You have it wrong. In addition to the fees DoorDash charges you they also charge the restaurant ~20% revenue behind the scenes. Amazon charges ~8-45% (depends on the product) behind the scenes to the seller in addition to your prime membership.

The argument “would you pay some percent more” is somewhat meaningless because if Apple thought you would pay 40% more they would already be charging that and charging the publisher 30%. Two sided markets mannnn.
True, but unrelated to this I believe.

If they are protesting with the blm people (e.g. intermingled), then yes.

If they are having counter protests e.g.seperate protests within proximity but clearly distinct, then no.
If we ask a question during the interview like "How do you handle a situation where a student reports sexual harassment to you?", we don't want it to be the first time in their life a candidate has ever even considered the question.

So - how often do sexual harassment incidents occur such that the obvious line of report is to the instructor (as opposed to say, the department chair or an administrator)? Are you literally saying that, literally, every post doc should have (with 99 percent probability) been the recipient of such a report (on the basis of the handful of likely very small classes they've taught by that stage)?

And if the students did go to some other responsible contact person at the university, aside from the instructor (which is perfectly reasonable of course - maybe they don't want the instructor to know, because would distract from their ability to focus on their studies) -- I guess that post-doc shit out luck when applying for a position by your DEI board, because they have no sexual harassment reports under their belt?

Sounds patently unrealistic, of course. But this seems to be exactly what you are saying.
Yup, it was an industrial transformer, and a 0-hour racecar motor/transmission setup... no tracking devices on them though...
But “waving swastikas” isn’t very interesting unless it signifies Nazis right? It’s not bad to use swastikas to critique governments if you think they’re acting like Nazis.

The intent of swastikas in that situation isn’t pro-nazi or anti-Semitic.

I’m not sure what real Nazis in Germany being anti-vax has to do with our conversation. RFKJr is anti-vax too, what does that matter about this convoy.

I was trying to figure out if there were Nazis in the convoy. It seems like there aren’t.
> But Apple and Google have been bad stewards of their market power.

Can you explain how? Because I don’t think they have at all. App developers are not their customers, they are business partners, and prioritizing customers over business partners is laudable.
You can emulate it with ease with qemu-system-ppc.
You claimed that minting a coin with face value $10T increased the money supply. I'm saying this is not true, because that coin cannot be spent and therefore doesn't contribute to the money supply. It doesn't matter what you write on the coin.

What matters isn't what you do with "money"; it's what you can do with it.
The most fascinating part is how none of this was really unexpected; Too many people forgot how this is already SARS-CoV-*2*

We had over a decade to find vaccines for the original SARS-CoV, and in over that decade we did not manage to find anything long-lasting [0]. A whole lot of problems SARS-CoV vaccines had, seem to also exist for SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.

> Not a single cent of that money went into the healthcare system.

If everyone was vaccinated the healthcare system wouldn't be overburdened without spending a dime on the healthcare system.

Preventative medicine is always the cheapest option.
> Running out of ports may affect short-lived connections too: by default when you (the client) close a connection, it goes into a ‘TIME_WAIT’ state that locks up the {src,dst}_{ip,port} quadruple for (by default) 2 minutes to protect new connections with that quadruple getting packets that were meant for the previous connection.

This bit hard at a previous job. A very important PHP script would open DB connections (no pooling) and when it’s load hit the magic threshold we started running out of ports. But requests would succeed as TIME_WAIT expired so it just looked like some requests would hang with no reason.

It was tough for us to figure out. The final solution was obvious (pooling) but that took some doing because the script was quite old and it took a bit of an overhaul for that to work. Don’t remember exactly why. Tech debt is fun.

But we learned a new thing we had to be careful of, and a new failure mode we never expected.
Bunch of FUD. OS features and permissions aren't going anywhere. Even if coercing users into providing permissions became a real problem, Apple could have the OS provide fake data to apps not whitelisted by the user.

If you don't want to be tracked, don't use Google, Facebook, and other ad techs. Doesn't matter whether you installed their apps or not. Even today Apple can't meaningfully shield you from their tracking if you choose to use their free ad-supported services. (And if you don't, there's not much value in tracking you since they can't sell your attention to the highest bidder)

I'm not defending ad tech, but it will take complex legislation to reign it in. You can't just hide from it in Apple's walled garden, it does not work.
This!! But its even worse, they don't update their FB page. So I'm forced to use FB to find where they are this week to find their last update was August 2021.
The collective of Apple’s users makes its will known by continuing to purchase iPhones.
The hacking community understands the definition of hacking to be 'modifying something to be used differently than it's intended purpose'.

The idea of 'hacking' you are referring to is a colloquialism that is shared by young teens and entertainment media. It is not a reflection of reality.
Finally! I've been wondering how Facebook and Google can get away with running ads that are clearly malicious in nature like https://imgur.com/a/Lk85lST (which my elderly father got a while back). Organizations like the Ads Standards Council exist for a reason, and there's no excuse for the "new" digital media not to follow the obligations for advertising as every other form of media is.
This is quite amusing. I think it passed the fact check, so obviously they won't fact check it.

