Fully agree, been to Japan couple of weeks ago and they literally don't tip at all. Everybody gives you the change to the last penny, which is awesome. There's no need for you to evaluate the service and tip accordingly, not to mention some awkward situations when one of the parties is not happy with it.
Tipping is a barbaric practice. If drivers aren't making enough they should be advocating for higher wages instead of complaining that Uber doesn't make it easy enough for them to take bribes.
Postgres currently uses a single process per connection. That means at most one CPU core is used per query executing a connection. Parallel query allows breaking up query plans to allow multiple processes (and by extension cpu cores) to process a part of a query plan.

The classic example is a sequential scan, say for a COUNT(*) or SUM(foo). A single process would scan through all the blocks in order. A parallel scan would split the blocks into N buckets, scan them via N separate processes, and then combine the results.
Then what was the point of your original post? If you're happy with what you're doing(or not doing), then good! Otherwise it sounds like you do wish you were working on these ideas, and are looking for some reassurance of it.

I am also of the school of economic thought that there are always opportunities in the market. I think it is a compelling argument that there may be even more opportunities in a "down" market.

I am sure the network of people in silicon valley is great. However, I think most people are just out there trying to get a nice 120k job and chill. When vc capital drys up, all of these people are going to leave. The fact remains - many people are up to their eyeballs in debt and they cannot afford to sit around potentially not having a real job. There may be holdouts like yourself who stick around and have money to pay the rent with - but all of the transient 120k people are going to leave.

The gist of what I am saying is that I think you overestimate the cash reserves of the average person. When the jobs leave, the people leave. Simple as that! It doesn't matter if they want to solve problems. They have bills to pay.

Having worked in somewhat similar spaces in the past, I doubt that (1) would be implemented, at least for the broad gathering/analytics/etc. I strongly suspect resolving company to person name would only happen manually, and only because of some specific request or incident.

As for (2), well, yes...facial recognition is a different problem.
It's true, but some people would undoubtedly agree to use it. And I personally expect a noticeable number of them (and I would be among them).
I loved this comment so much that I almost wrote about loving it in another dimension.
The features that I'll personally probably enjoy the most are really the FDW join pushdown work, parallel query. (though it's still early days for the parallel stuff)

..and the thing that's a killer feature for many larger databases, the freeze map. Not having to FREEZE things all the time is a godsend.
not really, sql is usually used to refer to relational databases (and yes i am aware that sql is not fully relational)

to sql vs nosql

is more like relational vs other models

nosql can also be seen as domain specific databases
some nosql options work great for specific types of apps
but not others

and to conclude, the key feature of relational databases is integrity, your data is normalized, so you are guaranteed integrity, problem is, integrity is not free, this why we need nosql and other bi solutions like olap cubes

but olap cubes are different, since they dont replace relational databases, they complement each other ... olap can also be seen as domain specific
Yeah, and I mentioned, I appreciate anyone contributing to open source so I actually feel a little bad being critical. I was just wondering what the use case is. Especially since Sqlite3 is installed by default (probably also on shared hosts) and has the same requirements (all it needs is the ability to read and write a file).

Aside from that, I'm leery of Hacker News being a place where brand new open source contributions gets submitted (regardless of quality). There are other places for that.
The same could be said about any tourism. It's value is not measured by which checkboxes of tourist things you fill, it's whether or not you enjoyed visiting somewhere new. Drinking at the local bar in another country is a good way to get a feel for life there.
Yeah, the title should be "SQL vs NoSQL: I only partially understand one"
I don't know where you live, but almost every single Uber driver I've talked to say they make more money than the job they had previously with far more flexibility, so they're pretty happy. One Uber driver said he made over $80k last year and he loved it.

I think that takeaways do always reduce the quality of conversation. If someone is unwilling to be engaged enough to even glance at the linked article, they probably can't provide meaningful or relevant commentary on it, having read only the synopsis. The amount of effort it takes to RTFA is practically nil.

I've seen entire threads spawn from a clear misinterpretation of the title alone. Encouraging people to put as little effort as possible into understanding a topic can't possibly improve the quality of the discussion around it.

And that doesn't even consider the likelihood that whomever is creating the summary is consciously or subconsciously applying a bias to controversial articles.

Unfortunately, it does seem like a bit of a zero sum game. Providing a summary of the article will prevent people from reading the article, and people would rather engage entirely with the comments than the article itself.

