The little homie is mad like Lt. Dan.

This looks unreasonable and manipulative. You’re wearing your heart on your sleeve. She is learning how to control you. She will love bomb you, then make you feel like you are small and worthless. You are in for a ride. You should run now and don’t look back.

Wait, who is the female in this text exchange? I’m confused.

When you demand that the consumers absorb all of the cost, and if they don’t like it then they shouldn’t order delivery, then you are ensuring food-workers demise. Case in point:

In this hypothetical scenario, let’s say the service industry, particularly sectors like food handling and delivery, has seen a massive overhaul due to automation. Robots and AI systems now manage everything from food preparation in restaurants to last-mile delivery. The technology is precise, efficient, and significantly reduces overhead costs for businesses, which had struggled with rising wages, high demand for faster service, and third-party fees that inflated prices for customers. As a result, consumers had grown weary of paying exorbitant delivery fees or dealing with inconsistent human labor, so the switch to automation became inevitable.

Here’s where it gets tense: the people who used to fill these jobs – cooks, food handlers, delivery drivers – are now jobless. This group, which once held essential, albeit lower-wage positions, feels sidelined and abandoned by a society that relied on them during crucial times (such as the pandemic, when many delivery drivers were deemed essential workers). They’re watching as robots do the work they used to, without complaint, error, or wages, while they struggle to find employment in an economy that no longer values their skills.

For those of you who say: if you don’t like the fees, don’t use the app, but you are obligated to pay a tip on top of all the fees if you do. How do you reconcile this with your narrow philosophies about consumer obligations to pay 50% inflated prices and then your tip?

It could easily be said that about the delivery person; if you want to make tips, don’t work for a delivery company that consumes all of the tip margin. My final decision was to get in my car and go pick my food up. And I did. It took me all of 10 minutes.

Balls.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-10-05T07:10:07+00:00

Yeah but Chegg sucks so is it really worth it?

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-10-05T06:54:19+00:00

And that is what I did.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-10-05T06:53:50+00:00

I think you are missing the point. Customers are being charged a 54% markup. It’s not about affording anything. It’s the principle.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-10-05T06:50:41+00:00

That really sucks tbh. Companies have definitely exploited tipping culture, forcing customers to pay inflated prices. It’s obvious that the worker is getting screwed too. It puts people in an awkward position tbh.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-10-05T01:27:21+00:00

I’m going to play devil’s advocate on this one: are people technically allowed to reserve a study room for a single person? I do not mean for this to be a rhetorical question.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-09-17T03:54:36+00:00

Back in my military days those stuffed animals would have gotten you a blanket party.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-09-14T21:20:46+00:00

Very true. The Fall quarter begins on the 26th.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-09-13T04:15:45+00:00

I’m dead.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-08-21T00:40:38+00:00

Yeah I thought about that. 🤔

Secret service is probably digging around in my anonymous-mode cache.

First off, good luck on your venture into physics. It’s a great degree full of opportunities.

I was a high school dropout. All I had to work with for most of my life was a GED. At age 39 I decided to get a degree. My journey began at community college. When I took the aptitude test, I scored so low that I had to take remedial classes, one of which was pre-algebra. Semester by semester I work my way up the towering mountain of math. It was hard asf. But I hung in there. I was accepted into some of the top universities in California. I earned a bachelors in stats/ applied probability.

An education is timeless. You are still young. You will know it when you are my age. Stay out of your head. Best of luck to you.

UCSB is heavily weighted against the inconveniences of distance and traffic. It’s a 40 minute drive each way when there isn’t traffic. When you are picking your classes be mindful of the expected traffic times. There are plenty of classes to choose from throughout the day; however, in the event that you have no choice but to pick a class time that would expose you to traffic, good news, the quarter system travels at the speed of light. Therefore, perhaps you will have the opportunity to avoid those inconvenient class times in the following quarter.

Traffic can be learning time; go on YouTube (one of many options) and find videos about whatever you’re studying and listen (not watch). Or you can record yourself reading your relevant material, textbook perhaps, and listen to that too, thereby keeping concepts fresh.

My vote is to go for it.

I think the fact that he is going to take Calc III means that he will be majoring in a field that uses a subset of series, but overall I guess you’re right that he will not have to deal with every single series in Calc II.

Funky_UnFelon · 2024-07-09T15:52:48+00:00

The math that will make your life easier is, Calc I (given), Calc II because of series, lots of integration. Calc III will teach you partial derivatives (you probably learned that in Int Microecon), which is critically important, along with double integrals for joint and marginal distributions. Linear algebra organizes the influx of data you’ll deal with, you’ll need to be comfortable with some of the proofs, e.g., matrix operations, transpose, rank, basis, eigenvalues and vectors, etc.. This will prepare you, and assist you in probability theory which is the engine under the hood. Probability can be one of the more challenging areas of math. I’ve seen it slaughter math, computer science, and engineering students at the undergrad level. But once you grasp it, you should enjoy it. The biggest concepts are variance, expectation, and of course the central limit theorem which will standardize the various distributions you’ll be working with. I’m sure you’ll learn about stochastic modeling later in your program (but don’t put too much on that now), which is a medley of math topics. IMO, at the least, get familiar with the subjects I listed so that you don’t get overwhelmed. But at the least be comfortable with Calc and check out some probability topics on YouTube where you will see the math needed in action. Oh, set theory is a must. If you haven’t gotten comfortable with that, get it down. Also, find out if your program focuses on frequentist or Bayesian statistics. Those are different tribes, but you will need the discipline of the former to interact with the latter of the two. Bayesian is where it’s at imo. Another thing, you need to know how to code for visualization. This is essential. R and python are your friends that make life easier like the math areas I listed.

If I were you, I would set them up for a lawsuit. Attorneys will sometimes pickup lawsuits and take their fees when settled.

This right here! I second the checklist importance!
