It’s really not that dangerous. If you’re a safe rider, riding in relatively safe environments, cycling is about as dangerous as jogging. And yet you never see anyone jogging with a helmet. There was a recent video about this that summarize

That doesn’t sound like 50 countries at all. That sounds like one incredibly disfuncional country.

Ah, so close. Old people aren’t bad drivers because of “driving skills”. They’re bad drivers because driving is incredibly dangerous and they’re old. What we need to do to prevent this is eliminate driving as a lifestyle. Treat it as the da

Ok friend, when you come up with a business model to support OSS that doesn’t get destroyed by the internet giants let me know.

This goes back to my original point. You’re living in fantasy land. In reality, that’s not how it works. If to use Redis your company had to assign someone to do maintenance work then you just wouldn’t be allowed to use Redis. And yes, you

If Amazon had to do enough maintenance work they’d just fork it and do it on their own proprietary version. They have literally done that. This goes back to my original point. You’re living in fantasy land.

Gotcha, I see what you’re saying. I didn’t know about Grafana. That sounds awesome. Maybe you’re right about this being an antitrust issue though.

Look, in principle I don’t disagree with anything you said. However, I think OSS is a net positive to the industry, and would like to see it remain that way. The classic way to monetize OSS has been to provide hosting and support for a pric

I like copyleft licenses! But they don’t solve the problem of cloud providers pulling the rug out from under companies based on open source companies.

The point is that if there was no business behind projects like Redis and ElasticSearch you wouldn’t be using them either. You’d be using some random Microsoft or Oracle product. I’m guessing you don’t want that either, so come up with a wa

You wouldn’t use the ten commandments as your only moral guide. The landscape has changed. Google, Amazon, and microsoft are actively trying to destroy open source business models. Don’t let the leopards eat your face because you were too a

You’re living in theoretical fantasy land. Yeah, it’d be great if everything was open source and everyone was happy. But that’s not really what happens. Redis and Elastic are popular exactly because there’s entire companies behind it consta

Ok, so bring it up with the NLRB.

I think employees know about it, but don’t say anything because it marks you as a low performer, and it’s very easy to fire low performers. At the same time, employees know that tips are incredibly lucrative for them, and would rather have

by amrocha 1y ago
If workers make less than minimum wage from tips, then the employer needs to make up that difference.
286.
by amrocha 1y ago
Workers are already paid fair wages. The employer needs to ensure workers make minimum wage at minimum.

by amrocha 1y ago
Restaurant workers already get a fair wage. At minimum they make minimum wage. If you don’t think the minimum wage is fair then fight to raise it. Otherwise you’re gonna have to start tipping at a lot more places than just restaurants.

Nobody gets paid less than minimum wage. The employer needs to make up that difference if tips don’t cover it.

I fed an LLM the record of a chat between me and a friend, and asked it to summarize the times that we met in the past 3 months. Every time it gave me different results, and not once did it actually get it all right. LLMs are horrible for s

You can’t reason someone out of a viewpoint they didn’t reason themselves into. There’s no economic argument to be had with someone that says monetary policy is theft.

Doesn’t matter, a sovereign government doesn’t need bonds to fund its spending.
292.
by amrocha 2y ago
Yes, this is the entire point. Government needs to spend productively to grow the economy. Any spending can be inflationary if it’s perceived to not be productive. How that spending is financed is a footnote. Domestic debt works, foreign de

Why are you assuming the worst version of my argument to argue against?
294.
by amrocha 2y ago
You’re wrong, empirical evidence shows that you’re wrong, but you don’t seem like you’re engaging in good faith so I’m not going to do your homework for you either.

The author wrote thousands of words based on a fundamental misconception. The US is not Greece. Greece doesn’t control its own currency. The US does. It can always meet its debt requirements. It will never default. Inflation is not a concer

Right, they still exist, but now they’re budget sports cars, which isn’t really what I was talking about. A GR86 is cheaper than most SUVs. A miata is even cheaper. The civic type r is neat, but that’s not a sports car. That’s a performance

An NSX stands out, but anyone who doesn’t know what it is would just think it’s a ferrari. GTRs absolutely do not stand out. They look like your your average sedan.

That doesn’t explain why japanese manufacturers who used to make sports cars in the 90s don’t anymore. It’s a mixture of enthusiasm and conspicuous consumption. Most enthusiasts love 90s japanese cars, but the average person sees an old maz

Sounds like we mostly agree. You don’t have to like or agree with anyone’s personal choices, but you do have to respect them and treat them fairly. Especially if you’re an interviewer.
