I find it odd to tip for professions where they earn decently; restaurant waiters don't earn much (they earn 'restaurant minimums' or even under the table) and rely on tips.

Uber and Lyft drivers earn decently ($20/hr+ in the bay area, $30/hr+ in NYC), and I wouldn't consider tipping them if I was earning similarly/less than they are. OTOH, if you're a high earner and paying a tip doesn't make a difference to you financially (but does to someone else), then you should do it!
Thanks, must have missed that.
It's all entirely hobby things.
Ok, makes sense. I got the point, and just focused on it, but I agree it could have been better written.
There's a great episode of Crap From The Past[0] about pop songs that started out as commercial jingles[1]. The most surprising one to me was the Carpenter's hit "We've only Just Begun".

This money is not just about the number of views. You are also getting the celebrity to endorse your product. I assume a somebody like Kim Kardashian would charge quite a hefty fee for appearing in TV commercial.
I've known several people who successfully went the Community College route. It's a GREAT way to get started, in most cases you'll actually learn something, and it's comparatively cheap.
> "the doctors apparently believe them to be useful enough to be ethical"

> I don't think ethics works that way.

I'm pretty sure that they do.

> Just because something is very useful doesn't necessarily mean that it's ethical.

OTOH, for lots of things (and surgical operations with inherent risks are pretty solidly on this list) utility is certainly relevant to (and a certain level, a prerequisite for) an action to be ethical, even if it is not sufficient alone to determine that the action is ethical.
The driver here is not supposed to be getting a livable wage, because the driver should be headed to their full time job that will provide them with a livable wage... the fee here (Google isn't even taking a cut) would be to create a minor incentive and make up for gas/wear-and-tear.
That's great. As someone who also does not use Facebook and Twitter, and saw the result this had on the social life he'd enjoyed before they rose to such preeminence in the field of mediating human social interaction, I find your experience to be lacking in universal applicability.
The project never went anywhere, unfortunately, and I haven't had time to look at it recently.

I have huge, uh, "datasets" around still, though.
They want to stay below the IRS caps on cost reimbursement for drivers (https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/individuals/standard-...). If drivers make more than that, they would have to carry special insurance and maybe be vetted.
TL;DR, the identified/named drug that may be repuposed to prevent Zika virus is called Niclosamide, wikipedia has already been updated[1] with its side benefit :)

Nicolsamide is also listed as WHO's "one of the most important medications needed in a basic health system."[1]

There should be more drug repurposing researches to be done but it's probably profit-prohibiting for the big pharmas :(

If only that were remotely true.

In many/most states, the minimum wage for a variety of jobs is not in the range of "livable". For example, minimum wage for restaurant jobs in Georgia is $2.13/hour [1]. They actually don't "get paid enough for this shit," so their attitude actually matches reality. Tipping is a necessary component of the compensation if we want to continue our practice of letting certain employers have exemptions from labor laws.

EDIT: $2.13/hour is $340.80 per month, if you are given enough hours to make full-time. Taxes etc. come out of that (you will probably see some of that money again when you file your taxes, for all the good it will do then).

(Yes, I know the employer is supposed to top-up the staff to e.g. $7.25/hr. That does not always/usually/ever happen.)

You are correct that paying people more than a pittance changes how they view their jobs.

Here is some more text, from directly below what you pasted.

