Deliverers cannot set their pay. It's a take it or leave it model where DoorDash basically says, "we have a delivery we will pay x".

Add to this that DoorDash, Uber, etc have given authority over wages and performance evaluations directly to the customers. (Through the practice of delegating tips and ratings to the end user.) There's a clear imbalance of power there

Not only that, but the device could have ten minutes rolling before that in a circular buffer. But the problem here isn't one that we can solve with tech alone. It's cultural to the institution of policing.

I've worked in the industry for years and I'm just now starting to see accessibility become mainstream for difficulty. Developers are coming around to the idea that games should be "difficult for you" to the degree you a

Just a reminder, that tool likely underestimates the risk of covid. Seroprevalence data shows undercounting of up to 24 times (rather than the 5 or 10 this tool shows.) Also, this tool assumes you are only seeing people from your county.

If one event is cancelled because they saw this posting, then lives were potentially saved. If this is a good reminder for us to talk to our loved ones to cancel their events, then it almost certainly saved lives. It's a low cost way t

No, most people don't want to build their engines because building engines is a different thing than making a game. People want to build just the part that's unique to their game. Very, very game devs care about how things are dra

Go visit http://itch.io/ and search around for a bit. There are thousands of games to explore here made by people from all walks of life. Most of these will see zero to minor financial success, but people are still making

In this case, the meaning is orthogonal -- it's about accessibility to the tools, and the accessibility of the tools. That could be centralized or decentralized, as long as the tools are easy and available to the masses.

Democratic has a well established meaning of 'being available or appealing to a broad group of people'. Democratization is the process of making something democratic and my use (and the wider use of the term to mean 'make acc

There are vegan products that mimic the flavors and textures of cheese. And yes, there are also pizzas without cheese.

The future of Game Development is about democratization of tools. With tools like Unity, GameMaker, and RPG maker it has become easier and easier for anyone to make a game. While Rust might be a good foundation for some performance critical

I agree with you, but there are plenty of poorly educated gamers who think that 'developed in Unity' or Gamemaker means the game can't possibly be good. (All evidence to the contrary.)

Individual action can be important. Regulation is also a valuable tool. When we discover behaviors that are dangerous, regulating them is absolutely reasonable and moral.

Yeah. I strongly support things like removing minimum parking requirements and taxing based on land rather than the improvement, incentivizing building housing rather than flat parking lots.

Why would iron be wasted? Just like because moving materials around inevitably spills a small amount?

I disagree. In both relative and absolute terms an increase of tens or hundreds of billions of meaningful. That could provide free education, health care, subsidized housing, improved transit, high speed rail, or any number of tangible and

The sooner we can decommodify housing, the better. Eliminating speculation in the housing market and instead pricing things by how effectively they house people would go a long way for a lot of families.

A wealth tax would raise tens or hundreds of billions a year, which is a pretty meaningful amount of revenue...

I'm not sure. I do know that you could, for instance, have your gold sent to a scammer with little to no recourse. It may be possible that this bug still exists because it's one of those "bugs that is also a feature".

Interpreting text for commands has an interest parallel to a major World of Warcraft bug. It turns out that you could run arbitrary lua code in your chat terminal by using the "/run ..." command. Enterprising thieves figured

You can think of them as similar to neanderthals, from what I understand -- a separate species of humans that lived concurrently with modern humans. (Though, denisovans lived in an entirely different region.)

Related, I'm curious how long y'all feel it will take for you to be comfortable with what was historically normal. For example, riding a crowded bus or train, going to a concert, or even going shopping at a big box store seem tota

They've been killed for religious reasons related to what was perceived as sinning. Blasphemy has many definitions, and I believe that what you've suggested is a distinction without a difference.

The Valve Index appears to be a very good piece of hardware, from everything I've read.
