This just depends on whether a specific store has upgraded their POS. At every grocery store I go to in SF, including Whole Foods, Safeway, and Costco, every register supports NFC/Apple Pay.

Even better than Apple Pay IMO is NFC-enabled cards. Love that US issuers like Chase and Amex have finally started rolling those out.

It isn’t as if there’s no staff. Someone still needs to restock, clean, answer customer questions, etc.

Assuming this was pure LSD, 4 full doses is way too much. It leads me wonder if he knew what we was getting into ahead of time or if he was peer pressured and did not have much experience.

The trial will be interesting here. I think his best defense is that he had no clue what a safe dose was and had 0 control over his own actions while he did what he did.

How does that change anything? The point is CSW is relevant in the sense that if the #9 token by market cap collapsed it should be “news” in the crypto world. He isn’t just some crazy bystander whose supporters have nothing to lose.

You’re underestimating the story here. CSW is the creator of Bitcoin SV, which today has a market cap of $3.5 billion. A lot of people stand to lose or gain a lot of money depending on his claims.

I would say farmers market even more so than a grocery store, though I usually do both.

Ironically I also love going to foreign McDonalds. Always fun to see what local items they have.

Blackjack on the strip has become a boiling frog of sorts. Everytime I go back the rules are tweaked a little more in the house’s favor.

3:2 payouts for Blackjack were gone years ago, but more recently no even money for Blackjack if dealer shows an Ace, only split once for two Aces...not worth it at that point.

Yes, not even a few hours ago a VC at Founders Fund tweeted “...there's a strong correlation between the people outraged by privacy and the people that I think are dumbasses in the valley.”

Now the CEO is getting praised on Twitter but this doesn’t address the main complaint which is the read status itself. Yes, location made it worse, but that data was mostly bunk anyway because Gmail (and probably others) will show the location of the Gmail server and not the user themselves.

A quick look at their Glassdoor reviews paints a very different story if the reviews are to be believed...

I think the decision to move to the burbs is almost entirely out of the question as an LGBT. Urban centers are the only places with thriving LGBT communities, and I think I would feel very alone if I moved away from one.

I don’t think anything about Subway has changed in 20+ years. Everything, including the distinct colors of every vegetable and shape of every meat, is exactly how I remember when I was a little kid.

My point was more that I disagree that burnout is caused in part by the fact that you perceive other people caring less about work than you do.

If anything, the reason why burnout seems to be more frequent is because too many people care too much about their work, which creates pressure on others to join in on appearing like they care and emotionally invest in their work, which goes back to my theory that people ultimately burnout because they’ve been pressured to put their whole selves into their work when for many their work is actually devoid of much meaning.

Hmm in my experience burnout has little to do with how much your peers care about their work relative to you?

For me it seems to happen because we feel that we must be emotionally invested in our work, and the toll of being 100% emotionally invested in something that is more likely than not devoid of meaning creates a “burnout” reaction.

That’s called a sociopath where I’m from...

Superhuman has read receipts. AFAIK no email clients offers that outside of email marketing software.

Someone on Twitter freaked out because one of the “core” features of Superhuman is basically a read receipt e.g. similar to marketing emails where they add a clear pixel to your email before sending.

I absolutely hate that stuff, but marketers do this all the time anyway. Definitely adds one more creep factor if you know the sender is using Superhuman and can tell if you have or haven’t opened their email.

I feel like fasting and intentionally buying nothing is the only way to fight back against a consumption driven society nowadays.

KP is a bit washed up at the moment, so I wouldn’t take them leading on an investment as a sign this is an obvious home run. Feels very faddy to me.

Well that’s simply not true because pressure on Gilead has already made them agree to expire their exclusive rights to manufacture in the US by 2020.

It’s also not a rich vs poor country thing at all. It’s generic in almost all other parts of the world outside the US.

Wow, this is a bad take. You could literally say that about any disease. Why don’t all obese people just change their behavior and then we don’t need to worry about cheap insulin anymore! Why don’t men stop having sex with each other and then they won’t be at risk for HIV?

Uh, no. Truvada is a generic drug in many countries around the world and cost maybe $10/month not $2000/month. The US just allows Gilead to profit massively from something that is generic and in the public health interest of all Americans to be as cheap as possible. In fact, Gilead agreed to speed up the expiration of their exclusivity so that it will become generic in 2020 due to public outcry, but the fact that a life saving drug will still be $2000/month for a year or more when it could be $10 tomorrow is terrible.

It’s crazy that a drug that prevents the spread of HIV (Truvada) is nearly $2000/month. Even if you had insurance with a high deductible plan you’d potentially need to pay $6-7k before having it covered.

The government should be giving this away for free.

I haven’t found many “takes” on Libra talk about Calibra, which is FB’s Libra wallet and, if this thing takes off, would likely by default be the top wallet for Libra transactions.

Calibra would require full identity verification e.g. submitting SSN and a copy of your picture ID. Getting that info is way beyond what FB has about you now.

If you knew you would be having a baby one year, wouldn’t it make sense to pay a higher premium for a better plan with a low or 0 deductible? Or does the math still not work out?

Literally every company has a tool like this. It’s more a question on what is a company doing to define and enforce justifiable usage among employees.

At a well known “unicorn” I worked at a few years ago someone was reportedly fired for looking up celebrity accounts.

It’s hard for a govt to stop bitcoin from being used for money laundering but when it’s a small number of mega corps validating transactions + the price stability and privacy features I’m wondering how exactly they will stop money launderers or terrorist financiers from using Libra to thwart traditional bank AML triggers?

Who is in charge of stopping this from being used for money laundering?

The fact that interviews are so standardized in this industry is such a rarity and the pros outweigh the cons for me as someone interviewing. It means you should basically know exactly what to expect, and you have every resource, most free, to study for them. I find that a much more meritocratic process than the way hiring is done in many other industries/professions.

The alternative is widely varying interviews from one company to the next with no idea what to expect, which leads to a mismatch in expectations and mostly wasted time. Take home coding assignments is one alternative I see as well but as someone interviewing that is a much bigger time commitment and something I would not want to do especially if I’m interviewing at a few places.
