Oh what ever shall we do? The cash registers are bursting with cash due to the influx of visitors... but they're not tipping the servers.

I see absolutely no way that employers could make the situation fairer for servers, even if it were only for the duration of the event.

Gosh, if only there were some way!

I can't believe you're really taking his comment seriously?! He made a post about Santa's reindeer and sleigh vaporizing due to the speed of travel. It's supposed to be absurd, not a science lesson.

It's a little ironic that you say NDT is annoying for his joke while complaining that his math (from a joke) does'nt make sense.

Shed a tear for Hitler. He too was a human who was assassinated by the far right.

There are plenty of alternatives to alcohol that can be used to get high. People just lack imagination.

I'm sure poutine tastes great but this picture just looks like a bowl of human teeth to me.

Do the words "disastrous" and "failing miserably" really make you think what they did would be a good fit for your company?

To each their own, I suppose?

Except he/she aren't words used to describe a person's body, so what is your point?

So do people in the US rank the size of your fires in "alarms"??! Like a bin fire is a 1 alarm fire? But a house fire is a 3 alarm?

Do you say, "quick, evacuate the neighbourhood, there's an 8 alarm fire heading our way"

I've never heard of this before today.

What do you mean "companies steal and sell them". How? Like they are hacking into the email accounts of streamers and stealing and selling the key before the streamer can activate it?

Or they are stealing them from the developer directly somehow?

I don't see how this would be feasible...

More likely that the streamer or reviewer receiving the free key is selling it on these marketplaces.

The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.

What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.

How is that helpful?

A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)

I'm also not sure. Apparently their loading screen is going to be slower than a game's loading screen someday.

I dont know what is means for a person to have a "loading screen"? Maybe OP isn't a person at all?

It really depends on the kind of meeting or why the meeting is being held.

I guess it's fine if you are just being talked at for the entire meeting and there is no expectation for your input (but at that point maybe this meeting could've just been an email?).

So all this does is create a black market for tech. People with the knowledge of how to set up this technology will provide it as a service for those who don't.

It's the same as trying to outright ban drugs. Those who can provide for those who cannot (for a fee).

Well, for a start, a streamer sharing the code with a friend and them selling it is obviously not the marketplace stealing anything.

So do we have any proof that these sellers are scamming developers by posing as streamers or is this something that you are asserting?

If I open a tab for gmail and leave it for 24 hours, is that 24 hours worth of 'activity'?

Also, kids today still know what a phone is and what its used for. It doesn't take a genius to realise that phone boxes aren't needed anymore now that everyone has a phone in their pocket.

And where do you draw the line?

For example, do you think CSAM should be legal as long as those in the material are fictional?

If you think that is not okay, would it make a difference to you if those in the material were not "realistic" (but still underage)?

I don't think people are suggesting it should be illegal because they personally don't want to see it, but rather because they believe that it is damaging to society as a whole.

So introduce a minimum wage.

I mean, rather than a spanking, maybe you could just make a law to make employers pay a livable wage?

If they can't because they would go out of business, then they should go out of business.

Why are you saying "In theory"? and "Supposed to"? Wouldn't not making up the difference in these cases be illegal?

What I'm hearing is that if everyone decided not to tip, then servers would(should) still walk away with minimum wage. So servers aren't incentivised to change the system because sometimes they take away more than minimum?

Except the same is true for other tipping cultures, minimum living wage is garunteed, tips are extra.

Seems like the US has the same outcome in terms of meeting minimum wage but with many complications and without the legal protections for the employee.
