It'll be interesting to watch this play out. As someone who eats way more fast food than he should(once a week on avg), I've noticed this big time.

I was in Savannah this summer and had to go to 3 different places to find one even serving. So many places had one employee taking orders and cooking, both. Even Chik Fil A only had 2 people working, and a 45 minute wait.

The BK near me, open til 12, has totally random hours, and is often closed by 7. The Arby's is staffed by people who give food first and act weird when you stare because you need to pay still. Corporate? They don't care. I've tried to contact BK twice about a gross overbilling - they just don't care and don't respond. The credit card company said they never even replied to their inquiries.

It's all cheap food, and I don't blame the workers at all. Fast food work is awful. I'm just curious how all of this is going to end. People aren't going to pay 8 dollars for a big mac, and people aren't going to work at McD for minimum wage.
I really wanted the M1 upgrade story to be a slam dunk, but it seems like docker on arm64 is a real thorn of incompatibility and poor performance with amd64 images.

I can’t say I’m surprised… they probably aren’t too happy to have enthusiasts data mining their high profile internet service.
Ohh does WA respect time zones in searches?

A regular complaint I have with google is (simplified example) converting EDT to MST. Google will “helpfully” correct me and convert EDT to MDT instead, which is explicitly not what I asked for. It’s stupid (I can usually figure it out on my own) but that would be a huge win for me.
The rule, as I understand it, is to avoid editorializing/putting a spin on it/misleading people. Not fixing grammatical errors. But I could be wrong.

Musk Asks Twitter: Should I Sell 10% of My Tesla Stock?
It’s about 40% less which is probably how you’d typically describe it. (Of course going from about 9 to 15 would be a 60% raise.) Sloppy wording.
Here's a specific example about the value crypto can create. 20x higher savings rate on a US dollar deposit.

My CapitalOne savings account pays 0.4%; you can open an account with ZeFi today and get 7% - 20 times more - with the same ACH in/out you're used to.[0] If you go full crypto and stay on-chain, you can find the USDC coin - a 1:1 stable coin - paying interest above 12% at many DEXes[1]. The USDC coin is like a mutual fund, it has extremely liquid high quality holdings, is audited, and is exchangeable 1:1 for actual US Dollars at any time [2].

Even better, some of these options let you keep control of your assets (non-custodial).

Because of this, it's inherently obvious to me that the US banks will be completely disrupted by crypto; in a good way for us consumers.

Roman slaves, including in Herculaneum, were chattel; they could be bought and sold, and their children were born into slavery. Their owners could break up their marriages with impunity simply by selling them or their spouse to a different household.

Aisopos was also a chattel slave, but he lived 600 years earlier, in a very different culture from that of Herculaneum; consider the difference between your own circumstances and the circumstances of domestic servants 600 years ago in Russia.

Herculaneum did not have very much social mobility; it was a society with much more persistent stratification than our own. Half of Herculaneum's citizens (the most privileged 20%) were freedmen, but most of the wealthy citizens were the great-grandchildren of wealthy citizens, and the great majority of people born enslaved died in slavery. Freedmen and often even their children were ineligible for most political offices. Throughout Italy, 80% of decurions had no slave ancestry at all, any number of generations back. (I'm not sure what the number was in Herculaneum.)

To liberals, enslaving someone is itself ill treatment and abuse, because we consider freedom to be the birthright of every human being, and its denial to amount to ill treatment. So we consider the idea of slavery without ill treatment and abuse to be a contradiction in terms. Even if a slave is not being beaten, raped, berated, or worked to death in a mine, they are being deprived of many of the most precious things in life by the very nature of slavery.
The Pinephone is just like every other phone in this respect. The baseband runs a closed blob that talks to the SIM and can send arbitrary SMSes of its own accord.

There are no viable fully open source phones in existence today, particularly the baseband.

