One of the funniest experiences we had visiting Canada was going for a couple of drinks after dinner. My partner was paying the waitress, she happened to have the exact change and counted it out only to be told in no uncertain terms that tipping was expected.

In the UK I don't think I've ever tipped in a bar, except perhaps with bar staff we got to know well and it was usually in the form of drinks after their shift.
What about Belters?

20 years ago I used to occasionally ship tens of thousands of dollars of geophysical surveying equipment from Arkansas to the office of INETER (Nicaraguan governmental earth sciences division). The address was something like "INETER, frente del policlinica oriental, Managua, Nicaragua" (across from the Oriental polyclinic). And DHL would come through!
There were two major differences from the stock Kinkisharyo cars, one technical, one political:

- Most North American light rail systems use 750V electrification, Sound Transit used 1500V to reduce the number of substations.[1]

- The cars arbitrarily had to be assembled at Boeing in Everett "because of a 'Buy American' requirement written into the Kinkisharyo International contract ... Federal grant money is being used to help pay for the light-rail fleet, which means a percentage of the rail cars must be built in the U.S. and that final assembly must take place in Sound Transit's service district".[2]

Seattle's cars also used 70% low-floor access for ADA accessibility and included more bike racks, which isn't unique now but were both relatively novel at the time.[3]

Ahh, the luxury of living in (otherwise hell on earth) tipless country! )
The global economy will suck. There will be less fun things to buy. I'd rather burn it all now than save to buy potatoes in the future.
i think it's a reasonable question directed at clarifying their understanding of my position

or anyway a person who wanted to clarify their understanding of my position could very reasonably ask that question
So does this use embeddings?

Sounds like they might have been sharing hashed emails and other identifiers with advertisers to execute retargeting campaigns:

> BetterHelp said its use of “limited, encrypted information” for targeting ads was an “industry-standard practice” for health-care companies. The company admitted no wrongdoing and it doesn’t share “names or clinical data from therapy sessions” with advertisers, according to a statement.
I'm poka-yoke kind of person, so I blame process. If it's possible to manufacture incompatible device (that works with some cables and doesn't work with the others) and standard allows it and doesn't require clear markings and designations - that's an awful standard.

BTW., as an update - I just received "USB 3.1 Gen 2" cable. It doesn't work.
Some things I do expect anyway:

* The world will become much more dogmatic

* We will experience an even harder push towards the semantic center (i.e., no significant expression), meaning less invention, less artistic or otherwise surprising content.

* Being bored will become the new black.
Timezones are a practical construct for humans. I'm not sure Mars needs its own planetary time zones until humans are living on it - I don't know what purpose it would otherwise serve.
If you need the features in the Premium offering, you still have to purchase licensing.
Just because you're all smoke and mirrors doesn't mean everyone else is.

I agree with you that there's lots of impostors that have no business being called an "engineer". But that hardly means it's not deserving of a profession.
You can do that today with Matrix and whatever client you want (albeit with much more friction than what was previously possible).

There a bunch of bridges[0] available for pretty much any communication network you can think of and some people even go so far as to use their Matrix client for email too.

As a former (reformed?) non-coding architect, non-coding architects are a scourge on the industry. I know you didn't say "non-coding" but if it's a separate job, they're very likely not spending enough time coding.

Seniors should be able to build large, interconnected systems. IMO that's a basic skillset required to reach that level, and part of why I roll my eyes when I see people with 5, 4, 3 years of experience claiming to be seniors.
It works for enterprise software? why so few companies do it then?

also even if we focus on the consumer market there are very successful companies which don’t spend any money on traditional marketing and don’t do ads at all.
Anecdotally my anxiety and unhappiness started going way up around 2012/2013 because the loose social groups I was involved with were using facebook to organize, and I'm one of those people who is too literal or sarcastic or something to come off right on social media and so I had difficulty integrating. Previously, my socializing involved more face to face or calls or texts about what was going on, something I'm much better at.
São Paulo here, never been robbed, but i'm a very tall man, that helps a lot not being robbed
It's pretty shocking to hear that happening to a scientist.

I discussed my research with ChatGPT and it was immediately apparent it's not qualified to have these niche discussions.
They could release refreshed models. I assume some percentage of people don’t want a tesla given how common they are. A striking new body style alleviates that.
> Please stop assuming anything it says it true.

