I'm the opposite. I want a known fee or fare. I don't want to have to think if I need to tip or not tip. Is the tip expected or is it optional gratitude for exceptional service?

No, just tell me the amount. Most of the world works this way. Even in places where bribes are routine, there isn't as much tipping.

Restaurants are moving away, slowly, from the tipping model, mostly due to increases in base wages, making it unpalatable for all but the rich, to pay a premium price and a tip on top of that.

Pay your employees/contractors a fair wage and take responsibility for it, don't shift wage responsibility to the "fare" (paying passenger).

Assertions the above passage makes (please correct if I've misconstrued):

1. People don't have a right to examine the activities of their government

2. People don't have a right to speak freely about what has been made public

3. People must trust auditors who work in secret

4. Humble yourself so you can never declare right from wrong (and therefore only believe whoever is in power)

I guess the comment could be considered even-handed, just in a narrow artificial context that basically guarantees a specific conclusion. That context seems similar to how someone would think if they officially handled classified information, a role which would clearly make them a fundamentalist.
When parents of poor kids are given a little money
Nothing too surprising here. The more urbanized coastal provinces and cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong) have much better GDP per capita than the more rural inland provinces.

It would be interesting to see a similar map for the United States. Would it be more skewed or less skewed?
Until I met my wife, I hadn't realized exactly the fortune I had with my family. My parents were teachers and really understood the value of education. We came from a modest background, but it was stable and they did push me to focus on school. I went to a really good school (yay need based financial aid), have a great job that pays me well.

On the other hand, we have my wife. She is smarter than me, but went 7 different schools as her family moved from place to place before she finally dropped out, worked retail as she essentially raised one of her sisters as she scraped by. In a more stable environment, she'd have almost certainly ended up in law or business school.

She now really tries to provide some sort of stability, and encourage focusing on schoolwork with her nieces and nephews, who are in danger of repeating the history of poverty.

Seeing that makes me realize how very lucky I was to be born into the family I was, and everything I took for granted really isn't just what "normal" is.

Ask HN: Critique My Paranoia
Hello HN. I have a procedure I'd like to use for accessing the internet in a completely anonymous way. Please critique my method ruthlessly.

Step 1: Travel at least two hours from my address, preferably in another state, and purchase a burner laptop with cash and not in sight of any cameras. Also purchase a large capacity SSD and USB.

Step 2: Travel at least two hours in another direction and purchase Amazon, Best Buy or Starbucks gift cards from a small third party shop.

Step 3. Take the burner laptop to a remote coffee shop and use the Wi-Fi, again in sight of no cameras. Download Whonix and use the gift cards to redeem bitcoin and a VPN, making significant attempts to ensure the chosen VPN does not log.

Step 4: Wipe the burner laptop and install the copy of Whonix. Immediately set up the VPN and set internet access to immediately fail and shut off if the VPN or Tor fails. Launder the bitcoin several times.

Step 5: Put a piece of paper over the laptop with a checklist to review every time I go to open it, to remind myself of the various compartmentalization checks.

Step 6: Create many different burner email accounts. Use a new burner email address for every website. User a novel username and password for every one.

Step 7: Only access the internet using cafe Wi-Fi and other networks not tied to myself.

Is this sufficient operational security to remain totally anonymous against every reasonable threat save for an extremely motivated nation state?
Does it matter?

Sure, consider that $10k or whatever that you need for a couple months after you lose your job. In an economic downturn, if your stocks/bonds lose half their value, it costs you $20k of pre downturn, investment dollars rather than the $10k of pre-down turn dollars if the money was in a savings account.

That's an interesting use of the word "asshole".

There is this philosopher who picked apart the word "asshole" to try gain insight into what it means. I liked his definition of it -- someone acting out of entitled superiority.

There are lots of folks who are like that. I don't generally distinguish people along the lines of "mainstream" and "counter-culture" in my head. It's more of whether someone is superficial, or someone is impeccable or has integrity. So sure, I've met asshole counter-culture "types". I've also met some very interesting people too.

I think you're probably right that you could ask this question in a number of different ways and come up with at least highly correlated results. I'm not arguing with you. However, as someone involved in surveys among other things as part of my work, I do think precision matters. Otherwise, interpreting the results lead to exactly the sort of arguments you're seeing on this thread.
Sentry looks cool. I have previously tested Rollbar and Airbrake, but was deeply unsatisfied with both.

The big problem I have with all these services is that you need set up each application individually: Each one is a silo, with its own notification settings, API key, and so on. We have dozens of apps (several products + lots of microservices), so this is just unacceptable. I looked into whether I could use a single API key with Rollbar or Airbrake, and simply tag each event with the name of the sender, but it turns out this is not feasible. They don't even have APIs that let you programmatically configure apps remotely.

