However, as noted previously, that sub-minimum wage is "before tips". If, over the course of a week (iirc), the waiter makes less than the actual minimum wage ($7.25 federally), then the employer must make up the difference. That being said, I would guess any wait staff that go this route on a regular basis don't wind up employed for long.
I've worked at a bank. A significant proportion of the the workforce had no idea how it works. I'd say <10% of the senior executives have the slightest clue.

But it's not 'as they wish' as you say, depending on where they operate, they are typically constrained by capital and liquidity ratios set by their regulator.

I call bullshit on the title. Those guys didn't even check recumbent bikes. And they didn't check having a cover around riders, either.

If you want to go for full efficiency, safety or practicality be damned, a recumbent that makes you lie basically flat just above the ground and covered all over should be really efficient. For maximum insanity, lie prone.

Or, since they allowed multiple riders, you could build a contraption that allows multiple people to ride in a recumbent position inside a single cover.

> Analysis of the vehicle performance showed that Eta requires less than 198 watts of pedal power at 90 km/h, which translates to a 9,544 MPGe highway fuel efficiency. According to Aerovelo, this is the highest per-passenger MPGe of any existing transportation technology at this speed.

And they didn't even ride that thing in a pack.
Yeah although that claim by gurus "naturally lazy" can also be read less absolute, as "many people are inclined to be lazy in a and b kind of circumstances". Which is not far from the truth.

Yeah I understand why people find them confusing. They trip me up too, and I write a lot of Svelte. I think it would have been better if Rich had added something like the computed/useEffect style of this concept, but it would have looked very out of place in the rest of Svelte which is probably why he didn't do it.
I see you write this a lot.

> General Freiherr von Hammerstein-Equord, the present chief of the German Army, has a method of selecting officers which strikes us as being highly original and peculiarly un-­Prussian. According to Exchange, a Berlin newspaper has printed the following as his answer to a query as to how he judged his officers:

> “I divide my officers into four classes as follows: The clever, the industrious, the lazy, and the stupid. Each officer always possesses two of these qualities.

> Those who are clever and industrious I appoint to the General Staff. Use can under certain circumstances be made of those who are stupid and lazy. The man who is clever and lazy qualifies for the highest leadership posts. He has the requisite nerves and the mental clarity for difficult decisions. But whoever is stupid and industrious must be got rid of, for he is too dangerous.”

Or

> I do not know whether your Lordships are familiar with the saying of a German General that there are four types of officer but I think that it is relevant to what we are discussing. He said that there are four types of officer: the clever and lazy, the clever and industrious, the stupid and lazy, and the stupid and industrious.

> The clever and lazy you make Chief of Staff, because he will not try to do everybody else’s work, and will always have time to think. The clever and industrious you make his deputy. The stupid and lazy you put into a line battalion, and kick him into doing a job of work. The stupid and industrious you must get rid of at once, because he is a national danger.
If the criteria used to determine net neutrality is "eating into people's limited data plan", then would you say that a poorly coded website (pretend it doesn't contain ads) that consumes 50MB of data where only 50 KB should suffice is actually a net neutrality violation?
Yes! Does Booking give stars on a curve? Because there is some serious ratings inflation happening. I once stayed in a 6/10 “room” in Spain and it was just a walk-in closet with a cot. And calling it a walk-in closet is generous. It was really more like a walk-in closet sized shed or garage that had been tacked onto the side of the house. Picture the back door of a house that when you open the door that should lead outside you instead enter a generic Home Depot type shed that has had its doors removed and been nailed to the side of the house. It was only marginally better than sleeping in a cardboard box. No one in their right mind would ever rate this “room” more than 1/10 but somehow on booking.com it was a 6??
Some fluff in this PR piece, but I love the message that molecular chemistry can now also benefit from deep learning advances, thanks to graph neural networks. Because molecules are by their nature graphs of atoms, it makes sense to learn a latent representation of a molecular entity with a GNN, and use that for various classification or prediction tasks.

Makes me wonder if the computationally expensive geometry optimization calculations using DFT etc. can be partially done by a GNN. So, pre-optimize a structure with a computationally cheaper GNN to speed up convergence.

One of the things I like about this site is the restraint (at least in comparison to other places) in substituting an argument this kind of snarky scoffing and engagement. It’s brainless.

