Our org does 5 minutes past for a 30-minute window, and 10 minutes past for an hour or longer. Works great once everyone gets it. Can be confusing for new hires.

SF / Bay Area is best for a few specialties such as Super burritos, specialty Thai, & shawarmas. But LA is far better for quality and taste, along with a broader range of options.

> A burrito that cost $5.50 in 2014 is now $13.95.

They haven't been that cheap since the 90s. 10 years ago, they were around $10.

You do realise that the article has actual photos of the menus from different years, right?

What's your hypothesis here? They photoshopped the images?


No hypothesis, I didn't read far enough.

They're looking at actual 2014 menus.

But yeah, it's likely an outlier in 2014 to be that cheap. More like $7-8.

Locally (not in SV), one can still find "cheap" burritos at Mexican joints. By cheap I mean $11-12.

In one local restaurant, they bumped up burritos from about $11 to $18 within a year. I stopped going there.


Read TFA. They got the price from the menu they were comparing to in 2014.

Ah, thanks! Looking through the Yelp pics, the price rose to $8 in 2016 and $9.50 by 2019. I expect Mission growth and rent increases have been a big factor.

It seems backed up by a photo of it in 2014? It's unreadable at this scale, but I assume they have a better quality version they got the price from.

I think I agree that this was 100% bad AI generated.

The 100TB Build (~$2,500) is full of errors. The math doesn't add up as presented, the HDD prices are for used drives, and it confuses RAIDZ1 and mirroring together as "five drives as two mirrored pairs + spare = ~80TB usable."


> I’m very curious how Tim Sweeney will react to this.

“Epic has indicated that it opposes the service fees that Google announced it may implement in the future and that Epic will challenge these fees if they come into effect.”

I’m sure they’ll oppose it but I’m not sure what footing they’d have if this doesn’t fall under googles collusion case, seeing as it’s for everyone in the same boat.


If the font doesn't support ligatures, it might as well be generated by AI.


Curious - is your concern that the post is 100% AI generated? Or do you object that AI may have been used to clean up the post?


AI writing often leads to word inflation, so getting the original more concise one is helpful IMO. Hiding it is the annoying part, marking that you use AI to help you and having a 'source code' version I think would go over much better. If a person is deceptive and dishonest about something so obvious, how can you trust other things they say?

It also leads to slop spam content. Writing it yourself is a form of anti-spam. I think tools like grammarly help strike a balance between 'AI slop machine' and 'help with my writing'.

And because they are so low effort, it feels like putting links to a google search essentially. Higher noise, lower signal.

I found Grammerly to be often incorrect, but it's been years since I tried it. I use LanguageTool instead, simply to catch typos.


Good habits and reputation carry forward.


Uhm, have you opened your Settings app? It's had Apple ads for years. And the Wallet app showed a promo notification for the F1 movie.


I see no ads there


Uhm, is crossing?? Mate, you're going to have to reverse direction and travel back about eight years to find that line.

I feel like most of this is Microsoft's fault. As MS lowers the bar for what's acceptable on Windows, Apple just has to be somewhat-obviously better.

Additionally, Google's ad-driven economy set a low bar with Android, but that platform has always been that way. Together, those platforms make it really easy for Apple to posture as being considerate.
