Restaurants are simply a bad business to have. They are intrinsically unprofitable as there's almost no way to have a sustainable competitive advantage. So yeah, only way to operate them is to trick clients, trick employees (and pay them below minimum wage), and cut corners everywhere - immigrants are naturally better positioned to do it because they can hire their own folks, usually illegals, speaking to them in language no one else can understand, concealing their dodgy practices. Paying under the minimum wage comes naturally because how else do you pay to an illegal working for cash?

Nothing to be surprised here. Restaurants won't be fixed until big corporations figure out how to operate fancy places the way they figured low-priced one like McDonald's - it's hard but not undoable and i believe will happen at some point - then competitive advantage of scale will price out even immigrants.

And hotels are fine. Hilton and Marriott are not immigrant-owned, and nothing is wrong with them (apart from the wifi that usually sucks).
There's very little value arguing with true believers. When they're finally broke and pushed into the next scheme to rob their money away, they'll finally admit that they knew it was bogus all along and that their involvement was just for the lolz. These people are not worth your time.
I wonder if an alternate, not-as-good-but-acceptable set of conventions would arise. The best weighted MIDI keyboard doesn’t have the responsiveness of a good grand piano, but great music can still be made with them. Same with electric vs acoustic violins.
The paper you cite is very bad but even it doesn’t claim that caste prejudice is primarily about skin color. It’s about ancestry and ritual purity.

I suggest reading the Wikipedia articles on varna and caste in India as an introduction. There’s a lot to learn and very little of it is about color and even less about skin color.

> I mean any asset is vulnerable to being worth $0 at any moment.

Absolutely, totally wrong. Let's look at some of the most common assets.

- Houses:

> your previously valuable house could actually be worthless due to a structural defect

Wrong. If you buy a new house, you likely have a builder's warranty. If you buy an existing house, you get an inspection. Unless the house is very inexpensive and the inspector is totally incompetent, you're not going to find something that costs more to fix than the house itself cost you.

But even if you did and the house could no longer be occupied, you'd still be able to sell the land and salvage building materials from the house.

Your house can't suddenly be worth $0 because of the collapse of a speculative market. You can be underwater, but if the house can be lived in or the land can be used, it has value.

- Cars: Can be sold for parts or scrap.

- Stocks: Legally entitle you to profits of a company, which is only worth $0 if the company has been involved in major fraud or you bought the stock of a company that was insolvent already. Definitely possible, but easy to avoid. Microsoft is not suddenly going to blow up, for example.

- Govt bonds: Possible to become valueless, but usually backed up by something in a developed country (like bankruptcy laws). If a credit-worthy country like the US has bonds that suddenly become worthless, society is probably otherwise collapsing and you have other problems.

- Gold/silver/diamonds: Can't become valueless because they have industrial uses.

- Index funds: Would, again, require a societal collapse to lose all their value.

That "average available in the USA" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. The USA is larger than Europe, but no one would credibly say that these things are all good across Europe. You can find plenty of terrible bread, meat, and seafood in Europe. To call it "vastly superior" is indefensible on its face.

Hence why I referenced the median. It wouldn't make sense to cherry-pick a US city like Seattle, which has amazing ingredient quality and diversity that few cities can compete with, and generalize it to the entire US. I've lived a lot of places and recognize the variance. The ingredient quality isn't even consistent within single European countries, having surprisingly high variance over -- by American standards -- relatively small geographic areas.

If you compare blue collar city against blue collar city, the US is definitely competitive in my experience. I think many people have an outdated view of the food available in flyover country. I split my time between Western Europe and the US, and get around both. I am having a difficult time finding these "vastly superior" ingredients in Europe that you speak of.
It's like an anti pattern, right?
If you are able to infer anything about what the author thinks postmodernism is then you are a much deeper thinker than I am.

I will give the author credit for (exactly) one thing. They used the word postmodernism but didn't define it as a box containing everything they don't like and perceive as less than 100 years old.

In that sense, they are better than tens of thousands of other internet essayists. Might want to lay off the DMT though.
You can even eat Ghenghis Khan and Mont Blanc at a viking.

Carbon steel deforms over heat. Also leaks oil through the pores. Or maybe I should have bought a more expensive pancake pan? Otherwise I like it; using both but I am extra careful with the cast iron.
I once bought a whole 6-8 inch block of dry-ice frozen escolar from some online sushi website and it caused some diarrhea (though not in any really bad way like an upset stomach—it just really lubricated your bowels). Also you'd have to eat a lot of it in one sitting. I read that it was due to indigestible oils, not histamines though.
I know it's more fun to think of an AI takeover but given the current rate of climate change, it's also possible that our species will be extinct long before that happens.
I have a question. If there is something on localhost,why do browsers like chrome scare you into "proceed with unsafe anyways"?

