Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers

That’s a weird takeaway from this.

Govt: we believe that companies that employ people in our community should have to pay the established legal minimum wage.

Companies: we are only able to profit by paying non livable wages.

Lemmy user: yes company, keep exploiting your workers and breaking the laws all businesses have to follow, I mean they can’t really catch you.

What's the reason for high refresh rates?

This is really interesting. I work in a casino and I’d say 90% of slot machines are now just video based.

I’ve noticed when looking a far distance across the gaming floor, slot machines that are physically far away from me appear to have “choppy” reel movement when they spin. As I get closer, they smooth out. It’s really jarring at first and it made me think of video games where things in the far distance are rendered with low resolution models that are replaced with higher resolution models as you get closer.

Maybe there is something to how we view refresh rates from distance that our eyes just lose frames or something.
