This was an interesting read, but the aspect I am curious about (which was not discussed) is the Demand Curve [1], which describes how price and demand are related.

The example graphic from the article [2] indicates that a Doner costs $11 and produces $1 profit with a labour cost of $2.50.

If the business is priced to maximize profit, this seems to imply that if the price was raised to $12, the revenue would decrease by 1/2, which is surprising.

Also, if the labour cost is 250% of the profit, then it is surprising that decreasing hours of operation to reduce labour costs would not increase profit.

Does anyone have thoughts or references explaining this?

I did not know much Jerrycan at all before reading the article. But nonetheless when last time I was in a hardware store trying to get a fuel can, I took Jerrycan in the first glance from whole bunch of different styles.

I was wondering why there were 3 handle bars on top though, since I only need a couple of them and thus no stacking needed.
It's "available" on youtube in I think 3 parts if you look around.

I'd call it sortofa Korean "Trainspotting" kind of movie which might be the closest Western film I could possibly compare it to.

Take this with a grain of salt, but a good code review should be an exploratory process. Most of the non-trivial comments should be questions[0], and the reviewer should be operating under the assumption they'll have to jump on a call or even fix it themselves.

[0] Not just because the reviewer is trying to be nice, but because they don't know what constraints and problems the author discovered in the process of writing the PR. If the reviewer writes "use a map here, instead of scanning an array" without knowing how many items are handled, then they may be making the PR worse by replacing a cheap linear scan over a maximum of 50 items with a bunch of costly yet constant time hashing. Often the solution is an explanatory comment rather than the "obvious" fix.

This is a big part imho, in many ways engineering type stuff is easier because you know exactly (pretty well) what you have to do, in business systems, its a lot fluffier.

"Consumer-serviceable parts" is such a stupid term. There are actually no parts that are "consumer serviceable", because a "consumer" is an abstract fiction that is only capable of continually buying new off-the-shelf junk. In reality, these devices are owned by people, most of them quite capable of replacing parts, especially when they're not being infantilized.

The main thing that has changed between traditional cars and EVs are the times. The specific hazards are different and some amount of warning is justified, but plastering something with useless signs that just attempt to discourage without describing the actual hazards should create the same legal situation as having no warnings at all.

Died from COVID is likely even higher than the official death toll. The best metric for this is 2020-2021 excess deaths, subtracting the expected death rate from actual observed deaths. This number is 936K, so about 110K more than I suggested.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm

You also can view the weekly totals for observed and predicted deaths on that site. You'll see that deaths from non-COVID causes track the predicted value quite well, but when you add in deaths from COVID, the curve follows the timing of COVID cases quite well.
It's obvious to everyone that content producers who write, format, publish and promote recipes usually have a revenue goal. Any tactic that defeats that is theft, whether you want to point to fineprint somewhere or not. You know that someone made something and you have decided not to give back.

Ad free recipe sites are already handled, you pay a subscription fee instead.

That being said, the final format of an onlyrecipes scrape is very attractive! It would make for a nice intentional feature of recipe website, so the producers can still get their impression revenue and the readers can enjoy such a pleasing format
The conspiracy theory that the vaccines is delayed action kill-shot is quite common. And not typically accusing the jews specifically. The most popular version seems to be that Bill Gates of all people is behind it all.
And yet even in antiquity there were people thinking that the nature of their own existence was a recreation of the past from within the future.

We are actually performing early versions of such recreations as we speed towards both destroying ourselves and developing a lifeform that makes us obsolete, and yet many still don't examine the present moment against the past and future.

As for the Bronze Age collapse - in Alexandria around the 2nd century BCE following the conquest of Alexander the Great you had a ton of cultures of the Mediterranean comparing notes on their respective histories.

Most of those notes have been lost to us, but we have the general conclusions they drew which was that an Exodus from Egypt had occurred, it had been many different people and not just one, and they had conquered most of the Mediterranean.

And indeed, there's striking parallels between Ramses II, the Lybian appearing Pharoh with 50 sons, and stories like the Lybian king Danaus as part of Diodorus Siculus's Exodus fleeing Egypt from Aegyptus, his brother with 50 sons.

