But this is my point about them feeling obligated to help you. In Tokyo they are so strict about working. You cannot leave 5 seconds before lunch time and you can’t arrive 5 seconds after lunch time. If you ask the wrong person for assistance they may help you but they aren’t genuine about it. This is not the experience outside of Tokyo.

Definitely. I don't eat out much at home in part because I don't have a lot of options and I'm mostly fine with cooking myself. Five Guys-class stuff tends to be for places like airports or late night traveling when I don't have a lot of other decent alternatives. For a regular mid-price dinner in a city, some ethnic meal is probably my go-to option.

Burgers also just aren't a good actual takeout option. While takeout/delivery doesn't help any food, Indian/Chinese can usually tolerate it better than burgers. Chicken is another semi-regular go to for me; a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket is something like $5 and fried chicken works pretty well too.
I don't entirely agree.

I live in Australia which has a preferential voting system, and yet two parties dominate for the most part.

There are electoral-related reasons for this but also there are branding/marketing reasons that make it more likely that large parties continue to dominate.

It's easier for large brands (parties) to hold mind share. It's very hard for minor parties to build a brand built around anything other than opposition to specific things or outrage.
They had to do that legally. But that was only in the unpopular save the world stuff, I think the break out battle royale mode or later creative modes never had them.

Love to understand where are these workers went is it one of the following or a mix of things...

- Working now for Amazon, Door Dash, etc which offers flexible hours

- Some to more passed away due to Covid

- Some are scared to even go back to work

- All that unemployment (friend was making 1k a week off it for awhile) money changed people's attitudes towards working and or they saved/invested the money and still are living off of it. If this factor is the largest piece of the pie/puzzle i personally do not want to live in a society in which services that use to be available to readily available are no more cause huge chunks of people aren't working/govt is paying them to do nothing. Wasn't Ycombinator folks pushing for free money ... that didnt work out well for historically for other countries and now here in the US if this is the biggest factor in this puzzlie it's not working out for us (fast food is just the first in line to be negatively affected).

We have better technology (and thus immersion) now. It's a simple answer, but I think largely sufficient enough to explain why things may be quite different now.

The immersiveness that can be attained via modern high-end VR systems is simply not comparable to what we had a decade ago; it enables many more use cases and paradigms that wouldn't have felt usable, interesting, fun, or sometimes even particularly social in the past. To me at least, VR/AR seem like a pretty large medium shift, and I really expect them to stick around and become a large part of society.

Most of the time you get pressure from upper management to do layoffs or firings (or even random communication like promotions!) in a certain way. Part of being a good manager is pushing back on your boss and treating your employees with the respect they give the company.
Do you think he would try Cui in Peru? I ate a head, the thing is definitely a rat. That is part of the adventure! :)

The problem WA is attempting to address is nearly impossible: to trust WA as a reliable source of information, you have to be confident it will be able to answer the question you're asking. If you work in a specific problem space, you can probably know that, but even if WA does know your particular area, you likely know even better ways to answer your questions.

Putting it another way, it's too hard to know what WA knows and doesn't know. I alluded to this in a post I wrote back when WA first came out: https://gcanyon.wordpress.com/2009/06/07/bing-wolfram-alpha-... "As Alpha grows and adds new problem domains it will become more and more useful, but it will continue to be necessary to understand what it can and can’t do, and how to get it to divulge what it knows."
What is SPJ supposed to bring to this? Are they gonna throw a top end type system onto it or something? Nothing about this looks interesting at first blush.
It doesn't take much to be ~50 mins. I lived in Yayoi-cho. As a reference I could walk west from Shinjuku station and get to my apartment in 30 mins.

I worked in Aoyama. The closest station was Nakano-shimbashi on the Marunouchi line but it was better for me to take the Oedo line from Nishi-Shinjuku 5-Chome station. Walking to that station was ~15 mins. With waiting for the next train it was another 15 mins to Aoyama, then another 10 mins walk from the platform to the Office. So 40 mins total. That's only 10 mins short of your average.

Let's examine your premise: Apple acts in the best interest of the customer. In this light FaceID is a bug, not a feature. If somebody wants to get into your phone they don't even need to beat you up; they just have to restrain you, take your phone, point it at your face, and they're in.

With a decent password, the adversary has to at least use a rubber hose. More important, cops can't legally use a rubber hose but they can damn well take your phone and point it at your face with no repercussions.

Maybe. It depends if the wage increases are going to the buyers of your product or not. If the wage increases are indeed flowing to low-paid fast food workers and others in the same general category who eat a lot of fast food, then you can probably just increase the price of Quarter Pounders. If someone who doesn't eat Quarter Pounders is getting the money, not so much.
> The humans preparing and serving the food are the only weak link in the chain, and they’re treated as such.

I worked nights at a McDonalds about 4 years back (first year of university) in Canada. You are spot-on about them treating humans as the weakest link.

