> Perhaps this is why things keep getting reinvented all the time

This is a good thing, in my opinion. Not only does reinventing something give a new generation an opportunity to learn how to design, but it also gives that new generation context and knowledge about the product when it is complete.

> we don't learn from previous generation's experience

This is a serious cultural failure (and it happens globally). Very few of us sincerely engage with the past, in my opinion, because it takes a lot of effort to do so. And either it's not worth the effort on an individual level, or we haven't been allocated the time/resources by management that it would take to sincerely engage with the past.
If you access any of our websites (or other methods) … you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement - https://help.doordash.com/consumers/s/terms-and-conditions-u...

The T&C attempts to bind “merchants” to the “Self-Delivery Product Addendum”, which states: Merchant shall ensure that pricing of Merchant Products under the PickUp Program is not greater than the pricing of the same Merchant Products for pickup (a) in-store - https://help.doordash.com/merchants/s/us-addendum-self-deliv...

So it’s expressly prohibited. But are they bound to the additional merchant provisions if they never signed up to be a merchant?
A link to a great resource for learning about peppers and fermentation, replete with many good recipes: https://m.youtube.com/c/Chillichump (Chilli Chump)

Edit for intriguing experiment of mine: I originally began experimenting with fermented chillis due to a suspected h-pylori infection. My reasons were a) h-pylori seems to swim away from capsaicin, possibly encouraging it to develop an excessive biofilm, thus contributing to its own isolation, b) capsaicin, despite its apparent burning effect, can be helpful with ulcers due in part to encouraging healthy mucous formation and c) the lactobacillus and other probiotic factors involved. I believe this was critical in abolishing a rather nasty ulcer that nearly debilitated me.
Your method works, but to make it easier to keep the food below the brine, I put a tiny bowl (like you'd use for spices when prepping) inside the mason jar to push things down while still allowing it to bubble. Cover with a piece of cheesecloth and a rubber band.

Food below the brine is key, it will mold otherwise (as I've learned the hard way...).
That moment when your body really understands that it is in fact 1 or 2 in the morning, but you can't sleep on a plane. I'd nod off repeatedly, only to instantly wake back up again. I'm quite jealous of people who can just conk out on a plane, but it does not work for me.
Which stock market? The S&P 500 was down maybe like 23% from all time highs this year, and currently trending upwards
My co-founders asked for a €150k salary (Seed). What is your take on this?
My co-founders asked for an initial salary of €150k. To me that seems too high for an early stage (seed) startup. IMHO, the purpose of a founder's salary is to cover monthly expenses so we can focus on building the business.

Expenses are higher when there is a mortgage and kids involved. That's fine. But I think our focus should be more on how we invest financial resources in infrastructure, innovation and employees in the most value-creating way.

I wonder what motivated them to ask for €150k and whether they are co-founding for the right reasons.

What is your take on this?
Millions in taxes. Did you make billions last year??
Shockingly, most food delivery people don’t use cars…

This is the weirdest straw man. Scooters are cheaper to operate and faster if there’s any traffic.

Indeed. That is why you have:
at : Behavior α → Time → α
which is a pull based continuous data type. This is a very elegant concept but comes with its own set of difficulties if implemented naively (space and time leaks).

A similar concept is shown here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2000/0...

Imo the main problem in the end is/was that not many problems are that conveniently described as continuous. Discrete and push based (rx) can do most things and even that is overused. It makes problems that are otherwise very hard, much easier to describe and solve using the many powerful combinators https://www.learnrxjs.io/learn-rxjs/operators

On the other hand you make all those easy problems quite a bit harder and if you are not disciplined you end up with complex rx "queries" that have semantics that you dont understand.
at least in the US doordash already reached more than 50%. i believe if it can be argued that it was only able to achieve this through predatory pricing then at this point it should be possible to stop it from continuing that pricing strategy.

I wonder what went through their heads when they chose BTC over a lot of other cryptos. ETH, BTC, LTC, and others from early crypto days might have baggage but I believe there's a healthy amount of cryptos that are stable-ish (more stable than some national currencies) and could be good store of value.

This might be analogous to the adoption of socialism by countries as well, well-intended but horribly executed.

