Idea here, not sure if this is available now or not, but something I was thinking about throughout COVID + restaurant industry.

They're a huge employer, particularly of some of the lowest paid sector. Why didn't the government consider tax subsidies to restaurants that kept 80-90% employees on to help keep food and other costs down?

If takeaway costs could have stayed the same or even lower, it would have pushed people to keep patronizing restaurants at the same level, and keep staff employed (re-purposed somewhat to support takeaway from in house service) but keep that tax revenue + light CERB load (this is in Canada) and the whole industry could have hopefully weathered this better.

Seems doable? Also, seems like a model that could be potententially used in other businesses too, particularly smaller ones.

In which countries is it not cheaper to cook your own food than to buy it out? The only things I can think of are:
- truly street food in areas like sinagpore or india which is not a sustainable every meal option for most digestive systems
- island nations where you're comparing fresh produce to a prepared meal

It should be and is cheaper to cook your own food. Purchases are limited to need, meals are usually a tiny percentage of the overall purchase, cost does not include: rent, talent, fixed costs such as kitchens/tables/plates/etc, healthcare, marketing, etc.
Currently it is not. And mostly because I don't know how to maintain an open source project.

Hold up. Does the term "miner" refer to the pool here? Is "allocation" mining?

This can be read as the pool getting 85% of what miner mined, and allocating 15% fee to the miner.

The restaurant business is awful to begin with. Don't even think about it if you don't own the property. You do not want to be in this business trust me (family owned a few restaurants). It requires the longest fucking hours you can imagine, employees that could give a shit no matter how much you pay them, unstable food costs and add to that an expiring product, insane red tape (licensing), etc.

Incredibly lucky that we were able to sell both remaining businesses in NOV-DEC/19. Dodged a bullet, buyer has since closed down and gone out of business. I predict that 90% all the restaurants (privately owned) in Toronto will be out of business in the next year. Corporate owned have incredibly deep pockets and will survive. Complete slaughter.

Almost nobody would disagree that making both transit and driving awful is not a good solution.

The real solution is to make transit at least as good as driving (measured roughly by time to get from A-B). Not easy to do in some cities - Seattle has some unique geography to work around. But for someplace like Houston or Dallas? Making transit work shouldn't be that hard (other than the cost to build it out and getting people to agree it can work).

Flippantly dismissing it as "the null hypothesis" is covering up an entire tradition of ideas around secular society's beliefs about the nature of reality. The evidence points to consciousness/subjective experience being the fundamental "matter" of reality, and this is beginning to gain traction again with scientists and philosophers. The "null hypothesis" in your context is built upon the logical positivist framework of the dualist belief that the mind and body are separate, and the objective world can be full apprehended rationally, which involves many a priori assumptions itself and is not a given. Most people are ignorant of the millennia of metaphysics that led to modern ways of looking at the world and just assume it to be ground truth rather than a complex mental construction just like the rest.

It's weird and silly to expect prevention with tool that is not designed to prevent. Peer review (and the PR model) exists as quality control tool for many different aspects of someone else's work.
This describes a lot of terrible practices, but they aren't Scrum. Scrum is what's defined in the scrum guide. If you do something else and call it scrum, it's not scrum's fault.

Scrum is all about breaking down large, complex projects so they can be delivered incrementally, then delivering those increments. Then you incorporate feedback from your stakeholders, including new requirements or work. Then you reflect on how it went and adjust your process. Then you do it again.

I have seen Scrum suck too, but mostly because the org left out or ignored some huge part of what makes it work. But the framework itself makes a lot of sense, and I haven't seen another that works better.
I think you’re mainly focusing on macro and it’s not completely unwarranted. That said, micro stuff is fascinating to say the least, and very pertinent to data science. In fact, much of “data science” projects until 2012-13ish were handled by economists.
I did not make that claim. I speculated that government connections & influence by some of the board members may have played a part in how aggressively prosecution was pursued.

Can I ask a question though? It seems we simply disagree here on what is reasonable speculation on the issue, and that's okay, but can I ask why you are focused on Mattis in this? He strikes me as a man of some integrity, and so I highly doubt he would have done anything inappropriate here. Though that very integrity might make him want to get to the bottom of things and therefore make inquiries about how seriously the issue was being handled by the DOJ-- again not in any inappropriate way. Out of the group of directors, I'd think him the least likely to have used his influence to pressure anyone. And there's a big difference between using influence and using pressure.

Also in my other comments I mention that it may even only have been passive influence: Having people of that high of a profile attached to a scandal can be enough to have folks at the DOJ and regional prosecutor's office take notice to see what's going on. In which case, to my original point, Holmes' high-profile board of directors worked against her when it came to criminal prosecution.

