Not all product pricing is determined by the cost to produce the product.

Not all product pricing is intuitive to consumers.

Products are frequently sold at a loss as well (google "loss leader") for various reasons - usually to ease adoption of a platform (Microsoft's Xbox 360 comes to mind, though my memory of it being a loss-leader might be apocryphal).

Whether or not you believe it costs more or less to produce a chip than it costs to produce a phone isn't relevant. The price of phones aren't determined solely by the cost to produce phones. There are many more factors involved. Supply chain agreements, labor contracts, marketing, regulatory, tooling, distribution, market factors, etc, etc - those are just some of the things that influence a product's pricing. The factors considered when setting a chip's price shares those same concerns and probably more.

yes, 100%, it's better for cops to be brave and risk their lives to do their job when it's necessary (e.g. Uvalde, Micah), like they signed up to do

given that Micah was cornered, they could have also waited, perhaps even negotiated (they did, after all, trick him by saying their suicide drone was actually carrying a phone to negotiate), but neither of those options makes a big cool boom or sates bloodlust

anyways, any bully can pick up a gun and boss around non-threats while being paid handsomely and enjoying legal immunity for nearly anything they do

it is far better for cops to do their jobs, even if they're scared, even if they die, than to set a precedent of extrajudicial domestic drone killing of suspects. that's why they get paid more than burger flippers.

I honestly can't understand the opposite logic: that precedent is horrible

> Asked what measures the city will take to ensure the survival of Paris’s newly planted trees, Paris officials pointed to a longstanding protocol to water them every two weeks for the first three years.

I think a very newly planted tree must be watered more often than every two weeks if there is no rain and it's hot.

From experience, trees that have not rooted yet and have a small root ball can dry out and suffer very quickly. I've seen advice to soak them twice a week if it's warm and dry...

Good point about the cleaning, but there's a lot of cleaning that happens without table service, including for example, clearing up mess at fast food restaurants where I'm sure tips aren't generally being paid.

Carrying plates is more work than carrying a takeout bag, but is carrying plates a few meters the thing that warrants tens of dollars? Hell to save $10 on a meal I'd happily collect it from the kitchen myself. Some places even do this with the little buzzers that go off.
Two years ago or so I bought a ThinkPad with an AMD Ryzen CPU, there was a lot of hype about them. How Linux laptops were finally competitive, speed, driver, and battery-wise.

The machine was quite a bit slower than an M1 Air, would have loud fans during video meetings, and on Linux the battery would typically last 3 hours (6-7 on Windows, yes I did all the usual power optimizations). In S3 sleep it would discharge overnight and the next day it would refuse to charge with Lenovo’s included USB-C adapter. When waking up the machine from sleep the track point or trackpad wouldn’t come up 1/3rd of the time on Linux.

I used the laptop for work and the question ‘does the laptop work’ when having a meeting or having to teach became so stressful, that one day after another Linux hardware episode I immediately went to a store after work and picked up an M1 Air and never looked back (well, got an M1 Max after that).

There is no way I am going to touch Linux on laptops within 5 years.

(I use a headless Linux GPU machine daily, first used Linux in 1994, and was paid to work on a Linux distribution in the past.)
This is not early Linux anymore.
I'd rather the US would impose gun control & prioritize mental healthcare. But since the US seems to have decided that guns are toys that everyone should own, part of the consequences is getting shot by people with guns.
You bring up some good points. Mainly that teaching you to work on your car, your house, or cook is highly specific to your particular environment. Maybe that's an example of the missing killer app for XR.

OTOH these also sound like things a remote teacher could help you with if they could talk to you in an earpiece provided they could immerse themselves in your environment. So the remote teacher would be wearing the AR headset. But now maybe you'd need a robot avatar in your kitchen.