I trust the app to be a more reliable intermediary between me and the restaurant rather than ordering directly. I trust that the app is more technically sound (I've had problems ordering from 'bespoke' apps and websites) and won't forget my order or route it to different city/country or something (things that have happened). Some apps offer tracking of the courier (can be nice to have) and give features that 'bespoke' options don't have.

Also, you get reviews and discoverability of options. I can go to a different city and see all the delivery options immediately.

Unlike a lot of people here, I've had great experiences with food delivery apps. Not doordash (not a thing where I live), but others. I knew people working as delivery bikers and they said it can be a decent way to earn a living while you're studying. The flexible nature of the work lends itself well to that.
I used to work in the games industry, which was me trying to feed my family and pursue an art passion at the same time. It wasn’t great at either: pay is low and the art you get to make not so fulfilling.

I switched a few years ago to splitting these apart: I (1) got a non art tech job that I love (which is key) and that pays great, and (2) I started doing pure artistic games on the side as a hobby, no need for money from them.

I am much, much happier. I think many people, my past self included, cause themselves a lot of pain by trying to lump everything together. If someone loves baking pie no one says “When are you going to quit your job and open a bakery?!” It’s just fun! Why does it need to pay the bills?
Disfunctional super strength doesn't happen by accident, it's typically the result of many years of hard training and drug use. Most people who lift weights regularly will never develop super strength, they'll simply develop "normal" strength and have a better life. There are reasons to believe that focusing on conditioning isn't a good idea.
Assimilating something native into a serviceable React Native component isn't particularly difficult, but reimplementing that component from scratch on one or two other unfamiliar platforms (otherwise, why are you using React Native?) might be expensive.
Register as a driver. Make a cart that holds 50 pizza boxes.Load 50 boxes, place order, capture this order as yours the moment it is placed you wheel the cart out and sign for it. Wheel the cart back with the same empty 50 boxes go through the payment rigmarole, tip etc ~~ 5-10 minute delivery gap.
Repeat 6-12 times/hour.
The question is:-Are there 5000 or 10,000 drivers out there doing this? There are probably $200 million worth or more...
Out of curiosity, what level did you achieve? This isn't a criticism, I think it would help color your perspective.

[edit] For instance this is the kind of thing I'd expect to hear from like an E3/E4. An E5 knows what to do to get to E6 and understands the value. An E6+ would never have achieved the level with this perspective.
The lousy towing performance probably doesn't matter. 75% of truck owners tow one time a year or less. I've had my F-150 for 8 years 45,000 miles, and it's seen a trailer 3 times for a total of less than 400 miles. I'm close to being in the market for a new truck, and the biggest deal breaker for me with the lightning is the 5.5' box instead of the 6.5' box. Weighing over 6,000 lbs also means you can't register it as a passenger vehicle in NYS without capping it - meaning you can't drive on the parkways.

You'd think so, but Google allows people to claim businesses without so much as a shred of proof.

Maybe they have their own heuristics, who knows. When my FIL started a sunflower farm, I wrote a nice review and google offered to have me claim the page.

ASP.NET is rumored to drop the "Core" name somewhere in major version 7/8/9, just as .NET dropped "Core" in .NET 5, which is a higher version number than both sides of the fork. There was briefly an ASP.NET 6 (technically, the baroque "ASP.NET 5 MVC 6"). There's never yet been a version higher than that. I think part of the hold up there were some builds of the old Entity Framework made to version 8 or 9, and ASP.NET is not likely to drop "Core" until EF Core is able to drop "Core"?
To point A, delivery fees have been around for a while and have never gone to the driver. Is there some app or scenario in which the driver doesn't keep the entire tip? Because I'm not aware of any.

To point B, how is this tech-specific? The question was about why someone driving their car to deliver for Domino's is OK but driving their car to deliver for DoorDash is exploitation.
Nope. I don't think they worked anyway. (Whether they could have ever worked also seemed to have been an open question. Something about the keyboard was a lot of trouble. I think the early prototypes were a lot thinner. Possibly unmanufacturably thinner.)
You might enjoy The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect [1]. It addresses these themes quite directly.

The thing is, we're sort of talking (still somewhat hypothetically) about the Internet becoming more like hard drugs here in terms of entertainment/pleasure/addiction potential, which puts pretty much everyone except for (by HN standards) serious conservatives in a bind on slamming social media: liberals like me and the many libertarians on here usually feel that the War on Drugs has been a catastrophe, alongside pretty much all prohibition aimed at people who are turning to escapism because the rungs of the real-world achievement ladder have been knocked out above them.

