I don't think gig economy is working for the hard-working workers. We were doing Instacart delivery of groceries until we found out that they punished workers for demanding -- get this -- a livable wage and common decency [0][1]. Doordash has been caught stealing tips too [2]. All of them (Uber, Lyft etc) spent $200m to ensure that their workers would not get a living wage and health benefits [3].

With every passing month, I'm realizing that the gig economy works only when the worker class is exploited, and the exploitation is opaque from the customer.

I forgot they said that (I read this when it was posted a couple days ago), thanks for noting that.

But I still would encourage even a 1s “clean” shutdown. You don’t need to wait for any of this fancy cleanup, but it’s really nice to finish your writes.

Fun story: for Preemptible VMs we started (in Alpha / EAP) with no soft shutdown just to see whether people could handle it (so just immediate power off). Turns out, that if your box is running apt-get upgrade at the time or anything like that, you easily corrupt your boot disk. So, we struggled between “a few seconds” (5, 15) and the “about 30, which is how long a GCE instance takes to boot”. That’s how we ended up with 30: we wouldn’t more than double regular instance creation times at the tail. Nowadays we boot to ssh in 15 seconds!

If you don’t reuse your state, none of this matters. But I’d guess that even just getting to the point of RST’ing the the connections is valuable (so that the clients know to take action, rather than wait a while).

> In both scenarios, no free will exists.

Not by your definition, no. It does by mine. As I have repeatedly remarked in various places in this discussion, please stop getting hung up on that term; I purposely did not use it at all in my description of the two scenarios in order to avoid that.

> I didn't trigger my brain processes, only observed them. Neither did you.

Your brain processes are part of you, just as my brain processes are part of me. So to say "you" didn't trigger your brain processes is nonsense.

> if I chose to kill myself, and you stop me, and I later thank you for stopping me from killing myself, is that difference important?

You mean the difference that you thanked me afterwards? As opposed to telling me you wished I hadn't stopped you? Yes, that difference is important, because it tells me whether or not my choice to stop you was the right one.

However, your implication that my reasoning "fails" in a situation like this is incorrect. I have never claimed that respecting other people's free choice is the only value, or that it should automatically override all other values. One can always find cases where different values clash, and there is no way to resolve any such case without violating some value. So pointing out that my viewpoint is vulnerable to this proves nothing. So is yours. So is anyone's.

When it comes trusting corporates vs government the choice is actually quite clear - if they have faith in democracy then they know the government is accountable to them, then obviously they can only trust them more. You are right though that a healthy distrust of the government in power is essential for a healthy democracy.

What I dislike about a culture of tipping is that in effect it's a transfer of wealth from the generous+agreeable customer to the greedy+disagreeable+shameless customer.

I still advocate tipping since it's a nice thing to do and probably improves your happiness, but I think it's healthier in the context of a no-tipping culture where wages are sufficient and baked into the price of the service.
Why not both? Many people would still want to be able to tip for good service even if the employees are paid adequately by their employer, and most of those customers expect the employer to not touch that money at all.

A bunch of WHO info was leaked recently:

1) Leaked tapes from WHO science meetings discussed the CCP being too slow to release corona info, just like SARS-1, but the Chinese government should still be "protected." It was vague what protected meant, but it sounded political.

2) The earliest scientist who said corona wasn't from the Wuhan lab was ... a European WHO scientist associated with the Wuhan lab.

You don't have to wonder, we've seen this time and time again with virtually every open community. Without tireless moderation, the swamp grows.

In other words, the majority of people who use free speech platforms have already answered your question: they've shown themselves unable to co-exist with (a much larger number of) reasonable folks and were kicked out.

Totally. Art and meaning doesn't come from "efficiency". And try stressing a totally "efficient" system - one which has no contingency. Take the uk school system, NHS or social care right now. These are systems that an "austerity" government has tried to make "efficient" by cutting down to bare bones. Add in a stressor like a pandemic? Things break very quickly. Same with individual mental health. We're here for a limited time. Enjoy it rather than optimising all the time. That doesn't mean sit on the sofa, it just means have balance.

