There was a complaint about feeling guilt-tripped into tipping to make up for the poor wages. That problem doesn't really improve much at all under the "now my delivery person doesn't work for an app." The tipping norms

You realize restaurants that directly employ the delivery persons have most of the same pitfalls as tipping using an app service right? If you don’t know how to understand how restaurant service persons are typically paid, it is better to n

Really not sure what your point is ethically or otherwise. Are you saying you should not tip? Should you not tip a person for good service? Really hard to fathom a reason you need to use the service in the first place. I suppose one could

Typically food delivery service you tip because the delivery person did their best in the conditions to be quick, not leave the restaurant for extra unpaid waiting, not leave the restaurant emptyhanded, handle the poorly packed food, mainta

Nothing would be surprising about this. Pretty standard practice since food delivery was established. Though if an algorithm is washing out any benefit of tips, I would not be surprised if said drivers might be helping themselves more to co

The automated equipment is still so expensive hardly any of it is owned or used by family farms. The thing was that 10+ years ago the automated equipment was owned by very large ventures (large cooperatives and bigger) that shared or sold s

Without having yet read the paper, is there an explanation given for the exclusion? Like perhaps sole proprietorships don’t scale as large and are not typically the focus of government incentives (funding, sweetheart tax deals, immigration,

“Narrow view” seems unqualified without more about how the studies are actually excluding other entrepreneurs from the findings. Point of the article seems obvious just from the headline, and then there is the body of supporting text too th

I find utility is most beautiful. Various other interpretations of aesthetics in mathematics seem misplaced if the result is that none or a very limited number of verifiably consistent applications exist for some new construct/extensio

I will interpret the label of modern to mean that current science is somewhat directionless on many fronts overwhelmed with an explosion of conflicting theoretical findings that are difficult to verify or disprove or categorize their utili

I have seen plenty of CS grads that can barely code or put together a real solution to a problem. There is no guarantee just because someone was able to muddle through a CS degree that they can do these things. In almost all cases, you real

I think you might be jumping to conclusions. The usage of disingenuous in debates also means dishonest (see my above comment). What I communicated was that disingenuous usage in a debate is without controversy. No one reacts by flagging&#x2

The question was not posed naturally. They asked in an offended fashion if I was accusing them of dishonesty (well yes, selectively responding to and ignoring presented facts says “those are inconvenient truths I’d rather avoid discussing b

I feel like that is a trap criticism since the poster became suddenly offended by my highly civil, PC, and blunted expression (disingenuousness) that their ideas and treatment of the data/facts was being criticized (to the point of mis

Please elaborate where there was ever a personal attack. Poster is willing debating the finer points of the topic. Debate is routinely attacking ideas; that is normal. Pointing out the trend of routine holes, inconsistencies, selectively ad

I believe your interpretation is being disingenuous with the data and everything known about how H1Bs are utilized. You seem to gloss over the fact that tech jobs don’t actually require everyone to hold a specific CS degree (in reality and

I would like to add an additional layer of economic nuance here, beyond Econ 101 and BA Econ. While it is true that an economy is not necessarily a fixed “lump of labour”, you also need to take into consideration many more factors before ma

The truth might be worse than you think. Not only has QA been a popular H1B approved requisition, but so are positions that are simply listed as “Analyst” and “Business Analyst” and so on, as well as the many many variations on “Analyst” (Q

And again, that’s using a position of authority to dismiss new evidence on speculation rather than facts or science. Good science exercises restraint in quickness to judge new evidence, allowing time for discovery to work as needed. The opi

I'm curious to hear what this guy thinks of the esoteric math in higher level economics... how base assumptions there are built and extrapolated on to ultimately guide economic policy. He would have a field day with the assumptions use