This is overstated and easily disproved. ChatGPT produces accurate facts as a matter of course. test it right now: "How tall is the Statue of Liberty?", "In what state was Abraham Lincoln born?", etc. There are an infinite list of factual questions for which it produces accurate and correct answers.

It loves to hallucinate api methods that don't exist. It can struggle with indivudual logic problems or questions. But these limitations have clear explanations. It's doing language completion so it will infer probable things that don't actually exist. It wasn't designed to do logic problems so it will struggle with classes of them.

Dismissing it as completely unreliable is unnecessary hyperbole. It's a software tool that has strengths, weaknesses and limitations. Like with any other software, it's up to us to learn what those are and how it can be used to make useful products.
I guess, hypothetically, you could have giant D-D power plants producing He3 as a byproduct, which can then be used in smaller more portable applications like (space)ships.
This advice is the cause of so many low quality Medium posts that clog up my google searches and make it hard to find authoritative sources.
As much as I hate tipping, the worst restaurant service I ever had was in a restaurant that eliminated tips. The staff never checked on me and acted like I was annoying them when I asked for anything.
I think there's ample lived experience showing that larger groups of adolescent human beings can be hateful towards people who are different in any way.

In the past, young people were unable to escape this while at school, but once the school day was over they at least had a reprieve until the next school day.

With social media, there is no longer any down time. You are vulnerable to harassment all the time.

I think there is a reason that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Sundar Pichai, and others limited screen time for their own kids.
And that's perfectly fine by me, as long as they stop calling it a tip.

Call it a 'delivery bid' and make it clear that if you don't bid enough, your order may be significantly delayed, cold, damaged or improperly handled, if delivered at all. Of course Doordash et al don't want to do that because the optics are pretty frakking bad.
Alamo Drafthouse is what competent small business leadership looks like. I used to go there every other week when I lived in ATX.
That would be weird of them to merge them no ?

The community can maintain a fork, but I wouldn’t except any company to maintain code that compete with their business model.
The fees being non-refundable has to be a bonus.
I can recall a letter from Japan being delivered with "Wolfram, Eton, England" on it. So I believe the parent comment!
> As it stands, there's no actual concerted "save the children" bandwagon that we're being invited to hop on to.

Maybe one should be created, with a prioritized list of issues, and loudly inform people that if issues at the bottom are being prioritized the proponents may have other motives than the ones they claim.
> I am ok with breaking California into 50 states, many of them would vote red.

If you assume 50 ex-California states would vote in similar proportions to California’s existing 58 counties, and base it on the 2020 Presidential election, the split would be roughly 31-19. With no other changes, that would take the current Senate from 51-49 to 111-87. The House is trickier to do, since you need the actual population of each state; Rs probably gain most because they'd get a bunch of new states benefitting from “you can’t get less than one House seat”, but a lot of that would be at the expense of non-California states rather than the ex-California blue states, who I think would also gain in the House. Net, I think Rs gain a little structural ground in the House, Dems gain a lot in the Senate (affecting appointments and treaties, as well as legislation), Electoral College, resolution of contested Presidential elections (voting on which in the House is by State), and passing (or blocking) Constitutional amendments .
Is not "equity language" just another form of neocolonialism? How can "rich educated people" rename entire ethnic group (latinx) without their consent? Also there is nothing offensive about being "poor"...

Equity language is just another tool to oppress people.
It's like they want to abolish metaphors and want to become language prescriptive --which people and grammarians wanted to get away from in the 60s and later (not that that ever persuaded the French against prescriptive language). And I guess English lends itself to more demands like this because its vocabulary-rich. Other languages have to re-use and recycle words for different meanings a lot more and are not able to accommodate these demands.
Normally the place you're going to just sends you a pin in Google Maps/Waze. Or you set the closest landmark and then use the descriptive address to self-navigate from there. Or you call the place as you get close and have them guide you in.

I've received multi-minute voice messages & a dozen pictures & a map pin describing how to reach some rural places.

While pins are generally shared over Google Maps, it should not be used for navigation. Waze is much better. For example, if I use Google Maps to navigate me to a friend's house 15 minutes away, Google Maps will have me cross a river to get there which is unnecessary.
From January though February (the last month with complete data) the trend was up.
Totally fair. Sorry, I'm walking in halfway to this conversation with a different axe to grind.
Specifically? Firefox to stop bitching that I enter my passwords into unencrypted pages on my local network. Browsers halt or even reverse their plans of deprecating unencrypted transport. Browsers stop bitching about loading unencrypted static resources on an encrypted page.

