Slack has been great for my company for about seven years now. There is a feeling that the development stalled a couple of years ago, probably due to Salesforce, Teams' market sweep and struggling to keep up with Discord's feature set, however, Slack still feels very polished for me -- a long time ago I've tried Mattermost and immediately noticed quite a lot of "paper cuts", tiny problems like wacky keyboard focus control that would be ignorable if I didn't know that Slack gets them right.

Teams is a nightmare. Don't get me wrong: I like Teams just because it's not Office Communicator/Lync/Skype for Business anymore, i.e. I can actually chat with people, but it's abysmal in every other way. Just today, I tried copy&pasting a quote, so I typed in "> ", the quote box appeared, but I couldn't leave the box anymore (to add a comment to the quote). Moving around with keyboard, clicking with the mouse didn't help. I tried inserting a couple of empty lines before pasting and noticed that I can move down in the text with the down arrow key, but the up arrow key would switch me to the "edit previous message" mode. And this stuff is everywhere and I'm not even talking about elementary stuff like being unable to stay logged in into different workspaces in different browser tabs at the same time. I'm happy to be using Slack right now and it pains me immensely that their fate is basically set, since their enterprise market share has been mostly eaten by Teams, they are way behind by user count and it will get even worse with Google Chat on the rise (which probably sucks too, but haven't tried it).

You asked me exactly what "instrinsics" are people being stripped from. So according to that article, people are being robbed of the ability of proving their own identity. If that startup succeeds, people will no longer be able to prove their identity other than thru them. This is really dangerous stuff.

You see, the mistake you made here is assuming that without understanding the details you can't come to any conclusions. But that is wrong. There's some things that I don't need to know the details of to accurately determine they're nefarious.

So again, they're all scumbags.
> it's not exactly clear to me what happened to cause the lower price (I would assume 'no fees' just means the price would be the same as at the restaurant, not lower)

I believe I read elsewhere that DoorDash would (in addition to not charging fees) underprice items during their "restaurant acquisition period" as an additional way to inflate sales numbers, so when they go to the restaurant to negotiate a deal, they can say "in the past month we delivered 500 of your pizzas to customers! With your $24 price, that's $12,000!" ... while they conveniently hide that DD themselves only charged $16 per pie, and it doesn't take an economist to understand that more people will buy a product if you reduce its price by a third. Or, more relevantly, fewer people will buy a product if you "increase" its price by 50%.

I've been walking in the neighborhoods I've lived in everyday for literal decades, and this only became a problem recently.

The difference here is that Ring and its companion apps like Neighbors continuously send their users scary alerts and video clips of innocuous neighborhood activities they'd otherwise miss entirely, or just ignore. I see this all the time with such apps like Nextdoor and Neighbors, where in the past loud sounds in the summer would be written off as fireworks and ignored, but now we have legions of people working themselves into frenzies about how "gun shots" were detected, with calls to action for video evidence of the "perpetrators". What then happens is that people start sharing clips of their neighbors doing essentially nothing and accusing them of actually committing crimes.

With Doordash and co the fees over the normal cost of food are so high that even vs traditional delivery fees you're overpaying.

-

Off the top of my head, yesterday I passed a billboard for McDonalds advertising two large sandwiches for $6.

Lets open Uber Eats and try ordering two Big Macs... $13.68

So they don't carry the deals. Not looking good already.

Went to checkout...

$1.49 delivery fee for a place 6 minutes away. Fair enough.

$3.27 service fee. The explanation text is implying the cost of servicing my order (orchestration essentially) is more than double the cost of delivery.

$2.00 CA Driver Benefits fee. Delivery drivers were always employees of independent stores, but Uber took such offense to being forced to provide healthcare that they itemize the cost.

Grand total comes out to $20 before tax. For a $6 meal in store.

-

And in case you were thinking "Well Uber isn't DoorDash" this whole time... DoorDash comes out to $22 before tax.

Has a "traditional" delivery place ever charged you a 60% delivery fee?

It's so absurd I even tried increasing the order size... the ratio of price of fees to price of food actually went up!

And all this is before tips!
Looks have been a basis for attraction and rejection for as long as we've been noticing them. There are no public accommodations for affection, and public accommodations for sex are unusual. I've encountered far more women who will happily avoid sex with men if none fit their taste (choosing toys and other women) than women who complain that men won't bed them, and they seem to think their preferences are true for all women. I guess the femcels do exist, and if you truly can't find anyone yet want to it's a lonely world. The male incels I've seen pictures of look perfectly normal, so for them it's more that they're jerks than anything else. The r/Vindicta pictures I've seen are of fine looking women trying to look like models, which makes little sense.
I much prefer WPS4WIN which implements OS/2's WorkPlace Shell on Windows 3.x. Here are some screenshots: http://toastytech.com/guis/wps.html

I combine this with a Windows 3.x tool called MAKEOVER which lets you edit the window buttons in your video driver. This lets me make the window buttons in the Windows apps look like OS/2 buttons.

