This has been happening to my org more and more too.

It's been a combination of fake linked accounts reaching out to unsuspecting people and getting them to pay in return for getting priority access to the recruitment queue. Sadly, it works - we have had people show up at our offices for their non-existent interview. They tend to get very irate when you explain that they were scammed.
I'm not sure I see the ethics violation. DoorDash was paying them full price and charging their customers less, which meant DoorDash was paying out of pocket to under-cut the restaurant's prices.

If anything DoorDash is the unethical actor because it can cost the restaurant future business. Imagine you're a customer and you're faced with choosing to buy directly from the restaurant (for $24 a pizza) or order through DoorDash (for $16 a pizza). You're going to choose DoorDash. You are now a DoorDash customer, not a direct customer of the restaurant. Now imagine the restaurant has it's own in-house delivery service. DoorDash is undercutting the restaurant's prices to put the restaurant's drivers out of work by heavily incentivizing customers to purchase through DoorDash, all without even consulting the restaurant!

Then factor in that people might mistake bad service from DoorDash as bad service by the restaurant, resulting in negative Yelp reviews and lost business and things kind of start to border on fraud a little bit.

For the restaurant to realize that they can game DoorDash back to try and recoup some of the damage that DoorDash is causing them is not unethical in my opinion. It's the restaurant's business that DoorDash is messing with and the restaurant has every right to recoup every penny of damage caused... and DoorDash has contractually agreed to it by agreeing to pay what the restaurant is asking literally everyone to pay.
I found:

1. When I am on business trips and getting reimbursed, I don't care. It's "other people's money"

2. The food delivery services have made it possible for us to have one car off an on since 2020 and not have to pay for two cars. In fact, we just sold our newer car back to the dealer and are sharing one car now saving us $900+ a month in car insurance, car payments, gas, maintenance, etc.

We don't plan to have a car for the next three years as we embark on our "digital nomad" existence.

If I can get away without ever having a car again, I will. It just doesn't make sense for me as someone who works remotely and has grown kids and really only needs to get out on the weekend to deal with paying for a car just to sit in the garage most of the time.
Apple Ends Partnership with Former Design Chief Jony Ive
> This doesn’t mean anything to me. Can you elaborate?

Taleb elaborates better in his very accessible book(s). The basic idea is to invest/use most of your net worth in “safe” investments, those primarily keeping up with inflation or just barely beating it. If shit hits the fan, you have a cushion to fall back on.

Anything beyond keeping you safe and comfortable enough should go chasing the highest returns possible. So you can partake in as much upside as possible.

Startup comp follows this logic. Enough salary to fund your life and basic savings, equity to chase high upside.

Revenue generating assets are nice because you don’t just need to sell for a higher price to make a return. They have intrinsic value. For example owning a profitable business or a rental property.

At least for a small site, you don't actually need a plugin to get hot reloading using esbuild:

"scripts": {
"build": "esbuild src/app.ts src/app.css --bundle --sourcemap --outdir=site",
"dev": "npm run build -- --servedir=site",
}

Unless you mean something different by "hot reloading" than "recompile on page reload?"

Raku, previously known as Perl6, has this[1].

You can also pull out the "Where" clause to ouside the function and make it define a new type.

I do that every time a recruiter cold calls me about an opportunity without mentioning the company, if the opportunity sounds interesting.
What I've found is that normally, the consumer - restaurant contract is between two parties. I pay food, I get to eat. If there's a problem, I tell the restaurant, and they fix it. There's ample opportunity to find an amicable resolution to any issues that arise.

When you add DoorDash or any other third party delivery service into the equation, you add two more parties to this - the service itself, and the driver, who is usually an independent contractor.

What this has led to in my experience is that when something goes wrong, instead of me working it out with the restaurant, I am left frustrated, hungry, and hung out to dry by three parties - the restaurant, the platform, and the contractor.

If you read enough of the DoorDash subreddit[1], you realize that a tip is not a gratuity for good service, it's a bid for an independent contractor to take up your delivery. However, you have no ability to choose which Dasher takes it, and they are under no obligation to represent you as your agent or look out for your interests. So if they show up and the food is cold, not their problem, they get the tip because they accepted the bid.

When DoorDash had a major outage some time back, I had placed an order for about $70, generous tip (because I realize it's really a bid) and fees included. My order was prepared and ready for pick up just as the whole platform went down. It was impossible to cancel my order, because DoorDash was down, so I made alternate arrangements for dinner and figure I'll reach out for a refund when things are back up.

About three hours later, I get a notification that my order is out for delivery. The optimist in me hoped that the restaurant saw that some food sat out in the "danger zone" for several hours and remade it, or that the Dasher realized that the containers weren't the slightest bit warm, or something like that, but nope. I got dropped off a lot of food that was beyond safe to eat, not even worth saving to have as leftovers for a later meal, and now I have to dispose of all of it.

When I finally got through to support later that night, I asked for a refund, and they said they could only give me a credit for the meal, not the tip. I said I want the whole order refunded to my original payment, they said well, here's a credit and it will convert over to that later. One week and several phone calls later, they stopped telling me it was "too late to get a refund" and I got my refund and uninstalled the app. I don't need that negative energy in my life.

