Typically, workers are paid a flat rate, businesses buffer the worker's income generating activities, such that the business owners pocket high income activities (like serving drinks and being tipped) with low income activities (like washing the dishes at the end of the night). Any money left over after wages, is pocketed by the business owner, to be used on a day with low income day (think Friday night vs Sunday night at a restaurant).

Dynamic pricing allows workers more exposure to the value they generate, thus enabling them to capture higher pay.

I once used a very expensive wolf brand microwave that would always run the magnetron for at least 10 seconds regardless of the power level setting. So if you set it to do 10% power for 10 seconds it would actually do 100% power for 10 seconds. I'm kind of shocked that their QA didn't catch this, if nothing else it should refuse to run at reduced power settings for times under ~100 seconds.
> Women, who make up 41% of the Tech Guild, earn 12% less on average than men

Such statistics are meaningless without more context. For example, are women over-represented in entry level positions? Do they work the same hours? the same overtime? And so forth.

Articles that present such statistics are pushing propaganda.
Technically true, while ignoring all details of how "productivity" is defined. Claiming it's an issue of measurement and not definition implies you believe there's some ironclad and universally applicable definition of productivity, i.e., once again imposing your own ideology without any good faith efforts to include other perspectives.
This introduction appears to describe a lot more going on than that.

I actually put his in a lineup with others when I got in a chili oil craze.

And while it definitely is good quality, it isn't mind blowing. And I personally prefer other brands instead! It's also, to my taste, much more Americanized. Much more refined sugar and using a different less complex method for the umami.

Show me an example of “gouging” in any market except those with government-controlled supply.

Surprise!

You can’t — because, it turns out, people enjoy providing goods and services at a profit, and will gleefully and immediately resolve the supply disruption that led to the “gouging”.

This topic is surprisingly robust, for something with so many obvious counter examples in such a wide range of scenarios…
The question was sincere yet playful. I appreciate your answer. Here's a poem I like.

O'er all the hilltops

Wait, soon like these
Thou too shalt rest.

The motivation for the purchase is Enterprise Database software is extremely sticky. So what I said in my original post, jack up the licensing the costs and cut expenses and squeeze the customer base for more money.

It doesn't matter about loss to shareholders, money paid is NOT going to the company, it's going to shareholders unless the company is significant shareholder. K1 has -40Million on Spreadsheet about MariaDB BEFORE any additional investments and they want that money back. So how is K1 going to make its money back? My gut is my original post is more correct than some investing in the product to make a better database and beat out the competitors. I'll point out the new CEO, while having engineering degrees, seems to be more a business type person.

And, critically, with the high volume they're able to keep supplies fresh and staff well-trained. Taco bell is still just salty, fatty fast-food, but that one is top-tier (locations right off major interstates in well-lot towns tend to have better food too). The vast majority of locations are worse -- bad burrito folding, sloppy ingredient measuring, stale tortillas, crusty beans, .... I think the public sentiment would be better if people hadn't experienced low-volume Taco Bells.

Perhaps relevant to this subject, there are now <$400 three-band GNSS compass receivers (e.g. two three band receivers in a single unit so you can run two antennas with a meter or two baseline and get accurate headings in addition to position), based on the Unicorecomm UM982 chipset. E.g. https://www.ardusimple.com/product/simplertk3b-compass/ (There are other vendors, but I've done business with this one before)

I mention it because for imaging, small heading errors have way more impact on where you're looking than small position errors but single antenna gps doesn't really give you headings except with assumptions from motion.

> Which defeats the point of buying the foods at issue from a farmer, unless you are suggesting that everyone buy the equipment they need to make deli meat at home from the quarter-cow they just purchased.

Most farmers have a butcher that they will bring the animal to so you don't need to handle it. I have never had to process any animals myself or even bring them to a butcher. Considering your whole post is based off that faulty assumption I'll end replying to you directly there.

This was already mentioned in the first post. Why are these commenters building these straw men and seemingly being purposely obtuse? This whole comment chain is so weird and kind of surreal. People who have zero idea of what local agriculture actually looks like in practice have such strong opinions on it and are willing to talk so condescendingly to those of us that actually care about how food is made.

One of the site rules is 'assume good faith' but we have one comment talking about bathtub bologna and another implying that anyone who buys meat outside of a grocery store needs to process the animal themselves.

Despite the propaganda portraying local agriculture as some hick operation the reality is it's far safer and more modern than industrial ag. My local food co-op has a website with an order form that delivers fresh food (dairy, produce, and meat, including deli meat!) In an insulated refrigerated cooler to my door.