Further, I admit 1) I should have been clearer in my original comment that such passive influence may have been the factor and 2) I was speculating, not making accusations of inappropriate activity. I thought that was clear, but I suppose I'm wrong.

Maybe we should simply part ways on this thread in disagreement now, rather than continue what doesn't seem a productive conversation on this topic with each other.

Consider the opposing factor: many more people might be unwilling to visit restaurants if they thought they would get covid from unvaccinated fellow customers. Proof of vaccination is what enables restaurants to be open at all; without it, they might still be closed as an unacceptable risk.

They did not have the printing press or free markets. The combination of the wider dissemination of ways of knowing and acting in a free market of ideas combined with a free market of individuals and firms that applied the knowledge is what set it all off.

My monetary economics professor in grad school was teaching a paper and told us that when the authors claim it's obvious, that means it's not obvious.

>And every year the service got worse,

Because every year we refuse to fund public transport at an appropriate level to prevent it from getting worse let alone improving.

If your idea of public transport is confined to only what the US has to offer currently, then you have already stopped having a conversation in good faith and instead are being myopic in the realm of solutions.
I'm not an athlete, but I've been running 15.3km/day for six days a week for almost a year, and _maybe_ I can put some upper limit on your expectations. While I'm overweight (175cm/86kg, with 75kg being probably the perfect weight for my body type), I am in good shape, and I've been running approximately three times/week, 39km/week for the past 12 years (except the last year).

I don't think an untrained person can go above 500kcal and not feel tired, at least when running. I burn approximately 1100-1200 kcal per session, and from time to time, I do feel tired. It does have an impact on my mental capabilities; hence I do it after work.

A lot will depend on the sport you choose. Burning the same number of calories always felt much more physically demanding when running than when cyclic. Swimming might be the best choice, but it takes much more time than just going for a run/ride. Length and quality of your sleep will also play a big role ( I used to sleep 5h/day, but these days I need around 6h/day to regenerate ). Diet is also important. Plus, the length and intensity of the training session will have a significant impact. Running at 15km/h pace is an order (or two) of magnitude more demanding than running at 12km/h pace.

Be very careful not to overheat and stay hydrated when exercising. From my experience effects of overheating tend to last for hours (if not for the whole day) and have quite a big impact on my mental capabilities and overall feel. It's also not something that I can alleviate or treat successfully once it happens. Sure, a cold shower will bring relief, but it will not get me to 100% of my capabilities, and I will feel tired afterward anyway.

Take into account your shape, weight and age. Don't try to run 7km/day if you're obese, you'll easily get hurt. Swimming, hiking and cyclic might be much better option. Also, start slow, maybe at 20% of your target training session and increase it by 10% every day - see how you feel. Feeling tired is ok, your body will adjust, but if you experience actual pain, cramps, some stiff tendons etc. take a step back.
> there's no particular reason why a chicken sandwich at a restaurant should cost more than a chicken sandwich at home

There are many reasons! You're the one making the sandwich at home and bringing it to your table, so you absorb the labor costs. And you're already paying for space, heat, light at your place whether you eat there or not, whereas the restaurant has to pay for these. Not to mention profits (why would they run a place if not to earn money?)

The only things that your place and a restaurant have in common are the ingredients; and while restaurants can maybe pay less because they buy in bulk, they also have to abide by health codes that don't apply to you; you can eat yesterday's meat if you want, but restaurants usually can't serve it to you.

So it's really unclear how restaurant food could ever approach the cost of meal made at home.

For all of its flaws, I find the web3 space fun...but I'm also hoping that some of the non-financialized use cases move to other kinds of distributed algorithms, like Hypercore (https://hypercore-protocol.org/).

Even if the technological ideal comes to fruition in a few years (sharded modular proof-of-stake consensus blockchains with zero-knowledge rollups and dedicated data availability layers), it will still eternally remain enmeshed with speculation and scamming. I think there's a narrow time and place for the speculative assets but wouldn't want that interwoven throughout the fabric of everything online.
A bit about PURLs
No, the complaint is that OpenSea is distributing images that were uploaded by users that lack licenses to do so and that OpenSea does not have a compliant DMCA process. Therefore it is being asserted that OpenSea cannot claim a 512(c) exemption from liability.

[1] https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF11478

In other words, the complaint is that when you curl e.g. https://images.opensea.com/some-pixel-artwork it returns a PNG of the pixel art without adequate license metadata, and there's no one to talk to that will fix the issue.
Another reason is lack of creativity from smaller developers that copy the dark patterns that have become endemic of the larger websites like Amazon, Google, and AirBnb. Many smaller developers mistakenly look up to these “leaders” for guidance on how their software should work.

