My wife worked extensively with Michelin-starred chefs in the Bay Area for a decade. I've been lucky enough to get to know some of them and their mentality.

The best of the best are always trying to be, well, better. Food is only one of the aspects that they think about- they also want you to feel welcome and respected. As the article mentions, some chefs have kept notebooks of guest preferences in the past. If they can use someone's Instagram account to get a sense of who they are before they come in, they can make sure that the waitstaff are treating them in a manner they would like. For example, if someone seems like they are introverted, then maybe they back off on the social interactions with them. If they seem to be someone more extroverted, then they get more attention.

Chefs want anyone that comes in to feel like they are special. This is just a new innovation in that direction, and it's not something that you're going to find happening at Chili's anytime soon.

This. I enjoyed the $15,000 gram of weed and 8ball of coke I bought in my 20s.

You realize a lot of ISPs block ports like HTTP, SMTP, SMB.. right? Should we allow unfettered access to services that when compromised affects the entirety of the internet? Iâ(TM)m okay with gating it behind a more expensive service since, you know, most home users donâ(TM)t need to send email to every smtp server on the internet

My friend you need to look at how to spin these cases. Since ISPs are no longer telecommunications companies, a lot of the government fees should be removed as well (this does not translate to customers savings). Police wiretaps require court orders again. Mergers and acquisitions have less regulatory tape.

Most importantly the barrier to entry has been lowered greatly as an ISP is not bound to telecommunications regulations. Letâ(TM)s not forget why the net neutrality argument even started. Netflix used to pay for transit to all the major isps. Then they landed a sweetheart deal with Level 3 where L3 would handle Netflix transit as peering traffic. Netflix expands rapidly and ISPs realize they are being choked by Netflix traffic but Netflix pays them zero. The share the L3 pays was drastically less due to peering agreements. So a private company effectively socialized their costs. Every ISP said wtf Netflix needs to pay. Then Netflix funded the net neutrality movement saying that you were going to be affected. But in the end they still passed the costs onto the customer while they experienced record profit for years on end! So ask yourself why should we allow this?

This is not going to affect your aws hosted site, or your personal blog. This is going to affect AI crawlers. This is going to affect CDNs. The abusers of bandwidth. Further, we live in the era of multigig home connections. Net neutrality was a 2010s issue. It is not a concern today. Move on.

At first I legit wondered if you were in the US, because (a) in the USA we are allowed to sell alcohol on the trains, and (b) your post history is SO us-biased. However it was this post that made me realize you are not in the USA. I am sorry you cannot enjoy a fresh beverage on the train in your country.

However I must note you expend an extraordinary amount of energy on the US when it is not your country. I find that fascinating. Also fascinating is how negative your entire post history is. I had to go back 10 pages until I found that linked comment, and every. single. post. was so overwhelmingly negative. It was really tiresome at some point, which made me wonder if you're like this in real life. You should take a moment and reflect on yourself. Even at the age of 51, it's not too late to change your perspective. Smile. Go for a walk. Breathe. Reframe your thought, then think about your reply. Mindfulness is a wonderful way to harness positive energy. Good luck to you!

I am very fond of BMWs interface. It is very smooth and intuitive. I very much like the gesture pads on audi and Mercedes. It is very nice to just write what you want and it figures it out. Benz has the best cursive handwriting detection I have ever seen in a car.

That said, we are in the future. We shouldnâ(TM)t be interacting with screens anymore. We should be telling the car what we want and it figures it out.

Apple CarPlay and Google auto are atrocious on Mazda screens. Try to zoom in and zoom out, your eyes are down on the screen instead of out on the road. At least with touch screen I can blindly stab until I see the zoom changing in my periphery.

Within the last 2-3 years they changed the Menu functionality, prior to that you had to use that silly knob to back out and get to another menu. Very very very difficult to change radio stations and then get back to the map for instance. They made it slightly better by adopting audi mmi concepts, such as direct action buttons taking you to the radio, nav, phone etc.

So yea Mazda infotainment screens have been trash for a very long time, you have not missed out on much.

where are they going to go. they are addicted to their half a million paychecks and half a million in RSU. if massa says jump they say 'how high'. i left that rat race. it's like government work, it looks good from the outside but once you get in you realize you just sold your soul for easy sailing (govt) or easy money (faang)

To which they respond with words ending in "fired" and starting with "you're"

Most applications are DNS-routed and DNS is the security layer for all things HTTP.

So this feature really is for old and stuck technologies and bad designs that are hard to change.

I'm glad they did. Bad designs deserve security too. But they deserve redesign more.

"it's rather difficult for an attacker to actually connect me to a different IP address"

Is it really?

Have you run a router or honeypot?

I simply turn off WiFi, setup a local network, plug in Ethernet and scp files to an ssh server. I also scp all of my files not just some to look like I am taking a backup. I also do this monthly from day 1 and then stop the moment I plan to get another job for some sweet plausible deniability. Not that I have ever done anything like this..

I always tell people my FSD ADAS (non-Tesla) is about the same as a 16 year old new driver. They do a good entry level job but I do not trust it to drive without my monitoring

Old man yells at cloud. Literally

FWIW, shutdowns and mandates were done by the state. States rights are a thing and you, as a USA citizen, are welcome to relocate to a different state which did not implement draconian measures. The government worked the way it should have during this time.
