They don't, and you're right it wouldn't make sense.

Maybe so, but it's still important to callenge okeuro49's claims. Extremist takes like that give off an air of believability despite being unsubstantiated. Relying solely on the common sense of the readership leads to situations w

The context also needs to be noted. This was part of the social media storm that whipped up a wave of right-wing, racist hatred and violence in the wake of the Southport riots. No such waves of violence have sprung out of trans activism.

There are many states where the minimum wage for restaurant workers is $2.13: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped

In most states, the minimum wage for tipped workers is significantly less than the minimum wage otherwise: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/minimum-wage/tipped If we assume that the restaurant owne

Does that make it not a subsidy? We say that the US govt subsidises oil companies even though petrol prices would be higher if they stopped.

I'm guessing they mean that without tipping, more of the restaurant's revenue would go towards wages.

One of the linked studies has the following (emphasis mine): > Server race has also been shown to affect tipping. Black cab drivers receive smaller tips on average than do white cab drivers ... This is true regardless of the race of the

That's certainly true. But this is Cory Doctorow who invented the concept of enshittification. I'd be super surprised if he thought anti-competetive behaviour is fine as long as you get away with it. My take is that he's sayi

Arguably it's unacceptable either way, but only one of those ways can be evidenced in court.

Best-documented in history is a bit of a leap. There are the gospels (only three of which are contemporaneous) and a smattering of later writing. There probably was a religious teacher named Jesus that was crucified. But we're nowhere

The algorithm that OP describes is more commonly known as 2-opt [0]. The heuristic used in this case is referred to as LKH which I assume means the Lin-Kernighan Heuristic [1]. The latter is sort of a meta generalisation of the former. [0]

My understanding is that John is a less than reliable historical source, having been written well after the others and with a totally different style and content. There's a lot of emphasis on the divinity of Christ along with other the

I'm not saying it's a good thing necessarily. I was replying to your statement "you're already poorer". I am probably better off for immigration. Some people are poorer, but it's a small effect and I suspect th

I didn't get the impression that bjackman was confusing England with the UK. They are two distinct statements, one applying to England and the other to the UK. Appeal to LLM isn't going to convince me otherwise!

Immigration is thought to have a small negative impact on the wages of low skilled workers, but is probably financially beneficial for those further up the payscale. > Post-Brexit, EU immigration was only replaced by non-EU immigration Y

Yes, London house prices would likely be lower. But we'd also be poorer on average, since immigrants are a net benefit to the economy. Moreover the combination of a starkly aging population with higher costs of labour would cause a rea

Well, house prices outside of London have increased roughly in line with inflation over the last couple of decades. ONS data states that the average house price outside of London and the South East rose from £134k in 2005 to £192k in 2019
