I would agree with you. In the first sentence the writer puts Breda in southern Holland in stead of in Brabant. That is just wrong to somebody from Brabant.

This is something that I think most people recognize when they see journalism about a subject they know much about. Journalism often seems really limited and dumbed down when you know a subject and the journalistic piece is short. But then when you don't know a subject, it seems really good and valuable and you learn a lot (ignoring that it must seem dumbed down to somebody else).

Why is it then that we leave the greatest tips at the fanciest restaurants? Shouldn't it be reversed? We leave $5 tips at diners but we leave $100+ tips at Michelin star restaurants.

This is for product dev team though, not ops. Don't get me wrong, it's easy to plan works that take less than 7 work days or more than 14 work days, assuming the sprint is 10 work days.

The Troubling History Behind Tipping Practices
Unfortunately the framing matters a lot, and people are not logically consistent in their preferences. The only way to know if people support affirmative action is to ask them "do you support affirmative action?"

This reminds me of when Andrew Yang's campaign found that Americans are much more supportive of universal basic income proposals if you call it a "Freedom Dividend" instead of UBI. I imagine whether the proposal comes from a Republican or a Democrat also would have a big impact.

What you can't do is try to determine if someone supports a policy in the abstract and then assume that they must have the same attitude towards a real implementation of that policy.
That's a good point. I thought the Russian civil war was already happening at that time, so it enabled everyone in Russia to focus on that one alone. Is that incorrect?
A lot of bank apps refuse to work if they detect your device as rooted/failing safetynet. My bank used to do it but they either stopped caring or more probably magisk now handles it so the apps can't tell.
IMO, the biggest reason for me is that the code looks a lot more similar to the math than in python/R. This comes from a number of places (multiple dispatch, ability to use unicode symbols, you don't have to vectorize everything, etc), but the end result is code that looks a lot like the math you are trying to do (for examples, see https://discourse.julialang.org/t/from-papers-to-julia-code-...)

I would add:

- Don't build your CI/CD pipelines; use Vercel or something similar

- Don't use message queues, crons and anything that can by design cause race conditions until absolutely unavoidable

- Use a framework if you and your team know one well (e.g. Django Rest Framework), otherwise use whatever you know inside out even if it doesn't have all the features you need - or you'll end up slowing down painfully at every other complex bug

- Using TypeScript for both backend, frontend and the domain simplifies a bunch of things (configuration, types)

- Unless you're building ML pipelines in parallel to a web app (or some similar clear technological separations exist, e.g. web interface and an UE5 game), you should use one programming language. All your developers should know the app A-Z in the early stages.

- Your product is unlikely to succeed overnight but likely to die because of overengineering. You should worry about scaling, but only a little bit.

- Forget using JWTs if you're in some sort of regulated field. Any sensible white/greybox certification for insurance (and that's often a requirement for running a business) will require you to have "log out all devices" option.
Unless you play on HDR/OLED TV, in which case the better colors give more quality than any graphical setting difference.
The only thing you can count on is that the place pays the federal minimum wage and that legally, the place is supposed to make up tips. Tips make wage theft really easy for the employer.

Most places aren't Seattle. Most states and cities aren't setting higher minimum wages for wait staff, and most aren't putting the minimum on par with other folks. As you travel through the country, you probably aren't going to see if the folks in the area are paid well or see how much of a jerk you are for not tipping in a country that expects it instead of including wages in the price of goods.
This article is completely wrong. For every electron you place in the floating gate of the transistor, an electron is removed from the bulk or substrate of the device. The net weight is exactly the same, you are only moving electrons within the device.
I could get behind that with a carveout for inexperienced folks and qualified businesses which essentially are very small businesses that are provably low profit (ie the owners/share holders are not seeing massive return).

Really roughly the idea being:

Minimum wage is now = ((Median 1bed room monthly Rent in zipcode)*.3333) / 160 and will be updated annually.

(.3333 of income must pay for a 1 bedroom house)

If you're under 18 and have less than 1 year's experience you can accept earning 50% of minimum wage to get the experience.

If your business has less than $500k of revenue, and no one is paid more than 2x anyone else. Then you can pay as low as 50% of minimum wage.

I'm curious to hear from others how such a system would break?