I personally believe that explosive growth in escapism (see: opioid crisis) is driven by shitty opportunities in the real world. There is always going to be some set of highly potent diversions, and there will always be some fraction of the population that has a hard enough time with them to need professional help. But IMO none of Internet pornography, painkillers, video games, or crazy-optimized recommender systems are going to destroy lives and societies in job lots if those societies have high mobility in real-word achievement. So, not our society right now.

I'm probably biased having worked in social media in my life, but the flip side is that I also know how how the sausage is made, I think that sort of balances out. Everyone has to form their own opinion here, my point can be TLDR'd as: "decriminalize drugs" and simultaneously "fuck TikTok" isn't really a consistent worldview. It's reasonable to say "fuck marketing TikTok to children" alongside "decriminalize drugs", and I'd probably agree with both.

you can also get glass fermentation weights that are made to fit inside the mouths of mason jars. we've had good luck with those.

other nice simple one is the silicon nipple looking covers. just screw it onto the mason jar and it self burps
Not terribly insightful. You could say the same for dog haircuts.
>Mazda is apparently taking the right approach here -- increasing the tactile buttons on the dash and console, and ditching touchscreens.

Huh? After using both Ford's (2022 Explorer) and Mazda's (2022 CX-7) infotainment systems recently for several weeks, I couldn't disagree more.

Android Auto and CarPlay interfaces were designed for touchscreen control. Mazda forcing the use of a wheel, like a joystick is a safety hazard. Turing the wheel unpredictably selects objects on the screen, forcing you to keep your eyes off the road while you keep turning the wheel until the item you need is selected. In Ford's system, a quick glace us all that's required.

What good is tactile feedback when you have no idea what you're adjusting without staring at the screen?
I just scanned through the TOS. The only thing I could find that's related to this at all is a clause saying that you won't submit a review or rating "for any Merchant or business for which you have an ownership interest, employment relationship or other affiliation or for any of that company’s competitors"

Nothing about not ordering from your own business.
Never had the urge to distro hop after settling on Gentoo, 12 years ago. I've not seen a better package manager in all that time, just amazing.
It's a car. Not a semi truck. The delivery driver isn't treating the car as a capital investment that is used to make money delivering stuff. The overwhelming of them are just taking advantage of a car they already have.

Who paid for the great works of music in the period between 1700 and 1918? From such musicians as Liszt, Beethoven, Mozart, Bartok, Handel, Debussy, Bach etc... there were a heck of a lot of great composers in that period. I was analyzing Bach the other day. His Brandenburg Concerto #2 has tens of thousands of notes. That is a heck of a lot of work.
Agree, it is fun :-) Kefir is even easier than yogurt once you get the grains.
In fact, the Mona Lisa didn't become an iconic painting to the general public for a very long time.

But, in general, while there's a lot of variation in musical styles/art styles/etc. that a given person likes, I find that there's fairly broad agreement that an expert list of, say, the 50 top classic rock songs are pretty good--among people who like classic rock even if they might disagree on the order.
Disclaimer: I love MidJourney. It's the most provocative and addictive tool I've played with on a computer for many a year.

Largely agree with AW the OP, but think the question of "what art are we talking about" needs more air.

A lot of the turmoil around these tools appears to be about the threat they pose to the careers of artists and designers (and soon, most related domains). But some of the simple versions of this story (not this one) overlook the nuances IMO.

Some of those being,

- the distinction between "fine" art in the commercial "art world" gallerist sense, and graphic design/illustration/commercial art
- that professional commercial artists are going to adopt and exploit these tools with the same intrinsic advantages they have using with other tools
- that in a very short time there is already an explosion of work that uses these tools as one (large) element to produce synthetic work across media that would have been prohibitively expensive/time consuming without them

Even as a bystander, but with a background and interest as a serious and modestly successful artist in a different medium,

it's been remarkable to see just how quickly people with fewer kids, better ideas, and more time than me, seized upon these tools not as simple image-making widgets, but as sophisticated tools to exploit to generate a stream of imagery to be applied to create Other Things, both as proofs of concept, commercially, and as yes "real art" in the gallerist sense.

