cause most definitely it is not in my brain anymore.
So question: why should we as humans care if a company isn't able to sell their software to another government?

The underlying argument you're making comes down to this idea that capitalist competition is the most efficient way to produce results, but it's obviously incorrect in this case. Are we really arguing that having a bunch of different companies developing the same software a bunch of times for different governments is the most efficient way to do this?
Having only participated in a single cul-de-sac party, I can’t imagine why anyone would be against these. This sounds exactly like something that should be encouraged to create community in our increasingly insular lives.

Swift has this same stated goal. I guess ambition is good, but I really don't understand why you would try to make one tool handle such wildly different use cases. It's like me saying "my handheld electric jigsaw can be used from ripping full plywood sheets, up to cabinetry through luthiery". Well, sure, it can...but it's not actually good at more than one or two of those things.
What strikes me the most is that the state of the art in CPU architecture is immune to Spectre and Meltdown, yet it isn't once mentioned. Makes the article sounds like Intel funded stuttering.
We could also be saying that we (as a society via our laws) try to curtail stealing by setting penalties at a level such that the expected value from thievery is negative.

You don't need the equivalent of capital punishment for stealing and, by extension, don't need to take away all of a caught thief's money, just a sufficient multiple of their stealing to make it unattractive to enter into a career of it.
The old version of Reddit is open source.
Petting cats, cuddling, walking, biking, cooking, baking, carpenting, watching interesting videos and good films, reading magazines like the London Review of Books, reading beautiful books, drinking good beer, coding and refactoring and documenting with the aim of making something really beautiful, playing guitar and piano, looking on Pinterest, going out for dinner, taking photos and editing them, making short films, working out, chatting, cleaning, doing jhana meditation, taking baths, traveling, ...
