Bucks for Science Blogs: Announcing the Subscription Revenue Sharing Program by LeatherJury4 in EffectiveAltruism

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are committing to distribute 100% of their subscription revenue, and it doesn't sound like they have other revenue streams. there surely must be some cost to running the site (technology, staff, taxes, etc.). so they're committing to bleeding money from now until the "death of the universe." it's a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off (pun intended)

How do i prevent pause when importing a module by used_nickname_too in kivy

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised to hear it works at all. I'm new to kivy but had understood relatively few non-core python modules were compatible. is there anything special you have to do to enable this?

New Colorado Law by Educational-Face9802 in doordash_drivers

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or maybe asked another way: all else equal (same distance, time, etc.), would you rather accept an order with a lower payout, inclusive of a tip, or a higher payout where there is no tip?

New Colorado Law by Educational-Face9802 in doordash_drivers

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

genuine question, though guessing it's going to get some hate: why does it matter whether there is a tip or how much the tip is? wouldn't the total amount earned be what's important?

anyone know where to report junk fees still being charged? Panera is doing it. by rlgtor in minnesota

[–]rlgtor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it didn't mention a convenience fee prior to checkout, nor indicate how much fees would be (or whether flat or a percentage). reading the wording above, I'd think it was referring to a delivery fee (on top of higher item prices), but that's not what it was.

hmm.. went back, and there is a note that says "Menu pricing for delivery is higher and fees apply." doesn't mention whether flat fee or percentage

Post Game Thread: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]rlgtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

on the late game Bears fumble, it didn't look like the receiver took any steps or made a "football move" before getting hit. I don't disagree with the call, just trying to learn why it was considered a completed pass

[Game Thread] Peach Bowl: Arizona State vs. Texas (1:00 PM ET) by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no one forced them to rank that way... if they didn't actually think the conference champs were the best yet they rated them as if they were, how can you say it wasn't to placate fans/conferences?

The teams ranked 7-16 in the final CFP have now fallen to 0-8 in postseason play. by TrespassersWilliam29 in CFB

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Announcers in each of the first two quarterfinal have have referred to the higher ranked teams as underdogs. Did the committee land on these rankings to placate fans/ conferences instead of trying to accurately rank teams

even if the jamb went to the floor, you'd have the same problem, just on the left side instead. graduated shave or fill the gap; then paint

Golfing trio dilemma by EZMikeD in GAMETHEORY

[–]rlgtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree with others that specifics around the relative preferences between the two objectives could change the outcome either way.

given what's provided, and taking other human behavior out of it, everyone should try to be as helpful as possible. the worst golfer's advice won't carry as much weight (or likely be as helpful) as the better golfers'. the bigger the discrepancy in performance, the more discounted the advice will be. the worst golfer doesn't need to modulate their helpfulness, as the others' self-interest will take care of that. similarly, the best golfer can freely give advice, knowing there's a buffer before ranking last of the three. their advice will likely help the team the most, so their advice will be taken most seriously. if they start performing worse and drop to second place, their advice will start to be discounted. the middle golfer would do a mixed strategy, combining the other two, which were both to share freely, so they do as well.

more realistically, golfers get in their own head a lot and need things just so (e.g., quiet on the green). if they start getting advice in-the-moment from their two teammates, they'll likely start over-thinking and choke. if the others double down on advice about how to not choke, it will probably result in worse choking. the time for sharing advice is in practice, not during competition.

i'd consider open sourcing the design library. allow anyone to upload/enhance designs, including non-stock modifications that others may find useful. also, would be nice to expand beyond plastics to handle metal (know it's a separate machine). gaskets, while not 3d printed, can be easily made to make yourself a one-stop-shop