BBC Basic did not exist at the time; all Acorn had was Atom Basic.

Aneutronic fusion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion) - some fusion reactions simply don't result in many neutrons being created, rather all protons and electrons being created.

When a neutron is created, it has a lot of energy (heat) and it has 0 charge. This means it cannot be contained by electric/magnetic fields, and it cannot create an electric potential in metal directly. It must run into something else, transfer it's heat energy, and that something else must then transfer energy into electricity (usually this means heat up some water and run a turbine).

That's hard, lossy, and messy. And it's how all major fusion projects have always worked (including ITER). If instead, someone got an aneutronic fusion reaction to work (no theoretical issues, just engineering problems), they could produce pure protons and electrons, trap them with an electric field, and use the high speed motion of the charged particles to induce a current/voltage in a nearby metal.

This would solve the following problems:
1. Easy to contain high temperature outputs
2. Easy to protect the inner wall of a reactor (minimal interaction due to electric repulsion)
3. Easy to generate useful (electric) energy from heat energy

This would definitely be a gamechanger. It's like going from "use the sun to boil this water and turn the turbine" to "use the sun to induce a photoelectric effect." Categorical difference.
The nihilistic trap of spending time with my wife and children?
> Originally, my plan was to use it for a house down-payment, but with the mortgage rates having nearly doubled in the last 6 months, that's kind of out of the question at this point (especially having moved to a higher property value area to be closer to friends and family).

Higher interest rates lead to lower home prices, which should make it easier to make a down payment. Interest rates may double, but mortgage payment amounts typically end up staying the same. You are in a prime position to buy a house. In the next 30 years, mortgage rates will likely decrease and you can refinance to a better rate, and end up paying a lower price for your house than what you would have had mortgage rates stayed low.
You should thank Fed for pumping up stocks and keeping interest rate below inflation.

> 1. Pretty much everything is request-scoped. This makes it a lot harder to leak resources when everything is torn down;

I write PHP every day (just took a break from that to be here) and the request scoped content is both a nice thing and a pain in the ass some times. It's great that each request is on it's own - really handy for cleanup like you mentioned. There are some thing I want to be shared though, like a DB connection pool, a caching layer (one layer below my Redis layer), and clients for various other services.

Not the end of the world, but an example is AWS Secrets Manager libraries for Python support secrets caching, but they can't offer that in PHP since we won't be able to share the objects. You can use the file system, but that comes with its own hosts of quirks.

That said, PHP really is a fine language. I'm personally not a fan of the use of truthy/falsy values, but they've really dove head first into solid type support. Lot's of good progress has been made with it.

I think a German court would ask in such cases which has more weight: a) your interest in security, or b) your neighbour's interest in privacy. I think the default is b), but there are cases where a) has more weight, for example if your house was already broken into and you can reasonably explain why this exact angle is crucial for your security. Just catching some flowers in the picture does not make a strong case for b).
Most discussion I see around this topic lacks nuance which exists at every step of the value chain.

One example is the dichotomous nature of regenerative agriculture and GM crops. The average person generally takes a very argumentative position on this one, when in reality the two are not mutually exclusive.

Another example is how the industry operates in terms of corporate influence, academia, and allocation of funding. Which leads to the discussion of subsidies, staple crops, livestock feed, GHG emissions, and how to realistically transition to a more sustainable system. When folks talk about GHG mitigation, they often get it wrong. There is some great literature available on this topic in Nature Food Journal.

But in general, I wish people wouldn't reduce the topic to a wedge issue. Having a firm understanding of the entire system and its nuance is the only way to come up viable solutions.

I'm happy to try and answer any specific questions that may come to mind.

>I think it's totally uncalled for to call me a creep. I'm saying other people

No I think it is called for, you clearly aren't getting it. The things you are saying, the behavior you're outlining and the justifications you are giving for it make you a creep.

>can point their cameras at my yard. When I point my camera I seriously consider

>that others don't share my values. And if they came over and asked nicely, I'd

So you perform an act of intimidation[1], and then expect your neighbors to come to you and ask that you stop? This is not the behavior of a good person, no matter what you've convinced yourself. Good people do not intimidate their neighbors and then expect to be given the benefit of the doubt on top of it. This is the kind of thing a creep does to force interaction with them and then escalate their intimidation tactics.

If you truly weren't a creep and you wanted to put a camera up, you'd ask your neighbors for permission first. Get their consent and then proceed only if they give it. So really at best you're a creep who doesn't see a problem with intimidating their neighbors at worst you're someone who doesn't understand or care about consent.

>move the camera (it currently points at a neighbor's driveway). At least I'm

>open and honest about it.

Seriously, nothing about your responses here are showing that you're open and honest. You sound entitled and presumptuous. I'd invite you to please try to view this from a perspective that isn't your own.

[1] You started out saying this, remember? - "The camera may be acting as a deterrent (if they didn't have any additional thefts) without it being obvious."

The camera is acting as a deterrent by being intimidating, so at least you agree that a camera can be intimidating.
