> So, nice areas shouldn't have restaurants?

I don't know how you got to that, other than by assuming that nice areas have to be expensive. The fact that SF is unable to achieve both is an indicator of broken local markets and politics, not an ironclad rule for every other locality.

Edit: Another framing is that "nice" and "fancy" are different things, as much as extremely unequal markets like SF distort the distinction.
Canada's antitrust tribunal clears C$20B Rogers-Shaw deal
Lots of the details are incorrect. Let’s use the “Sesame Street” analogy because I’m glad you don’t think it sounds bad… my intention was to illustrate a concept that’s realistic and might be interesting to explore but uses a character that makes no sense to do it.

It’s like making a remake of Rambo with Elmo as the deadly killer man.
Of course there will be people who are amused of the absurdity in that scenario and in general there isn’t much I can say to your taste, but if you’re going to make a story about Elmo Rambo, let’s not make a follow-up about how the Prophet Mohammed runs a gay club next.

Things I really hated:
Odin is never a bad person in the mythology. A complicated one but he doesn’t trick people or deceive people, that’s Loki.

They didn’t understand that Freyja and Frigga are two different people. Yes, I know that Tim and Jim do sound similar but I assure you that doesn’t make them a single person.

Dwarves are wrong. Just, plain wrong.

Yggdrasil is completely wrong. It’s a metaphor, not so much a literal place.

And I can go on for every detail and gripe for hours.

Again, it’s because this is my religion that it is more deeply held as something to respect, but beyond that I don’t feel comfortable having others pretend to “draw lessons” about something which has been done incorrectly.

In other words, go ahead have your Elmo Rambo but don’t tell children that Elmo was born as a hard killer and then show them a machete.
I've heard these as talking points, often in a political context, but the opposite has been true in my experience. The places that have removed tips seem to be much happier on the whole.

I think as well something that would be concerning regarding the quality of service of the places that you're talking about that the quality of service depends upon how much money is being given, and less things that oftentimes help people perform on the job better (non-toxic environment, healthy egoless leadership, good colleagues, good company ethos and ethics, etc).

Obviously pay is important, it's a job after all, but people can't magic the willpower to perform well for money out of nowhere. I think that's up to the company to protect and foster that kind of a productive workplace where people can achieve their potential.
Is a $9 bracket even worth your time to return it? It's going to take your time to return something at Walmart, too.

What Amazon does for me is save the most valuable thing I have - time. Buying printer paper at a store costs me an hour + gas. Buying it from Amazon - 3 minutes.
>For some services like Uber Eats/DoorDash I've heard that orders will just sit on a shelf because the tip isn't high enough to entice someone to "claim" that order. Tipping is mandatory if you want to get your food in any reasonable timeframe.

Honestly this is great, for two reasons:

1. You're letting the market figure out the right price for delivery service at any given moment, which reduces deadweight loss. For instance, if you're price sensitive you can order during off-peak times to get a discount. On the other hand, if it's peak hours and you need food urgently (impatient kids?), you can be assured that your order arrives ASAP rather than 1 hour later.

2. It strengthens the case for DSPs treating their delivery workers as contractors, because the price isn't set by the DSP.

edit:

To be clear, I'm for having prices for delivery services be set by the market (ie. people who want food delivered can put in bids and delivery drivers can put in asks). I'm not for the current state of affairs where your order is "accepted" but you have to put in some indeterminate amount of tips to get it actually serviced.
I think the last sentence is poorly phrased.

The idea seems to be that overprotective parenting of children isn't harmful if those children continue to live with their parents as they enter adulthood, since their parents will be able to help them as they adjust. (Supposedly this happens in Italy.)

Likewise, having children move out when they become adults isn't harmful if those children have grown up with the ability to live independently. (Supposedly this happens in Germany.)

The problem comes when you combine overprotective parenting with the norm that children should move out at a relatively young age. This leaves young adults both unprepared and on their own when they leave. (Supposedly this happens in the US.)
CEO's have a lot of influence on the value of firms they manage, as we're surely all aware of. CEO compensation is generally about aligning interests between the CEO and the firm itself.
100% this. I started with it solo and I was able to achieve what would have been very hard for a three person team with the standard js app + api app + backend app.
You don't need to. You address it to the corporate HQ and let the mail room deal with the proper routing within the organization.