Just brainstorming here but these might be business opportunities.
You and me both, but it won't happen for several reasons:

1) The kind of people who bitch about tipping actually just hate the expectation of it. They're the same people who bitch about the price of everything and how "no one wants to work" when there's a staffing shortage that inconveniences them. They want to keep things just the way they are so they can continue feeling rightously indignant for not tipping instead of admitting they just don't give a shit about labor.

2) Business owners love the system because it effectively means the customers who aren't jackasses subsidize the ones who are and they can pretend the cost of their product is lower than it actually is.

3) The US is a hellscape run by sociopaths that routinely and gleefully burns its people on the alter of mammon. Nearly everyone in a position to do anything about this situation is both 1 and 2.
Oh, that would have made me very angry. And I wouldn't have tipped as a result.
It worked for YouTube helping get Chrome adopted in the first place. (I kid, mostly.)
In general if you're thinking of doing something in a gray area of federal law or regulations then you can write a formal letter to the competent regulatory agency and request an opinion. But you have to be extremely specific and pose your questions in ways that can be answered with a clear yes or no; you can't expect a useful response to a vague request for clarifications or definitions. If the agency does give you a letter containing a positive opinion then it serves as a nearly ironclad defense against any civil enforcement actions or criminal prosecution. Those opinions can change later for political reasons, but you won't be punished retroactively for actions prior to the change.

It's interesting that HN seems so divided on Vision Pro. Lots of skepticism, and also lots of acknowledgement that Apple has a habit of shutting down its doubters.

Personally, I'm still skeptical. They announced 2 hours of battery life, which basically means this needs to always be plugged in. And while this is much more useful and technologically superior to everything that came before, it suffers in other ways. It looks goofier and more dystopian than Google Glass (though maybe Apple's brand status can carry it through this), and is heavier and has a weaker exclusive value prop than Meta's Quest headsets.

For all the hate it gets, Meta at least has a core use case for its Quest headsets - VR gaming. If you want to play VR games, get a Quest. If you want to ??? get a Vision Pro. Still not sure what belongs there. Watch a movie in VR instead of on your TV? See your monitors in VR instead of on your desk? Record precious memories that you want to relive over and over with a huge chunk of tech strapped over your face instead of living and enjoying the moment with those around you?

I guess it's the HomePod strategy on steroids - release an ultra-premium device, then release the mass market version later, once you figure out what people actually want from it.

Either way, there's only so much that speculation can cover. Right now, no one can speak to very basic factors like comfort over extended periods of time, which can make or break this product.

So longtermism seems to be basically a crude form of utilitarianism that takes all possible future human-like life forms as input to its happiness calculation? This means it multiples all problems of utilitarianism by the uncertainty of predicting the future.

> The better societal rule is to disallow tipped employees from receiving less than minimum wage.

That's already the case. Tipped employees have to be paid the normal hourly minimize wage if their reduced wage plus tips doesn't equal out to minimum. This has been the law for decades.
High blood pressure is often refereed to as the "silent killer". It's not like these individuals present sick/ill in their daily lives.

>Also, for 344 reqs we would need to trust apollo dev words, which I don't from obvious reasons.

That number was corroborated by Reddit themselves.[1] There is no reason to assume malice on the side of Apollo. Regardless, $2/user is still a ridiculous ask for a social media site. That is $24/year/user. If you divide Facebook's entire expenditure for 2022 (where they pissed away billions on metaverse), and divide that by their MAU, you get a cost of $21/year/user. You really think Reddit's cost per user is higher than Facebook+Instagram+Whatsapp+Metaverse combined? The number just isn't realistic.

No, America is not uninsurable if insurers are allowed to price policies rationally, as the article eventually admits:

'The regulatory environment is also contributing to insurance flight.

In California, regulators have blocked insurers from raising rates above a certain threshold, which insurers say has prevented them from covering the costs of their policies.
At an average of about $1,300 per year, home insurance rates there "have been artificially low for decades," Insurance Information Institute (III) spokesman Mark Friedlander tells Axios.
"This means insurers have been writing business there for this very high risk. And they've been losing money."'
> I think to compare prices you need something with adequate GPU performance (which the M2 has).

