> This interview has morphed into my own personal economics seminar, and Professor Bankman-Fried is my tutor. He’s as good at explaining the principles of macroeconomics as anyone out there in the world today—and I know this for a fact because I’ve subsequently watched YouTube’s best on the same subject. But SBF teaches me Macro while simultaneously playing round after round of Storybook Brawl.

> Still, I’ve got my answer. And it turns out that I’ve aimed too low. A trillion isn’t enough money to fix the world’s problems, so SBF won’t stop at merely a trillion. It’s an answer that begs the next question, which SBF, ever helpful, has already anticipated: “So, is five trillion all you could ever use to help the world?”

> SBF is now interviewing himself. He slows down for a moment, and I assume that’s because of the cognitive load of doing three things at once. He’s asking good questions (my job); he’s formulating answers (his job); and he’s playing Storybook Brawl (no one’s job). But then I hear the tap-tap-tapping from his fingers start to accelerate, and I realize he’s not slowing down under the load at all. Just the opposite, in fact: This guy is in the Storybook Brawl equivalent of a gank!

This entire profile is incredible. SBF is one of the greatest conmen of all time, the absolute gall to testify in Congress, pal around with celebs, buy the naming rights to the Miami Heat stadium, claim he is "the most transparent", all built on a total scam of stealing billions.

If this guy doesn't go to jail why do we even have jails?
I like the stairs feel to the new logo, which I think fits with a University Press's mission rather nicely.
> Some of you may be too young to realize but there has been tip % inflation that is when combined with price inflation the tip amount has grown geometrically

This is the most annoying part of many point-of-sale systems at counter-service restaurants today. You tap your card/phone/watch, and are then presented with big buttons for say, 35%, 30%, and 28% (I'm exaggerating, but not by much). The "custom amount" button is somewhere different for each POS vendor (Square, Toast, etc.) so you have to search for a moment if you want to tip a more traditional amount (or an amount that you might consider more commensurate with having to dispense your own water and bus your own table, for that matter).

I mean rendering JSX would be incredible from a 'I hate waiting for build' perspective

babel has a trick where you load their JS and mark your <script type="text/jsx">, but it is slow AF

more generally, pluggable templating / rendering engines would be neat
I came to write something similar to this, basically.

If anything we should push for websites to divide content from presentation: if html tags were used properly there would be no need for markdown.

And on that matter, pushing for proper use of html tags in documents is a more achievable goal than asking everybody to just drop html and write markdown.
Let's not result to hyperbole. 99%+ of nurses quitting had absolutely nothing with threats of violence from antivaxxers.
>Are we really to believe that there are unpatched security holes in all major devices (both Android and iOS) that allow this kind of backdoor access?

If you are at all familiar with the histories of jailbreaking, previous exploits, and the gray unlock market, it’s unreasonable you would not consider this this to be the default case.
We already do. They use static site generators to produce HTML (a good interchange format) from a customized form of markdown (which is not standardized at all and very customizable). This state of the world is totally fine - it works well for both viewers and content producers.

The author is trying to declare this perspective as elitist rather than address it head on.

It's a pretty common political trick to reframe populist views as elitist and vice versa. It allows you to either promote or attack a "dangerous" idea/candidate without having to actually engage with it.
> That said, SGI had an iconic logo of a cube formed from a single periodic pipe before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Graphics#/media/File%3...

Rebranded in 1999, according to Wikipedia. I would think the old logo looked really bad on the web at the time, with monitors being 640 × 480 at 256 colors, if you were lucky. It also would have been expensive to reproduce well on letterhead, and I wouldn’t dare think of how that looked on photocopies (often monochrome at the time)

Now, could they have stylized/simplified the old logo and keep it nice? I wouldn’t know.
An Investigation of Ozone Emissions From Consumer Products: https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/resources/fact-sheets/ozone-emissions...

Ozone Generators that are Sold as Air Cleaners
: https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/ozone-generators-...

Ideally, don't use ozone-generating or other gimmicky devices. Ventilate the space instead. Usually, unless there is a high pollution event or it is peak allergy season, the air outside is lower in contaminants than indoor air.

Vacuum frequently using a machine with a HEPA filter and run your home's air circulation system with a MERV13 filter, or get/make an air filter. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw7fUMhNov8)

If you feel you must use an ozone generating device, don't use it if the spaces are occupied and ventilate them thoroughly before occupying them again.

