As an employer, I want the best. All other things held equal, someone trained from some kind of institution will give me more confidence for employment than someone self-taught. Self-taught shows initiative, but institutional learning applies a baseline training employers can trust.

Isn't it just about being less strict? It is not clear to me whether someone can call itself vegetarian, if as a guest at a religious holiday eats a traditional dish, or licks a gelato on holiday in Italy?

> There's no moral or ideologic obligation with vegetarianism/veganism, it's just what you eat.

I agree, and I wish more people would share your opinion, but as a person who wears formal shoes and have leather earpads on his headphones, I am not brave enough to call myself vegan these days.
3D-printing ranges from fragile resin pieces to metal durable enough to use as rocket nozzles. This article was about 3D printed titanium, so the resulting piece is likely stronger than bone but weaker than machined titanium would be.
I’ll compare Fork with GitUp (https://gitup.co) on macOS.

A big advantage of Fork is a better merging experience. Personally, I use GitUp in conjunction with CLI when I do rebases, which implies higher mental overhead.

Overall, Fork’s UI feels a fair bit slower to use compared to GitUp, both in terms of raw performance and design. For example, after selecting a commit, details take about half a second to load in the bottom pane, and expanding a diff from there takes a precision click. (The Changes subpane offers another diff view, but it requires to select a single changed file first and takes a half-second until file’s diff appears.)

GitUp is blazing-fast, has very focused UI, and further speeds up your workflow with well-thought keyboard shortcuts that cover pretty much all available functionality.

Platform integrations in Fork might make sense to someone, though to me it’s a concern. It supports GitHub and Bitbucket—what about Gitlab? Unless you monetize, I doubt you can integrate with everything, maintain each integration as their APIs evolve, and still spare enough effort on improving the core UI.
Generally though once a server has gotten a couple tables (2-4 maybe but it depends a lot on the local tipping culture and the restaurant) done all of the rest of the money tipped is all extra and unless it’s a really slow day most tips are going to the server. DoorDash applied their adjustment to every single order so unless a driver was tipped more than a certain amount (I’ve heard $10) they never received the tip.

Also there’s a decent amount of talk about how bad tipping is and talks about getting rid of it but it’s a culturally ingrained thing so it’s not going to go easily, especially as it benefits restaurant owners so they’re unlikely to change unless there’s a lot of social and business pressure to do so.
Though the name change did seem to coincide with a shift in focus away from only payroll, to include services similar to Zenefits.

Well... From a game designers perspective a player has very little free will... Yes they can make choices but in the grand scheme all the choices are predetermined.

Good level design is basically when a player traverses a predetermined path while not feeling that he is on rails...

Example og good level design, Half Life games. A player Traverse the world as if they can go anywhere but they always pick the right way.

Other example is Dark souls. Keeps you in a loops so you never hit a "dead end"

Agreed. If you're looking for a different style of icons to use in your application, Tango/GNOME and Breeze are large, complete icon themes.

Tango/GNOME Icons Wikipedia pages (previews many but not all icons): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tango_icons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Desktop_icons

Breeze is a bit more 'modern' and would also work well on HiDPI: https://github.com/KDE/breeze-icons ; you would probably want to clone the repo and browse the files manually since GitHub isn't great for previewing images.

KDE created/used the Oxygen icon theme before Breeze, its style is between Tango/GNOME and Breeze: https://github.com/pasnox/oxygen-icons-png

It cites https://www.ceu.edu/rethinking-open-society, which supports that statement.
> are we willing to accept a third plane's worth of casualties over an already known systemic error, for a miniscule improvement to the growth rate?

0.6% of 2% of $19 trillion is $2.2 billion. Theoretically, if enough of that could be captured and used to directly reduce airfare on 737 MAX planes (and/or provide a fat guaranteed payout in the event of death) then I bet a lot of people would choose to fly--possibly even in the U.S., but certainly in many parts of the world where people already assume substantial risks when traveling.

It would be difficult to capture it, though, especially because Boeing would be better off shutting down production and waiting as the manufacturer duopoly means Boeing is likely to sell all or most of those planes eventually rather than lose out on a large number of sales entirely.

But if we were able to somehow force Boeing to factor in the real costs to employees of labor disruption (i.e. if Boeing was forced to be 100% unionized now and for the indefinite future) then I imagine Boeing might choose to keep a minimal production line going and sell at discounted prices, in turn permitting some regional airlines to sell cheaper tickets. Actually, more likely Boeing would be better off paying their labor to sit around (and their employees richer for it) by giving labor a greater share of the future expected surplus from duopoly pricing. Or maybe some combination of the above.

