The way I understood why it’s beneficial to switch your choice after the host opens a door showing you a goat is as below

Assume that door 1 has a goat , door 2 has a car and door 3 has a goat behind it. There are 3 trials possible in the Monty Hall scenario

Trial 1 Contestant chose door 1(which is a goat). Host opens door 3(because he has to) and asks if contestant would like to switch. If he switches, then he wins the !

Trial 2 Contestant chooses door 2, host can open door 1 or 3 doesn’t matter. Host asks contestant if he’d like to switch and if he does then he loses.

Trial 3 Contestant chooses door 3(which has a goat). Host opens door 1(he has to) and asks if contestant would like to switch to door 2. Contestant switches to door 2 and wins a cat!

So 2/3 times contestant wins when switching his/her original choice.

I see this every time I connect to my local library Wifi or Costco. I thought Captive was the name of the company providing this service. TIL.

See! To people complaining about this being on the front page - https://xkcd.com/1053/

Thanks for sharing this! I suspect that the salary listed for certified petitions may be capturing the upper end of the range of salary provided in the LCA for the job/position rather than the actual salary.

True, but does not help in this case with vintage parts.

Please engage sarcasm-awareness mode.

Neither humans nor LLMs are currently equipped with separate sarcasm-awareness modes so telling someone to engage theirs can only be…ohh

that's so beyond obviously a sarcastic remark. In that regard I'd consider a vast majority of the humans totally capable of detecting dead pan sarcasm both in spoken and written speech.

Isn’t there a well known internet adage that speaks to this?

Do you remember what it is?

Cunningham's law

Cunningham himself even claims it was a misquote, and that he never suggested such a thing.

“Shouting incorrect directions in Ironforge” predates Cunningham by several years in any case.

Noted.

I believe the OP was attempting humour.

Yes. Pitfall of not reading the entire comment before responding.

Many prefer to be tipped in cash.

"Prefer".

I have read that, if you tip with a card, the business gets it, and they may give it to the staff, and they may not. But if you tip by leaving cash on the table, the staff for sure gets it, and the business can't stiff them. So, yeah, the staff probably prefers it.

The staff can also not report it for income tax, so of course they prefer it

I pay my barber in cash, because that's the only payment he accepts.

> Many prefer to be tipped in cash.

Tipping is about the only time I need cash. Outside of restaurants, most people I need to tip do not have an easy way to receive digital payments.

The last time CNN covered an inane reality show star he became president, so maybe they're prepping us for a fun 2028.

Since it’s Halloween I guess we had to have a terrifying post somewhere.

If you have cash, it may be a good idea to buy in this small downturn. Though I expect there will be more buying opportunities in the coming year.

It’s not uncommon. Orkut back in the day was wildly popular in Latin America and India. WhatsApp is the same. I think users in NA have a lot of high quality options as against those in Asia and LatAm who don’t have much reliable options other than ones developed in NA.

You can get an android phone for about one tenth of what a new iPhone costs. That’s why android dominates lower income markets. Apple decided they just don’t want to be there.

13B it’s not entirely from treasuries. The breakdown is 7B from treasuries —> probably from the methods you described 5B from Gold —> believable if you notice how gold has done in 2024 1B from other sources. No idea what they are.

The article mentions that tether may not have been audited by a third party. So I’m not sure how believable these numbers are.

Handshake agreements will most likely fall apart in time due to changing needs and personalities. This is why contracts are absolutely needed, especially for the size of business Sriracha was involved in.

Except for the court ruling of 13 million in favor of Underwood Ranch, the article isn’t very clear in the amount by which the 2 companies disagreed so difficult to say if it was purely a clash of the 2 owner’s personalities or some other fundamental change in market that brought this sudden schism.

It seemed pretty clear to me that Tran started looking for cheaper peppers elsewhere first.

It wasn't that clear to me. Do you mean by the fact that he started the Chilico company and tried to hire Underwood's manager? That did seem a little shady, but it just seemed like there aren't enough details out in the open to know for sure. Although I suppose the 13M judgement against Huy Fong supports the case.

That was certainly my impression from the article as well.