Going into the basics, the prime complaint seems to be that making people wear a mask is considered a lockdown. Well, guess what? Masks prevent or don't prevent COVID!

The amount of mental gymnastics to get around the fact that masks were entirely useless the entire time is a work of art itself.

Then they complain they are economists working with data after the fact, rather than epidemiologists who worked with predictive models meant to plan for the worst.

Snopes should stick to hookers and blow.
Saying this as the most ignorant sack-of-shit 28 year-old you're ever likely to meet, does this then mean that energy prices may indeed reduce over time and go back to their figure from several years ago in equivocal value once inflation is taken into consideration?

And do you have any sources to show this has happened before?
A lot of video game talk on HN recently, but the Resident Evil series has had a pretty impressive comeback over the past few years. Having recently gone through RE7 and RE8, it's really cool seeing a classic franchise take the lead in cinematic horror experiences again, especially since they've really started pushing technical boundaries again. RE7 is a whole different experience from the standard shooter-shlock that the series had devolved into after 4, and took a lot of risks while basing everything on a revamped game engine that won a lot of people over.

Resident Evil 8 might seem sorta lame in comparison (and maybe it is, that's not what I care about though), but the detail in the models of that game are truly remarkable. Especially the architecture and interior spaces; I can't even begin to imagine what kind of render pipeline or asset capture is required to get such great-looking buildings. The shaders and material work come through gorgeously, and look even better with RT enabled. From a visual standpoint, it feels like a culmination of the last 20-some years of incremental 3D rendering improvement.

A lot of people are pretty disenfranchised with the idea of "next-gen" games, but Capcom's RE team is one of the few studios that consistently pushes the envelope in overall visuals. Hats off to them, now if only they could figure out their dismal DRM issues...

That's true. Some rankings like the one from Nature I mentioned do include institutes. As a result, places like Wellcome Sanger in Cambridge or Helmholtz in Germany rank really well and above most leading universities in their field. As you say, these are not universities, but research institutes and therefore ignored by ARWU, US News and others.
Crypto is not monolithic. Bitcoin is still by far the most decentralized token. Many new crypto currencies have more or less centralized characteristics.

But in this case, the bridge is a smart contract. You too can create a smart contract with full power given to yourself. So being a smart contract does not say that it’s centralized or decentralized. A decentralized smart contract is called DAO, if we omit some details.
We really need an open standard for wireless and wired audio distribution, so different brands can interoperate.

When the price of wood and paint went through the roof in summer 2020, there were no prosecutions for price gouging.

But consumers did change behavior to delay their purchases until prices were more reasonable. Price elasticity is not a linear function.
Its funny we wind up debating this instead

An alternate way of including people un this format is to tell them what happened and then tell them there is a captivating version they can watch

For example the Costa Concordia incident is easy: ship sank off the coast of Italy, disaster. But I watch an hour long video about it for the sensation.

You'd need to have pretty small windows for that not to work. Or they could just drill a hole in the wooden walls.
A sauna? Sure.

But a hot tub? There are very, very few bodies of water that you can submerge comfortably in that doesn't end up being a non trivial amount of energy to warm up, much less keep warm.

To each his own I guess.
Handcrafting XF86Config is how I spent my summer of 95. I was in engineering school in India and we have these 486s in the lab running Win 3.1. I took permission from the lab dude to install Linux/X Windows on it. Monitor I had with the 486 was some noname OEM. So naturally the frequencies or whatever in the XF86Config didn't match. For many many weeks I would randomly change numbers in a line and restart. I think it was Ctrl+Fn7 to get to X screen or terminal. Still remember the joy when I got the login screen to show up.
Most of the energy stored in the cylinder charge during the compression stroke is returned (as if an air spring) on the (what would be the) power stroke. The difference between a gas and diesel engine shows up in the higher pumping losses on the intake stroke (if you're pulling air past a closed throttle plate or not).
At this point there's no valid scientific or medical reason to continue with mask mandates. I recommend listening to UCSF infectious disease expert Dr. Monica Gandhi who provides a clear explanation of the current situation.

Does that justify how countries like Cuba dealt with HIV? The problem is that public health can reach fairly extreme levels unless it is checked by a strong conception of individual rights. Otherwise you literally get situations like what happened with HIV in Cuba (for those who don't know, HIV positive people were rounded up and sent to institutions as a public health measure to prevent HIV spread). That's why I find it incredibly concerning that people seem to just be happy to suspend individual rights so rapidly. The state of Victoria in Australia recently passed legislation that lets it ignore certain human rights - such as the right to employment - in the face of the pandemic.
I have a full pane glass door into my shop. I’m definitely replacing it for this reason. Someone could absolutely break in by other means and there’s other windows big enough for a person (by regulation), but somehow a big door full of glass seems too inviting.

That said many stores have big glass windows and their best goods out front. But on the other hand, other stores also have security doors that enclose everything when it’s closed. I might be being too paranoid, but the same concern applies to even locking your door. A locked door only keeps the honest folks out is what they say, so should we do away with locks completely? Obviously people find some utility in them despite their inherent weaknesses.
It was $79/year in 2014. The price has almost doubled since then. Has the value you've gotten since then almost doubled?