I have no idea how to even attempt to pencil that out, though. My point is merely that it could work, depending on the numbers; not that it necessarily would work. In other words, your question can be answered quantitatively, whereas I assume you intended it rhetorically with an implied, categorical, "no".

This is one of those "no stupid questions" type questions: why are there so many more sizes for women? Men's sizes don't fit perfectly either, but it seems like women have more sizing options for the same struggle. Are women harder to fit? Do men just not bother with a correct fit? It also seems that at least a good number of guys can wear off-the-rack for a decent fit, but almost no women. Just a guy who doesn't understand trying to understand more.

And while I'm it, many women I know don't wear dresses more than once or twice. Why? This seems wasteful.

There is zero possibility that anything like that will happened to Turkey just as there is zero possibility of that happening to Saudi Arabia for their journalist murdering. The current rulership of the US (and Poland for that mater) actively dislike academia and the free press.

Also, the US will need to use Turkey for whatever it plans to do to Iran. So if anything, revealing Erdogan's atrocities is annoying to the current leadership not helping.

> what we're all supposed to believe...growing disillusionment with geopolitics and its reporting in western media

Since we're talking about the NYT, I must say that at this time the US is overwhelmingly controlled by a party that condemns the media and its own free press as a lying enemy of the people. This is why the hated there grew enormously in the last few years. I understand there are similar forces in several other nations.

I believe in linguistic terms this is called operating in a principally visual modality. That is, the majority of your communication is visual in nature, so it becomes second nature.

Even in hearing people, I'm reminded of those who are not just big readers but are used to reading; those who can skim and still obtain 100% of the writer's meaning as opposed to others who aren't so comfortable, fluent, or quick readers — but are not uneducated, just not accustomed to the medium.

I own guns, as my father did before me and his father before him. All my brothers own guns. We're sportsmen, hunting is a popular recreation where we live.

Of all the guns in my family, not one has ever hurt a human being. Not a single incident, over many decades and who knows how many shots fired.

I have many friends with the same situation-- I don't know of anyone who has ever shot another human being. Not a single one.

The problem is the dramatic drop in respect for other people and their lives. Some people have lost respect, they are dangerous. It's not the gun's fault.

There is absolutely no evidence to support any claims at all regarding consciousness, in any direction.

We know literally zero about the natural basis for consciousness -- and I mean zero -- and so that claim (better known as "panpsychism" if you want to research it) is pretty much as plausible as any other at this point. And it's been taken pretty seriously by a great number of scientists and philosophers over the centuries.
One important distinction to me is DoorDash took benefit from every single tip while restaurants only benefit on the first couple tips until the difference between minimum wage and the tipped minimum wage is negated. After that all tip benefits go directly to the person being tipped where people expect it to go. Generally, depending on a lot of variables, after the first handful (I’m ball parking 2-4) of tips that gap should be covered and most times servers should see way more than that in tips.

No, having a client side hashed password sit in your logs is way better because it only introduces risk for your own service, instead of risk for every user who reuses their password on multiple services.

> Perhaps a silly question, but why do you go for tap water?

60% of the human body is made up of water (some parts more, some less):

* https://www.usgs.gov/special-topic/water-science-school/scie...

Now there are certainly other beverages available, but at a restaurant the options are usually alcoholic or sugary. And if you're not into alcoholic drinks (lifestyle, health, or you are driving), and do not want to ruin your health with sugary drinks (pop/soda), what are the alternatives if you want something with your meal?

Yes, you can pay several dollars/euros for bottled water, but given that it is H2O, I'm not sure what value you're getting. Bubbles?

At some Asian restaurants they give you complementary (green) tea, which I like, but I still often ask for a glass of water.

After my meal I'm fine with getting a tea or coffee, but my friends and I usually do that at another place and not at the restaurant.

(I'm also not much of a beer or wine person, so if I order a vodka or whisky with my meal I get strange looks.)

I’m still optimistic about science in general, but sometimes I question the wisdom of our resource allocation: Tech companies making selfie sharing apps make enough money to fund an entire space program several times over, but instead reinvest it in making the next generation of selfie sharing apps.

And because all the money is in selfie sharing apps, that’s where a large percentage of the brightest minds go to spend their career (as opposed to something less financially responsible, like nuclear fusion engineering, astronomy, or space flight)
Likewise, that's why a lot of effects have a gain knob (not for driving the heck out of the next pedals down the chain, but for accommodating weakened signals after so many patch cords between them...), and a good rack setup nearly always has a power conditioner and buffers - to make up for this exact issue.

