> There are a lot of places where how much people like you determines how you are compensated.

I think this is true literally everywhere. Another factor may be competence, but of similar people, the one whom is liked will probably earn more than the other.
My parents taught me that debt was bad. They told me that credit cards were traps to get you into debt, that preyed on poor impulse control, and that it was better not to have one. If you can't tell, my parents grew up in a time when the credit score system didn't really matter, and didn't understand it.

I did not get a credit card. I did not have any loans, for school or anything else.

My credit score wasn't even a number, it just didn't exist. Even the bank I banked with, which could see that I had more than $8k USD deposited monthly, that could see I had $30k in an account with them, would not give me a loan to buy a car.

Even if I were to get a credit card and pay it back on time, my credit score would be quite low due to having no history, and I still could not get a loan.

I'm fortunate that the apartments I have rented so far have not done credit checks, only background checks and looked at salaries / offer letters, but there are many apartments I simply could not rent since I would obviously fail their credit check, despite never having had any debt.
I think profit share is not a bad idea, but to make it fair, it should also involve some degree of risk sharing. Counting up the costs of opening a coffee establishment (is it a roaster as well?), it's not as high as some other businesses but there's rent, equipment, seats and tables, etc. If every employee and the owner was a member of something like a LLC, what would the buy-in be? I have no idea, maybe $10K each or something like that? Most of that would be lost if the business failed, so it would provide a nice incentive, and once cleared, a steady stream of income.

Of course a short-term employee (summer, tourist season, etc.) would probably not be interested in that arrangement, and would prefer a good steady wage.

Smoking on planes is absolutely something I can't wrap my head around in any possible way. How the hell someone EVER thought it would be a good idea to let people smoke while packed inside a flying metal cylinder?
But, to absolutely steal the originators example -- the "superfragility" of crypto systems is the same as the superfragility of individual NYC restaurants; aka the precise reason NYC restaurants GENERALLY are so good. I agree, a ton of them will die. And also - the thing(s) that's left will be unstoppable.

As for the second one, I mean, risk/return. Yes, other things will be more user-friendly and safer, which likely means lower return.

I agree, you'd be nuts to throw a lot in. I just also think you'd be nuts to not throw a little in as well.
It seems like it’d be infinitely more fair to say “should we stream it in house, here is how royalties will be calculated.”
A notebook is better in some ways, but worse in important ones. It can't save you from phishing, and your password strength is going to be relatively poor (since a notebook can't generate them for you, and if they get long it'll be annoying to type). Also, a notebook is easier to copy, steal, or lose (though this is a fairly minor consideration for most people).

I would say a notebook is worse than a password manager. It's not strictly worse in every way, but on the balance it's not a hard choice.

A notebook is better than most other not-a-password-manager solutions though. So it has that going for it.
We are told that the former elite of the country was nepotistic and elitist against other groups. America's immigration policy seems like it encouraged highly talented people to immigrate. The US has a smaller population than some of the countries a lot of immigrants arrived from. This means that theoretically, there are more talented people overall in the countries with larger populations. So in some sense the US may have imported a new elite making up <1% of jobs.

Do you think this new elite in the schools and corporate boardrooms you mentioned is less likely to be nepotistic and elitist towards other ethnic groups as some of the previous elite groups? Why or why not?
Hypertension drug could be repurposed to delay aging, study finds
I keep making this same point in various HN threads. It should be trivially obvious to anyone who understands cryptography, but I guess lots of people really just don't.

Pick a good password, pick good algorithms, and you should feel very comfortable about hosting an encrypted blob of data anywhere. Maybe you should worry a little if you're at risk of being specifically targeted by the NSA, but I doubt they've seriously broken any state-of-the-art crypto. At that point OS exploits and trojans are your real concern.
To each their own, but personally - I don’t find them beautiful or nostalgic at all. They remind me of the stench of stale smoke and death.

Gotta say, love seeing the 'hack on my own rig' mentality applied to coffee shops. Curious to know how your culture views to-go orders? Based on the YouTube short (place looks awesome btw), I don't think the vibe is grab and go - but if it is, how are you handling the tickets? Just a separate Star for the togos? Nice getting that working, too - I'm stuck in a regional rep loop trying to get access to ours.