The more practical question is around whether those binary blobs can take over your OS, not just do things behind its back. This is what sets apart devices like the Pinephone and Apple M1 Macs (which make an effort to isolate blobs from the main OS running on the AP) from typical Android phones and Intel PCs (which have blobs in hyper-privileged positions that have full access to the entire system).

Yes, I'm putting Apple M1 machines on a similar level as the Pinephone in this respect. How well designed a device is from a security/privacy perspective is tangential to whether the manufacturer markets themselves as an open source friendly company. It turns out Apple have done a great job making sure even their own blobs aren't allowed to take over the system. Once you run you own OS on an M1 machine, you're in a similar security position as on a PinePhone (though not exactly the same; M1s run more blobs, e.g. the display controller, so in principle a colluding set of malicious blobs could do more damage that way, but they still wouldn't be able to directly compromise your OS's execution).

I'm in the USA. Worked for McDonalds starting as a junior in high school and through college. It was a great job for a young kid, I learned a lot about business and restaurant operations. Pay wasn't super, but it was spending money. Never intended to be the sort of job to support a family.
When I worked at McDonald's in Canada, it also was a hard job, and seen as a good early employer... because it showed you were capable/useful. It was "hard" in that you need to get used to the beat of things, then it becomes sort of fun. But the schedule was no good. Pay was the same as other restaurants (like 6-7$/h back then).
>However, if each individual pays for the entirety of their own health-care costs, then it is far less obvious what actions should be taken.

This doesn't exist in the nature we find modern civilization in. You pay for others health, one way or another. We either pay for it sooner and reap the benefits of people being able to work, have families, money, or you pay for it with poverty, crime, "blood". You also pay for it with driven yet disadvantaged people not being able to rise to positions that use their abilities. Example: Students.

Health is inherent to humans. To be human at all is to have health and medical requirements. Cloud services are not a requirement of your very existence.

Surely the miners tried to not die, but, being enslaved, they were under the command of people who didn't care if they died or not. Many kinds of mining have historically had very high fatality rates; even 300 years ago the mita to Potosi was basically a death sentence.
... and that is also extremely bad advice. There is very wide variability in how nicotine addiction affects different people. Some people can quit after a pack-a-day habit and have no problems. Some people have trouble with getting off a pack-a-week habit.

Someone who is having extreme difficulty quitting smoking could benefit from working with a doctor to discuss quit-smoking aids or even seeing a therapist to work through their addiction.

No shit, the person needs to "just stop". Way to point out the obvious. Most people don't have a "just stop" button.

IDK, maybe you're just bad at giving advice. Maybe you should just stop.

EDIT: this is seriously an article on The Onion in the making. "Nation wakes up to random forum poster telling them to 'just eat less'. Obesity epidemic ends overnight." The proof is in the pudding here. Telling people "just eat less" is shitty advice.
You appear to be confused by survivorship bias. Look back 10, 20 & 30 years ago. You'll find many other tech companies which underperformed, or completely failed. There was no reliable way to predict at the time that Apple and Microsoft would do especially well. Some long term investors who guessed right got very wealthy, but that was mostly just luck.
More I read about these measurements, the more I fail to understand.

Supply and demand in the labor market is a two way street.
It can't be like that. I have discussions with vendors sometimes and the first question I ask - if something lapses and we weren't paying attention - you won't cut our service right?

I think too, in most cases, people would rather run over than cut service.

Also how would such a system work? Let's say you sign up for some API and what, set your billing limit to 500 requests per day. Let's say you're now hitting fabulous numbers / signups - but suddenly you start hitting that 500. If that shuts off your signups or what have you, you're typically going to be worse off than if you just pay the overage bill.

I know it sucks, but the first time you pay your overage is probably your last.
Irrational in what sense? I can, indeed, claim that NFTs have value to even a purely rational actor, if I'm allowed to ascribe self-determination to that actor.

