The freedom of the individual is, in most cases, more important than the greater good. If you disagree, you'll have to make a better case than just saying that it's not true. There's a very easy solution that doesn't infringe upon liberties: everyone makes his own choice according to the level of risk with which he's comfortable. A healthy twenty-something can probably go about his business and be fine; an at-risk person should stay home as long as necessary until it's safe.
It's much easier than it used to be, but it still sucks. Even with Modern Treasury and Plaid banks a a horrible thing to deal with.

There are legitimate abuses of market power. But this is not one of them.

Nobody's forcing restaurants to enter these partnerships, there's competition, and delivery people still need to be paid.

There are two obvious outcomes here: either food delivery apps will restrict delivery to profitable orders only (stop working for some restaurants, require higher order minimums, etc.), or they'll stay to avoid bad press but then this is essentially the city blackmailing investors to subsidize food delivery.

It's one thing for COVID-19 to restrict business services, and deeply unfortunate that businesses wind up closing. It's another thing entirely to force businesses to continue operating but at a loss.

If Portland or other cities believe it's a necessary public service to provide subsidized food delivery, then they ought to pay for it themselves through tax dollars. Either hire city-employed deliverypeople and make them available to restaurants, or pay GrubHub etc. to do it through a normal business contract.

But capping food delivery rates to far below what they were pre-pandemic is not a fair approach.
I've been interested in Idris for quite awhile, but not sure how to go about learning it. Are there any particularly good resources? Am I expected to know Haskell or is it sufficient to have a few years of experience with FP in general?
This is on toolforge, so while it's technically on Wikimedia run infrastructure (Wikimedia cloud services), the tool itself is maintained by a community member. If you use this outside of the Wikimedia cloud services environment (toolforge and Cloud VPS), then you're asking for trouble.

Here's my tip for kickstarting a career search from a cold start:

- Look at N job descriptions for job(s) you want

- Flush out your LinkedIn profile to make it look like you can do the jobs you want

- Set your LinkedIn profile to being open to new opportunities

- Engage with any recruiter who comes along for the practice

- If you get a lot of attention, refine your pitch, and if you don't get any attention, look into why that is

- If a recruiter asks you to send them a resume, and you don't have one you like, use a PDF of your LinkedIn profie

The problem is that this response is in the wrong direction. By forcing prices lower, we guarantee that only over-capitalized predatory businesses can compete in the space.

The problem is that consumer advocacy and anti-monopoly are practically the opposite thing. The end result of government action here should be short-term higher prices to the consumer, that reflect the actual cost of operations, rather than lower prices to the consumer (i.e. "free delivery") that is achieved by pricing at a loss to drive out competitors.
I have used both Office365 (previous job) and Google apps (current job).

Office365 is lightyears ahead for pretty much everything, from a business perspective.

From a nerd persepective, outlook mail is a bit uncomfortable to use and Teams has usability problems (slack is still better in that regard).

However you get Teams basically for free with an office 365 subscription, and you would have to buy the office suite anyway, so...
A family member of mine owns a restaurant that does mostly delivery business. He employs his own drivers; he's on GrubHub because it brings in more business and is a net positive for his bottom line. He includes flyers with every order that says, in large obvious text, "Call us directly at [this number] and save 20% compared to GrubHub."

He still gets a sizeable amount of repeat business from GrubHub.

There is (or was, while I was there) a feeling coming from Tech. Infra. leadership that the company must avoid "industry-enabling" software projects and conference papers. There also is/was a faction that desired to avoid "getting Hadooped", referring to the map/reduce knockoff. Hadoop has a large mindshare outside Google but it is also incredibly bad and about 20 years behind Google internal practices. It both enables and disables the industry at the same time. So they didn't want that to happen with Borg.
On the other hand, with a delivery service where the driver delivers for multiple restaurants, the downtime of the driver can be reduced to near-zero, so I don't think that is the problem.

That is the fastest most iterative process we have found so far... as the expert on the original code, you are able to deliver the best outcome.

Looks like it's heavily inspired by the Go playground (which took it's inspiration also elsewhere, but afaik was a first for a compiled language).