Generally? Everyone I accused of being shills off the "everything encrypted" bandwagon. If you want to encrypt your websites go ahead. You don't have to believe my unhinged conspiracies from earlier.
Your using electricity in either case, and they're both of the same complexity.
Keeping a note of which version of NodeJS the project was originally developed with is absolutely necessary; it periodically makes breaking changes in major releases. I literally just had to debug a project where the build was failing due to a Node version difference.

And you _can_ manage a dependency tree and keep everything up to date by hand, but it's much nicer to let Yarn do it for you.

EleutherAI announces it has become a non-profit
I agree that it doesn't come by itself, it takes will and dedication and work... I don't think we can take for granted that everything will go by itself. I'm quite pessimistic as to the actual outcomes, to be honest -- but not because I think it's impossible, but I think we're in the process of kinda failing at it. We're certainly not excelling.

> As man advances in civilisation, and small tribes are united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all nations and races. If, indeed, such men are separated from him by great differences in appearance or habits, experience unfortunately shews us how long it is, before we look at them as our fellow-creatures. [...] This virtue, one of the noblest with which man is endowed, seems to arise incidentally from our sympathies becoming more tender and more widely diffused, until they are extended to all sentient beings. As soon as this virtue is honoured and practised by some few men, it spreads through instruction and example to the young, and eventually becomes incorporated in public opinion.

Even an 80 inch TV cannot possibly compare to a 200 inch cinema screen. I'd argue that right now is an amazing time to see cinema granted you can find a good screen and stick with it. Over the last two years since theaters opened back up, I have seen so many films in an empty theater because people are just not going to see non franchise/superhero movies. As a result, the rest of my local cinema screens are flat out empty. I am perfectly fine with that even though I know it is not sustainable. Combine that with the AMC monthly pass where for ~25$ I get to see three movies a week in any format I want, its an amazing deal for movie fans.
Thank you. And I completely agree.
That’s a great summary of my trip there, too! Getting around even within a city (even Alajuela/San Jose) was painful.

I wouldn’t say it was as expensive as the Bay Area, though. You can’t find, say, a Baldi spa hotel like experience in the Bay Area for $100/night.
I read the question as the opposite -- that the poster's property covers 130 plus codes, so which one do you pick?

It does strike me as quite non-obvious what is the proper level of precision. If you own a ranch, are you pointing to the middle of the ranch far away from the house on its corner, or are you pointing to the house itself, but which is also almost next to the house on the neighboring ranch?

Places aren't points and they also aren't areas that fit into pre-existing grids. In reality they tend to be quite irregular shapes whose conceptual "landmark" point (front door, lobby, reception area) is often far away from their geometrical "center of gravity".
>Need for cognition has been variously defined as "a need to structure relevant situations in meaningful, integrated ways" and "a need to understand and make reasonable the experiential world"

So basically your average conspiracy theorist.
It is always the same cycle.

They FED increase the balance out of thin air by massive quantitative easing. If the money reaches the public, unlike 2008 when it only covered holes, inflation arises.

Then they need to create a recession, by increasing interest rates, to solve inflation.

And then they need to lower those rates to get out of the recession. And we go back to the first point.

Simple.
Years ago, one of our VPs, an old colleague, used the phrase "fraternizing with the help" to signal leadership's motives for an unusual and specific reorg.

Someone was concerned that management was being too influenced by the suggestions of labor, and that's just not how chain of command works.
> Nobody is going to be having real-time Zoom calls between Earth and Mars so I'm not sure how in sync it needs to be.

If a contract say "the payment must be received before March 1, 2123", then you have to worry about time syncing between the planets. How fast are fund transfers between planets?
Where I live, that expectation is enshirined in a law created in 2001. The reasoning is, with remote buying you can't physically inspect the item. Hence you can decide to return an item at no cost, provided you have only handled it the way you would have been allowed in a physical store.

I believe the law was originally created due to massive over-promising of results by tele-marketers.

(I live in the Netherlands, but similar laws are common in Europe I believe)
>Nobody is asking governments to regulate adding cool new features to the <Open Message Protocol> that participants can choose to implement or not for their users as they see fit.

