I don't want to think about tipping, period, I want to pay a fair price and if I can't afford it, rice and beans it is tonight. Make that burger $15, not $10 + tax + arbitrary tip, plus a $1 x number of smiles. It's disgustin

Why are you being so friendly? Perhaps En isn't their native language. Although, taken out of context, that sentence could be interpreted as "I got myself in trouble for doing this". :)

Throttled motors on ebikes are terribly unsafe, compared to pedal assist central motors. Feels like an overgeneralization. I have a perfectly slow Ride1Up Roadster V3. It's a PA bike with a throttle, but it's not a hot rod. Max

I come for the comments, not for the news. Signal to noise is lower these days (AI stuff), but I aggressively filter out subjects I have zero interest in. >simple solution of simply ignoring If you mean ignoring manually, that's not

They do add some value, but not those inside the terminal, except the nice people behind the check in counter and the curb luggage assistants (captains?) that will take your luggage, give you the boarding pass, and off you go? Golden. It se

Plus you can use OAI monthly subscription with pi/omp etc, but it's tokens with Anthropic. I need a hard $ cap, I can wait for the usage window to reset. Going to get flip back to Codex, and then back again to CC* when it leapfrog

It’s a US problem and I say it as an USAnian. Go to Paris, Berlin, London, McD feels like a fine establishment. I mean, it’s anecdotal, but that’s what I saw.

If there are human knob turners, they can’t not be lurking here. If they read the room, dial down the knobs.

So why won't they just relocate us en masse to Manila so that a customer from an English locale can speak to someone speaking proper English while I enjoy local pancit, lumpia and stinky tuyo during lunch?

There is some fear mongering, because - China. I wouldn't want to send even the dumbest of my half assed of my ideas to their servers... but then, could be a vector for some shenanigans... but, then as if we have a reasons to trust eit

That's true, but it's as if the crow flies straight to the back as opposed to figuring out where they decided to put Rx bars this week. It takes me longer to park then walk in/out of the store. Half for me, half for the pooch

The users are the problem. It's not the same as gun control, but smells a bit similar. Let's revisit this when Apple ships? I wonder what the sentiment will be then. In the meantime, I use the Metas on dog walks, take fast pics of

I hope that Costco continues to sell its $4.99 rotisserie chicken at loss of untold millions USD a year, I couldn't make it as good at 3x the price. I guess they make it up in volume :) Some things are still ok, but we are heading towa

I lived there (Odessa, mostly), till late teens. The QoL highly depended on who you knew, how to steal and how to bribe and barter, on all levels of society. You could live very well, relative to the gen pop, if you possessed these qualitie

Hi Matteo. I can't quite collect myself on what to say. I'm here to listen and converse with like minded individuals and perhaps make some pen pals. I use Wikipedia for what's displayed on the tin. The foundation is more fict

That's two AI smells. AI likes to say vacuous punchy statements like "the final takeaway" or "here's the rub". Then contrastive parallelism "connections, not CPU". Contrastive parallelism should scar

if gov were to remove these artificial (B)EV tax benefits then we would really see what would people choose, but gov is completely influecing the market, so people just do what is currently beneficial for their wallet, it is for sure not d

I am not judging "Wikimedia Foundation", I am "judging" the product. Why is it insane? (btw, strong word you chose). It looks the same as it did on my Blackberry 20 or so years ago. It has less utility to me now than it

Hi there, thanks. I scanned through them. Bots, scraping, was there something that's interesting, no sarcasm?

I drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5. It charges fast(er), rides nicer than a Tesla and carries no stigma. However, Tesla is the only manufacturer (in US) that has FSD. Having experienced FSD in a relative's Tesla S last week, I now know what I a

Hey, I am the "offender". I upvoted your comment. I don't know the answer, HN is kind of the last bastion of sanity for me as a Usenet refugee and it's as close to that that I have found. I would also be upset if the fee

Well, that’s what the output looks like. Like a barebones phpMyAdmin query result from 20 plus years ago.

That’s the thing, the $10 is not my threshold, it’s the value of what I get for the $10. I don’t need to eat it all today. I’d rather spend $5 but I don’t want to waste $5 on filler. I could go by a local 7/11 and put myself in a comma

Yes, so? If you are here you could clone that thing in a weekend, no? You’d be the sole Chairman, CEO, and Supreme Leader for life. Wikipedia needs to be eminent domained, but we can’t agree on things while the US is headed by you know wh

I don’t “understand it” because it’s an antagonist relationship, us vs them. How’s that solved anything ever without violence? I don’t know what the solution is, we’ve tried a few. Perhaps there are none. Do you want to keep trying for your

They have enough employees to need a union and a board? It's a CRUD PHP site that I could run from a VPS (joking ofc, but not that much off). I've never worked in an industry where unionization was a thing, but my general understa