I'll put it this way: I'm just an idiot engineer, not a programmer really- but I've written some blazingly fast code in Julia that would have taken me way, way longer to write and resulted in way, way slower results in other languages I've played in.

I have to shoutout Chris Rackauckas for being a such badass, helpful person too. He'll probably be in this thread any minute because he's the best damn advocate for Julia there is. :-)
No sane person thinks that the current system is exploitative? No sane person thinks that it takes advantage about a power differential due to who has the capital (land, factory etc.)? I guess I know a lot of insane people.

How many people really get paid how much they think they are worth under the current system? Not many I know.

How much does the person with the capital risk compared to the employee who might lose their home with the loss of their livelihood? Do most employees really believe that they have a rational and fair choice of the risks they enter into? (including the risk of surviving on a low income)

I guess I'm not meeting these swathes of workers completely satisfied with their wages, risks, and the system they live in.

I know plenty of Socialists who believe in different benefits for different levels of effort or danger, especially as in Capitalism most of those people are the most poorly paid at present.
Tipping is a backwards system, honestly.

No real minimum wage laws, so pass what should be the employer cost on to the customer?

It's even crappier for workers when bosses dictate that tips should be pooled or whatever.

Honestly it should be more regulated and the minimum wage should be ate least reasonable.

Based on the sibling thread about the geographic extent of the modern Netherlands vs. the post-revolt Dutch Republic, yes, to me it seems like you're nitpcking. The author is trying to give a rough reference point to readers not familiar with the details of the history or geography. Trying to enumerate the changes in borders would be tedious, beside the point, and go over the head of most readers (who wouldn't recognize the names of the relevant towns/regions/etc.)

Edit: Though I'm defending the author on this point, I would agree that this isn't a great piece of writing. It's a "potted biography" that doesn't seem to have much of an overall point.

That analogy doesn't hold up.

Because if consumers genuinely don't notice the sesame seeds are gone, that means they never cared in the first place, and this is a better outcome for everyone. Why were farmers growing useless sesame seeds in the first place? Now they can switch to blueberries or whatever and the world is better off. It's kind of like, thank god those nasty canned olive slices finally disappeared from salads. Also, the company can't get away with raised prices because those buns are still next to regular buns from other companies, and consumers will buy the cheapest one. (Or if inflation is happening, everybody's raising prices, but that has nothing to do with sesame seeds.)

On the other hand, if consumers are actively seeking out sesame seed buns, there is absolutely a point at which they notice and say, what the hell, this brand hardly has any sesame seeds, I'm going to buy the competing brand that still has a normal amount of sesame seeds. The company sees sales are plummeting, and they quickly add back seeds until people are buying them again. But there is an optimal number of sesame seeds here. It makes no sense to double the sesame seeds when consumers don't care.

The idea that a company can keep removing something consumers want to pay for, but they won't notice, just doesn't exist in the real world. In the real world, either consumers do want to pay for it and sales will suffer, or it turns out consumers don't actually want to pay for it and the company gives consumers a simplified product that is still subject to market price competition like every other product, and everybody is better off for it.
Reading the first page of your thesis: "Central to this approach is a novel theory of task similarity that is defined in terms of syntactic properties of
rules, called descriptions, which define what it means for rules to be similar". I wonder if you could use the current LLMs to obtain task similarity by semantic properties obtained by LLMs. (Just in case you develop the idea, put me as a coauthor for the main idea )).

Jokes apart, what makes me able to detect that kind of applications of LLM is that I have been looking how to combine LLM with rule based systems, using statistical methods, so I analyze anything that smells like that.

It's platform suicide. A certain fraction of users will be shut out of their accounts each year, you can plot a line and find that the platform dies out in a certain number of years.

Oh, I know new construction of both single-family and multi-family is a big market, but that's at the behest of the developers. The people buying and renting don't necessarily choose those things, and many renters would prefer their landlord not be able to control their home. Their choices are then limited to whether or not they are able to find housing without smart features.

Again, the question comes down to whether or not the residents are the market.

> People expect more from their homes

That sounds like housing industry hype. People want an affordable, safe, secure home. They don't necessarily want or even need to check the status of their HVAC over the internet while on vacation in Maui.

AFAIK you don't get ads in the Google email client as well, only when using gmail.com from your browser.

