Judgement is required. Learning that Nazis aren't cartoon villains does negate the necessity of choosing to highlight they were horrifically bad in the historical timeline. Simply judging is indeed insufficient for learning but it is a

The point you appear to be making is the same point made at every step in computing history. It's an old and predictable refrain going back to assembly programmers complaining about the laziness and bloat of C development. Yes, bad sof

Canada (for example) got it through proximity to US, which did have a racial caste system. (Not to say that Canada doesn't have its own mixed history with racial issues, but that's another conversation.)

I did not forget that. Our tax code and wage laws have tiers for tip wage workers and non-tip wage workers. It was presumed that if you remove that carve out by abolishing tips, the part you mention would follow. As for wage theft by employ

Japanese Americans were typically assigned to Europe and Africa because of fears they would sabotage the Pacific war effort. Black Americans were commonly assigned as cooks, orderlies, and other roles outside the normal military structure.

No, they were intended for non-white folks back in the day and were 100% considered long term. Tipping culture was a direct response of the 13th Amendment. Over time, especially when communities were racially exclusionary, that cheap labor

The tipping system exists so an employer can pay next to nothing and pretend the system is meritocratic. It was an end run around the fact that you couldn't underpay slaves anymore in the US. The solution is to abolish tips in the tax

by ttfkam 3y ago
Tipping only exists because of racism. (Look it up). It was a way for employers to pay far less than a livable wage—if any wage at all—and get away with it after the 13th Amendment was passed. Then it became institutionalized where anyone i

Unnecessary complexity? Rube Goldberg? Folks would plug their car in to the charger when they get home just like EV owners do now. The CCS-2 connector is a bidirectional power connector.

I guess you're single with only one car. Many of us have cars that remain at home much of the day. Even more so since I started taking public transit and bicycle to work.

Can't help but feel like this is the wrong direction. Electric cars have larger batteries, are only used ~2% of the day on average—most of the time just parked somewhere—and are just a CCS-2 plug away from being a superior alternative

The CVE list would dispute that assertion. There's a reason Microsoft is rewriting parts of the Windows kernel in Rust, and it isn't trendiness or because the kernel is at a trivial level of engineering. It's the same reason