Particularly, I think it's important to delineate whether 'rationality' allows for arbitrary actions, decisions, and desires. I do include these qualities in my notion of rationality, so long as the actor can rationalize the phenomena to themselves (even if this rationalization is based on nothing more than their ability to do so).

Given this notion of value and rationality, yes: I can very easily allow for NFTs ('useless' though they are) having value.

Do you mean 'rational' in terms of 'every action or desire is reducible to some unknown deductive logic'? In which case, I agree that everyone is somewhat irrational and furthermore that nobody could ever be rational. 'Rational' in the game theory sense? In which case, I see no reason to say that everyone is irrational instead of allowing for the mathematical notion imperfectly capturing reality.
Roman culture considered pity and sympathy to be weaknesses and obedience to be a virtue. Hunger strikes would not have been very effective, and we don't have any evidence of them having been used in Classical times.
philg's writing is deeply ironic and can rarely be taken at face value. For example, the title "Stoking coronapanic is a good way to destroy traditional religion?" is basically pointing out the correlation between corona restrictions and the decline in attendance. He's not claiming this is intentional, the snark comes from him noting that if somebody were to design a policy to reduce churchgoing, doubling down on corona restrictions would be a great way to do it.
A lot of it has to do with management practices for low wage workers in the US. They aren't treated fairly. Part of the reason why this sector is struggling to hire in the US right now isn't just because of pay: it's the fact that you get treated poorly by management. Better paying jobs that aren't as grueling opened up during the so-called "great resignation" and tons of former low-wage workers have stepped in to fill those roles.
I specifically said:

> ...that is 'downloadable' and 'right-click-saved'

That does not mean all NFTs. There are some that are not 'downloadable' and have more utility than others.
> Dumb question: how do chip makers predict their roadmap?

Chipmakers don't always get it right. Past chip shortages have generally been transitory, and the punishment for overzealous buildout in response to those shortages would have been a ton of spent capex with a long recovery duration. Neither equity investors nor company executives like to lay out the kind of money needed for a new fab because it is a risk today for a reward that may or may not present itself years from today.

Chipmakers don't know the demand picture in the future, and they don't always execute the roadmap as predicted. If they did, we wouldn't have shortages today, and Intel wouldn't have delayed 10nm for so many years.

Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but it's certainly not dumb.

> If they know they’ll be able to do still finer etching in 4 years, what’s stopping them from doing it now?

They can't get the machines, for one. There's a substantial lead time for an EUV machine and ASML only keeps enough inventory to smooth out its delivery timeline. These are gigantic machines and they require much labor and expense to ship and install.

Also, remember that not every chip attempted is a chip made. As years pass, research and experience allow companies to get a higher yield out of a particular process. Higher yield means less cost per unit and more units produced per day. They won't roll out a product that is uneconomical to fab, and they won't roll out a product for which there is no chance in hell of meeting customer demand due to low yield.

> How can you not be able to do something today, but still know fairly accurately you’ll be able to do it in future?

Semiconductor hardware is one of the most high-inertia spaces in the technology sector. It's totally different from the startup world where you can build a company on little more than colorful tank-tops, ramen, and a pad of foam in your friend's dorm room. Semiconductor fabs take years to build, and the power and water infrastructure that underpins them is essential for them to function. This was the case two decades ago when Katherine Derbyshire wrote this[0] article, and it's even more the case now.

what's interesting to note is that retail vibrancy seems to have a direct inverse relationship to square footage; it is much easier to get high utilization out of a smaller space and thus also easier to be profitable.

I've lived in both NYC and Seattle. Older neighborhoods predominantly with retail like the 25-foot storefronts or small corner stores common in NYC and older parts of Seattle have lots of business thriving, many of them in low-margin industries. Newer Seattle developments have restaurant spaces sized to fit 100-200 people, which is pretty hard to fill outside of maybe a lunch or dinner rush, and those tend to cycle out restaurants and stores like no tomorrow.
> In my opinion, that's bonkers. To make one's own identity and purpose so deeply based in the inferiority of another group is fucking deranged.

