Because pizza is so cheap, you can undercut on price by not using Uber Eats. With other foods, they can't be delivered more cheaply than the Uber Eats price, so the only option for consumers is to pay the 30% markup + tip or not eat at

No one is saying that it's impossible to develop curl for Windows. Needing to either work around a non-standard libc, require the user install a standard compliant libc, or ship your own libc with custom methods like FreeX is strange a

Selling on door dash or uber eats destroys the pizza business model. Pizza is one of the only foods that is profitable to deliver. A pizza is extremely cheap to produce with markup that can be in excess of 1000%. This allows the pizza maker

I think you're committing a yet-unnamed logical fallacy that I see a lot on HN. I'm going to call this "the logical fallacy of uncharitable interpretation." The basic premise is this: Take an assertion like X implies Y.

2011 was just after the GFC where MBS caused a global financial meltdown. It's unsurprising that non-government MBS were having a hard time finding a market. And ultimately, government guarantees for MBS is just a symptom of a larger p

At least in my understanding, some of the weirdness of this specific problem comes from the fact that the mathematicians "know" the function. The AoC doesn't necessarily let you know what the function is, it just lets you kno

Most industrially baked breads contain sugar. Typically 2-5g per slice. I haven't really had industrial bread without sugar, but it doesn't surprise me that the sugar is required for taste. "Good" bread has long ferment

What does it mean to differ by finitely many places when C is infinite? Imaging C is all the rational numbers from 0 to 1. The size of each equivalence class would be exactly 1. There must be some other condition on C for this to work.

You’re conflating the money supply with money. The inherent value of the money supply is constant. That’s why you could halve it uniformly without impacting much. But that also necessarily means that each unit of currency does in fact have