Definitely don't use them along with other cleaning/deodorizing chemicals, as the result of mixing those with ozone is complex and poorly understood.
Reminds me of that video of the two fish spitting sand at each other. One is digging a hole by spitting sand out, the other spits sand back at it just because.

Make it more likely, along with the world situation we are in and the supply dysrhythmia, yes.

Recall FTX used a bunch of cash to save failing companies which would create systemic shock (ironic), acquire and invest lately, including in the Silicon Valley.
My guess here: "1-2/3-4 Billion" is enough for liquidity, nobody is going to run on us, we are trusted, especially after us saving the world.

There was "bad event rolls" in the system and when they came, nobody can/will/would give them that amount of money.

I am sure in great times, they would also find liquidity/loans more easily -- which is what they are still trying to do. ("Everyone" is keeping cash to the chest, waiting to see what happens right now.)
If you assume labor is 50% of the cost of a coffeeshop, and maybe only 30-40% of the cost when you factor out management, prices would have to go up only 6-7%.

And remember, you are assuming a zero-net-revenue change.

Maybe your former non-tipping customers would see that 6-7% increase and leave, but your former tipping customers (who may be price sensitive, but tipped because they believe in it) would see a decrease in pricing, from a 20% gratuity reduced to a 6-7% price overhead. And some of them would probably still tip anyway.
Why would anyone subject themselves to such ridiculous behavior? If someone spat in my food or ate some of my food I would never use their service again.

Any business with any sense should immediately fire such employees or risk losing customers.
Ok, you can replace dynamic pricing with dynamic tipping in my original comment if that makes it more comprehensible for you.
Was your mother in law vaccinated? If so then how do we tell if that or the disease caused the damage. It could even be some kind of synergy between them, like ADE.
There's always the "Storybook approach" alternative: make sure all your UI components are individually renderable by pure props and then build standalone from your application story boards around those prop states.

I tend to find that more useful for UI testing than unit tests because it gives designers something to critique and often better fits how they want to work. (Versus trying to assert things like specific DIVs exists, which might get rearranged or eliminated in the next design change.)

It's easier to storyboard some complex component trees sometimes too.

Here's another one, published in Nature Medicine: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01630-0

I haven't read it beyond the abstract.

We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2, 8) myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273. This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.
It looks like a mobius strip. Not sure if that is intentional. I don't hate it.
Apples and oranges.

The original comment that I answered is technically false if there exist a single mortgage that isn't a gamble.

Now, if only a single such mortgage existed you’d still have a point, but the fact is millions of loans are given and paid back every year without any complications at all: there is plenty of income and plenty of security for very many loans.

IIRC, what Lehman did was to deliberately trade in bundles of sub prime loans.
Not trying to attack your experiences, but have you spent much time outside of FAANG?

As someone who did both (and have been at FAANG and the likes more recently), of course you will find incompetent colleagues everywhere, FAANG or not. The difference is, how many of those relative to the competent ones you will find on average.

It is a very different situation when a team of 8 has a couple incompetent devs vs. when a team of 8 has only a couple competent devs (aka the inverse).

Not trying to say that this is universally true for both FAANG and non-FAANG, exceptions apply in both cases and are based on a chance. Of course there are startups and non-tech companies that are composed almost entirely of very strong and competent devs. And there are some teams at FAANGs that are in "rest and vest" mode. But on average, that observation about the averages seemed to be true based on my personal experiences.

AWS uses 12,000MW of power.
If you upload it to GitHub, you've already granted them a license to use it to improve their service. You aren't sharing it with GitHub under your custom BSD license, you're sharing it with GitHub users under that.
I always assumed that was it. The tip for paying at a counter started when clover and other touch tablet point of sale systems came around.

Some genius figured out that asking people to write down a tip on a receipt and signing it was too much friction and off putting, but on a touch screen, where a tap takes a fraction of a second and zero effort, at least some people would not mind hitting the tip button.

And it worked beautifully.
Before you decide any technical solutions, do the business decision first. Are you willing to and/or capable of doing this ? For example, what percentage of revenue will come from these 2 customers overall and does it add up in the long term vision for your company ?

Lets say you decide to do it. Then make sure you are charging like 5-10x premium just to even entertain the idea. This is what you will call "Enterprise" and charge for EVERYTHING. Remember that if you deviate from your regular deployment etc, you will have to add extra work to support and maintain these additional things. So charge for those as well.

