There is always a cutoff cost. For example, it cannot support Ukraine to the point that it’s own territorial security is compromised.

Cooks wages are integrated into the price of the food, and the waiter’s are not. But some times cooks are tipped out too.

I was saying that with the assumption that the US winds down support for Ukraine and is not seen as a trusted partner for European security.

There is an unfortunate reality that there is a tipping point. At some point, Europe will need to cede Ukraine and stock up for itself to defend the next Russian incursion.

Except the food cost is only a small part of what we are paying for at a restaurant. What we are paying for is the worker’s time and skills. We could, mostly, eat the same ingredients at home for much cheaper.

A lot of the other costs are small and make profit in scale.

I know people don’t like the technical interview, but for me, it’s not about knowledge but process. I don’t care that you don’t have something memorized or don’t know the syntax without your linter. I want to see how you figure it out. I was interviewing for a junior web developer, and I gave them the task of fizzbuzz. I told them it was OK to use Google or any other tool. The interview ended with the prospect in tears. I felt very bad and told them they could finish it outside the interview and send it to us (they didn’t). Somehow, they were still on our shortlist.

NGL, that is how I first learned of the song, and I do love it.

In an Islamist government, making a nation, who is openly hostile to their Muslim population, a major trader partner may not play well.

It is entertaining to consider that modems were just computers screaming at each other in shrill voices.

Correct, capitalism is just a system intended to prioritize capital using markets. Science is a methodology of determining truth. As a method, it is tautologically “perfect” because all failures are to be accounted for by the very methodology. The choices that capitalist systems make and socialist systems would make may be different, but the decision-making process itself could be run scientifically.

Define healthy. Nicotine is a stimulant and does improve mental acuity.

The question is, with what currency? The Cuban dollar is not really worth anything outside Cuba, so they can only rely on exports to fund currency needed to buy imports.

Quantum computing got us the Donald Biden superposition

Remember: the presidency ages people. How long would he be president?

Oddly, this is something that didn’t seem to happen to Trump. We all know why of course, he didn’t actually do the job of being President.

As funny as it is, I think really that is where it can stop. Someone abhorrent said they support someone, that person said, no. No means no.

TBF all those sci-fi transparent displays would be terrible to use

I also recreated your adventure and could not find the proper answer. Just awful.