> What I dislike about a culture of tipping is that in effect it's a transfer of wealth from the generous+agreeable customer to the greedy+disagreeable+shameless customer.

No it’s not. You would not tip any less if you knew there were other people at the restaurant who had no intention of tipping.

It’s strictly a lost potential income to the server when they land a cheap customer. It may not actually cost them anything at all if it’s not busy and they were able to take on the additional customer without losing a potentially higher paying customer slot.
There's no obligation to tip. It's not theft. It's only considered to be a loss of money due to the taxman responding to a lack of reporting over tips.

We have a similar thing in Australia which is quite successful https://theconversation.com/au
They had moderation. They were not free speech as in "any ideology of opinion goes". They were "arbitrary radical right wing speech goes". Free speech would mean aggressive communists could participate freely too. It was not the case, anything left was cut away.

Their moderation was to show post to 5 users and go with their decision. It was guaranteed to create bubble.

We should not use "free speech" as euphemism for "arbitrary racist, arbitrary inciting right wing speech". Free speech means those opposing right wing are equally unmoderated.
I think I'd probably tip more.

The Passion Economy Stack

"Healthy SF medical coverage is also mandatory"

I don't think Healthy SF coverage is mandatory. From what I've read, businesses have two other options: provide a regular healthcare plan, or set aside a fund to reimburse employee healthcare costs as they arise. Restaurants usually go for that last option.

"usually passed onto patrons as a 4% fee on their bill, though this isn’t dictated by statute"

I find the last part of what you wrote interesting. It's true that this isn't dictated by statute. But it would be surprising and unusual for a statue to dictate that a business must make its customers pay a specific business cost.

Of course, there are instances where businesses are responsible for collecting taxes from their customers (notably sales taxes and recycling fees) but these are explicitly taxes on consumers that the business is collecting for the government's convenience, not taxes on the business that the business is tricking consumers into paying, by making them believe they're responsible for them.
It is.

Prices for basic services are lower in tipping cultures, ceteris paribus, since staff wages are a component of price, and staff wages are lower in a tipping culture since they make part of their income from tipping.

Hence, the cheap customer benefits to the maximum in a tipping culture since the prices they're paying are artificially lower as they've been subsidised by tippers. That's why it's a transfer of wealth from the generous to the cheap.

It's got little to do with whether the generous decide to tip more in the presence of the cheap (although that may be a small part of it), it's about the indirect and hidden subsidisation through service price.
Also Nordic countries.

Cheat Sheet for Linear Algebra
An incentive to keep track of a car history is not really under discussion, since it's already happening right now. It's just really cumbersome right now and using very old tech (stamps in a books, etc). It's all made up of bits and pieces in every way.

When you buy a car right now, you expect it to come with at least a maintenance log. So that part is not an unknown.

Everything I mention already exists, it's just that it would be way easier and more complete when it would be handled by a 'standard protocol', ie a blockchain.

The same can be said for supply chain applications. But the second hand car industry has even more trust issues. Selling a car for $8000 and getting around $2000 extra because you can prove it has a proper history is not fantasy.

> Regardless, this is besides the point: all a competitor has to do is post some garbage and point to it, and boom, you're dead. That's not ok.

That is not what happened however. That is quite manipulative framing spread by Parler.

What happened was that Amazon itself identified those few dozen posts and asked Parler to remove them. Parler did not done that and claimed it is difficult for them. Amazon is not Parlers competitor. Amazon gave Parler plenty of time to remove those posts. The issue was that Parler was unwilling to do so, because they whole thing was to be safe place of exactly that sort of comments.

Twitter does not have too good moderation, but they are not refusing to take down inciting posts on principle. They did regularly took down accounts and tweets in the past. There is difference between not doing it perfectly and refusing to even try.