More importantly, if it doesn't align with your business vision, don't do it unless you are struggling to pay bills or interested in this space.

Source: I run a SAAS where we ended up doing mess like this and even though we charge more for that stuff, it has not added up for us in the overall direction/vision because we want to be a pure multi-tenant fast growing SAAS and don't have teams to handle too much enterprise yet.
It's bullshit because it's an average of everything that no one buys. My grocery bills have doubled since 2020, meaning my CPI was 100% over 3 years. I will not shut up as you and many others are trying to force me into accept it's 10% inflation.
> I had a family member come down with shingles shortly after getting boosted, hasn't been infected with covid in years.

Covid has only been around for a couple of years.
I agree the annualizing the monthly figure would be handy, as an additional figure. Looking at annualized monthly figures, it was also apparent (say) six months ago, that the monthly annual figures would almost certainly continue to get worse.
You can do all that in a markdown page just fine, no? Can't you throw a tracking pixel in markdown?
Hard, hard disagree. This good article has been discussed before on HN: https://velvetshark.com/articles/why-do-brands-change-their-...

It's not just a "perceived" loss of individuality. The new logos discussed in that linked article, especially the fashion ones, suck in my opinion because they're boring and they all look the same. They at least used to have some good degree of variability.
8% YoY would indeed be a comical amount of inflation. I don't believe shadowstats is implying such an increase.

The reason people don't believe the official CPI numbers is because the CPI numbers are not properly weighted for life or dollar impact. If we look from 1970 the price of health care has increased 54x, a new house has increased 19x, and annual tuition has increased 25x. If the price of milk increases 19x what do I care? I'll just stop buying milk. I don't want to stop being alive, I need a place to live, and I want and need an education.

Even the numbers they do include seem gamed or fake. Shelter shows a 6.9% increase year over year, but the price of houses is up 17% over that same period and the price of rent is up 12-30%. I'm sure there is some ling winded explanation for how shelter excludes such and such thing, but it just loudly screams bullshit for many (most?) Americans.

>And see that consumer goods/services can't have increased by that much or otherwise everyone would be destitute...

I think people are pretty destitute to be honest.
Because the poor know best the value of 5$? Even if often they wouldn't afford tipping. But the wealthy won't really know that, 5$ would be nothing for them so why bother tipping. Unless they actually care about the delivery guy, an attitude which is definitely not a given - some would also think that "poor deserve it for not working hard like us" so again why tipping a "slacker"...
There's a particular French-inspired cafe near me that specifically doesn't accept tips - they don't even give you the option.

Their apparent prices are much higher than comparable places (something that's $12 across the street might be $15 here). And they are always packed. I love going to this place. It's the only place that doesn't demand extra time, thought, work, money, and sometimes a calculator from me in order for me to enjoy a cup of coffee and a crepe by the window.

On a totally different scale of spending, when my wife and I were choosing a resort for vacation, we specifically chose one that disallows - not discourages, but specifically disallows - tips. Because, for me, half of the point of a vacation is to spend a week not thinking about money, finances, budgeting, etc.

Given the choice between an expensive "tips not allowed" place and a nominally-cheaper-but-not-really "tips encouraged" place, I'll choose the more expensive option every time.
I guess it depends on your team/role/function re: prestige. Naturally, the technical hiring bar has dropped as these companies have grown.
Indeed. Some credibility has been lost as well, given the source of TFA.
>Why cant we just give employees dignity and a fair wage?

Define dignity first, maybe? A slave in chains can still have dignity, and the most wealthy and powerful of men can be utterly undignified.
“Inflation” means “increase in price levels”. That’s it.

“Inflation is transient” fits prices increasing and then leveling out, and does not imply that every bit of price increase is balanced out one-for-one by immediate deflation afterwards.

As for gas prices, it’s going to depend on supply (including refinery capacity) and demand. The $2/gallon of April 2020 was an artifact of covid nuking demand.

I also love the suggestion that a $100k income is in any way comparable to being some top-hat-wearing aristocrat with a palatial mansion and a butler.
Me too. And I don't spend much time calculating either. Always round up, because you rarely get the opportunity to be a hero for $1.