I do think a lot of people discount China's willingness to destroy it's economy and kill half it's population to achieve questionable goals. As you're article points out it's going to be really interesting watching China fall out of the top 10 of GDP if it really goes down this route. It was a poor country before but once the population gets a taste of success I can only imagine it ends in revolt.
`100` could be the employee id more than a name of the employee. So a query for id 100 returns the information associated with that id, nominally that it is currently free and not associated with any employee.

I like a lot of things about Clickhouse but one thing I'm afraid of is what happens when your data won't fit on a single machine. The replication and sharding seems pretty difficult and from reading the documentation feels like it might be pretty fragile.

I think once you reach that scale, systems that completely separate data and compute (like snowflake or trino+s3) are much less of a pain to run since even if you completely blow up your compute the data stays.

> Does anyone have some recommendations on what GUIs I could give our PMs to work with ClickHouse instead of writing queries? All SaaS I found didn't support ClickHouse yet or would cost us a newborn. Also what tools do your devs use when they work with ClickHouse data?

I think both Superset and Metabase were interesting choices - if you want to save money (at the expense of engineering time) you can self-host them.
The DIW, although they boast a fancy name, is registered as a lobby organization and they are.

They (Kemfert) also calculated in 2020 that - even if Russia cuts gas transfer to 0 - Europe does not need anymore LNG terminals, because we have enough and planning should be stopped.

What happened? The planning was stopped. Now we need to quickly order and build at least 2 LNG terminals in Germany and are in the midst of an energy crisis (yes, including power).

If they are not able to calculate something that easy, you should not trust them with way more complex calculations. Especially because they are a lobby org.

I really don't understand logic behind that price other than we can just charge that much. Material doesn't change that much, I doubt the ratio of staff to students need to be very low either... No special or expensive equipment is needed either...

The VCs could make money if everyone became dependent on it, they drove the actual delivery restaurants out of the market, and then jacked prices.

Yeah those seem like run of the mill parts easily replaceable with another board.
A slam dunk? Oh, I don't know. The confusion over the bots is real. The financial value of all of these social networks is 100% dependent on the number of real eyeballs that can be sold to advertisers. They've been claiming less than 5% for years and all of a sudden, they started hedging their claims. Then the head of data science left.

If you ask me, the real problem for the social networks is click fraud and this is just the first cut.

Furthermore, now that Twitter has filed the law suit, the defendant (Musk) gets to ask for discovery to defend himself. Twitter is going to have to turn over the data anyway.

> Most people were not able to afford butlers or drivers before, and DoorDash or Uber have not changed that basic fact, even if the butler/driver is split over 3 customers per hour.

I disagree - delivered food has been a thing for a long time, back in the day done by employees of the restaurant itself.

If it can work despite the driver being limited to a very specific restaurant, it should work better if the driver can be load-balanced across a wide range of restaurants near their current position to minimize downtime and travel time (in case of a driver owned by a specific restaurant, the journey back after their final delivery is a loss - doesn’t have to happen if they’re no longer bound to that specific restaurant and can deliver another restaurant’s food on that otherwise-lost journey).
Don't give them ideas. The one thing I don't need right now is Microsoft killing Linux compatibility in Teams.

The spec may say one thing in this context, but that is only guidance. Technically, the response header says nothing about the body: they are entirely separate things. You can have any response code, and a body may or may not be present, regardless of the spec.

So yes, it is correct to say that response codes say nothing about the body.

> After the release of the iPhone the head of the LG Mobile Handset R&D Center was quoted saying he believed Apple had stolen the idea from the KE850 after it was announced as part of the iF Design Award.

Huh, interesting! Duly noted.

This provides an example of my point: even though the Samsung Galaxy, the iPhone, and the KE850 are all using the same basic slab design pioneered (apparently!) by LG, they all have distinct visual identities.

In contrast the Nothing Phone is mostly just cribbing off of the iPhone.

They need to take what they did w/ the LED area and apply the same design language to the rest of the phone.

Yup, and the same people are outraged that people are posting home address details of Supreme Court Justices. The same court that ruled it was legal to post the home address of obstetricians so people could protest in front of their homes.