When using any POP/IMAP client, you won't get ads as the POP/IMAP protocol has no provisioning for it. Unless Google injects the ad into the email body (which is near impossible to do reliably) they cannot show ads even if they want to.

It's fine to subtract out the preload if you're talking about stiffness rather than simply strength, and that's a valid way of using words and a valid way of analyzing a bike wheel, but not so uniquely-valid that hanging from the top spokes can be called a misconception.
But the reality is you cannot hope for management to realize it, and for a good reason. If reprioritize a new feature can bring more revenue compared to original plan, or if a better flow is now available due to other team's completed task, or if a severe bug is discovered someday, it's just logical to reprioritize.
> The statement isn't mine [1] and employs the literary device of hyperbole (noun - extravagant exaggeration) in the use of "most."

Even still, you said you vibed with it, and then credulously defended its essence. You could have easily noted that you were just being cheeky, but instead you launched into a defense of the core idea of the quote. So you're a little late to disavow it.

> The primary _stake_ (something gained or lost) in academics is not the individual academics' wellbeing, but publication and research output, which is often only relevant to very few within siloed fields.

You've identified low stakes, but as I said earlier, your position as a Ph.D. student has precluded you from high stakes discussions that occur in academia. Just because you're only familiar with the low stakes, does not mean there aren't high stake discussions and politics surrounding those that occur in academia. In many cases, the stakes can be as high as the continued longevity of institutions that have existed for over 100 years, with hundreds of millions to billions in assets, that serve as a homes and communities to tens of thousands of people, and are cornerstones of their local communities. Those seem like high stakes to me.

> or otherwise receive undeservedly _vicious_ (aggressive)

The definition you provided is "dangerously aggressive; marked by violence or ferocity". You can't just leave out key aspects of the definition to make it fit your narrative (and again, that's all your providing here is a narrative, no proof or evidence). How is anything you've noted "dangerous"? How is it "marked by violence or ferocity"?

> are _bitter_ (distressing to the mind) to the authors who receive mixed feedback as the process is out of their locus of control

To me, this really just gives the impression that you couldn't make it in academia. Not a dig, not everyone can. Congrats on your Ph.D., sounds like you had a bad experience, but that's not a reason to smear all academics with smarmy quips you can't substantiate.

One of the tipoffs that you are working under fake agile not real agile. I have the same problem with using the word "sprint" as well, but I think the true issue is that most orgs claim to be "agile" when they are actually doing some variety of waterfall with agile verbiage thrown in. The best test for fake agile is if you can't cancel the daily standup, even for a couple of days, via the retro.

It's slightly more complicated: hourly wage is the greater of ($3 + tips) or (standard minimum wage). So, the effective minimum wage is still the standard minimum wage.

Start with protocols for handling the data well. Then figure out what flows work.

Start at the bottom with what already is, with what is concrete & true, and build forward from that.

I both want us to be careful & considerate, but also, I find the assaults against progress like this to be impossible. We can keep tattering efforts to advance forever, create ever more gates, raise ever more concerns about any topic forever. I used to be able. To process this kind of cross examination as a tempered concern & moderation, but increasingly I feel like grace is lost, that- whatever the intent- we are suffering from a large amassed anti-will, a will against.

Having the technical standards & options to do these capabilities doesn't imply that every system has to offer them. Most should, & there should be good options for managing them (and the concern here is valid that the options indeed be good & usable) . But security keys have been a miserable failure, in huge part because users have never been given options to manage their contents, because the device has been the sole authority & holder. It's non negotiable in my mind that exporting importing files needs to happen ASAP, with low barriers. We keep roadblocking progress with concern that some users will make awful mistakes.

If we had forever we could perhaps make your perfectly safe & secure utopia, where power users and the lowliest end user both happily safely operate, but we do not have forever. Given this, we ought create powerful technical underpinnings that make user capabilities possible & evolvable, then let product iterate & hone on how they can best marshal & expose subsets of those capabilities in ways catered to their users. What we cannot do is gate progress on imagined self-threatening users, what we cannot do is to forever pick the lowest common denominator of options, out of fear.
Why would we entertain this conjecture? Why is it plausible in the slightest, since it seems to clash with intuition that information is a completely separate thing to mass-energy?
