As a bartender, I know that I will make more money from tips than any business owner would ever pay me, even if prices were raised 20+% and tipping was removed. I’d rather risk a slow shift with less tips than work a job with a slightly higher hourly rate and no tips. I know there is a lot of bitching online about tips, and I agree that since COVID I’ve seen some absurd situations with asking for tips when the customer is essentially doing everything themselves, but most people tip fine.
Even if he did invest, why would that weaken Twitter at this point? The deal is done, SBF wouldn't be able to pull his money out of it if he wanted to.

How much of the “tip” actually gets to the employees?
Cash tips seem like the way to go primarily because you're not relying on the employer to calculate and distribute them to line employees and because they're not being reported as income and taxed.

That might not be the "law", but that's pretty much de-facto what happens everywhere.
Fiat Panda. I wish the US had the Fiat Panda. Small footprint, AWD, ugly enough not to get stolen, dependable. It's literally my perfect car.

I have to believe there are more people like us, that want those regional cars, but can't get them.
it's interesting how the constraint of being in water limits inhabitants from developing technologies like fire and throwing projectiles for hunting. octopuses seem like they have the physiology and neurology to figure out projectiles and even grinding a sharp point, but that strategy wouldn't give them the same boost it did early humans because of the drag of water. construction and engineering is also made difficult by tides and erosion so they don't take it much farther than piling up some shells and rocks for a little sleep spot.

Again with that clueless equivocation.

And yet millions of families in the US alone are literally making this work. So that’s nonsense.
I have literally lived this. There is no goddamn reason spending more than 50% of your income to own a nice home in a good location is necessarily a bad allocation - there are far worse. It’s not for everybody but it isn’t inherently irresponsible. So what value does an arbitrary rule like 25% have - especially considering differences in absolute income - none whatsoever.

I think people are underestimating how much the cost of energy impacts inflation.

It used to be primarily labor costs, and labor/wages is still a major part. However with automation some labor is being replaced by automation and thus converts what used to be labor cost to energy cost.

European countries are not in great shape from an energy POV.
No, the phrase is most often used to simply mean, "the other side of this discussion." In fact I almost never see it to mean what you said, to take the side of the negative side of an issue where said negative side would condemn one to be a "shitty person." It seems again that the phrasing creates this pervasive idea that the person using the phrase is using it in a fully intended negative way when it's just said off hand without thought. That is to say, it is replaceable with a phrase like "looking at the other side of the coin," as I initially stated.

Someone who discusses Covid vaccination complications must also discuss Covid complications.

Anecdotally, my mother-in-law's dementia got much worse after she caught Covid. That stuff is nothing that I want, and the Covid minimizers encourage the spread of a dangerous infectious disease.

Right, so in case it's not clear, people are asking you to quantify "basically" and "essentially" with math to get a number out. English words aren't going to make your point. They want you to back it up with a statistical analysis.
But they don't actually invest in businesses. Yes, the asset happens to be an operating corporation. But the actual business of that corporation is not what they invest in. They're not interested in portions of revenue or profit sharing. What they want is the asset to increase in value, and that asset is their preferentially protected share ownership of the corporation. Whether or not the business is a true business (as in with actual revenues or profits) does not materially matter to VCs, unless that is directly correlated to asset value increase. Perhaps another way to say it is: VCs invest in corporations, but they don't invest in businesses. It took me a long while to realize this, but once you do it all clicks.
Is there any empirical backing for this narrative? Some of this reads as pretty counter to intuition.

Most suspicious in my mind is the core presupposition (not a contention, a presupposition--the article doesn't even argue for it!) that rich people will step up to the opportunity to fulfill their noble obligation to give more to the less wealthy. Having known some pretty stingy wealthy people (and some very generous blue-collar people), it's not obvious to me that this is true.
The author says nothing about why the new logo is bad and the old one good. Frankly, objectively speaking, the new logo is much better from a design perspective whether the author likes it or not. A logo needs to be original, readily identifiable, and easily reproducible on any substrate. The old logo does not meet any of these standards, while the new logo does. The same can be said for the old Met logo. The newer Met logo is unmistakable and more easily reproduced anywhere. Author is obviously not a graphic designer or at least not one that was educated in design principles.

If you're comparing a new Camry to a 1970s Cadillac, sure. Sizes have increased within each product line (see original mini -> modern mini, porsches) and the types of vehicles available in each niche have also grown larger (Scion xB -> kia soul, Toyota pickups -> f150s). The overall trend has been for increasing sizes.
Your point about the attention required was my takeaway too. I traded paper in college for awhile out of curiosity, and I made a decent amount of "money" doing it too! I was surprised by this because I thought the stock market was insanely difficult to understand and constantly unpredictable beforehand.

It was like that but not as often as I expected. For example, intraday movements could often happen at very predictable times. It can also be very cargo cult. Things like technical analysis seem to work (until they don't) only because enough people believe they will, so the signal to noise ratio can be very hard to suss out.