Should I feel something in response to this?
Buffet himself declares that he pays a 17.4 percent rate on taxable income. His staff, like Bosanek, pay an average of 34 percent. The IRS publishes detailed tax tables by income level. The 2009 results show that the average taxpayer paying Buffet’s 17.4 rate earns an adjusted gross income between $100,000 and $200,000. But an average taxpayer in Bosaneck’s rate (after downward adjustment for payroll taxes) earns an adjusted gross income of $200,000 to $500,000. Therefore Buffett must pay Debbie Bosanke a salary well above two hundred thousand.

Is it me, or does that not make any sense? The average tax payer of that percentage makes that amount, therefore she must make that amount? Am I supposed to believe this man doesn't know how averages work? Because the alternative is he's being very disingenuous.

Great! Congrats!
There should be mentions about CAP theorem, and tradeoffs about consistency vs availability. Sometimes you dont care as much about CAP-consistency than availability or scalability.
> How about taxing net worth of an individual? Calculated by market participants like they do today.

Nobody in the USA has the balls to propose or implement this.

It does make sense though. Why tax the guy making money? You should tax the guy hoarding it!
It looks awesome. However, the site is quite vocal about telling me how many people "are in line" to use the service: 25,763 for me.
>I have issues with his "Reasons to use NoSQL"

Looking at the author bio at the bottom, I believe it is "her".
This title seems editorialized: the title here on HN is ambiguous about whether the "reason" is "because of" or "to prevent", while the title of the actual article makes that clearer.

If drivers aren't getting paid enough to want to drive for a particular company, they should build the "tip" into the price, to make sure everyone gets paid enough. But the right response to good/bad service is a rating, not a tip. A field for a tip implies that the "real" price is higher than advertised, because only a monster wouldn't tip, and that bad service just means a lower tip. A rating system makes sure that all drivers must provide good service, and the company should be making sure they get paid accordingly.

Transportation isn't a service where it's acceptable to have good drivers who get paid more and bad drivers who get paid less, no matter what mechanism implements that pay differential. There should only be "good" drivers.

The fundamental conflict is that capitalism needs capital to move as freely as possible in order to grow while taxation requires control over the flow of capital. Governments balance these antagonistic requirements. The scale always dips in favor of capital until social cohesion starts to deteriorate.

Lyft allows for tipping via the App. I do it often, when a driver goes above the bare minimum of Point A -> Point B.

Having water bottles available in the car, good music or ability to put something of my choosing on, a good conversation, friendly driver, driver who looks for short cuts to cut down on the fare, etc.

Some drivers act like you're not even there, or don't have good "people skills", and it can sometimes make for an uncomfortable experience. Supporting those drivers that go above and beyond the minimum is something that encourages a better experience for me.
I live in a country where tipping basically doesn't exist. It's such a foreign concept to me that I'm afraid of going to the states. It's almost like removing all price tags and having to guess what things cost, with repercussion if you pay too little.
In the United States there are about 500 billionaires. There are also 150 million U.S. gun owners in a declining middle class where dead end temp work is a lifestyle for a large part of the population and basic social well-being and security is an "issue". I can tell you from first hand experience, when you are in that state ... you are not in your right mind. If I was one of those 500 people I would be very paranoid.

This misses a crucial point: higher taxes by definition transfer resources from private investments to public investments. But we know that too much public investment is inefficient ( Brazil, Soviet Union, Venezuela, etc ). So we need to make just the right amount of public investment and no more, and leave the rest to be invested by private sector. Tax rates should be set accordingly

I have gotten better at reading signs, but I remember when I first started driving down to NYC several years back. I got a parking ticket that was for $120. I remember trying to read the sign, and I could not make heads or tails of it. Now I just end up paying for garage parking. It can be a waste of money if your there for only 2 hours, but its still better than forking out $120.
You seem to be missing the point. Also they seem to be paid reasonably. It sounds like you just want more regulation.

Neither actually.

Product manager at fraud detection company Simility here. I'm very surprised Facebook hasn't put more effort into curbing fake accounts, makes me think it's very low priority for them. We have social network customers who are much smaller than FB, yet have gotten their fake account rates far below FB's.

One effective strategy we've employed not mentioned here is category mapping: if an account of type A, only targets accounts of type B for likes (especially if they ignore categories C, D, etc.), this is usually a high indicator of fraud. For example, one very common strategy is to create a fake account for an attractive female to friend many male accounts (especially relatively new accounts unaware of these tactic). This can be easily detected by analyzing the gender and account age of all targets and coming up with a diversity score. Low diversity score = likely fraudster.
I didn't believe it either!