I feel your comment reads too much like fanboy excuses. CPU is not the only or even main requirement. I personally want to max out on RAM and HD. I can buy a mini PC with 32GB of RAM and a 500GB nvie for 400€. With a Mac, I need to spend almost twice that to only get 25% of te RAM and 50% of that HD space.

This was the norm since Apple shipped Intel core i5 Mac minis.

There is no way around this. Apple price gouges their kit. It's irrelevant how you feel they fare n artificial benchmarks.

Neither did it for me. What has worked somewhat, is shifting the mindset. I could make my bed everyday and I never felt more productive for achieving something small first. However, when I set my mind to become a more tidy person overall, putting things in the right place, stops being as cumbersome.
It's that focusing on one specific aspect of the system and compromising on everything else that produces the really big discrepancies. I tried to use PCPartPicker to spec out a rough equivalent of a maxed-out Mac Pro in terms of CPU cores, GPU performance, and RAM and SSD capacity, but still ended up at with at most a 3.5x disparity, and that's ignoring the GPU VRAM capacity limitation and features like Thunderbolt and 10GbE and assembly and warranty and support. If you want to assign $0 value to a large portion of a Mac's features then you can make it look wildly overpriced, but that's mostly an admission that it's the wrong product for your needs.
pretty much everything can be a security, and everything is securities fraud. ask Matt Levine if you don't believe me.
Activity that falls outside of the specified parameters needs to be deemed as illegal. The ultimate way of getting there is people need to vote on sensible privacy laws on what can or can’t be used for prosecution.

> Tips are a percentage.

Not always. Some tips are flat rates. It all depends.

And this is part of what makes US tipping culture insane. Not only are what's tipped and what's not essentially arbitrary, so you just have to "know", but the amount isn't even the same across all traditional tipping situations. So you have to "know" that, too.

The whole thing is just broken on every level.

Can that be correct? I thought the falling man experienced no change on crossing the event horizon (other than the effects of spaghettification, which begins long before arriving at the horizon).

I thought that you'd continue accellerating toward the singularity, asymptotically approaching both the speed of light and infinite inertial mass. Am I wrong?
Except, video game developers have had like ten years to figure out a VR "killer app" game. Even Valve failed. VR just isn't a significant enough increase in experience for the vast vast VAST majority of games to justify the annoyance of having a mask on, let alone the price. If you are super into simulators, then you have some incredible options, but otherwise it's just a bunch of beat saber clones and mediocre shooters.

VR is a peripheral, not a console. Very few people would choose a VR Magic game over Magic the gathering arena.
I was out shopping with a family member over the weekend and found that the Rubicon had just been crossed: The checkout at a retail store prompted for a tip.

I didn't see it myself (we were at a Five Below and I didn't need anything) but it apparently came up on the screen after all the items had been rung up. Not that it even matters at this point, but as an added absurdity... this was in the self-checkout.

The funny thing is, I think I actually welcome this. I've become a tipping accelerationist now: Please, prompt me to tip at the bank. Not just the teller, when I log on to online banking. Prompt me to tip when I pay my electric bill. Let's see how far this can go before it all burns down.

What, we're talking about wikis and vim, and not mentioning vimwiki?

https://github.com/vimwiki/vimwiki

I tried a whole bunch of personal wikis over the years (I see Zim has been mentioned, that's one of the ones I remember trying) and this is the only one that stuck.

The github page shows some basic markdown, but it also handles nested checklists (parent nodes can be partially checked off) and understands tables (automatically fixing spacing so columns stay aligned). It can also render to HTML (though I don't use that feature) and has a whole bunch of other stuff too.
The fact that Tim Cook didn’t wear the display once during the demo is all I needed to create my opinion on the device. They also didn’t show any developers using the device - why?