The covid vaccinations in wide use now (e.g. the mRNA-based shots, adenovirus-vector shots, and the Novavax protein-based shots) either cause your own cells to create or directly insert modified versions of covid spike systems into a person's circulatory system. The biodistribution study conducted by Pfizer for the Japanese government (using LNPs with a non-mRNA payload) showed that the LNPs did not all remain at the injection site but rather spread far and wide throughout the body and accumulated in particular organs.

You have my sincere sympathy with regards to your mother-in-law's condition.

I have heard similar and worse anecdotes in which covid vaccines (especially boosters i.e. nth shots) have been the culprits and seen some severe adverse reactions in close acquaintances.
> I'm totally against abortion and I find it immoral

I'd recommend in the topic of abortion to not use absolutes, in this case you are also stating you are against abortions in case of rape, when a fetus is missing vital organs (brain, heart, etc.) and so on...
> As the playing field levels, more empowered women are more willing to date lower class men.

turns out, instinctual preferences may outpower the "free market", only time will tell. It isn't looking that way though - else we would see equalizing by now in partner selection. Instead, we have a more disproportionate amount of men being left partnerless, as is the problem the article, and many a census sentiment are leaning.

>Complaining about the current state of things is largely complaining that men are slowly losing their long standing advantage and privileged position.

>privileged

just because a hierarchy exists doesn't mean it is advantageous to those on top. the more complex the hierarchy, the worse change is for those on top.

But if you consider mindless drone office work to be empowering, then women would be more satisfied with their careers, which doesn't seem to be the case, "stereotypically"/statistically. It also just plays into the thesis that men are being displaced.

In the current environment, men cannot replace women, but women can almost replace men. That turns our societal norms into predicaments.
I strongly agree with the importance of your question! It affects so many things, like prioritizing, finding peace etc.

I suggest A) if you are religious, to come to know God and follow His plan, and B) if not, consider working to elevate mankind by honesty, the Golden Rule, learning and service, to help by kind example and teaching and work so we all reach some better state.

I have written much more at my tech-simple web site (in profile, suggestions welcome; I also tried to write how I know what I know).
No, they do not. The employee is still owed the minimum wage, whether it be via tips or their employer if the tips do not add up to minimum wage.

Also, quite a few jurisdictions do not have tipped minimum wages anymore.

You can see a comment below where a bartender is saying that they earn much more from tips than they would ever get paid with wages. This is a pretty common sentiment from waiters when a place says it's going to give up tipping. So that money is going to go somewhere. Some to the owners, some to the consumers, some to the people in the back. Probably also some to people who wait tables/bartend and make little (this seems to be a situation where people who know how to work the system make a lot while others stumble).

It would also remove a fairly large mental burden on consumers.

This is why I find it odd that people get mad when the occasional customer gives a low or no tip. That's the system, and you're saying you prefer this system because it overall makes you much more money than the alternative, at the cost to consumers and others.
I always tip 20, but I honestly hate doing it for many reasons.

I also hate separate sales tax. Just build it into the menu.

I just got back from Portugal. 99% of places took cards. When you are ready to pay the bill, they bring out the portable POS machine, you tap your card, and you're done. No awkward tipping screen. No separate calculation for sales tax. No pressure to buy bottled water or charging of table fee like in Italy.

What you see in the menu is what your final will be.

Eating out was cheap, fun, hassle free, and tasty.
Seems like there could be some correlation issues here.
The only reason Mastadon isn't getting popular (without airquotes) is that it isn't popular enough.

To my way of thinking, they’re not relearning anything—they’re specifically using lessons learned from history as a playbook to make, well, illicit gains.
Curious as to what your definition of very small is. The UK is above median land area for a country, #21 for population, #6 for gdp, it's principal island is the 9th largest.

I mean, yes, the UK is not the same scale as the USA, China, India etc, but I'd put to you that it is not so very small
There is absolutely 0 chance that the WSJ would run an article with a headline like this without verifying the information with multiple parties. That verification is often off-the-record so you won't read about it in the article.
>there is tipping Europe where the tip is not needed to boost the wage to an acceptable level

The internet gets the cause and effect on this backwards. Waitresses get paid 2 dollars an hour in much of the USA because they get tips. They don't get tips because they get 2 dollars an hour.

You could pay waiters 60 dollars an hour and Americans would keep tipping.
> But that is exactly the current system we have in the US and UK.

Yeah I know - that's the situation I'm talking about. I know nobody seems to complain in public but I guess there are people out there is applies to. Maybe one day it'll change and people will be free to marry who they want.