I think you misunderstand.

There are a number of restaurants listed on Yelp in my area for whom the phone number listed is answered by GrubHub. I refuse to deal with GrubHub, so I make an effort to search for a direct number, but it is often difficult to find.

I'm not sure how GrubHub is getting themselves set as the primary number for restaurants in Yelp, but it's happening.

> Social programs are funded by tax dollars, not cheap labor that may or may not be reported for taxes at all.

The economy provides tax dollars. If immigrants are working hard for low wages, they're supporting the economy and economic growth. You're thinking very unclearly if you gauge the economic impact of a worker, or a class of workers, solely on how much income tax they pay.
- Show respect for the reader's time. Sometimes we scan 10-15 resumes a day and can see clear patterns, repetitive marketing pitch, lofty unsubstantiated claims. Unserstand that others applying for the job have very similar resumes and you need to be more direct and stand out from the pack. The job poster's BS detector is fairly finetuned and can quicky pick out BS from true merit.

- What draws my attention is humility and the resumes that speak directly to me. Like a resume narrating a coherent career story.

- Show some solid experience in the core technologies requested in the job posting.

This much is usually enough to prompt me to give someone a call and then know their story and cross reference it with what the resume said and also know more about them.

This is a false dichotomy. At-risk people can stay at home as long as they need to until it's safe. Those who aren't at risk can go about their business as normal. I'd say taking away the liberties of everyone is worse than a single-digit percentage death rate.

I'd much prefer we design processors around languages, because from what I understand, x86 isn't really optimized for anything.

x86 itself has a lot of glut. Most x86 processors don't directly implement x86 in hardware but execute instructions in microcode, much like JVM and Java bytecode.
My only real comment here is that you do also have to put anywhere between $5,000 to $15,000 into your car yearly. Between elevated maintenance costs, additional fuel (somewhere around a tank every 2-3 days), and replacing the vehicle when it fails, it eats into the money pretty quickly.

At least, that was my experience.
I don't follow your logic.

I don't need these services badly at all. But since they exist, and are predatory, they "naturally" interpose themselves between the restaurants and their customers unless great effort is made by both the restaurants and all of their customers to avoid it.

It's not a question of wanting or not wanting the services. Some of these companies are so nasty and predatory that they are very, very hard to avoid.

I use the ErgoDox EZ (https://ergodox-ez.com/) with those sculpted caps that come without letters printed on them. I love this keyboard: it's one of my most prized possessions. I only wish they'd made one where the sculpted caps do have letters printed on them. This would make it possible for other persons in my household to use my keyboard.
The restaurants have this option, and I frankly have no idea why they don't pass the entire cost of delivery onto the customer. I'm happy to pay a delivery fee, though not everyone will, but the restaurant can strike a balance -- they can choose to raise their prices in general, to fund some of the delivery cost from their direct-ordering and in-person traffic. That's what they're doing anyway, just not being explicit about it.

Read the order closely.

> “Purchase Price” means the menu price of an online or phone order. Such term excludes taxes, gratuities, and any other fees that may make up the total cost to the customer of an online order.

Nowhere does it say they can't charge customers a huge app/delivery fee.

Ask HN: A reliable way (SaaS or in-house) to scrape public LinkedIn posts?
Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable way to scrape public LinkedIn data, more specifically making a search for certain keywords. The UI is so terrible that I am sick of doing this manually and would be happy to pay money to someone to solve this problem (if only LinkedIn took my money and offered a decent API or no-bullshit UI).

I could spend ages and build my own solution using Selenium (it seems easier to just run a real browser to evade their bot-detection systems) but I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem so I wonder, is there a company out there that provides such a service for a reasonable fee?

Thanks!
The problem with showing a $10 delivery fee on top is that it drops conversion rates by a lot.

But by increasing the prices of each menu item by 20% (to cover the app's cut) and having a palatable $3.99 delivery fee (so the total cost to the customer is the same), you can increase sales.

Amazon and other online retailers figured this out a long time ago. Moving some of the shipping fees into the price of the product can boost sales.