And because apparently it needs repeating for some reason: no you don't need to process the animals yourself. Simply pick the meat you want, just like how you do it now.

:: :: ::

It makes perfect sense that a Caesar wouldn't trust anyone who seemed to be "sleeping on sticks and tasting gall" (臥薪嚐膽); armed rebellions are expensive, and someone who (by stock and flow analysis) clearly can't build up a war chest or hire spies or corrupt your guys can be trusted to the extent that they won't do much harm whenever they ultimately betray that trust.

In very early feudal days, a king would wander around his kingdom with his retinue, using up each vassal's surplus in high living, and then moving on to the next.

Louis XIV is credited with flipping that script: by running an extravagant court, he made sure that (even if his vassals themselves had to return to their own properties to administer them from time to time) their wives and children were close to the court, and a good portion of the revenue from their properties was flowing towards Versailles to support the court life to which they all had become accustomed.

In Victorian days (in addition to commissions having been bought, not awarded) the posher cavalry units also used to apply a variation on this principle: setting unit mess dues higher than the army salary effectively kept the riff-raff out.

In our days I've heard a VP Sales explicitly say he likes his top producers to have expensive hobbies, because it keeps them hungry (and working for him; they might get poached by an established rival, but they're highly unlikely to go to a startup and work for relative peanuts).
> Unions are not similar to companies because they don't compete on the free market. For this reason, much like all state-funded institutions, unions are much more prone to corruption.

The government has intricate voting protections for organized capital: oversight of the voting process with minority shareholder rights, stringent rules for the board and corporate governance, allowed cross-company collusion through mergers with very little checks, especially if the merger crosses industry lines. And they get extreme protection from liabilities for damages they cause.

For organized labor there is little in right-to-work states: "minority" voter rights that say anyone can defect from the majority, in many right to work states the majority can't even freely negotiate a contract that says new hires will be bound to the voting process (each new hire can defect), most of the voting rules there just make things almost impossible to organize as a whole rather than protecting the equivalent minority stakeholders, and collusion between unions isn't possible in the same way due to federal laws making secondary strikes illegal.

Organized capital gets a great structure to collaborate together that would be illegal if they were owners of separate businesses, workers get forcefully atomized even if they try and set up the organization through a freely negotiated contract (due to freely negotiated contracts not being able to set terms for new hires, through the outlawing of "Union Security Agreements" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_security_agreement). So things like dues don't have to be paid by new hires but the get the protections, then the collective action free-rider problem takes over and eventually dues for funding things like support during strikes dries up.

Imagine if new shareholders who bought some shares through an existing holder didn't have to be bound by the share-majority vote and could just sandbag mergers etc. by not agreeing to go through with it for their portion of the shares and they couldn't be forced to through the normal state collective action enforcement mechanisms that shareholders today all enjoy.

It's good that Tesla is explicitly stating FSD requires supervision, and my impression is that the FSD purchase page has implied a driver may need to intervene since 2017 or 2018.

FSD has gotten significantly better too, which I imagine is why they need to be more precise with what it can and cannot do.

Also, FSD started at $8k. IIRC, it went up to $15k after the pandemic.

I don't mind the minor inconveniences of the web like approving a location check. My email client provides very good tools for dealing with spam, notifications and spam notifications. If a brand wants to make their web site load excessive resources that is their loss because the site will be slow and drive people to another brand.

Back in the day people were much less into the e-commerce habit and not using mobile technology so they weren't ordering food on the go.

Another question is "What relationship to people have to fast food?"

I worked at a company that did geospatial analysis such as retail location selection. We had a theory that people chose fast food because they were on the way from point A to point B so the right way to think about it was not about the density of commercial or residential development in an area but rather about the density of trips that pass by a point. I was involved in a pilot project to use touchscreens to collect data at the POS just before the mobile age made it possible to collect trip data directly.

Thus my consumption of fast food is opportunistic: I eat at Taco Bell sometimes because it is in a neighborhood with a Wal-Mart, Gamestop, Petsmart, Staples, an illegal cannabis dispensary (not like I can't get better weed elsewhere), award-winning wine store, etc. I get hungry On most days I would go to the street taco stand on the other side of the parking lot. which has the best tacos I've seen outside Los Angeles but if it is Sunday maybe I go to the Bell. It's not like the scene in Demolition Man where Sylvester Stalone goes to a fancy dinner at Taco Bell because "all restaurants are Taco Bell" in the future.

If I am traveling maybe I am driving down the freeway and see a sign for a Burger King and stop. Maybe I walk out of the Oculus at the WTC site and see both a Chopt and a BK and, even though I have a BK gift card in my pocket, the line looks really long at the BK and I go to the Chopt because it is really fast food.