I really don't understand why Teams is so frikkin' popular.

Anyone who ever used something else than Teams before the pandemic knows how bad a chat app it is, but since eg. management folk never used that stuff before the pandemic but now had to also WFH, they already had Teams from day 1 (M$ pre-installs it I guess, Linux-only guy here), so they forced that horseshit on everyone.

There really is no other excuse for it being the default in many cases these days. But it's absolute terrible.

I do freelance work so I really can convert 40 min into money when I want to.

> avoiding 40 minutes of driving time might be worth $10 to you

My point was that avoiding 40 minutes is worth the price increase for almost everyone, not just me! You’d have to go out of your way to find exceptions such as the GP’s McDonald’s deal.

And yeah doordash pretty much forces you to order at least $12 off food which often works out to 2 meals. I’m sure a lot of orders are larger too.
I agree with you and don't understand why you are being downvoted. If the second quater GDP growth comes back negative and it proves that we are in a recession, then the fed will have to halt the interest rate hikes. That will prolong the high inflationary period.
Only one company must win for this to work. If they compete (and use their respective VC’s money to subsidise orders) then they all lose.
It didn’t work well at all. We had frequent economic panics all through the 1800s and early 1900s.

When the US rose to power (1930s to 1940s) gold was mostly not used in practice due to international traffic being mostly blocked (due to nationalist impulses during the Depression) or under heavy credit (during WW2). There’s a decent argument to be made gold caused the Great Depression or at least exacerbated it.

The “gold standard” system that started under Breton Woods (1944-1971) was basically a polite fiction, and when someone called the fiction it died.

A gold standard would be totally unworkable for today’s trade. It barely served the fledgling globalism of the 1920s.
Food delivery is a viable business but only if the objective is truly "food delivery" and not "growth & engagement at all costs".

Exactly. But not every restaurant is ideal for food delivery. That's where these delivery companies go wrong.

We've had pizza delivery for at least half a century. If you lived in an area with enough density, you might also be lucky enough to have a Chinese place that delivered. Maybe McDonald's, or one or two others, again with enough density.

Starbucks? Dunkin' Donuts? There's no margin there to make money on delivery, unless you're charging outrageous fees or being bankrolled by VC companies.
I bet if you disable the e cores it would work. Worth a try

>> People want to live in suburbs, where their residences are separated from commercial areas. This starves city and town centers, leaving only big businesses that are capable of thriving on high volume sales.

What are you supposed to do really? I grew up in an urban environment (NYC) and embraced urban living. The reality was that it wasnt sustainable w/o being a multi-millionaire. I'll give real examples.

I take a 20min subway/bus to a store purchase a terracotta planter, or perhaps a box of cat litter. You then have to carry that 5 or 10 pound item. You realize the subway isnt working, today. You need to take an express subway. Now you have to switch trains but you realize the escalator and elevator also isnt working. So you drag it up the stairs, across the tunnel, and back down the other side. You could hitch a ride on a friend's car, but there is congestion pricing, or a $11 toll on the tunnel, and throw in another $40 for parking. These things used to work in the 1990s, also in the 2000s, but eventually things all failed in a big way (and the failure of public transport was a big part of it.)

Good luck if you are disabled, or have knee problems, or have a baby+stroller also.

I tried really, really hard to live in an urban environment, but it was eventually a failure. I now live in the suburbs. We order cat litter and have it delivered to our doorstep.

No, i dont want to live in the suburb. But I cannot afford to live in the city. If I could freely take cabs everywhere like a multi-millionaire I would live in the city. Short of that, i didnt see much option to stay.

People say crazy things like "oh you should just bike everywhere." OK, how does my mom with osteoporosis bike? How does a disabled person bike? Where on the bike do you place the 10lb cat litter box?

Cat litter is just one aspect.

I would pay a decent chunk of money per month if I could get access to all news sources. But my news consumption is never done by going to a source. I just want to read articles linked from HN or Google News or Reddit, etc.

I need something like Spotify for news sources. Ad-free access to any content. I’ll pay for that. But I’m not going to subscribe to each source individually.

Edit: I would want a way to avoid paying for clickbait that I accidentally click on. Maybe sources could be paid per active-viewing-minute and definitely not for clicks.

That's not exactly true. Many states have laws outlawing recording "private" conversations without the consent of all parties. As far as I know that would even include recording someone having a private conversation with you on your own property. Whether or not someone talking on their own property and their voice carrying over their property line would qualify is up for debate.