Ultimately the time required and risk tolerance for those moonshot chances just didn't add up.

yes it does. that's how it was discovered and where qm came from. google the debroglie hypothesis.

> We really need a new publishing tool for everyone that doesn't require intricate knowledge of how the entire web computing stack functions.

That tool is called HTML. It is usually supplemented by CSS. Every Markdown element has a one-to-one translation to it. This webpage is a particular stylesheet, plus basic HTML elements that you could write in <> style just as easily as you could write them in *_# style. If HTML requires particular defaults to look right, then that is a really great reason to fix the defaults, but not a really great reason to junk the whole thing and start over.

Markdown isn't particularly good, it isn't particularly standardized, and it isn't even compatible with reader mode (e.g. images). Just write HTML. Browser standards have not degraded to the point that you need to write a web page differently than people wrote them fifteen years ago for it to look the same; a toolbox with a million complicated tools and one obvious screwdriver is not a toolbox that makes it very hard to unscrew screws.

Blockchain may fix it, but couldn't we also argue that blockchain created these problems in the first place?

I will fully admit I have only casually followed the whole blockchain/crypto scheme, so maybe I'm wildly off on something, and would definitely appreciate informed responses.

Without blockchain, there is no "crypto", without crypto, there are no exchanges and related coins, and without those, none of this happens or exists.

How would blockchain be used to fix this?

The intent is not to reward a task. It's a nod of appreciation that there is even an employee that's willing to show up to work and service you. You give them a dollar.

I personally got so exhausted from decision fatigue and being forced to choose a tip or not that I just go to fewer coffee shops as a result.

Maybe I'm not expressing myself well enough, but I'm not sure why you jumped from "telling someone they are wrong" to "antagonize and attack". I feel like you can almost always do the first without incurring in the second.

I 100% agree that if you tell people they are wrong aggressively and arrogantly, that will backfire, and they are probably justified in ignoring your correction.

But some people, and particularly some organizations, seem incapable of accepting even the most thoughtful correction, and that's the kind of place/people I'd rather keep a distance.
The claim above was "Our immune systems can't just 'take a break'... Its a muscle, you don't use it; it atrophies."

Your explanation agrees with me here; describing it as a problem with the immune system is inaccurate. Relatively rapid immune escape is a feature of certain viruses.
Kids are at significantly less risk of severe illness from covid than from influenza. This is well-known (see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34107134/ for example).

I think this may be influenced by Node. With JS and Node, async is cheap and ergonomic, so it's very widely used, even if the latency gains are marginal.

With Python and asyncio, neither assumption holds, but the idea of shaving off some latency persists: if we rewrite everything using asyncio, our DB accesses can be parallelized, yay! This may or may not be a net win in latency; reworking your DB access patterns may gain you more.
The post addresses why raising prices isn't a good option for most businesses. I find the argument convincing. Tipping culture _is_ you paying the higher price.

> The only reason I continue to tip is the knowledge that my food will be spat in / worse if I don't.

I know this is anecdotal, but I have worked in many places that serve food/drinks & take tips. I have never seen someone get their food spat in. The places where tips are most expected, restaurants with wait staff + bars, ask for tips at the end of service. All other places don't have the expectation of tips beyond it being nice to get one.

I'd like to see more data on this. Just looking at CDC reports, it seems that influenza from May 2022 to Oct 2022 is just tracking the normal winter high, summer low pattern:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/WeeklyArchives2022-2023/WHONP...

Going back to the 2021 year, that's where the pattern returns to normal, i.e. early 2021 had very few positive influenza tests, but then it starts climbing again in late 2021 (Nov 2021 report):

https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/111914

Interestingly, rates of co-infection (COVID + flu) seem to be all over the place, this study found a ~50% coinfection rate in 2021-2022 (others are much lower, maybe people with Covid were not also being tested for flu?

Question, how much to tip per drink to be a good patron? :)
The kernel definitely sets the WIMG bits at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/powerpc/m... (line 336, if HN removes it), though I've never been able to "make it work" either.

I used box64 as a test case, where I had a game that would run in emulation, but only if I pinned it to a single core. On ARM64, it also worked, as the JIT translator on box64 uses manually inserted memory fences to force strongly ordered access.

The game never worked correctly, even after I patched the kernel to mark every page on the system as SAO, and confirmed this worked by checking the set memory flags. This might be a mistake in my understanding of what SAO should do, though. (or another failure in box64 on ppc64le)

One thought I've had recently is perhaps it's like the recently discovered tagged memory extension and only worked in big endian? There's nothing in the docs to suggest this, but since the only test case was BE-only, maybe?

> - async is concurrency - threads are parallelism

Even this isn't necessarily true, especially given you can limit a process to a single core (or, if you use a single core system, lest we forget those exist!), or, in Python's case, the GIL! You can still have parallelism with asynchronous programming, it's just not necessarily guaranteed. IIRC tokio lets you spin up runtimes on different threads which (putting the above caveat) _can_ run in parallel.