Its not like I care about a mitm attack on my own computer or what if I am on 192 or 10.0 ? Isn't that inherently a non-internet access so why don't these scary warnings ingnore local devices? I know I can set up a CA for my nginx test or apache but why? What benefit other than " inculcating a habit"?

I mean I run home assistant and grafana in my local network but android tells me often its "unsafe"
Government is well intentioned but easily corrupted.

It is better to have NO regulation and have people know they need to look out for themselves, then to have the fake supervision that we have.
> The point is you'd be able to move to wherever is good if the world were free.

Which pretty much guarantees that said "wherever is good" ceases to be good.

> There are no probabilities, small or large, for black swan events. That's the point.

Actually, there are. The probability of a black swan event is unknown in some sense, but we do know one of the bounds.

Or rather, we do know something about how often they occur. We may under-estimate, but the fact that it hasn't happened often enough for us to have good bounds is, in itself, information about "how often".

But, let's run the experiment. Let Europe take in everyone who wants in and we'll see how things work out in a couple of decades.

If you're right, Europe will finally be able break free of US hegemony. If I'm right,...
Love it but quite expensive, probably a niche market at this price.
What I think is worst in the US markets is bread and cheese. They taste terrible, and bread is so bad they need to put something inside to have at least some taste. Fruits are terrible too, but they're not produced here, so that is understandable.
Among other things, it’s almost certainly the case that the web server isn’t implementing a constant-time string comparison for the URL, which enables you to brute-force the value one character at a time.

Isn't Viking, in how it is used today, such a supertype?

Slave used to mean a Slavic person, and is today used also about non-slavic þēows/thralls/servuses. The meaning has shifted. Like viking.

So every time someone clicks to that blog about container gardens, the writer/owner of the blog gets $ 0.25?

Who pays?
With money coming from where?

And how bad will SEO efforts become to get their hands on that kind of money, which is 10 times (not 1,000 times, my mistake) more than that same blog would make with advertising, if we considered a CPM rate of $ 25 ?
I always thought the Vikings were the piratical dudes on the long boats. I thought this was a common understanding, and I wondered if the author was setting up a straw man to make for an argument.

As an aside, my son asked me a few weeks ago where all the Vikings went. I explained that they definitely run the UK - the Queen is a direct descendent of William the Bastard/Conqueror. And in much of Europe the Norman Vikings contributed much to Royal bloodlines. From there these Vikings - cunningly renamed colonialists as if in deference to the author’s point - set out to plunder the world. Hello America. I’m not an historian, but this seemed like a fair retelling of history to me.
It's worth trying real wasabi at least once to know what it tastes like and appreciate it. It has hints of grass, as it should for a vegetable/root that has been recently grated, sometimes in front of you (and it must be recently grated, to not have lost its flavor). It has a slower/deeper flavor than the horseradish stuff which hits you more immediately in the nose like mustard -- real wasabi takes just a little longer. And you can definitely tell it's a plant fiber, it's not just a mushy paste like the powdered stuff.

Ask for it at higher priced places where they take a little more care about the fish quality and eventually you're bound to find some. Like so many things it's good to know the difference at least once. It's no huge loss if you only eat the horseradish the rest of the time, but at least have experienced it once!
Yeah, you need to be careful with escolar; a piece or two of nigiri is all I'd risk with it. But the reason you have to be careful with it is that, in addition to being indigestible, it's very delicious. It's something you'd want to eat a bunch of! If this article had any credibility, I'd say it's ironic that the only places I've ever had escolar served as escolar are Michelin-starred.

Publications have been trying to scare people with "counterfeit white tuna" for decades.
I vividly remember the first time I was spoiled by a family member at a restaurant. I was 8 years old, in Houston to go to Astroworld, and over the protests of my parents, my grandmother bought me a large chocolate shake at a Howard Johnson's. I had never been in a restaurant with actual tables to sit down and eat before, and I wouldn't experience it again until I was being honored by the plant manager at my dad's employer my senior year of high school for receiving a national merit scholarship.
I'd say this is a pretty accurate comment

> A víkingr was someone who went on expeditions, usually abroad, usually by sea, and usually in a group with other víkingar (the plural). Víkingr did not imply any particular ethnicity and it was a fairly neutral term, which could be used of one’s own group or another group. *

So basically it was a blanket term for [military and civilian] sailors

You're getting "flack" because you've got the cause and effect backwards: immigrants are regularly suckered into purchasing or investing in losing schemes, with the hopes of attaining the "American Dream" that they've heard so much about.

