Except Apple have been shaving full pounds and more off of their laptops, don't know where you got the wrong idea that it's only 30 grams.

And yes, knocking a 5-pound laptop down to 3 pounds is quite noticeable and a huge boon.

Whoosh. They're not being "racist". They're simply applying a "character test".

Apparently for all the economic-related punditry, HN still doesn't understand economics. Jim, you do realize that "inflated" (relative term of course, since Uber is more expensive than taxis in some markets) is still part of the supply-demand curve, no? You absolutely have both. Go read a textbook before you chime in next time, k?

It's more of a poor (dare I say "trailer trash") southern thing in my experience.

Nah, you just need some cool makeup: https://cvdazzle.com/

You're right, but if "acting responsibly" was at all a prerequisite, they wouldn't even have their precious guns.

Perhaps under some misguided assumption that it benefits business?

Why? Asses can be beautiful. And it doesn't change the fact that NZ is about as remote as you can get.

Well, there is a big difference, but not the one you've managed to come up with. Vagrant is normally used to run full VMs (although you can use it to drive Docker), so while you might run App, Supporting App, PHP, Apache, Node, Nginx, MySQL, Mongodb, and Redis all as separate containers, you'd probably put them all on the same VM. Your comment almost makes it sound like you don't understand Vagrant or VMs.

You run your containers on a hypothetical platform that hasn't been released?

Uh, wrong.

I switched to Lyft a while ago but I never would cash tip my Ubers and I had a full 5 stars.

> I was implying that there was another path that would have resulted in an even more positive result

Ah, the old "I intended the exact opposite of what I said" ploy.

That's incorrect. In your original comment you referred to "a positive net result", which the utilitarian will always prefer by definition. Perhaps you are confusing utility with efficiency?

Sounds like the way non-tech companies operate. Pretty damning that IBM can't understand why leadership of a tech company should have a tech background.

Don't forget their big "blockchain" push (via TV commercials).

While you raise a valid issue, you don't know that IBM didn't also have trouble parsing large cookies. And even if they didn't, your information doesn't exactly excuse IBM for using over 8 kilobytes of data to send cookies back and forth.

I was offered a PIP once. It was purportedly due to poor performance, but it was clear that I was being gotten rid of for other, non performance-related reasons. The actual goal I was meant to meet was unachievable because I was simultaneously throttled in the amount of work I was allowed to take on at once.

The whole place was a clown show that I was unhappy at anyway, so while I entertained the idea of taking them to court, when I realized the PIP is basically an elaborate attempt to defend against wrongful termination cases I ultimately just found a much better job.

> Well, the employee is depriving the employer of something as well.

Given that the employer is trying to get rid of the employee, this assertion seems questionable.

It is if you're a utilitarian.

Good effort, buddy, but no.

Well then. Good to see you're doing the work you're qualified for.

Uh, the whole thing? Do you need a link to the documentation or something?

Not sure why you are being downvoted since Twitter has a well-established history of pulling the rug out from under people who depend on it.

I know for a fact that you've done worse in your own life. Spare us the moral posturing, please.

Um, do you know what a deli slicer is? Hint: they don't typically have handles.

Seriously, go back and read the original post. It's all about how hard it is to cut various vegetables. Not the stuff you mentioned. Think you better calibrate, son.

To your point about high end and low end pieces of beef, steaks are usually priced by the tenderness of the beef, which tends to have an inverse relationship with flavor (of course, there are other factors as well, and some people just prefer a mild-tasting cut).

As you might have inferred by now, good burgers are typically made from cuts like brisket and chuck that are tough, inexpensive, and high in flavor. Using high-end steaks for burgers is simply a waste, doubly so for well-marbled ones.

The fat percentage would not be difficult. Any good butcher would probably be happy to help you set such a comparison up. That is, if they don't warn you that it's a waste to use that T-bone on a burger first.

In N Out uses factory-farmed, garbage-fed, antibiotic-saturated beef from cows who have no room to move and stand in their own shit all day. I can tell the difference between that kind of stuff and a good healthy grass-fed cow by smell alone. Seriously, I wonder if you have ever even had healthy beef.

Of all the things you could have taken from my comment, you came up with that? You seriously thought I was advocating having a human run laps around the machine with a deli slicer?

Clearly, the observation was, just make the cutting mechanism work like a deli slicer, as opposed to a knife or whatever else the OP had in mind.

No, it's really not. Fast food workers clean themselves. They tend to notice when they develop gangrene. Machines, not so much. That stray piece of lettuce that got caught in a machine joint for 6 weeks? Hope you enjoy E. Coli.