Agriculture is already working, or was until its been starting to be shut down and curtailed due to alleged environmental issues like in the Netherlands. You can manage much larger chunks of land with plows and combines and other vehicles because of how you interact with the land when farming.

You can’t plant solar panels and have them just grow out of the ground and repair themselves and reproduce largely independently. It’s a totally different type of land use. Managing solar farms is magnitudes more effort to build and maintain than agriculture.

I'm also Canadian.

We have the same shitty system for the exact same reasons the US has their shitty system.

1) the best way to get elected is to promise people things with their own money. This creates more and more programs the government needs to fund and therefor ever more tax dollars are needed.

2) Rich people can hire lawyers and lobby their politicians. This allows them to make favourable changes to the tax code increasing its complexity. When has the tax code ever been reduced?

3) The government abuses the tax code as well. Instead of being a tool to generate revenue to pay expenses it does all sorts of "social" work as well. want your citizens to get married, change the tax code, want your citizens to buy houses, tax code... Move to the NWT, tax code.

Every time the idea of a "flat tax" comes up those who benefit from the complexity freak out. A flat tax would remove the ever-increasing complexity and loopholes so the rich protest, the government cant abuse it so they protest, Revenue canada would be cut in 1/4 so they protest...
The research paper is not about peloton riding being the most efficient locomotion. That is some weird angle this 'news' article puts on.

You'd think that it is somewhat within the owner's control because they could disclose whatever this apparently immutable fact of the property is and then people could reasonably factor this in when deciding whether to stay or not.

But presumably this is not something which is policy because it would lower the price of relevant properties which presumably affects airbnb's revenue as well.

This kind of behaviour should somehow be regulated in a similar way to advertising - if they're intentionally hiding negative information while posing as a place to reliably inform you about your stay based on the experiences of others (which is what "review" implies) then they're misleading you for profit. What they're actually running is a mislabelled testimonials section. It distorts the market by actively preventing people from accurately assessing the property's utility to them.

Ah, so across multiple environments? You do have a point, but that has nothing to do with pip - it's not an environment manager.

I have never resolved my conflict between a Christian love for my fellow human and being very fast to lose my temper with strangers. I wish I could swing to the former and away from the latter.

I feel it is rooted in a spidey-sense for detecting when people around me lack humility or competence. I am completely useless at so many things, I am self aware of this, and while I want to get better I am realistic about it never being likely to happen. I seem to encounter a significant minority of people who are not like this.

Lithium hydroxide is what you get, as thousands of tons of caustic vapor, when it catches fire.

> That distinction only matters when you have / and /usr separate, which basically never makes any sense in practicality.

No? The distinction could also be self-imposed, i.e. you just put statically linked "rescue" binaries in /sbin just for the sake of order/principle, even if it happens to be in the same disk or the same partition as /usr.

It may be absolutely pointless, but then so would be literally any other partitioning of files you can think about. E.g. what's the point of creating a directory for each program ala Windows/OSX? What's the point of making sbin vs bin? What's the point of putting data files in share instead of lib? What's the point of creating any hierarchy whatsoever instead of just throwing everything inside the same directory and let the package manager handle it?

You can find very thin arguments for all of these, most of them having to do with historical reasons or subjective reasons, like some human abstractly-defined sense of simplicity, "cleanliness" and order.
I do the same, but with pocket and the kobo aura.

>> Unless of course you think people who are bad servers don't deserve to make minimum wage.

> It's gotten to the point where people make this argument in absolute earnest

Because the way the pay works at the moment is the way the pay works at the moment, and we tip based on that. The fact that people believe the pay _shouldn't_ work that way is no excuse for not tipping your wait staff at all _today_.

> That actually furthers my point above - the side taking advantage of $2 minimum wage is the employer, not the customer.

Not really, at least not in most cases. If tips went away and the employer paid more, the prices of the meals would go up to compensate. The restaurant owners aren't making more money because of the current system; most of them aren't making a large profit. The owners aren't paying sub-minimum wage because they want to pocket the difference; they're doing it because to do otherwise would drive them out of business (because their competition is also doing it). You need to change the rules for everyone in order for almost anyone to do better.

Eh I’m not really a pessimist so let’s go ahead and dismiss that.