We know Ramses II captured many different peoples in battle, and that many of the groups captured later appeared as sea peoples, initially allied together with Lybia against Egypt during Ramses II's successor.

It only remains a mystery because of the reluctance of one group to think things occurred at all different to what's written in a single book scribed centuries later, and the reluctance of anyone not in that group to entertain that aspects of what's written in that book are a continuation of an oral history of actual events (though notably altered).
Do schoolchildren need to earn their education?
I've heard it referred to as "trunk-based development". I think it's not so much subpar as contextual. If there's a team of 2 developers pushing as hard as possible to get something out, I completely agree with OP that code reviews are a waste of time (unless requested). If there's a team of 100 developers, I can't imagine the insanity of pushing directly to the shared branch without review.

Somewhere between those the context is such that the benefits of code reviews outweighs the costs. Do you think otherwise?
And land lines. 211s also have websites.
I agree, it's definitely not unbelievable that Intel can beat Apple under load. Especially as many workloads will be optimised for x86 (for now). Idle definitely seems to be Intel's Achilles heel, although I guess the e-cores will help once good OS support is there as Intel mobile chips seem to be pretty decent at saving power once they go into the lower c-states.

I think a lot of the Apple efficiency gains also come from the all-in SoC design (i.e. memory etc. all in the same chip). I guess Intel is trying to make the same play here but I'm sceptical they'll have as much success in the near term simply because they're reliant on OEMs to pretty much redesign their products around that so it could be several years before all the manufacturers cycle their product lines around. Not to mention many PC fans _like_ the fact they can upgrade the RAM in their laptops SODIMM slots.
Strange that the Germans were calling the British 'tommies' in return - even during the first world war; and that was one frigging war with flame throwers and poison gas!

Geneva is a special case of cross-border agreements in Europe.

The Swiss public transport (TPG) bus service made a bilateral agreement with the French authorities to set up a cross-border bus. A tram service is being built too, next to CERN. It can be done.

Possibly as a result of that, the bus ticket machines now accept Euros and Swiss Francs, even on the Swiss side. Quite how this works financially is remarkable to me.

Is diplomacy difficult? Of course! Does it take time? Yes! And were there many compromises? Absolutely. But even the little bit that did get finished is very heavily used, and has brought great economic, social, and environmental improvements to the Pays de Gex.

So take heart, it can be done.
If he were to really care to disprove that, he could check your garage. The point is some information isn't available to us at all, there's no evidence any particular way
Well, logically one could have two different vaccines. Where conspiracy theories fail is not a basic logic usually. They fail at the reason. There is no reason to decimate the US population in case you want to rule the world, that simply creates nothing but less wealth and more Eurasian influence.
> And here lies the problem with people who say one is better than another: they look at the differences and say “I don’t like it” but think it’s a technical decision when in fact it’s just an emotive response based on what they’re comfort zone is.

Give me a way to interpret this other than condescension. You're saying that people who espouse a preference are not doing so based on valid reasoning, and the only evidence you have offered for this is that you have a different preference.

I agree that 'better' is subjective, I don't think I ever said otherwise.

You don't give people the benefit of the doubt that when they say the prefer some behavior over other behavior that they have legitimate reasoning behind it. That's arrogant nonsense entirely deserving of the stereotype that IT people are arrogant, and I for one am sick of people acting like this in our industry.
The probability of a vaccinated person young enough to have primary aged children dying from Covid is less than the flu.

So, perhaps some other kind of mental illness. It was telling that he basically doubled down with a sort of "sorry, sorry, but it's still a Jewish plot" in his apology.

Edit: He's likely 42 or 43, based on some old (2002/2003) stories about founding the company after dropping out of BYU.
> Heh, I don't have to tell you, I'm sure, but there's a lot of things kids would rather not do.

Indeed, but in your previous comment you said “masks on their face not a big deal”. I take it that is how you feel about it and not how they feel about it. Maybe we should think about them a little more is the point - adults have clearly been wrong about everything.
Because of Dominionist Christian theology, yes. Not because of any love or respect for Judaism or ethnic Jews.
How can you possibly suppose to quantify this statement?
I would suggest checking some of the high value auctions and seeing what their proof is.