> To be fair, I don't blame them.

I think it’s fair to say that the blame is on us, the current parents generation. We have formed todays youth differently than our parents formed us.

On the other hand, I was recently doing searches for "food near me" and the UberEats / DoorDash delivery fees were under $1.

I'm not really pleased that useful search results about what is where have been replaced by useless ads for UberEats, but there's no argument to be made that you're getting charged twice when you're asked to tip. As far as the pricing goes, delivery appears to be priced at "pay what you want".
This comment has negative value because it’s casually dismissive but the author feigns knowledge of the subject matter but in fact misleads the reader.

Fidelity employs competent investment analysts. They have determined that twitter is worth less than half it was at the time Musk purchased it. This means Fidelities stake is worth less by the same percentage. None of this has anything to do with the size of Fidelities stake.
And the problem with the upper middle class and middle class, and from the developed to the developing, from the perspective of those lower who want your stuff, is solved by redistributing your stuff to their pockets. There can be more than one "problem" that can be solved by redistribution.

Just to be clear we are talking about the same world.

The Soviet Union felt because the people, from a few of the previous agricultural powerhouses of Europe and western Asia were starving. If that's what reconstructing an economy looks like, I'd rather we don't.

Yes, the communist countries had some good results on education. I'm not sure any of them is worth copying, but they are worth looking it. One would expect a completely different ideology to get some things better, and some worse; it's incredible how few things they managed to do better.

I think you’ll like Fluent C: Principles, Practices, and Patterns by Christopher Preschern (O’Reilly, 2022).

The books you have are excellent ways to learn the language, and this one complements them in that it lists common practices around, for example, error handling, and other common topics. It shows different approaches and mentions practices from real-world open-source C projects that follow them.

It seems like a good book to continue exploring C after learning the language.
I'm late to comment, but wanted to chime in and add that this is how I was expelled from high school.

All of our computers among 50+ elementary/middle and high schools were networked together. We could open CD trays, turn on/off window services, force restarts and other things we thought were funny at the time.

One day, I decided to send the message 'I'm gonna kill you' to a friend and didn't know his computer name. I left the wildcard in there for the domain to our school and poof, 900+ computers got the message. Lots of kids were scared and jumped out of their seat reading the message. I realized quickly i made a mistake...

I was labeled for sending a terroristic threat and kicked out. After some litigation and staying at home for a few months, they let me back into school the next year.
That's a technical definition from the early to mid 20th century. It has zero currency with the public and I'm not even sure it sees a lot of technical use any more.
Matters because it is nonsensical. There are some cases, such as AI research contributing to automation that replaces workers from one industry with another, or perhaps more directly, Uber replacing taxi workers, where income can be envisioned to be taken from one set of workers pockets to another.

But in reality, that's not how this works. Each company is distinct and has its own funding models. And the vast majority of money taken out of all workers paychecks regardless of industry isn't extracted by other workers in unrelated industries, it's removed by the employers to line their own pockets.

I guess the question is how someone might be delusional enough to believe that.
The need to runtimes shared by multiple applications on a single machine makes this a hard problem to solve, unless it's statically compiled. Of course, Docker renders this moot, and I'm unaware of any languages written in a "Docker-first" manner.
It's not necessary to find meaning if you remain immature. Kids live happily without meaning, and don't even question it.

I think a bigger problem is that humans are, in general, not good at finding meaning above and beyond survival. For most of our history as a species, it simply wasn't necessary, because surviving was hard enough for most of the populace, and religion provided some semblance of meaning for those who had enough free time to ask questions. But now we have a lot more people who have their basic physiological needs consistently satisfied, and OTOH religion got a lot less convincing for a variety of reasons.

This is basically counting two months of deliveries, it's at number 22 from the beginning of the year - and sold (in two months) 388 more than a Dacia sold in a month.

