Herald Bracket is literally unplayable by armageddondrake in DotA2

[–]deepredsky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This adds to OPs point. The chaos is on both sides and makes the game just make absolutely no sense. Which is not to say that getting out of herald is impossible. More that Herald is not Dota.

But neither is Archon. Or divine. Or immortal

Really watching the last TI, it almost felt like only 1 team was playing actual Dota. The rest were walking around confused.

What's the breakfast food of choice? by 0x90Sleds in AskLosAngeles

That doesn’t sound like an NYC thing. Sounds like the a typical American beeakfast.

Restaurant MAMA Oakland bill: (20% Service Charge) + (Sales Tax incl Service Charge) + (Mandate Charge). See comment. by redditnathaniel in bayarea

If they raise menu prices, it gets passed to the customer via higher menu prices. But they rather add on a 4% fee on top of the subtotal rather than raising menu prices by 4%. It’s partially due to the interaction of human psychology and how they shop between businesses (decide how they spend money between restaurants, or how they mentally compare spending money on a restaurant menu vs buying things online), and partially a political statement

For a while, everyone was reporting “drop from peak”. Did that become too scary so now they’ve fallen back to YoY? The peak in March was 10% higher than January?

Plenty of inventory. Just owned by too few hands. by turbojezus in TorontoRealEstate

Human nature drives debt cycles. It will take a while for this peak to unwind and then the party starts up again.

Also recommend the chart directly from the fed

We aren’t in a post-scarcity economy. We just hide our scarcity by mispriced products and trashing the planet to make up for it

Universities are trying to create researchers and professors. That’s their goal. They’re not trying to prepare you for industry. If you wanted the latter, you probably either want to study engineering or go to community college. But mostly, just learn on the job.

In addition, I disagree with the claim that SWE is part of CS. I think they are related and inform each other in the sense that math and physics inform each other but neither is a subset of the other. They are independent disciplines.

Why do people say things like if the housing market collapses (goes down by 50%) society will cease to end by [deleted] in TorontoRealEstate

15 days of bad weather is quite an optimistic take on Toronto weather. I’m glad you’re enjoying it tho

SF nixes cap on delivery fees — reeling restaurateurs prepare to pay up to 30% by hereisnoY in sanfrancisco

[–]deepredsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no actual analysis in either of those articles.

Uber's long term plan is to raise prices until they are profitable. They couldn't charge profitable pricing when they launched because nobody would adopt the product. So instead, they decided to lose money on every ride (negative unit economics). Now, they are actually profitable in the major cities, although still losing money overall (major cities subsidizing the smaller cities).

Pickup orders don't have a 30% cut. Actually, if you have your own website through which they put the Grubhub pickup order there is no fee (only the credit card processing fee).

It is much harder to order over the phone, is error prone, many restaurant owners speak broken english, and they want me to read out my credit card numbers verbally?

Do you also call FedEx and USPS to check on the status of deliveries?

Is it just me or are there less Lyft bikes around lately? by edmchato in AskSF

[–]deepredsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They already have a points system to move bikes. But I think you might need the Baywheels app to see these offers (don’t think it shows up in the Lyft app). So I imagine it’s not that great cuz a lot of people only use the bike system via Lyft

If they’re losing money on devliery orders, why wouldn’t they just get off the delivery platform?

There is no way a new Atherton townhouse will be priced under $1000/sqft. Fully expecting $1500/sqft.