For instance, I noticed that every carton in the freezer contains an illustration of the item inside (in addition to names in English and French). My understanding is that they simply do not trust their workforce to be able to read the contents of the carton and will gladly slap an image on top to remove any unpredictability from the process.
same.energy is very interesting. It seems like it could be a good tool to quickly get inspiration.
It was on my daily bike commute into the city and was one road near the bridge (near the Vigie stop?) where it was just particularly tempting to jay walk.
You need to balance having an expert and not having an expert around. Having an expert around to quickly learn the basics is great, but you will never reach the same level as that expert without learning how to learn on your own. This is the key difference between people at higher levels, there are no experts that can teach you there so it all depends on how good you are at self learning.
We're in a weird world where it's hard to find roots and causes. All I know is that wages in the lower end are way up, and so are prices for -everything-. A simple minded person may link the two.

But I'm not going so far as to call the research wrong, as wage increases have been caused by a worker shortage and not legislation.
Google handles GMT and UTC but doesn't handle offsets from there and, frankly, it's understandable and I wouldn't bother either. What it does handle though is countries and their DST settings:

> My memories of the Good Old Days is that there are substantial economies of scale and economies of data in the search engine business.

That's probably still true, but the equipment is probably 100x (maybe more) cheaper, reasonable ranking algorithms are widely known, and I'm sure there are a dozen other reasons why starting a search engine today is easier than it was in the past.

> And for general instance, the best search engine is the most popular one because it has a bigger index.

Unless the big search engine has systematic flaws in certain domains that give new entrants a niche in which they can be competitive. Classic disruption opportunities.
University security teams (if they exist at all) have enough trouble enforcing security policies with university employees without having students setting up unauthorized devices. They don't want students running crappy vulnerable servers out of their dorm room, or pirating movies (the university gets a legal letter for that), or port scanning the network, or a whole host of other at best annoying things that aren't necessary to get an education. If you want to do that, rent your own infrastructure, or better yet practice that in a lab.

Besides the technical difficulties (trying to reverse engineer the modem internals and reimplement the firmware with no clear reference; likely encrypted and signed firmwares; etc) there's a good chance there's also legal issues.

If the hardware itself is capable of operating outside of its license (frequencies, modulations, etc), then various certifications from the FCC would likely be invalidated by replacing the firmware and it would become illegal to operate.

I don't believe suburbia promotes social isolation. In fact the opposite. At least in my experience most people living in a suburban neighborhood get to know their neighbors where as it's the stereotype that people in the city make it a point to not know any of their neighbors (except on Sesame Street). It might just by my anecdata but it fits my experience.

Note: I prefer a walkable city I think.

What do you mean "higher levels"? Is there some forbidden knowledge that must not be written down? Because if not, all levels have experts who can teach you.

A combination of periodic speed tests to multiple reliable endpoints and local netflow statistics are needed to understand network performance. It's relatively easy to set up things like librenms, cacti, and iperf hosted on a vps with dedicated throughput. There's a slew of open source and easily accessible software available.

Public speed tests are inaccurate at best, and very often downright misleading.

They're good enough for a quick test to see if you're online and a very rough indication of throughput. Even repeated tests to higher quality services though, like fast.com, are not a good benchmark.

Set up your own network monitoring stack - once you've built that, you have an anchor point for your home networks that you can riff on instead of being dependent on your isp's default setup.

In this case, you could track real-time performance of starlink and be able to trust the data without wondering if there's congestion between fast.com or speedtest.com servers and the local starlink ground station. If you can talk to the datacenter owners in your local fiber hotel where the starlink ground station connects to. They may have an iperf server, or allow you to host one there, giving you another test point when diagnosing an issue.
Overwhelm is a verb that is being used as incorrectly as a noun in this sentence. It can’t be the subject of the sentence since it is a verb. This isn’t about what seems more correct, or about an accepted although incorrect usage. If you have examples of it being used in this way please do point to them.

Otherwise, realize that this is your target market giving you very direct feedback.

Edit: I love that you are responding and open to feedback. But, again, the mistakes that people are mentioning are not trivial, nitpicks, or a matter of opinion. You are the only person that search can find who has ever used the phrase “there was overwhelm of”…
It's very favorable for lots of consumers who have made a different decision than you. I would go so far as to say that you are in the significant minority, and that doing what you want would be damaging and anti-consumer in the main.

To use my new favorite analogy, one should not be required to fully disassemble and evaluate their cars running gear in order to drive safely.
I mean, you're talking about a bit of a different thing here--something done by the operating system and hardware vendor.

So the answer would be "literally anything". Apple could push an update tomorrow that bricked your phone, turned it into a listening device, caused it to _only_ play that U2 album, etc. Ditto for Google (Android), Microsoft (Windows), etc.
Well, depending on what's inside the building, the concrete doesn't make a lot of difference.