That’s how Chick-fil-A is in the US. Staff is very well paid, well trained, offered support for college. Customers gush about how well run the places are.

And Acela is the useful Amtrak train. Outside the NE corridor, Amtrak is often many hours late. It's really only used by people afraid of flying, railfans (like me), and Amish people. That's just not a big enough customer base to support a train service.

Their service has degraded so much in the last 10 years that even I am considering never riding Amtrak again outside the NE corridor; it's just not fun any more.
A lot of it is also the American public being selfish and inconsiderate of others. Even at a low wage, I'm sure the job would be more bearable and perhaps even enjoyable if the employees were not treated so poorly by the public and their coworkers.

A lot of services used by middle class and even upper middle class people essentially depend on wage differentials.

Compare the level of home personal services that people in the US have compared to Southeast Asia for example. American do use gig services and tradespeople, but even lawn services, housecleaners, etc. aren't all that common. I use the latter two as lightly as possible and I view them as something of a luxury/indulgence. And certainly people mostly don't have personal chefs and that sort of thing.

It's not that hard to imagine even fast food becoming more of a luxury good--although something like my local pizza place that I maybe go to every few weeks seems to be mostly high schoolers so maybe there's still a lower wage demographic that seems reasonable to be lower.

But, yeah, I mostly get takeout there because I'm lazy and if prices doubled, I'd just make more at home.

this is too reductive, there are entire generations of people, plural, that don't draw the line at "I can't hold it". People said the same thing about mp3s and digital music, the people they were criticizing have children now. both of these recipient generations don't care.

but to say more about what you are missing - without drawing a different conclusion just adding an extra variable - is to look at how issuers act. In the trading card world, many series have continual mints from the issuer with no transparency on the supply. People haphazardly buy sets and hope they get a card that has been found to be rare, while the issuer gets continual revenue. (just describing one behavior for comparative purposes)

what is typical of NFT collectibles - which, by the way, is just a subset of the NFT market and is analogous to trading cards, distinct from the one-off art pieces in headlines that have formed most opinions - is that the issuer mints one set. and the community discovers the rare attributes on their own, within hours. in this model, its the same pool of money as the trading card communities would have, except it pools towards a known quantity of collectibles, compared to the same pool of money always buying at MSRP from an infinite issuance and hoping for the best. that leans towards rationale behavior, at least at the same standard as trading card collectors. for the issuer, they get royalties from the NFTs changing hands in perpetuity (at least when traded on the marketplace smart contracts which allow that). and for the industry, there is never a backlog of authenticators so they're extinct now. that doesn't mean the prices are sustainable. but that standard is also being separately applied to NFTs as an entire concept, when such nuance is applied to trading cards: some cards have continual interest in any market and 99% of others are ignored forever.

you can still have the same conclusion, I'm not here to play devil's advocate, I'm just here to say "hm that's not what's going on".

Note that “jazz” without further context is referring to over 7 decades of styles.

You absolutely can dance to jazz, depending on the song and rhythm.

Jazz is not random, nor pseudorandom. (That would make it a lot easier for me in my solos, but also would ultimately make jazz a very boring genre). It may sound like that to a new ear - jazz is not particularly accessible compared to other genres. But for the most part it follows forms and has a regular structure.

It’s a living, mostly ephemeral thing. It’s a live conversation - listen to the interactions between the players, it’s not static.

I’m on mobile at the moment but here are some good songs/albums:

If everyone is buying NFTs because they believe the price is going to go up, and they tell themselves that the reason the price is going up is because NFTs are useful, but in reality NFTs are not, that is irrational. So it allows them to have monetary value while contributing nothing useful to the economy, and in fact causing people harm.

It is possible NFTs do have value in the sense of being good, but them being priced highly does not give us useful signal there.