Here's a video of the recently updated UI, showing how easy it is to [accidentally] activate Autopark by pressing the park button a second time. Note that the driver never has to touch the main screen to confirm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-JoZL9edlA

So when Tesla says the driver activated it by "a double-press of the gear selector stalk button, shifting from Drive to Park and requesting Summon activation," they don't mean that a series of three actions are required to activate Autopark (as some articles seem to think[1]). Tesla means that all of those actions are activated just by double-tapping the park button with no confirmation. That's some dangerous UX design if I've ever heard of it.

Hey guys, customizable scrollbar again - it's annoying! However I was asked to build a custom scrollbar in a SPA project, I tried almost all the scrollbar plugins in the Github and I just couldn't find a perfect one.

The last Uber ride I had, when traveling, I got a ten-minute diatribe on how terrible Uber was, how much better Lyft was, and how passengers could tip in cash, hint hint. Not enjoyable at all.
Adding to your very good points:

There are very good ORMs and frameworks that make working with SQL simpler. With baked in type checking and migrations, there is not a lot of need for NoSQL. Plus PostgreSQL and it's JSON data type basically made a lot of the popular NoSQL options obsolete.
Agree, as someone who grew up in a non-tipping country then became American later in life. I really like visiting countries where tipping is not only not done but actually "considered rude in their culture". Going to Japan in a few weeks...

Within the US I've made my peace with the tipping thing by simply always over-tipping (not excessively, but always 20%+ on meals and bar tab, for example). Although this costs me more money, I prefer to avoid the anxiety over whether the tip is sufficient, appropriate etc. I get to devote my brain-time to other things. I do follow the custom that business owners are not to be tipped.

fwiw when you say that tipping is pointless -- it is not because it serves the purpose of business owners to underpay their workers.
There are good reasons to tip a good driver beyond the stated cost of the service. Maybe they know the area well enough to get you through during rush hour. If you have a car seat you need to install and they can help quickly (as well as drive smoothly to keep the child from acting up) that is also a boon.

If any service is exceptional, I am always happy to tip, even if I am already paying the full price (and living wage).
My experience in Europe (edit: Spain and France in particular, England to a lesser extent) was that customer service was not very good. There was a general bad attitude toward customers, treating them more like a nuisance than the lifeblood of the business. It really made me appreciate the way we do things on this side of the pond.

Haskell doesn't seem to be a very good language for doing hard or soft realtime, or simulation (realtime games, flight simulation, robotics, industrial control etc.). On the other hand, given appropriate memory management which looks to be in the works, native Scala seems a pretty good fit.

It seems to me Scala is potentially much more "general purpose" than Haskell. In other words, "more practical".

As an American I agree completely. I know tipping fine for things like eating at restaurants, but there are tons of services I buy where I have literally no idea what constitutes a fair tip, and constantly wonder if I'm shortchanging people or overtipping. And of course you can't just ask the person because they feel weird about it, and you feel weird asking, and the whole thing is just annoying.

I get that it's a decent motivator to encourage good service, but I think in my entire 10 year consumer history I've left maybe 2 intentionally bad tips for poor service out of hundreds if not thousands of interactions. It can't be that big of a deal.
Statins alert over computer glitch
you're cute. wrong, but cute.

as the article cited 17-24y/o i'm guessing the 'poverty rate' is a little lower. please try to keep up. If you want to extrapolate the 17-24y/o demographic to include everyone, please do so when it actually applies - not to this conversation re: this article. Strawman arguments are universally known as bullshit.

So, since you're using you're extensive knowledge of McDonald's shift work, You'd already know that the corporation behind it offers college assistance and flex scheduling, right? of course you would because you're a smart guy.

also, in actuality, my cousin does work for McDonald's. He worked there for 10 years before buying his first (of 3 so far) franchise at the age of 28.

and while i never said self-study would absolutely get you the job you want, taking a 'lesser' job would get you to the next step and so on and so forth to GET the job you want. Its called WORK for a reason. Most people today work harder to get out of work than it would take to actually DO to the work itself.
I'm not much of an Uber customer. Maybe five trips a year when I am in the city where Uber is big. So maybe people like me don't matter. But:

Tipping would make the whole thing much worse. I would be much happier if they would raise their rates systemwide by whatever percentage is warranted, and pay appropriately. If I wanted a bad experience, I would take a taxi.

If they go this route, among other things they are opening the door to be Ubered by the next Uber.

The server you are describing I have never seen... even in the 90s. I have never seen a server where .htaccess was disabled AND you couldn't go one level up from www/public_html/htdocs/etc.

So now curiosity has gotten the best of me... is this a private lan or something? The only thing I can think of it is one of those situations where a University gives you a website but it is really really locked down.

Also, try starting it with a dot (".mytest.html") as a lot of servers prevent hosting up files that start with a dot.