A bit of context from [1]:

Over in the models ranking, the Tesla Model Y (+256.7%) scores its second ever win after last September, but its direct follower the Dacia Sandero (+15.5%) is only 388 sales below. The Model Y is now #22 year-to-date. The Toyota Yaris (+166.6%) and Fiat 500 (+38.6%) are both up one spot on October to #3 and #4 respectably while the YTD leader, the Peugeot 208 (-4%) is down four ranks to #5. The VW Golf (+120.7%) and Tiguan (+125.2%) both recover from year-ago volumes hampered by the microchip crisis while the Toyota Yaris Cross (+59.4%) scores its 2nd ever European Top 10 finish after last January at #9.

Whether or not any of the post is accurate, it really just comes off as a begrudged ex-employee trying to throw dirt. As a supposedly former "senior software engineer", their entire description of the problem is that their system "went offline due to its outdated software packages and over utilized server resources aka cpu, memory and disk space.". There's zero technical detail, just an incredibly generic statement.

The main thing Southwest's issues show is how quickly you can burn through consumer goodwill.

It's almost as though all that sophisticated brand theory was a load of hogwash the whole time.
> Bad compared to who? Whatever faults you'd lay at his feet were not only de rigueur for both Europeans and Muslims of his time, but exceeded in many dimensions of savagery by the indigenous cultures he encountered. At any rate, disease and lack of immunity was far and away the agent of the demise of the natives, not Columbus or those who followed him over the centuries.

Even if Columbus's badness was within the range of average for his time, it's still a fact that he was bad lol.

I don't know why you're singling out Europeans and Muslims, btw--every society and group had (and has) its cruel bigots, its tyrants, its zealots, etc.

Because “of real political consequence” implies that it’s pretty damn important. You should be able to disagree about political things like tax structures and heath benefits without anyone getting hurt (my friends certainly have such disagreements). But if they get legitimately racist or sexist etc, it’s reasonable to start questioning their sanity and trustworthiness.

That's a cop out, and only reinforces their internalized belief that literally nothing is their own fault.

Find a Gen Z person who is fully accountable for their own actions and you will have located a unicorn. It's uncanny how in-sync that entire generation is with the idea that they are not only owed the world, but have no fault. They are crippled by the actions of "others" (whoever the others are doesn't matter - boomers, the rich, Trump, old people on scooters in Walmart...the who doesn't matter as long as they can point to someone else at fault for everything that hurts their feelings.

I don't know how you grow out of a collective psychosis like that. It's cult-like.

Ask HN: App to locate the position of a book on shelf?
My son has 100s of books on his shelves. I want to locate a particular book. I'm certain of the name, and certain that the name is on the spine.

It seems feasible to have an app where you can:

1. Enter some text you want to search for.

2. Scan some shelves by waving your phone around.

3. See a still photo with the matching book(s) highlighted.

Do you know of such an app?

I know I could take some photos of the shelves, transfer them to my computer, use OCR and save them as a searchable PDF, but it seems like more effort than it should be.

-Slavery simulation, you play as a slave ship and it shows how you go from a poor family with a small farm to a big happy family with lots of slaves on a big farm!

-Judaism simulator! You orchestrate a large international conspiracy and the game shows every single Jewish person as conniving and evil

-Mongol horde simulator, go through china and rape until you die, textures are randomly generated and you see the Chinese that you kill have cheated on their taxes so it’s fine

The common thread between all of these awful experiences being they would show great disrespect to the material.

I think you're mistaken here, blue collar workers and white collar workers are in the same boat when it comes to the precarity of their means of providing for themselves and the relations they have with the entities that dole out those means.

Division is what I interpreted as what elicits disgust here, when workers of all stripes would be stronger if they instead were united.

The scraps that are thrown to blue and white collar workers alike pale in comparison to the wealth disparity of those who need to work as a whole versus who they must work for.

I am not sure how that is a "sensible metric", how would you even begin to create a wage around that? What is "supporting yourself" even mean? Does a teenager need to make the same wage as a mother of 3? if there are 2 20yo waitstaff one is a single mother living alone, and the other is guy living in his parents basement should one be paid differently due to their life situation?

This is problem with basing wages on an individual needs, in reality the wage you are paid should have, and does have nothing to do with the amount of money you "need" to support yourself.