Sadly, if someone wants to find information there is enough online without needing to help them with social media. My parents have never had a social media account and I deleted mine years before I had an issue with someone who found out not only where I lived but my parents as well. (and having 20+ years in the software industry, I'm aware of how things work). Doing a simple search isn't that difficult to get the addresses. Though, it was probably a tracking device and considering the later disabling of important drive functions that my long time mechanic had no answer for except to not charge me hours of work looking at it and telling me to just get what I could for it, I lean towards tracking device. Staying off social media helps, but when someone wants to harass another, I think not being easily online just made it more fun for him. At least I would find the challenge more gratifying.
That’s unlikely to be how the system works, chatGPT by design is a probabilistic model meaning it’s very unlikely it’ll spit out the same output twice. The detectors probably use a vanilla language model that just recognizes the patterns in chatGPT discourse (which is very distinct)
Not really.

Life itself is not aging. Sexual reproduction manages to regularly reset the aging clock by building a new organism from already existing cells, there is no discontinuity in life.

At some point, the mother and her child are the same organism.

Biology is already immortal, but the resetting process is quite lossy.

I am pretty sure that at some point our biology can be hacked to perpetually rejuvenate, in this case our bodies would look like 25 years old, not centenarians.
Identifying people who are committing crimes against your family isn't "doxing". Or: it is, and a good illustration of the uselessness of that term.

I use CrossOver to run a 32 bit Windows app designed in the early 2000s on my M1 Mac, works great. Used to use Parallels but found it to just not be as good, plus they got really spammy with the marketing emails for a while so I just cut it out.
I get what you are saying but you are not the customer. The customers are lenders which rely on these scores to make lending decisions critical to their business.

Presumably these lenders find these scores accurate enough to prevent enough bad loans while not turning away too many credit worthy customers.

That said, obviously the models can be improved with more data. I worked for a lender for a while whose edge was giving people a slightly lower rate (or lending to some folks that just missed the cutoff with other lenders) because we thought our model was a bit more accurate than the credit scores / models used by other lenders.

But even we admitted to ourselves that these were just marginal improvements, by and large the credit score is a super meaningful indicator.
I think it depends on if the server gets a percentage of the total bill (basically auto-tipping if you think of it that way). Basically everything on the menu gets raised in price 20% and that's the tip portion, ideally shared with the kitchen.

This provides a strong incentive for good service (and good cooking) as an empty restaurant (fewer return customers) means less income. Otherwise, why bother providing excellent service, if you're paid the same hourly wage if the place is packed or if it's half-full?
Ha, not a bad idea. Easier than going full ham like this guy who made an external TouchID module out of a magic keyboard:

In particular, Windows 9x has a completely different syscall interface (if you could even call it that) than the NT line; the majority of kernel32 functions seem to go through a far call to a fixed address:

winevdm came to mind as a rather different Windows API + CPU emulator project - it glues WinAPI thunking to MAME's x86 emulator to run Win16 apps against the Win32 API. On 32-bit x86 this is redundant, because the built-in WoW32 will do the same job. winevdm enables running Win16 apps on 64-bit Windows on x64 and ARM.

The closed Github issues are a trip. https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3A...

> I don't know if it's a lack of knowledge or actual malicious pay practices (probably some of both), but number of people I meet in the service industry who don't know that last bit and tell me they've never been paid the difference for "dead" shifts (those that generate little to no tips) is staggering.

That's because wage theft is relatively common among the service industry and is also why several states outlawed special wage. You can probably imagine how easy it is to perform wage theft in this situation simply because how difficult accurately calculating that differential is. You're basically relying on every single person to act in good faith in an environment where every person has large incentives to act in bad faith (employers can easily get away with not paying and employees can easily pocket tips and not report them. One of these, or just the perception of, can create a coupled feedback loop with the other).
There's a pretty easy, cheap, and straight forward fix for this.

Twitter’s “Following” timeline is misbehaving
Apparently, users’ “Following” timelines are not keeping up to date with posts by all the users being followed. Is anyone else seeing this? I haven’t gotten to verify it yet.
Somewhat of a meta-comment but I’m shocked at how many people are complaining about you not taking cash.

Has anyone ever walked out of your coffee shop because they only had cash on them? I can’t remember the last time I paid or even saw someone pay cash for anything.

Please no. That's how it usually starts. It was with small change but now McDonalds harasses you every time you make an order to round up for some charity I never heard about. I'd donate to charities on my own.

Needless to say I avoid these places like the plague.

> Aging and death are awful.

For whom? For the dying and aging sure. For the young who want to make space for themselves in the world and make their own mark, ageless elderly could be a sentence to a life not worth living. The ability to progress career wise and find good work could be stunted. Political and social change could be halted even more than it is today.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t do it if we can, but one thing that is certain is that it’s going to drastically adjust human society in a very unequal way.
> There is a belief that if they are just persistent enough, their target will see their attempts as affection and fall head over heals for them.