Isn't that exactly what you're asking of Apple? Apple already has SMS. You want them to adopt RCS because it has cool new features that are lacking in SMS.
There's only a couple of missing features (for me, anyway) if you self host compared to the premium licensed self-hosted version (which, insanely, is the same price as the SaaS product!):

* CODEOWNERS

EDIT: Not true anymore! -- ~ * Protected branches (IE; preventing people committing to master/main) ~

* Approval Rules in merge requests

* Merge trains (auto-merging if another merge request depends on another).

I've read in a book (which I can't recall the name of) that many of the informal landmarks in Managua were destroyed in the earthquake of 1972, yet remain in use as addresses.
I remember once I was interviewing for a senior position where the ask was something like "design a general purpose system for a REST layer on top of an ORM."

I had just finished implementing an OSS solution that did exactly that, including some upstream changes we made to improve the system, so I walked through exactly what we did, challenges we faced, etc.

I walked out of the interview feeling as though the interviewers and I didn't speak the same language; they might've said the same. Not only did I not get the job, I never got another communication from the company.

To me, senior level interviewing, especially at smaller companies, is fraught. A full 1/3rd of the companies I've interviewed at would not have been a good "culture fit," and I'm a picky interviewer. I expect, like coding tests etc, these interviews are not aligned with the real travails of the position - growing talent, managing time, triaging, and ensuring stability/capability.
The biggest overhead costs are: 1) employee health insurance 2) employment taxes 3) employee benefits like 401K matching 4) real estate costs for offices. Photocopy paper isn't even a rounding error on a rounding error.
My email is in my profile now if you want to discuss this. I was not familiar with that game but it looks interesting. Great work if you are one of the developers!
What really ruins the movie theater experience.

1. People browsing their smartphones in the middle of the movie.

2. People talking loudly during the movie.

3. People kicking the back of the seat.

4. Sticky and dirty floors, seats, etc.

Never had issues with bad projection, but I haven't been to the theaters in a few years.
You're still not getting it. iOS and the locked down game consoles that preceded it all demonstrate the technical feasibility of these controls. All that prevents it is political policy.

I didn't say iOS was the first to do it. I didn't say that you are presently forced to buy such devices. And I certainly didn't say that desktop Linux would survive the sort of totalitarianism the tech industry has invented the means to implement. You're missing the point so severely that it's hard for me to understand where my explanations could be falling short. Are you trying to get a rise out of me?
Tipping is already enshrined into law. It's not "nanny state intervention" to revisit laws that are now being usedin a manner that's completely different from the spirit in which they were first written.

Consumers feel tricked or pressured into tipping, despite having little to no understanding around who is receiving those tips and why. This makes this a consumer protection situation. If that lack of clarity extends to the workers, then it also becomes a worker protection situation.

The government went down this path when it decided to encourage special treatment for tipped workers. So we need to either remove this special treatment, or update the laws to reflect modern reality.
Please stop assuming anything it says it true.

It would be nice if ChatGPT would police itself and not say anything that isn't true. That's what people expect of computers, and why we're in the mess we are now.

But then the problem is people disagreeing about whether ChatGPT is a fair arbiter of truth.
Come on, even Earth doesn't need timezones.
Yes, and that's totally fine. That's part of doing business and stores already take that into account.

However, the web shop I work at pays a 3% processing fee on returned payments initiated by us. It just makes no sense.
You have to know how the sun behaves at your local position relative to the universal time regardless of whether we call that knowledge "time zones" or something else. It sounds like what you want is for everyone to be more explicit about their time zone: instead of saying "the conference starts at 3 PM" they should say, "the conference starts at 3 PM UTC-6", right? From that you can easily derive that it's 9 PM UTC, and interpret that however you like for your current location.
Not true. What statistics do you have here? I've been following Jonathan Haidts substack and he researches this extensively. https://jonathanhaidt.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-ill...

He cites multiple studies that talk about how the same trends are going on in other countries, and the same trends are occurring under similar timelines in places that receive high speed internet.
I worked at a telco a long time ago and was indirectly involved in the installation of a data line to Costa Rica and do not recall anything like the antics in the article.

I would imagine its some kind of status symbol to have your company name be the street address, exactly like we have in the USA, "1 Apple Parkway" in Cupertino. As such everyone in power will want to keep their status symbol of having a "real" postal address, so the system can never be improved without total disruption of local power dynamics.