> If I am vaccinated for chicken pox why do I have to worry if my friend is not vaccinated for it and gets it ?

Vaccines don't work like that. They give you a better chance of not getting something (chicken pox vaccine is 90% effective), and the rest of the vaccine's effectiveness is made up in scale (if everyone has 90% resistance, the virus has nowhere to "catch hold" and just disappears). Many people don't get that, and think vaccines should either be 100% effective or they shouldn't be used at all, or they don't understand that they only work well when they are applied at scale (which is why schools mandate many vaccines with few exceptions).

> his is the kind of stuff that happens in a communist country like North Korea

Or America in the 1950s and 1960s when they wanted to get rid of polio, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis, etc... It is crazy: America back then didn't care about these nut case concerns, they were just focused on getting the job done. What happened to this country?
1GW is roughly the output of one nuclear reactor (most plants have 2 or more) for one hour.

There is a story, which may be apocryphal, that in the late 16th century Sir Walter Raleigh brought potatoes into the gardens and court of Queen Elizabeth.

Once they'd grown and were harvested, the cooks having no familiarity with the plant, promptly discarded the tubers, and instead used the stalks & leaves in various dishes.

As a result, at a banquet featuring this wonderful new plant, everyone was violently ill, resulting in the potato being banned from the court.
This! I don't know how they incentivize it. Maybe it's just culture and volunteering but there are so many neighborhoods in SF that really need to be cleaned up and would be cleaned up in Tokyo but aren't here because "not my responsibility"? Everyone assumes it's the city's. Maybe it is? Maybe it should be? Maybe it shouldn't? I kind of wish there was some other way to make it happen.
ASML recently sent out a memo about "low retention."
Wow! I did cause them to change: now they flag stories, but they also delete the title from the story, like here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29134228 . Now you only see [flagged] in the title. That makes my little exercise here much less useful. That's also a lesson: crawlers can be made ineffective by slight changes in the input.

There are significant regulatory issues involved. In principle it's possible (see osmocombb), but the legal hurdles around actually having user-controlled basebands in a shipping product are significant.

Of course, nothing says the baseband couldn't be open source, and even if codesigning is involved, the manufacturer could sign verifiable builds that can be reproducibly built. That should solve all regulatory concerns while still allowing users to inspect the baseband firmware for flaws or backdoors.

But, of course, no actual baseband manufacturer cares about that.
I had a bike stolen recently; an authentic classic Schwinn cruiser, all steel frame with a fresh pair of tubes and white walls. I live in a safe area with a tight community, but there is access to a main road. I can't describe the feeling of being alienated, knowing someone watched my house enough to wait until my bicycle was unattended for the 10 minutes they needed to steal it.

It puts you in this weird state of, "well, what would I do when confronted with the thieves" or wondering if I even wish ill of the person who stole my bike, or think about what the appropriate punishment would/should be. Maybe they were in a tough situation, maybe they were just a thievin' type of individual. When I think about it in terms of cost, it's hard to be angry about a cost so small. When I think about the value lost though, it's a different story. A bike is an object that becomes such an intimate and integral part of your life that when it disappears it is like losing a pet or a friend, or the person you sit next to on the bus every day.

I wouldn't hurt the person who stole my bike, and I probably wouldn't shout at them, I'd just want to hear from them what brought them to that point, just to put those feelings at rest. God damn I miss that bike :/
We're rapidly running out of time.
Where does this idea of “Never intended to be the sort of job to support a family.” come from? Half or more of the people I see working at any given fast food chain are adults, which makes sense considering they need some mature people around and people to work during the day when kids are at school. What about those people?

While I agree that quitting should be the way, to add to the rest of the comments, there are also other forces at play like the length of your tenure at your previous company, references from previous employers, reason for leaving and the stigma around mentioning anything negative about your previous boss/employer in an interview in the answer to that question can make this a tricky thing.

It seems to me that much of the system is designed in a way that gives a lot of power to the employer.

That's always been my fear, in a way. I've long been a proponent for higher minimum wages, and met with folks telling me it would raise the price of everything. On paper, they were wrong.

Today we see it play out, and they are right. But not because they were strictly right, but by happenstance inflation hit everything.

Good luck convincing those folks now, I guess.

Interesting take, can you elaborate on that?
It’s even a microcontroller that emulates the original SIM, so it can have whatever specs they want.
There is a lot of knowledge you can't write down since you yourself don't know what it is, you just know how to apply it. For example, how do you structure your programs? You can write down some rules of thumb, but you can't write down your entire decision process as a flow chart that can be used on any program to structure every function in them. How to structure big programs is one of the biggest hurdles for new programmers, they just have to learn it themselves since nobody can teach them that. You can get a bit of feedback for simple program structures, but for more complex cases you wont even get good feedback, to continue to improve at that stage you just have to rely on yourself.