Running an independent hotel is an exercise in devaluing one's own (and one's family's) labor. Immigrants are one of a handful of demographics who are desperate or anxious enough to go in on it.

Can you elaborate more on the bugs that you experienced? I used to be a Superhuman customer, but ultimately cancelled because I found Hey's stance on email to be much more attractive.

Nice, quick implementation. It's cool that it's all client side. People have pointed out the weaknesses as far as non-crushes brute forcing the answer but still this is interesting. I'll have to digest the implications more. I created https://aytwit.com/thoughter which takes the basic idea here to a much more involved extreme. It got some good traction on hackers news a few years ago and I've improved it a lot since then. I still want to make some improvements as far as moving more of the cryptography client-side so people don't have to trust my server as much, yet not ALL client side like this for more convenience and privacy.

Thanks for the submission!

"The oat avenins and globulins showed opposite trends compared with their wheat orthologues in gene copy number, protein length and enrichment in glutamine and asparagine residues that serve as a nitrogen storage sink (Extended Data Fig. 10a). Together with pronounced differences in transcription factor-binding sites specific to the nitrate response (Extended Data Fig. 10b and Supplementary Table 15), this may contribute to the primary role of oat globulins in nitrogen storage. These results confirm that the genomic organization, sequence characteristics and expression patterns of oat storage proteins share more similarities with rice and dicotyledonous plants than with wheat and other gluten-rich cereals40,41."
By all means, eat what you want to eat. No judgment. I was just trying to understand the difference between "dessert topping tomato sauce" snobbery and "gravy from a mysterious powder that is secretly mostly corn starch" hypothetical practicality. There seems to be a contradiction? Scratch gravy takes like 20% longer than envelope-of-mysterious-powder gravy, while good tomato sauce takes hours. Of course, you can make it on the weekend and throw it in the freezer, but the same is true of homemade stock and basically every other prepared ingredient. (including gravy!)

I literally do have multiple boomer-generation family members who cannot make a gravy from scratch. The "greatest" generation folks in my family, while we still had them around, were also not outstanding cooks. They had an excuse, because they grew up in shotgun cabins eating government commodities. I'm not so sure about the boomers...

Yeah - which is why I don't think the VC industry as it is currently formulated is the right vehicle to do the next leg of the journey.

But that's ok. We don't have to stick with the current formula - other options exist in the phase space. We don't want to throw out the fanta aston growth of the past 200 years, but we do want to ... fine tune it to provide similar benefits, at different social costs/benefits.

From a longer term perspective, the VC money is not "theirs" - this is an investment in the future of the species.

I think there are three questions

1. How do we discover fundamental breakthroughs (steam turbines, E=mc2, new drugs). Tax funded edication and universities is mostly the answer (R&D labs at companies so big they look like government departments also help). I think we could double the science budget in every western country every five years for decades before hitting some negative feedbacks

2. How to build out the skeletons of these breakthroughs (ie when we got electricity in the 1900s the question was how to build wires to every house. Yes the initial rush was privately funded but that was about two blocks of NYC. The continent wide rollout was ... tax funded. How will we move from oil and gas to (Inpresume) solar. It will need more wires, different home and industry power plants (gas boilers etc).

3. finally the foam on top - the tech startups etc. How to encourage these - speed them up, have them deliver different social and industry outcomes. my take is to stop doing what we currently do, which give us the current outcomes (oh look another MIT graduate being asked to scale for growth) and find different founders in different places.

I think YC itself is trying to answer many of these questions - they have pushed out to fund startups outside USA, they are choosing outside the SaaS window and are looking at fundamental ideas (fusion startups!). But honestly compared to (effective) government funding they are a drop in the ocean. but it seems they point in the direction Inwoukd too.

You're right, I forgot about the cheese shops, because in France I wouldn't have to go out of my way to find good cheese.

But, "Bread is indistinguishable"? WAT? Really? I guess we have different tastes. Other than some sourdough there is no bread I've had that I like in SF. That definitely varies by country in Europe. Hard to find good bread in Germany and some of those northern countries have their interesting breads that are an acquired taste I have yet to acquire.

My impression of fish in SF, LA, Seattle, NYC, Baltimore, is it's not close to France and Japan. The selection is small, the quality mediocre. Maybe like cheese there's some speciality shops I'm forgetting.

> I mean if everyone just ignored race there would literally be no racism.

But that's the problem, it's not possible because even if you try, unconscious bias means we all fail to ignore race (and gender, and height, and all these other things about people). The only thing you can do is accept that race bias exists and learn about how to unbias as much as possible. A lot of corporate trainings involve unbiasing exercises that are really helpful if you go into it with the right mindset (discovering your biases and then working to be vigilant about them).
