Sometimes those per diems are flat rate & direct paid, so whatever you don’t spend, you get to pocket yourself.

And if limited per day, spending less at the airport can mean spending more elsewhere.

(Non-USian) Does the IRS treat these expenses as taxable benefits? Even Paying 30% tax eats into a $27 meh meal vs packing your own.
Me too, apparently some people cannot differentiate between Google applications and Internet standards.

So bricklaying it’s basically an ‘artisanal’ type of product not a mass production type of thing that is ill suited for automation anyway.

The article links to the MULE product (which was an evolution or pivot of their 15yr attempt at making a traditional bricklaying robot) makes more sense as it takes advantage of the lifting power of machines and uses much larger/longer bricks that would otherwise be too heavy to pick up by humans while accelerating the process.

This is much like why pigeonholing AI into traditional cars is more difficult than say having a fleet of cars region wide which all talk to each other and coordinate movements with roads and crosswalks that are also designed for automated cars.
I would be interested to know if there is feedback in the McD process chemistry loop.

A fun part of cooking by hand is dealing with the quirks of fresh produce. These once-living plants and meats are inconsistent enough to require decisions on the fly, mid cook. One cut is 50g thicker at one end than the other, one parsnip is 10% more dense at the top, this cod retained more salt than yesterday and requires less seasoning, etc.

Of course this kind of cooking is miles from what happens in fast food, but there’s a reason the burger station is the most senior position. Cooking patties properly requires skill to get them crispy, fully cooked, but still juicy. Hot damn I’m hungry now.

You're receiving an equivalent amount of cash. If you want to invest it, you can. If not, you're still getting a consistent amount of money for four years (or more if stock goes up).
That is not correct. The em unit has always behaved with respect to the inherited font size. If your body has font-size: 16px; then a child with font-size: 1.5em; would appear the same as using 24px for the value. This can recur with nesting, so that 24 could become 36 with another layer added. The rem (root em) unit solves this “problem” as it’s always relative to the document root (usually the font-size you’ve set to html/body)
Almost everywhere in Japan is accessible without a car. Car-ownership doesn't make sense for most people.
"I know why"

What's the "why"? Airports are infrastructure and shouldn't be corporations that maximize profits at all costs. As the airport operator it should be pretty easy to create a well-functioning market. Just avoid given to many businesses inside the airport to the same operator and make sure they compete to the death.
I have been through a lot of airports around the world and the US ones are mostly pretty nice and diverse in character. Definitely no worse than Europe on average in my experience, and I’d argue a bit nicer. The major airports in Asia are consistently relatively nice, though the drop-off to second-tier airports can be a bit extreme.

I’m not sure how you could come to the conclusion that the US has terrible airports. LaGuardia, the subject of the article, is famously among the worst airports in the US. It stands out because it is so notoriously awful, and travelers avoid it for that reason. It is also really, really old.
Why on earth would anyone want to fly in the scenario you describe? It's only because Covid isn't that lethal that all these mandates and coercion are needed to get people to avoid or be immunized against it.
Incredibile timing as I'm working on my own language as well (just started a week ago) and I'm literally starting from 0. So happy that in just a week I can understand at least half of this thread. Your project looks a bit too wild for me but I'm sure there's plenty I can learn there so thank you so much for sharing!
I can really resonate with you, having the same thought process on working and dedicating time to own problems in tech after achieving financial independence,but not sure how it is going to go. Day job makes me tired and not sure how motivated i will be after achieving certain amount of money targeted to solve problems what i want.
What evidence is there?

My guess would be that it's a side-effect of evolution, in that play is helpful for the young and is driven by it being fun. Doesn't seem like adults playing is necessarily beneficial to survival, I'm curious what the evidence to the contrary would be.

Fwiw I don't think that going to a non-top MBA is generally worth it either... It's very expensive and employer sponsorship isn't that common.

