If you make more than 1x your wage in tips, then you are mostly paid in tips - regardless of whether your state has a tipped minimum wage law.

Would you hear it from inside the plane? Even if it’s not as loud as the main engine, if it’s audible at all a lot of people would notice a change in pitch/tone. At least, I notice…

I think two different accounting methods are being conflated here which leads to the huge $3B vs $18B difference. Congress periodically authorizes spending for military aid to Isra…

I wonder if people downvoted this because they took it as some kind of political point about COVID-19. Maybe it was, but I agree with it as a serious proposal. Even if the governme…

It might be sacrilege but I find Apple Maps is better now.

Just to give an experience report as someone maintaining a 50k line rust codebase at work. I didn’t write this code and have only read parts of it. I am not a rust expert. I faced …

Well, the phone’s software works great. They just haven’t released those new AI features - which are supposed to come out on some older devices as well. And it’s hardly the first t…

Apple doesn’t have a reputation for letting engineers slack. I have to guess they are working like dogs to meet some standard before they are willing to release.

When my AC broke on the weekend, I got a capacitor from Amazon that arrived next day.

I’ve ridden Waymo in SF and it has gone great. The cost was cheaper than the cheapest Lyft/Uber, but in a much nicer vehicle. I felt 100% safe the whole time, which is better than …

I see a lot of the recommendations expressing anxiety about what will happen when they discontinue - which calls into question the validity of the official treatment plan they are …

How does the critical reading help you tell ad copy apart from an honest and enthusiastic recommendation? Not a rhetorical question.

The idea that Tesla would win the robotaxi race by not needing LiDAR died sometime between when LiDAR cost $100k and when it cost $1k. Now it’s just Elon being intransigent.

You can cut it more finely but I think you still run into the same issue. The best candidates to run an agency that regulates a particular industry are going to highly overlap with…

If the government wasn’t allowed to hire from private, it would be starved of talent. That would be a great scheme to hobble any agency you don’t like.

I think I’m bad at categorizing different strains of dualism because I tend to dismiss the whole enterprise without giving a fair amount of consideration. I figure brains are amazi…

As a materialist, I have to give this one to the dualists. The argument that AI isn’t intelligent because it’s just a bunch of numbers makes more sense coming from that perspective…

I almost feel like his videos are anti-clickbait. On my YouTube recommendations page, often his title and cover image are the least eye-grabbing, but the actual video is always sat…

They ask on the admission form if you are a legacy, and legacy applicants answer yes because it helps them get in. So that’s very easy to track. Parents who get their kids admitted…

My understanding is that tech was politically weaker back then. Although there were some big tech companies, they didn’t have as much of a lobbying operation.

Hopefully there are multiple organizations with different funding sources who aren’t beholden to each other, so they can fill whatever gaps in coverage they see. That would be a be…

Does UBI pay enough to support a ski bum lifestyle? That’s probably what I would do if I had guaranteed income with no job.

Individual school administrators would have to face off against helicopter parents if they tried to implement this policy. The state government is protecting them through air super…

I was gonna say, iPhones are way more reliable than German cars, it’s not a fair comparison! Then I thought about their respective depreciation curves…