How does Sentry compare?

(Many other SaaS services suffer from the same issue; for example, Semaphore, which we use for CI, requires a build script for each project. We worked around this by letting the build script be a single curl command that pipes a remote script to bash, shared across all projects. But hardly ideal.)
How to develop billion dollar IP?
Yeah, I know this sounds funny, but how should I go about developing my billion-dollar IP?

I own the most valuable URL in all of social media: Meet.com. It’s coming off lease soon and I want to develop some disruptive new proprietary IP around it (I own the IP exclusively).

I’ve been around the startup turnstile a few times and I have chops, but I really want someone else to carry the ball this time.

How to find? Anyone know anyone?

FYI, all ordering options in systemd are relative and not absolute. You cannot guarantee in systemd that X will be started before Y, because that's not how it works. You declare an approximate dependency and ordering scheme, which is then fed into a graph, optimized and recalculated in memory on every bootup and state-modifying operation. There is no determinism in the boot order due to parallelism and some other constraints, so you can potentially have services be malignantly reordered or fail because of cyclical transactions, loops and stuck jobs.

The point is that, if you're thinking of it as a linear ordered sequence, you have the wrong mental model. On the other hand, systems like OpenRC do work that way.
This is also our major issue with MUBI. We love the film selection, but we live in Germany. When we want to watch a French film, its overdubbed in German.

Netflix is also odd about this but usually we can get German subtitles for any film and choose the audio with original language. Ideally we should be able to select any language that there are available subtitles for. Why restrict it by region ?
Absolutely!

We do have some support for Java, but its unfortunately heavily tied into Logging right now. Our short term goal is to at the very least ensure we have proper documentation (and support) for getting things up and running in Clojure and Scala.

Did you mean applying labor regulations where they're supposed to be applied? Of course employing people under labor law has a cost.

Is this a legitimate article? There are few factual errors mentioned here in other comments[1][2] that have my internet bullshit detector primed, and then I see this quote from Ohler highlighted in the article:

That seems like a very spurious source of knowledge about Nazi drug use.

> No more problems with overflowing logfiles...

Logrotate solves this for me, for every logging method. How did it fail for you?

> ...no more minute-long boot delays...

I don't have this issue with OpenRC on Gentoo. shrug I do know that Kubuntu 15.04's boot time is irregularly slow, and that its shutdown process -every once in a while- hangs forever, requiring the use of SysRq keys. This didn't happen with the previous, Upstart-based version of Kubuntu. (Then again, there are many things wrong with Kubuntu 15.04, so this might not be entirely systemd's fault. ;) )

> ...no more debugging undocumented shell scripts for booting...

Scripts written for OpenRC are typically easy to read. Complex tasks -necessarily- require complex scripts, but you'd have to write and call out to those scripts with systemd, too!

> ...no more writing init scripts...

For services whose startup is as simple as what systemd handles out of the box, I can write a one-to-seven-line startup script for OpenRC and call it a day. Additionally every service packaged in my package manager has come with a init script. [0]

> ...no more brittle, half-assed distribution-specific networking solutions...

shrug Gentoo uses netifrc. It does appear that this is a distro-specific way to bring up the network, [1] but I assure you that it's full-assed, has a well documented and flexible config file, and is not brittle.

[0] Some of them -like the network startup scripts, and the OpenVPN startup scripts- let you make a symlink to the original script, which changes the behavior of the script.

In the case of the network startup scripts, this makes that script change the state of a particular network interface, virtual or otherwise.

In the case of OpenVPN's script, this causes the startup script to look for config files with a different name. In the OpenVPN case, you symlink /etc/init.d/openvpn to /etc/init.d/openvpn.newconfig . The symlinked openvpn startup script then uses the OpenVPN config file /etc/openvpn/newconfig.config to start the "openvpn.newconfig" service. It's really handy!

How would you do this in systemd? Make a new unit file?

[1] Only because -like all distro-specific things-, noone else has bothered to adopt it. ;)

Their age doesn't predict their accuracy. With that said, I like the idea of asking how they think various age groups think. Maybe they think their district is not as young as it is, maybe they think younger voters are more similar to older voters than they are, or maybe both.
Once you start lying, you have no way of knowing if your goal is even worth pursuing. You are creating an institution which will have the primary goal of perpetuating itself.

>Most of the benefit of Lyft/Uber comes from app convenience, being cashless, mutual rating to weed out the jerks, carpooling efficiency, transparency (easy to get estimates and know if you overpaid), good customer support, and reliability in getting a ride, all of which are legal and which cab companies could have done.

You are ignoring the speed of getting a ride. I mean, all those things would help a lot for cabs, but if I had to wait half an hour, even if I knew it would only be half an hour, while that would be better than my previous cab experience, it still wouldn't be very useful.