These things are quite obviously disruptive in a way most VC only dream of.

Idle other comments:

The "eerie" uncanny sense that scaling up the visual cortex abstraction stack toward "grandmother neurons" that these systems has, is IMO considerably more unsettling than the impact on specific industries. What we can see (literally) in these systems is a visualization (in the data viz sense) of how much further along towards AGI these things may soon be.

Their failure modes are more interesting to me than their successes. The ramifications for how they fail and how they are of course unaware of their own failure, is a true cautionary tale.

IMO those failures offer an excellent basis for "cautionary tales" and illustration to the general public of why we need oversight and governance for the deployment of these systems. It's one thing for them to produce "nightmare fuel" when asked to create kittens in the kitchen; it's another for a comparable (smaller less tuned closed-source closed-training-dataset...) system to be put in service approving mortgages, assigning credit risks, or (as made ProPublica famous) assessing whether someone is a candidate for bail.

(Highly recommended: The Alignment Problem)

Anyway. The singularity is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.
Some GPS satellites are currently broadcasting the current time with a cryptographic hash to prove that the broadcast time is the actual time[1] and authenticate the satellite as not being tampered with. It's live right now. So, as long as you can use witness encryption to prove that the broadcasted hash and signal is after a certain time, you can have true time locked encryption.

The problem is that the witness encryption is extremely inefficient with today's knowledge.

So, as long as you can trust a space agency to broadcast the current time to the entire world, you'll be fine.

Same, I moved to Miami in 2019 from Puerto Rico because I wanted to keep speaking Spanish and I had a circle of friends to help me out.

Since then housing prices have been absolutely bananas, I was fortunate to buy a house relatively cheap in Oct 2021 but now the same houses are going for $100k+ more what I paid. If you want to buy anything that is 2 bedroom you better be prepared to pay +300k starting price and probably 20% down + HOA fee and increasing interest rates are going for %5+. Yet houses are flying off the market, mostly due to institutional investors putting 100% down in cash so you can't compete or have a total of one weekend to make an offer.

So far this year alone 3 people I know have moved out of Miami all due to housing affordibility. One moved to Tampa (which used to be pricier than Miami), another to South Carolina, and another to Ft Lauderdale.

My wife wants us to stay here to raise kids but whenever she talks about buying a new house I get queesy thinking how expensive it's going to be to get a large enough place. I love the Hollywood / Ft Luaderdale area but it's only a matter of time that prices catch up.
It really depends on where the sounds were generated, in my experience. Off shore sonic booms are loud, but fairly tolerable by the time the sound makes it to the beach. But I once heard two fighters go supersonic directly overhead in eastern Washington (they were pretty high up, even so) and the booms sounded like someone tried to bash in the front of the house. Not something you'd tolerate with any regularity.
I agree but that's basically the case for literally everything: the value of everything is determined by how much someone else will pay for it. Art isn't notable for conforming to that universal law of capital valuation. Nothing, not even the most technically nutritious food or the hardest of metals, has a value beyond the demands of others.

It does become a bit circular. Just saying "the value of art is what other people judge it to be" just begs the question "how do those other people judge it?" ad infinitum. When I hear "inherent value", I usually think of a non-monetary value, a value that exists outside a system of multi-party transactions, some utility that is possible even if no one ends up using it.

For art, I believe the inherent value is what it makes you feel. If a piece of art doesn't make you feel anything, it's pointless and useless as art.

Seems pretty asinine now that the shoe is on the other foot. Here's the problem: I bought the iPhone X. I have the Macbook Pro. None of them do anything for me. Sometimes I boot up the Macbook to test a Darwin build once in a blue moon, but MacOS isn't even on my radar of daily-driver OSes right now. The BSD compatibility layer is festering, and Apple's refusal to implement modern APIs like Vulkan is childish. MacOS has been heading downhill for the better half of a decade, and Linux support on M1 is barely existent.

So, I think I'm perfectly contented to call Apple out for poor innovation. I paid their price-of-admission, now I get to leave a bad review. If you don't like the content of my feedback, don't take it personally. There are plenty of other great comments out there. Oops, maybe not so much from the technocrat-apologist crowd on Hacker News.
How come that many chains are able to employ (moped) delivery drivers above minimum wage, without surcharging the customer as much? Speaking of Europe.