Did you read the Snopes article? My read was that they were providing useful context for the working (i.e., non-peer reviewed) paper written by economists (not epidemiologist) who are associated with Johns Hopkins that is being thrown around as evidence that "lockdowns" don't work. Since empirical evidence (referenced by the Snopes article) indicates that lockdowns do work, I'd imagine papers to the contrary can be argued to be in the realm of "urban legends", thus fodder for Snopes.

Why is the title as (Wiley.com) not “(random chemistry journal on Wiley)”?
At the expense of annoyed customers.
I see, this article confuses "fund people, not projects" with "fund people from top tier universities with degrees, credentials and any other pedigree that would make them successful in the current system, not projects".

Everyone has their own way of interpreting "fund people, not projects" but my take on it is that it would basically be "basic income" for scientists and engineers. Make a lot of small bets to provide the base level of comfort so that scientists and engineers can work with some piece of mind with the hope of having a few unicorn successes that make up for the rest. This seems like what's ostensibly happening in silicon valley to begin with so that's why I have this interpretation.

The implementation details always matter but my view is that the Kariko story is precisely in favor of the "fund people, not projects". Ultimately the article comes to the same conclusion ("... fund a more diverse range of people and ideas, even ... ideas that are currently ... unpopular, unworkable, obscure ...") but I guess the assumption is that a "fund people" approach would be implemented to favor superstars at the exclusion of everyone else.
Agreed. If this was discovered in one of the thousands of other air bases that people know nothing about, maybe it was an accident. With Area 51 the US knows that it's constantly under watch by parties worldwide. I'm skeptical they'd choose to do anything actual secretive there anymore.
The first distribution I downloaded to floppies at work and installed on a beater 386 at home. I am pretty sure the first one I installed still used a pre-1.0 kernel that I immediately upgraded to 1.0, so it must have been spring or summer 1994 and Slackware 1.1. I turned into a computer bum for the next five years or so, but I got over it.

Do you seriously believe that people having to put $400 on their credit card isn't a sign of increasing poverty? You are that daft?

From your original source:

>Among those with a credit card, about half always or almost always paid their bill in full each month, while 2 in 10 did so some of the time and slightly over one-fourth carried a balance most of the time(figure 18). Twenty-eight percent of those with a credit card paid only the minimum on their bill at least some of the time. The frequency of regular borrowing with credit cards during 2017 is similar to 2016.

It is absurd to look at these stats and think that everything is fine. These are worrying numbers. This shows that there is a certain % of the population living paycheck to paycheck and honestly for people looking this was obvious in 2019. The outcome of this situation now coming to fruition where people don't want to work below a certain wage level and so many jobs go unfilled.

Furthermore the sign of bankruptcies declining does not disprove the claim that the majority of bankruptcies are medical related.

Who uses cash basis accounting?

A bit of googling brought me to a paper which points out that even the CBO and the Congressional Oversight Panel independently came to the conclusion that the bailouts subsidized the banks to the tune of over 60 billion dollars [0]. The paper itself puts the value closer to 90 billion. From the article:

> Costs on an ex post cash basis were only identified for a subset of the above programs, but it is likely that on that basis the government came out ahead. Hopefully, the reader has been convinced that there is little meaningful information in this fact.

That's not just a problem with being hooked up to the grid so you can altruistically use less of your own energy and donate the rest to other people.

It's also a problem for billing Dave Rosenthal appropriately. Assuming he turns on lights at night, he's not using his own energy. No amount of solar generation will let you use power when the sun isn't shining. So he's not reducing the demand for (say) coal at night.

But because he's being billed wrong, rolling over daytime power he doesn't use as if it were the nighttime power he does use, people still think he is.
Even better is when your yard sale gets blocked because its generating too much traffic/too many messages.

Thanks the post. This is the first time I've read an article by a math professor in such an acerbic and relatively handwoven way. Seems like over the years this proof must have generated passionate disagreement.
Heck, if:

- you can target PDF

- you’re married to a JS stack

- your motivation is (quoting the article)

> When you purchase a shipping label through them, they give you the output in either a PDF, PNG, or ZPL format. ZPL would be ideal, since it's just ASCII text which can easily be modified, or even stored in a database along side each order.

It seems like a much more reasonable intermediate format is SVG or JSX, both of which have mature to-PDF solutions, and both of which have much more well-known manipulation stories. Of course, that doesn’t lead to an absolutely bonkers blog title like this. But for anyone considering a similar setup, there are much more conservative options.
Yes this is an important observation. The bad things all happen, but they’re usually not everywhere at once. One grocery store has empty shelves, another one is better stocked. Makes it easy to look credible saying everything is fine, or everything is terrible.
I always wondered this too. Australia seems to have the American style truck too. I find them a bit more fun and less “serious looking” than the European ones.
Walmart has their “Plus” offering that is $99 and gives the same kind of free shipping as Prime. If you’re okay with it, you can also get free grocery delivery from your local store.