What you’re saying here is that the most likely scenario is that we’ll have global climate change but the effects won’t be that bad because we’ll invent technology to address those effects.

Sure that’s certainly possible.

What I don’t understand is the desire to roll the dice that we will invent technology to mitigate the effects of climate change versus just not having climate change and thus not leaving to chance that we will create technology to mitigate these effects?

Certainly I think you’re overestimating that this is a pure technology problem to be solved versus a political and cultural problem of which technology is but just another actor on the stage.

You’re also discounting short and intermediate term instability which will lead to increased human suffering while we attempt to resolve political and cultural problems and invent new technology. How many future wars may be fought over resources because we said “eh someone will figure it out”? It’s a quasi-religious faith in technology as universal problem solver.

Alternatively we could just start working on the problem now and not explore a path that bets civilization for no real gain.
As a general rule of thumb at almost any restaurant you're likely to visit, they're not. Now you know.

Sort of-- a dollar bill is an "IOU Nothing". Still an IOU as pointed out by the other comments, but in practice it's more like a promise of the Federal Reserve to empty it's chest of assets (mostly dollar-denominated debt instruments) to give your dollar bill value.

Pre-1971 it was a claim on a defined amount of precious metals. Historically, precious metals and specifically gold were the sole non-debt currency, because it's a dense store of value whose custody you don't necessarily have to entrust to a 3d person.

If the waitstaff was payed more and tips were removed from the equation, the meal would cost more. It doesn't wind up costing you more to tip than is the system was changed; unless you tip very well (in which case, you might be one of those people that would tip even if the system was changed).
I can imagine 100 ways to do it better apart from the fact that their are 100 better solutions which they could use without developing it themselves. It feels like a year 2000 solution.
We use Knockout JS extensively in an old codebase and its two way data bindings and computed values depending on those bindings are a mine field. The uni direcional data flow of React in my opinion has been a breakthrough. How have folks found using two way bindings in Svelte (and other frameworks?)
I think both would fit, as in: never break formation (i.e. swerve), and never break pace with the one in front of you (i.e. brake or accelerate).
I have to ask: How did you trace cause to effect and eliminate other possible culprits?
I see, seems I confused two things, I stand corrected.
It sure might be faster to experiment with new tech if your reactor is toy-sized, but building the whole thing at a scale that's somewhat realistic for economically generating power seems an un-avoidable step to me.

ITER is doing that NOW and NONE of headline-generating startups have even started...

So it seems to me that ITER is both contributing more engineering insights and closer towards a full-fledged fusion power-plant, and unlikely to be overtaken in these regards anytime soon, if ever.
Only concern is whether it's still getting security updates.
It's a case of "Nobody ever got fired for choosing X"[0]. No one would blame you for choosing React for a major project / new startup, but someone could definitely poke holes in choosing Svelte ("theres no package for X", "it doesn't scale", "we can't find devs that know it", etc.)

> The Creature from Jekyll Island

Please, no. The author has a very loose attachment to reality:

> In his book World Without Cancer, he argued in favor of a pseudo-scientific theory that asserted cancer to be a nutritional deficiency curable by consuming amygdalin.[1][2][3] He is the author of The Creature from Jekyll Island (1994),[1] which advances debunked conspiracy theories[4] about the Federal Reserve System. He is an HIV/AIDS denialist, supports the 9/11 Truth movement, and supports the specific John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theory that Oswald was not the assassin.[1] He also believes that the Biblical Noah's Ark is located at the Durupınar site in Turkey.[5]

A women told in a comment that after around 13 years old she would get ads on Facebook to become a cam girl. So FB with all the data they have on their user still pushed such a fucking ad to a child. I am expecting an ashole to respond and tell me that FB can\t afford to validate the ads they put in front of children and my premtive response is "Don't fucking put ads in fron of children, or at least put only the ones you validated" but Mark and his army of cool FB devs need a raise and new toys.

My conclusion, block ads, block ads on your family and friends devices, the companies will screw you and the poor bastard that payed for the ad to be placed in front of some relevant target.
>>private banks, simply create the money they loan you themselves, as they wish.

I for one did not realize that. I thought that was what the single nation's central bank does. If strictly true, how does anything work, I. E. Why would they not just create money ad infinitum? I imagine there are crucial, critical details to that "simply".