The "next generation" is always destroyed for there's something out there just for destroying them. In the modern era it's the Twitter/Instagram/TikTok/you-name-it. Before these it's video games. Before video games it's the TV. before the TV it's rock music. Before rock music it's the pesty comic books. It's not that the concern from the so-called "older generation" is totally irrational, it's the case that we have to come up with new strategies to deal with the bad influence the "new things" have, if they ever have any; it's our very own responsibility.
It's surprising infrastructure in the US is as cheap as it is. It is built with no meaningful cost controls. Environmental impact studies are uniquely slow and hard to navigate. Only a few well-connected firms are able to bid, and they get picked for mostly political reasons. "Buy America" restrictions make a lot of obvious projects actually impossible. Those responsible for cost overruns are never held to account.

I would never be an advocate for the kind of no-knock raids the article is describing. I'm not addressing that by contesting the use of those statistics. My point is more that _any_ risk of getting shot in the line of duty changes the entire playing field. Just because it's declining doesn't mean that it's insignificant.
That being said, as said before I'm not advocating for the kind of overwhelmingly violent responses that SWATting describes.

So then we make a good PGP frontend which can properly utilize the web of trust. What a lot of smart people - you included - have noticed is that there are too many technical knobs to turn for doing certain actions like talking to someone or encrypting for someone while also being able verify and secure their communications or files. Even if PGP is used properly it still takes too many steps and too much know how. My take is that we should take out the labyrinthine intellectual masturbation that is key management, signing, encryption and relationship management and just let people use it for their activities.

Whats more, saying that we shouldn't use PGP and instead should use separate tools for the job doesn't help either. Then we'd need to figure out how to use each individual tool for its purpose. That does nothing to empower users, it only swaps one pain for another.

Keybase is almost there, Signal is almost there. But they're not what we really need.
BARR, there is no way to untangle the yarn produced in nations outside our own.

My professor uniform used to involve a closet full of Brooks Brothers Oxford button-down shirts. Not that the brand resonates with me; the quality was simply better than similar mass-produced shirts. They felt like the denim shirts I was advised to not wear.

Then I discovered propercloth.com - custom shirts made in Asia, with an outpost in Manhattan. Took a guess at the dozen or so size parameters, got my trial shirt, wore it down to their tailor, and had it tweaked. Turned in my trial shirt for a free replacement. I now have 15 or so.

Lack of public bathrooms is a real shame and a failure in planning. It is a universal human right to access a bathroom in public places, or else be okay with people pissing and shitting wherever.

> From my point of view, this article and others like it could be interpreted as a very early precursor to forced regime change in Turkey.

Maybe, but it seems a bit much for them to even entertain that one - they (whoever they actually is) haven't had any luck with Iran or North Korea where whipping up some sort of frenzy or story about a direct threat would seem much easier.

Getting Turkey to that position of threat seems like pushing shit uphill.

My point is that once you're aware of Manufactured Consent being a thing that has happened, it can be easy to see it everywhere even when it isn't necessarily there. Overdoing it can be a little hard to distinguish from deepstate/illuminati conspiracy theorists. Edit - definitely not implying this here.

>Strangely, I saw more units with central A/C in Toronto than in San Francisco. I guess they're used to hot summers there.

A home in San Francisco doesn't need central heating at all, but a home in Toronto (where it remains frozen for a few months in the year) very much does.

Once you have central heating, adding a central A/C unit (or a heat pump) is not a significant additional expense compared to how much a home usually costs, and failing that can be roughed in for later installation, so the decision to purchase one when the summers get too hot is an easy one, or when you have a family and want A/C so that small children or the elderly don't roast while living/visiting.
> In Germany nobody drinks tap water.

German here - drink pretty much exclusively tap water. Ordering tap water in a restaurant definitely IS frowned upon (the restaurant has to choose putting it on its menu and/or accommodate your request) , but I have yet to meet another German who would take offense at drinking Kraneberger.

I guess there may be regional differences, but it's very clearly not universal.

> There was a time before air conditioning when it was possible to heat and cool buildings.

There are a lot of old buildings with thick walls as well as special building styles (like the Fachwerk that we apparently have a lot of, compared to other countries) that deal very well with heat and, I must admit, have a much superior air quality and just overall feeling of climate than any air conditioned building I have experienced so far. Perhaps those are adjusted to a very particular temperature profile, though, and if the climate changes, AC might start to make more sense.

I don't think we have very good experience with installing AC, though. Just an anecdote, but at my $JOB, we're housed in a very "modern" building with light materials, large windows from floor to ceiling, exposure to sunlight from dawn till dusk and a hilariously impotent AC (supposedly fed by an innovative ice storage something or other). The people in charge do a marvelous job of pretending, for years now, that it's a complete mystery why the ac keeps failing to move the needle - at the record heat of 39°C outside, the temperature inside climbs well beyond 32°C. But I guess that makes sense if you were responsible for making as basic a mistake as "building the walls too thin".