It would be trivial to prove you worked at a company if that's how you were given it, you might even have photos of an event where stuff was given out, emails detailing a "welcome pack", I'm guessing it's these sort of things that are used as proof.

You can't escape sadness. Life is fundamentally about suffering. Even when you're having a good time, you will still feel sad because you know the good times always end, eventually. I think people seek these stories because it helps them deal with their own sadness. What better way to reassure yourself about your own miseries than to hear the miserable stories of others?
> overwhelming need to brag

> moral correctness

The only brag here are these plain and simple examples of virtue signalling. But putting the discussion about animal suffering to one side here, since it is irrelevant in regards to the original point regarding A(G)I - sure they may become useful in the future, but deserving of rights equivalent to animals, let alone humans?

They are tools created by man, nothing more, I would not feel the slightest hesitation about hitting the power switch, disconnecting the battery, or unplugging the power cable at the end of the day if it has outlived its utility, or has malfunctioned in a way that could potentially negatively affect humans (or animals for that matter). Neither should you. There is no sentience there, just simulation. No matter how charming you might find the simulated conversation or sex acts with them.
Thank you!

I've had some really bad mentors!
Besides NYC that's been my experience as well -- US cities are designed for driving as the primary transportation method. Even mass transit in the US is often pitched as something to make life easier for drivers by lowering traffic.

Lots of places talk about the importance of walkability and mass transit but if you actually look at most transportation budgets the vast majority goes to automobile infrastructure. Even what passes for "pedestrian infrastructure" in many places is there for the benefit of drivers[1]. I mean, it makes sense because everyone in the US drives everywhere, but it's a chicken-and-egg problem.

I finally worked out that breathing the nasty smoke from my 20 year old mower with worn rings was making me feel like shit for days and causing intermittent tiny epididymal cysts to form which were causing excruciating pain when I got erect.

So I’m now paying someone else to spill fuel all over themselves and breathe their own mower fumes.

Been two months and I can now regularly get an erecting without crippling pain, and the constant ache has subsided to noticeable only.

Urologist, and myself, were reluctant to operate because the cysts were 2mm which is tiny.

Engine exhaust is a known carcinogen for oestrogen sensitively cancers often relating to breast, uterus, ovaries, bladder, stomach, testicles.

I don’t recall who it was that said here in Australia: lawns are the green cancer that’s chocking the nation.

Small engine exhaust like lawnmowers have to catalytic converter, the fumes are super dangerous.
First thought in my head.
Do they think getting vaccinated is hurting themselves or others? Appears that a 1 in a million chance of a hurting themselves is prevent them from protecting others.
His daughter is about as Jewish as ... never mind.
From personal experience. I have two @gmail and a hosted by google and all of them show me both device and totp enabled. afaik it came for free. Admittedly I turned 2fa on as soon as it was GA years ago and did not have it automatically applied so maybe the backup codes and TOTP thing is different.
> It's amusing how "you shouldn't have had kids if one parent wasn't willing to stay at home full time" is now something that the far left and far right agree on.

I consider myself somewhat left wing, and I don't agree with this statement at all. Cooperative babysitting, more flexible work arrangements, larger friend groups, joint families, and more social cohesion in general are a good way to balance childcare.

I actually agree that teaching can provide some part of this, but don't understand the fact where everything else runs according to a hyper-capitalist algorithm, but teachers are expected to take on outsize responsibility and risk adverse healthcare outcomes because "Think of the children".

It does take a village to raise a child. Let's do that, and not just leave it to two parents and a teacher.
True, but its not as tasty cold. I guess that is not a problem when making sandwiches for lunch in the morning, if that is your main use case.

