Delivering food has a cost and is a service. Before things like doordash you could only get delivery from select locations, by creating a network of drivers you can now get delivery from most restaurants.

Does doordash exploit people and restaurants, yes. However, providing a delivery service is not rent seeking there is something being offered.

Doordash isn't rent extraction though, and is a system that benefits from a singular platform. That doesn't mean Doordash is the best implementation of that service, but the example isn't good.

If Europe really moves away from big tech and new trade deals are made around the US, then those gains will be short lived.

Yeah, taxing retirement pay to pay for retirement Healthcare sounds a little circuitous.

Not good that they didn't identify a way to replace that funding when changing things (as is the republican way), but can understand the argument of not taxing Social Security.

He's hurting everyone's wallets, there are only so many diversions and Lies you can get away with while peoples wallets are empty.

Whats amazing is he took over after Biden had more or less fixed inflation (yeah, wages were still catching up, but it was more or less solved). He was handed a golden opportunity to push his policies if he just laid off the tarrifs. Instead he's taken a fairly solid and growing economy and decimated it in a year.

The only thing I can hope for is that some people start to recognize republicans are terrible at managing the economy.

Just for awareness, Google Translate is based on LLMs. Translation is actually why LLMs were initially made and you won't find a better method for translation (besides hiring a translator). The thing you're looking for is an LLM only for translation.

The RNG in the game can be a bit rough. Sometimes you'll know the answer to a puzzle, but you'll have to wait a couple rounds before you can actually solve it.

To be honest Phil's just done a bad job at the helm or maybe wasn't empowered to do the things that needed to be done. Everything since the xbox360 has been weak from Microsoft, although Sony has really only held on due to some banger first party games.

Nintendo continues to understand that you need to offer something different in the console space to remain relevant. While the steam deck (and other handheld) are coming for the switch, they at least offer something unique.

I stopped going to Five Guys and Shake Shack cause getting a meal for two people is $30-35 (if you get fries).

Its just too much money for fast food.

Edit: And that's getting the cheaper single patty burgers.

Luckily it's been staying relatively flat the past few years. Based on the prepandemic trend line, we would reach current rates in another four years, so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Yeah, it's obvious that the most medaling people will be in the sports with multiple chances to win. It doesn't mean it's not impressive, but when it's basically the same exact sport at different lengths it does give more opportunity.

It's talking about how to track empty directories. Maybe I'm just lazy, but I just throw a readme or something in an empty directory if I want it tracked.