If you want me to use the cab regularly, your average wait time needs to be 5 minutes or less. This means you need a lot of cabs on the road... a lot more than were in my area before this.

I'll put up with a lot of other bullshit, but if you make me wait, I'm not going to use your service, full stop.

I'm not sure that would be possible under the previous regulations. Improving dispatch only takes you so far; at some point you need more cabs on the road.

>They have a lot of room to raise prices before it outweighs those advantages. Remember, people were using UberBlack (as "UberCab" way back then), which simply took existing, fully-insured car service drivers, which had no regulatory advantage, long before UberX/Lyft.

Now, here's where we need to stop and remember that the average HN user makes a lot more money than the average person. Yes, for you and me? it's about convenience.

That's the thing, I'd be fine paying uber black rates; but waiting is not a luxury experience. At the same price, I'd much rather ride in a ratty honda that shows up in four minutes than take a limo that takes twenty minutes.

But there are a lot of people for whom the price matters a whole lot. There are more of them than there are of us, by a lot. If Uber only wants to keep me as a customer, yes, they can double prices for me. but their customer base is massively larger if they are cheaper than cabs, and the larger their customer base, the more cars they will have wandering around, and the less time I need to wait for a car.

I suspect that if uber doubled their prices, their ridership (and thus drivers on the road) would fall to the point where my wait times would increase to the point where I would no longer find the service interesting.

This is a really great looking service. I couldn't find a contact form that wasn't for sales inquiries, but I thought you might like to know that your website is extremely buggy on my phone (iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2, Mobile Safari).

This is the bug: Scrolling causes the page to reload. Not even joking. Seems to happen on all pages.

Anyway, I took a look on my desktop and it works fine there. I might even sign up a few of my clients. Just not with my phone.
Thanks, my mistake.

I've been bit by this before. I sometimes wish you had to mark "reference-of" just like you have to mark "address-of" with &.

It's obvious that blah(&foo) might modify foo, without needing to examine the signature of blah().

The tradeoff is a bit of code clutter when you add a symbol (something like shared.compare_exchange_weak(%oldValue, oldValue * multiplier)), and a violation of DRY, since the information provided by this symbol would be redundant.
The issue comes down to whether it's reasonable to expect a very large number of people to try to emulate the work of the true professional theorists. For the average programmer, it might be nice to know once in a while, but why this continued emphasis on a (formal) theoretical background?
ugh.

That sort of sentiment and posturing is very core of what is wrong with the "gun-ownership" movement.

Do you really think if the government wanted to put down a rebellion (or whatever you are ominously alluding to) your paltry weapons would really make a difference? The "suicide by cop" statistic would increment and things would carry on.

There really needs to be a change on how easy it is to procure fire-arms in the US. That shouldn't be up for debate or sidelining through traditionalist arguments. We have a problem today where people are actually getting murdered. So, your rhetoric is pretty empty and over-used.
That is akin to asking, did he owe to it to us to write up his proof rather than lock up reams of papers in his cabinet? As others have elaborated, academics owe it to the community to not just spend their time 'working', but communicating. In fact, where does 'working' end and communicating begin? At writing it up on reams of paper? Typing it up and posting it to Arxiv? Going through peer review? Lecturing about your work and convincing people? It is arbitrary to draw a line at 'posting it to Arxiv'. 'working' only ends when your results are effectively communicated to the community. It is an incomplete project till then. The whole objective of research is to advance the field for the community, not just in one's own head!

The design flaw in PBKDF2
Excuse me? I certainly DO have a chip and pin, thank you very much!!! The scolding was from fellow patrons. "Why are you waving around that card? That isn't welcome around here. That's not how we do things around here." They didn't have card readers in sight either so..... I was expecting to pay cash anyways, I figured I'd just try card first... I just felt very embarrassed trying to pay card in a cash establishment. It was very clear it was an "old school" type establishment....

I do have chip and pin and I wouldn't have left without a chip and pin card (I have more than one out of my 8 credit cards, not counting debit cards...which I have several as well...). There was absolutely zero reason to believe a perceived lack of chip and pin was an issue from what I wrote.

Also the fraud rule are/will be different in the US as well.

I went to a deli they told me that I have to ahev £10 minimum to use a card. I went to a restaurant and they had a £1.50 surcharge for card as well and encouraged me to pay in cash.

The first time I used card while I was there was at Wetherspoons... lol...

I also base my feelings on my personal observations of watching other people pay for things as well. Of course my "feeling" could be off base as well. People are known for getting a wrong impression sometimes.

That being said - I still love Scotland and will visit again in a heartbeat. In fact I hope to visit again in the near future!
It does pay really well.