But I'm not surprised to learn that most MBAs don't regret going since it's basically 2 years of partying with an internship in between (during which you mainly party). My partner's 2 years in bschool were 2 of the best years of my life.
Oh my goodness I misread this as “modals” and was expecting a complex academic treatise on dialog boxes.
That’s only partially accurate (you’re right that it makes markets look more saturated than they are.) A lot of the time it occurs just from simple acquisitions. For instance, InBev has acquired quite a few beer brands, but they don’t consolidate because a lot perform very strongly in their home market, and consolidating them all under a single brand would create far too many skus for any customer to understand, and create confusion.
Oh, yeah! You're right. In between trying to convert from MBs to TBs, I forgot that I was looking at the day scale, not year.

1.2 Exabytes a year is a lot.
The company knew the problem. I had a discussion with the manager of another team, and she was well aware that I/we were payed well under market prices. They just banked on the fact that to leave it is a lot of work, and some people will avoid that. New hires had market lvl salaries. I could leave and come back, but why would I do that in a company that clearly didn't value me.
Yeah, I forgot about that, it is just a kernel that happens to be POSIX compatible.
> There is mounting evidence that people with naturally acquired immunity will not significantly benefit from further vaccination

It's a shame that the mainstream, public health narrative unquestioningly rejects prior infection as an alternative. All substantial evidence points to the contrary.

That said, identifying those who've legitimately had a prior infection is rather difficult. There are no "I had a PCR-confirmed infection" passports. A large and unlikely fraction of the population believes they were infected, with endless anecdotes about illnesses at the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020. Furthermore, vaccination really shouldn't pose any undue risk to this population.

But, yeah, it's yet another unforced error by public health officials (or at least the media interpreting and relaying their guidance) to outright reject this argument.
Nearly as old is quite a fuzzy statement. The reality is that Tokyo only had a single line (Ginza) until the mid sixties and started operating in the end 1920s, period during which NYC subway grew several lines. Additionally, the first subway line in NYC still in operation today is the BMT Jamaica Line, with first trains running in 1885.

So actually, NYC rail is much older than Tokyo's. Could it be cleaner? definitely.
Probably because most of this infrastructure is paid for and built by the State and city governments. It isn’t Federal jurisdiction.
Also, a successful business tends to immediately create jobs (at least part time, if not full employees) to help it grow. People who denigrate business and the art of making profit - which truly is the art of fulfilling the wants of others - are so truly, intensely naive.
Agree. We see this a lot at clients whom we work with. While I agree with data mesh on a philosophical/ principles level, at the implementation level, it creates a division between data “haves” (those who have the engineering know-how to write parallel processing jobs) and data “have nots”.

End result - implementation of data mesh might deepen the divide between data "haves" and the data "have nots".

A better way could be to implement Trino, Starburst, or Tetmon EdgeSet (where I am co-founder of), to realise the vision of data mesh.
Dunno, but people are still into competitive weightlifting even though the forklift has been around for over a hundred years.
climate change is NOT the largest threat no matter how many times you repeat it.

Astroids, suns exploding, super vulcanos etc these are actual potential extinction level events. Things that have actually been demonstrated to happen without human intervention. “No known” is what you are looking for. There are no known demonstrated consequences of climate change that we dont know how to deal with.

More people are saved each year by human technology than die from it.
Are CS applications surging too? What about other fields? It seems like more people are applying to college in general.

Both my current and previous university, year after year keep having record numbers of applicants. And IIRC the CS program is getting more and more competitive.

I'm not sure about liberal-arts though.
I suppose it all depends on the abstractions you make and how well those abstractions hold in the real world. Humans of course make abstractions but many of these are done subconsciously.

Simulating brick laying might be able to be done in a controlled environment, is it possible to make it low cost enough and accurate enough for all general purpose brick laying situations? Probably, given enough investment we could get closer. Is ironing out all the nuances cost effective? I don't know.