I have had the opposite experience. I've found windows defender to be basically the only AV you really need. I had a single occurrence where it flagged software I was writing as potentially malicious, but I was able to add an exception for my project and not think about it again. I've never noticed it clocking my CPU at any noticeable levels. For comparison, my work computer requires McAfee and at least once a day it clocks my CPU at 65% or more.
The PEP gives motivation:

> The classic division operator makes it hard [in a dynamic language like Python] to write numerical expressions that are supposed to give correct results from arbitrary numerical inputs ... Another way to look at this is that classic division makes it difficult to write polymorphic functions that work well with either float or int arguments; all other operators already do the right thing. No algorithm that works for both ints and floats has a need for truncating division in one case and true division in the other.

Here's a presentation van Rossum gave in OSCOC 2001 about the issue, using: (see https://legacy.python.org/doc/essays/ppt/oscon2001/oscon2001... )

def velocity(distance, time):
return distance/time

In Python 2.0, this is incorrect, unless you could guarantee that at least one of distance and time was not a integer. The correct solution is something like:

def velocity(distance, time):
return distance/(time*1.0)

while other valid-seeming solutions are subtly broken:

x = float(x) # Broken if x is complex
x = x+0.0 # Broken if x is -0.0

Why you would pass in a complex number, I've no idea. But perhaps the imaginary component is 0?

>>> 50/(30+0j)
(1.6666666666666667+0j)

In C this isn't a problem because the "double distance" and "double time" in the argument list ensure the algorithm is dealing with doubles.

In addition, though the PEP doesn't say it, there's some influence from the Alice programming language, which started in the 1990s and built on Python. Quoting "Alice: Lessons Learned from Building a 3D System For Novices" at http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.43.... :

> Although we resisted changing the Python implementation, our user testing data forced us to make two changes. First, we modified Python’s integer division, so users could type 1/2 and have it evaluate to 0.5, rather than zero. Second, we made Python case insensitive. Over 85% of our users made case errors and many continued to do so even after learning that case was significant.

Feedback from Alice helped influence van Rossum's decision for changing division. As for "Case Insensitivity", see slide 44 from the OSCON presentation, with that as the title and "[ducks :-]" as the sole content.
Actually, all of it! (It wasn't a large amount, though.)
> Pay your employees. It's that simple.

That's what you want. Fair?

However, you also said the following,

> 4% price increase to get to a living wage. Not $15 sandwiches, just $7.28 instead of $7.

which implies that you think EACH sandwhich needs to be increased dollar for dollar to achieve the "living wage" gap.

edit: the "Pay your employees" , in context, came off as saying Chipotle wasn't paying their employees, despite the promise and plan.
I agree that we don't need unique identities across everything, but even if that is a real problem it is also solved by public key cryptography without a requirement of a blockchain.

> I just don’t think this would work for most teams and developers.

Most teams and developers don't do code reviews because the only person that could do code reviews would be the developer himself.
For a small team of capable engineers, working on something that has low consequence for any single change failing plus a strong business motivation to move fast: sure, do without code reviews if you want.

There is no universal "best practise" for building software, there is just whatever works best for your context. Practices can, and should change as your business context does. There are some things that are net beneficial for a team in the majority of situations though, I'd consider code reviews one of these things and make that the default.
A while back I made a goofy app called Appstagram that applied Instagram-like filters to the windows of your desktop applications (https://github.com/aleffert/appstagram), but Apple continually made it more difficult to inject code into every process (even after having been granted permissions by the user) and I eventually gave up.

I know you're being snarky, but the answer is yes. Once a country establishes a norm that the authority is never to be questioned (under pain of castration), subsequent governments will follow the same path and no one will question it - rather, no one can question it and live to tell the tale. It is not uncommon for colonial laws to be preserved for use against political enemies, so now it's not rubber farmers getting castrated, but journalists who show "traitorous behavior" or an opposition leader that "insults the president".

The only authoritarian countries that overcome that hurdle are those lucky to get benevolent dictators who go undertake genuine reform to decentralize power.

> Your first two sentences literally contradict each other

No they don't. They only do if you think the number of works that wouldn't be produced because creators are dissuaded from producing them by the knowledge that they wouldn't be able to profit from them after they're dead is necessarily greater than the number of new works that would now be created (and otherwise couldn't), using the newly liberated work of these creators as input.

Do you really think that? I certainly don't.