I can see that Taco Bell wants to develop a special relationship with me but I don't want to develop one with Taco Bell. Really I don't find it easy to install an app (until I broke my old iPad, my old iPad insisted that I log in with my Apple account password whenever I wanted to install an app despite the fingerprint scanner working just fine for everything else. I don't know my Apple account password because I keep it in a password manager and the app store was the one thing that would make me require to use it when I am on the go. When I bought a new iPad this cleared up. I go to the Bell maybe 4 times a year, it is just not worth having another app cluttering up my device making it harder to find the apps that really matter to me.
That’s a fair point but a lot of his food may taste good to uninitiated western palate. I also see this in Indian cuisine because the spices are on the strong side, it takes awhile (years even) to be able to differentiate between good and subpar. Again, I like the guy and he worked his ass off and took necessary risks to succeed.

Starting on K8s will make scaling down difficult. Starting without K8s for Clace makes it possible to control the developer experience better. Adding K8s and scaling up can be done later.

At an abstract level, Kubernetes is used for managing compute (applications) and storage (databases/queues/file stores/volumes), stateless services and stateful data stores. Compute by itself is easy to scale. Managing storage and stateful data stores are where some of the complexity of K8s comes from.

For many workloads, it makes sense to use a managed database (RDS/managed Redis/S3 etc). Data backups, performance etc are easier to handle with a managed service, at the cost of how much you pay. If the stateful data stores are externally managed, using K8s for compute might be overkill, especially when you consider the extras (like ArgoCD, Service Mesh, IDP etc) which need to added to make it a useful developer experience.

Clace aims to provide a scalable solution for compute only scenarios, providing a great developer experience while targeting internal tools as the primary initial use case.

> My question is, isn't this specifically anti-competitive wage fixing? This seems exactly like RealPage but for employee compensation. As far as I know, colluding on wages like this is illegal.

As long as Pave just helps employers look backward in time so to speak I’m not sure I’d call it collusion. But if they enable some kind of coordination between future potential employers, then yes, maybe it is.

In the RealPage case the coordination aspect consisted of providing a recommended rent for the property if I understand it correctly. I guess the equivalent for Pave would be if they gave a recommendation on what compensation to offer.
Well, but see, supply and demand works on both ends.

That is, I'm selling the thing that's in short supply. But why is it in short supply? Because if I'm the manufacturer, I can't make any more of them than I'm making. And if I'm the distributor, I can't sell any more than I can buy from the manufacturer.

And why can't the manufacturer make any more? Typically, because there's some resource that they can't get. So they get some more, but they get it by paying more for it.

So the point is, when the company selling you the widget raises their price, that isn't pure profit. Their costs went up too, because the price of what they need went up.
That might be what dynamic labor pricing implemented by a disinterested third party would do. An interested party can use it to do other things.

Cookies are the only problem here, as far as I know, everything else should be sequestered by origin, which includes the full domain name (and port and protocol). Cookies predate the same-origin policy and so browsers scope them using their best guess at what the topmost single-owner domain name is, using—I kid you not—a compiled-in list[1].

I think a charitable interpretation of his point is "I didn't care about fooling the diners about this specific thing."

But if he allows that to happen and the staff internalizes a culture of corner-cutting and misdirection, then eventually they'll start lying to customers and taking shortcuts on things that do matter.

In most international markets Uber is already the "premium" option. Local taxi apps easily beat them on price, and so they cannot afford to go higher.

Rule number 1 when you go to Switzerland: it is the most anti-car country there is.

I was trapped by an armed man once when I was a kid and ever since then I have always had a backup plan to escape. Most taxi drivers are honest good people, some aren't.

It's mostly nanny states that jam you up for a hammer.
I lived in Turkey for over 3 years. It is really sad how taxis were by far the worst part. When Uber came to Ankara, it was a massive improvement in my quality of life.

In Istanbul, there are a few things to watch out for but Uber is still a million times better than calling a random taxi. Part of it is because taxis in Istanbul are surprisingly cheap and it encourages bad behavior. During peak times in the most busy places, Uber drivers may cancel on you if the ride is short. Whatever happens, Uber support in Turkey has been very responsive to me. So I have to give them credit for that.
I'd argue that PHP7 is the closest thing PHP has had to a quality revolution. It fixed a zillion things, got rid of some footguns like legacy mysql, and in general behaved a lot more rationally.

If you were doing things right, by that point you were already using Laravel or Symphony or something, so the change didn't seem as revolutionary as it was, but that was the moment a lot of dumb string concatenated query code (for example) no longer worked out of the box.