This is also known as the "Salad Dodger" bug. Many users in Scotland have been less than successful at getting a patch for this issue. Something to do with territorial licensing and the Pies and Bridies patent.
I'm not sure about this. Remember that most people (even most software developers) don't know C++ (or even C). And IMO (as someone who has tried to learn both) Rust is a lot easier to learn than C++
I actually tried to keep working. I felt horrible pain, but my sympathy for the horse masked a fair bit of it til I got home an hour or so later. The pain was an intense dull ache. If I hadn’t peed blood, I probably would have just suffered through it, because I grew up poor in USA without health insurance of any kind, and was acculturated to not taking medicine or receiving medical treatment unless mandated by law or in actual emergencies. Once I saw blood in the toilet bowl, I was much less reticent to go to the ER immediately, to put it lightly. My folks were first responders in a very remote rural area when I was growing up; I knew that much blood in my urine was potentially life-threatening without immediate medical interventions if blood clots were to form.

I still feel bad for the horse. It got spooked, and was entirely blameless, if a bit anxious. It was a windy day, and the tin roofs of the surrounding buildings set the horse off somehow. I had too much slack in the lead rope, the horse walked ahead just far enough away for me to be in the danger zone right behind. I saw a motion blur of horseflesh, reflexively covered my face, and took a rear hoof right below my ribs. I almost kept my grip on the rope, but some part of my mind decided to let the horse win this one, and I dropped it right as my legs gave out from the impact and the sudden pain. The horse ran, and trampled it’s own rope, broke the bit in its mouth. The poor thing’s tongue was cut top to bottom, and halfway across.

I failed the horse in my careless handling and lack of empathy and situational awareness on that day. As these were racehorses, I’m glad that they received medical care and made a full recovery after missing some races. On balance, maybe the horse got off easy compared to how hard they run them on race days.

That was the worst experience I had with a horse. The second worse was being lifted off the ground by my bicep by a mother horse when I calmly petted her daughter. And the younger horse was nearly as big as her, so not a baby by any means.

Horses are to be respected. All animals ought to be; doubly so for those that can literally trample you to death.
Maybe not at 10% but if Intel was 30% faster, I think it would raise some eyebrows.
Salaries aren’t determined by essential-ness, they’re determined by supply and demand.

Obviously a nursing home aid is a lot more “essential” than a FAANG engineer, but the latter is paid substantially more. It sounds flowery and noble to pay people based on how “important” their jobs are to society. But it’s simply no way to run an economy.
It is incredibly ironic that Mac support for high refresh rates is worse than Windows or Linux today. It isn't possible to run an Intel Mac at 4k 144Hz any more, and this is a software issue not a hardware one.

I may be wrong, but I suspect this is because macOS fibs at/about low power to accommodate hibernation. (I see similar behavior on my intel MBP, so I doubt it’s platform specific.)
I wonder if the xcode binaries are compiled for Arm or x86_64 via Rosetta emulation - and how much difference that makes to performance and efficiency?
Any good references you'd recommend for learning more about this?

I read about Oliver Heaviside and that helped shed some light on engineering improvements from that period of time. He was around a bit later in the 1800s, though.
Fortunately the Bible later explains that Abraham remembered God had told him "Through Isaac shall your offspring be named." and he therefore correctly reasoned "that God was able even to raise [Isaac] from the dead" (Hebrews 11:18-19). At worst, therefore, Isaac would only have been temporarily dead, which was not a feature observed of Canaanite child sacrifice.
Is that a bad thing? Web3 is ultimately about building hierarchies(DAO). I would like to see a diversity of new digital hierarchies, new federated systems with unique properties. Not just a purely decentralized system. Decentralized vs. Centralized is a false dichotomy IMO.
IMHO addiction is where you don't feel like you can adequately function without. For a daily nicotine smoker, being without is a negative consequence that seriously alters mood and efficacy. This is what makes that sort of addiction particularly ravenous as opposed to your measured once a month.
My first introduction to troubleshooting computers was with the Norton Utilities.

I held onto the manual well into the late 2000's. I remember seeing the last few pages of the book where everyone who worked on the product had their signatures on it, and kind of hoping that my signature would be in a book like that one of these days.
I think he's saying that Apple processors are best for Apple. It's no longer beholden to outsiders for its processors. There is value in freedom that, for Apple, is greater than mere numbers can convey.
Is this similar to what happened to Virgil?
I think it depends on one's definition of "better". There will likely always be performance-at-any-cost choices that will beat Apple since that's not what they're solving for.