We can definitely simulate a driving environment but I given the recent struggles of self driving cars I don't think I would say that we are at the point where we've solved the problem of actually driving them in everyday situations.
I also found the series to be quite thought provoking, despite being a bit long winded.

Though I disagree that "it didn't need to be written". There was definitely some anti-vaccine undertones, but IMO the real criticism was of totalitarianism in general.

Through that lens, perhaps you would agree that it was a worthwhile piece?

When the Jones' are using their energy-sucking teleporter to travel instantly to work and taking summer vacations to the Moon, when their kitchen is fitted with exotic self-cleaning metamaterials and they tolerate no natural discomfort in their lives, I would think that their neighbors would not be caught dead one step behind them. You can achieve happiness with less - but you can achieve happiness today with much less than your number as well, and most people measure themselves against their neighbors, not some theoretical absolute level of energy usage.

I don't think they need to be. At least not within reasonable bounds.

There's certainly an interesting discussion to be had surrounding individual freedoms vs the common good in a pandemic, but I'm not sure as to what extent we can even have those discussions while an embarrassing number of people feel that just being asked to wear a covering over their face in public spaces is an intolerable violation of their personal freedoms. When even the smallest requirements intended to protect the public's health are treated as if they were the harshest forms of oppression imaginable there simply isn't any room left for debate.

Still, for the population that believes a degree of concession can be reasonable and appropriate under such extreme conditions as a global pandemic I think it is possible to strike a good balance between individual freedom and individual and collective responsibility. I think we can work to protect freedoms while also insisting on some measures to help reduce the spread of a virus.

It doesn't have to be an either-or situation at least.
You might be surprised how little of the US’ (or any country’s) infrastructure is used to generate money.

You also might be surprised how little of the US’ tax revenue is used to support that infrastructure.

This resonates with me. I also changed careers from law to tech. I went to law school because I wasn't sure what I wanted to do and got a full scholarship at a state school, so it was really the easy path. Looking back, I'd say at least 50% of my law school class went to law school because of similar career uncertainty. I imagine many of them are in the stereotypical: trapped in a middling legal career with a pile of debt following them around. There were a tiny minority who were truly passionate about law.

Fortunately, I found time during law school to get into software and robotics and transitioned into a tech career within about 18 months after graduation. My short legal career as a corporate M&A attorney was more than enough to convince me to take a risk and try something new. I never did any litigation work, but corporate legal work involves plenty of going through the motions - often late at night or on weekends to meeting some arbitrary timing imposed by a client. I was extremely fortunate to have a supportive partner, no kids, etc., so making a somewhat radical career move didn't involve all that much risk.

I have a few other friends who also moved from law to software and have done quite well. It could be selection bias, but I do think some of the discipline and diligence required to do well in law school translated nicely into coding and related technical disciplines.
you are arguing against one type of bias by introducing another. This is not science this is ideology.
>what of iTunes encrypting local music files? Apple locked you out of your files by encrypting them and then offered to sell you the key -- sound familiar?

It's real choice. Even if they're all owned by the same company, the burrito place still offers burritos, the burger place still offers burgers, the pizza place still offers pizza, etc.

Offering everything at all the locations would be terrible, because you just can't cram that much into one tiny airport concession kitchen. And offering the same limited menu at all locations would also be terrible, because different people like to eat different things.

This is speaking from lots of experiencing working with and managing outsourced dev labor. I would say that your take seems intellectually lazy to me. Hiring is insanely hard, and adding timezones and language/culture hurdles only makes it harder.

> I did say something about Fauci. He's an expert no?

In a way that makes no sense as a counterargument. If I say you can fix your own car or get a mechanic to do it, there's no reason for you to name some famous mechanic you hate and act like I meant them.

I've thought about this too. It reminds me of the blog post Do the Real Thing^[1]. Too many people do everything except the goal they actually want to accomplish. While getting rich is not "easy" per se, it's an easy goal to set that won't get you any criticism from most people. Often times the loftier goals are not as clean cut and direct, and require serious amounts of introspection.