Depends on the kind of stalker. I think you get these delusional obsessive people, but you also get abusive exes who stalk their ex to keep them from moving on or try to scare and intimidate and sometimes assault or kill their new partners.

>even though |X|=|Y| ...

Yeah for me it simply doesn't. It isn't false, it just doesn't even make sense.

Define X and Y as you did but make one of the segments joined to make Y /be/ X.

Now if it is ever meaningful to have a one to one correspondence when infinity is lurking about surely the points on X correspond exactly, one to one, each with itself. Once all the points of X are accounted for, clearly half of Y remains, there is no other way. There is simply no point you can select in X that is free to correspond to the second half of Y if you select corresponding to itself in preference. You can never, ever select a point corresponding to the second half of Y if you admit preference to corresponding to itself in selection.

But X has an inexhaustible number of points to chose from by definition and so does Y. So if you start picking points at random from Y and matching them up to a previously unused point from X you can do that forever and never exhaust either of the sets of points. Thus X and Y correspond one to one and no points remain of either X or Y. And there are the same number of integers as there are integers that are even.

I wonder if all these laid off engineers will end up opening small businesses and using their skill to cut one or two employees. Maybe we'll finally get a push toward real automation.
I'm in a similar boat. All of my friends are sober alcoholics (both coincidence and networking) and so aside from rare occasion with family, I don't drink alcohol and honestly don't enjoy the feeling anymore.

I doubt I average more than a drink a month. My extended family, however, might have several a week (glass of wine with dinner, or an after-dinner cocktail). Get far enough out into the countryside, and driving after drinking is, if not normal, then at least hardly frowned upon unless you're not able to walk straight.

More and more often, I find myself thinking that if there is a choice to be made, someone somewhere will take it.
My personal rule is – if I didn't tip for something 5 years ago I don't tip for it today. Restaurants, taxis and food delivery make the cut, as do most personal services like cleaning and haircuts. Self checkouts, grab and go items, food trucks, fast food, online shopping, convenience stores, grocery stores and lots more all get $0 extra from me with absolutely no guilt. Oh and the default 20/25/30% options all come way down as well. If others want to get socially shamed into it, well that's fine by me.
Why so you give preferential treatment to those specific jobs?

Don't be fooled by this idea that those individuals have any real power.
They are in a silent contract with the aristocracy around them, and the same process repeats all the way down the base of the pyramid.

You're fine playing along because you're on the winning side of the deal.

Say you were a software contractor, would you be ok with working for a customer based only on an "expected price range" with a 4x spread, over which the customer has complete unilateral discretion, decided only after the work has been completed?

If your first instinct is "that's different", I'd like to know how.
I believe this is a corporate tax game they are partially playing, as they can write off your charitable donation as their tax benefit. (Never round up, just donate directly to charities you choose.)
No, I mean does the system keep a record of every reply it provides such that someone could check to find if there was a match. Obviously a naive avoidance technique would be to re-phrase an answer.

That said it can produce nearly identical answers to prompts such as: write a poem about subject A in the style of poet A; now write a poem about subject A in the style of poet B. Seems to provide [at least in limited tests] nearly identical answers.
60% isn't a startling figure. What is, is that 90% of the alcohol sold is consumed by 10%, most of whom are essentially functional alcoholics. 1 in 10 of the people you encounter daily.

Open Collective doesn't charge fees to hosts that don't charge fees either [1], and most collectives can "self-host" themselves.

It's a great recurring payment option that we're using for our local hackerspace [1]. Though I think their checkout process could probably work better with a bit less friction.

And to stay on topic, we always prefer GitHub Sponsors over Open Collective, since they absorb payment processing fees. :)

Friendliness or a general level of service is in a lot of industries considered a competitive factor that contributes to increased customer lifetime value through repeat sales, loyalty etc.

Why should the restaurants be any different? If I like the food and the service, I'll want to come again - the restaurant increases their earnings that way and both I and the business are happy.

The question then again comes down to how is that an incentive for the workers. The obvious answer is that their pay should be linked to the earnings of the business. The fact that it is not shows the fundamental problem with current state of capitalism, where the primary goal is to exploit the work of the workers below your financial level (as a business owner) and increase your wealth based on the ever-increasing difference between costs / wages and revenue.

The incentive of business is in conflict with incentive of workers, and the interest of customers - business will be motivated to use the workers willing to work for less, count tips towards salaries, but also use lower quality/cost ingredients etc.

A system where the worker salaries would be linked to revenue, with some nuance of course, would ensure top quality / service / products for the customers, fair reward and aligned incentives for the workers, and access to top tier employees (since they would want to work for businesses with higher revenue), happy customers and increased revenue to the business.