Recital 15
==========

Third, measures going beyond such reasonable traffic management
measures might also be necessary to prevent impending network
congestion, that is, situations where congestion is about to
materialise, and to mitigate the effects of network congestion, where
such congestion occurs only temporarily or in exceptional
circumstances. The principle of proportionality requires that traffic
management measures based on that exception treat equivalent
categories of traffic equally. Temporary congestion should be
understood as referring to specific situations of short duration,
where a sudden increase in the number of users in addition to the
regular users, or a sudden increase in demand for specific content,
applications or services, may overflow the transmission capacity of
some elements of the network and make the rest of the network less
reactive. Temporary congestion might occur especially in mobile
networks, which are subject to more variable conditions, such as
physical obstructions, lower indoor coverage, or a variable number of
active users with changing location. While it may be predictable that
such temporary congestion might occur from time to time at certain
points in the network – such that it cannot be regarded as exceptional
– it might not recur so often or for such extensive periods that a
capacity expansion would be economically justified. Exceptional
congestion should be understood as referring to unpredictable and
unavoidable situations of congestion, both in mobile and fixed
networks. Possible causes of those situations include a technical
failure such as a service outage due to broken cables or other
infrastructure elements, unexpected changes in routing of traffic or
large increases in network traffic due to emergency or other
situations beyond the control of providers of internet access
services. Such congestion problems are likely to be infrequent but may
be severe, and are not necessarily of short duration. The need to
apply traffic management measures going beyond the reasonable traffic
management measures in order to prevent or mitigate the effects of
temporary or exceptional network congestion should not give providers
of internet access services the possibility to circumvent the general
prohibition on blocking, slowing down, altering, restricting,
interfering with, degrading or discriminating between specific
content, applications or services, or specific categories
thereof. Recurrent and more long-lasting network congestion which is
neither exceptional nor temporary should not benefit from that
exception but should rather be tackled through expansion of network
capacity.
Sure, but also think about:

* Can we expect mega corps to go "Hey, this loophole would allow me to only pay 50 euro in tax completely legally, but I think I'll pass on it this time"? In a profit based economy, it's expected that people will try to maximize their profits/minimize the tax that they pay within a certain framework. If Apple did nothing illegal, then it's kind of hard to say that they did something immoral. Or at least it's complicated.

* If we're ignoring legalities and only talking about what we like and what seems 'fair' to us then yes, Apple has a dirty history of using Eastern child labour, etc. But at this point, it's also ethically complicated about whether it's worse for Apple to have these few billion dollars of if they should go towards EU coffers to finance the bombing of the Middle East, etc.

I'm not advocating a pro or anti Apple stance here -- but I think most people in this thread are oversimplifying the case to the point of error, hence my original remark.
I agree that they should pay what's due. Absolutely. Although I think in this case that is very murky because of the agreement they have with Ireland.

I think the only fair thing to do in this situation is to tax apple going forward but to not punish Apple for assuming that an agreement with Ireland was valid. That one is on the Irish government not Apple.

I was simply replying to the parent post saying "My small business has to" since if there is going to be an emotional argument I think it should be in the other direction. "I shouldn't have to pay either" vs "They should pay what I pay"
Sounds like a solid ground for a class action suite.

This happens in many places i guess. But when a company gets into picture to facilitate this, things like safety/insurance comes into picture. I am sure Google might have already figured that out, if not any small crime incident by a driver would cause huge reputational damage.
The cars behind you could easily reverse, if they were computer controlled. As could the bin lorry.
While I agree with you agree with your general argument from an abstract and pedantic point of view, OTOH, I think "head transplant" is a lot cleaner and more convenient to use than "all-of-the-body-except-the-head transplant", without any loss of clarity in practical communication.

At some point, you have to accept that language is meant to be used, and that's more important than being abstractly consistent.
$20/hr+ in the bay area, $30/hr+ in NYC

Neither of which makes for a "decent" living, particularly if you correct that for wear & tear.
> if tipping is an option, through a kind of cultural game-theoretic pressure, the situation will always devolve into the restaurant norm. at least that's how it is in the states

In the UK tipping in restaurants is optional and, while it sounds really weird to say this, I don't think the waiters and waitresses seem to care either way. I don't get a different reaction from them if I tip or if I don't. They don't seem elated if I tip a lot or disappointed if I tip a little. Nobody seems to care and this situation seems stable as it's been this way as long as I've been an adult.

Keeping up with everything Google is doing is itself a full time job.

Most companies and hilariously the owners have a policy to not hire these graduates.

These schools have high pressure sale teams who target the bottom of the barrel or the clueless leaving the tax payer on the hook for defaulted loans.

Its no different than scammers who target the elderly or children with false claims.

That's interesting. Do you know how many movie have been blocked from being shown in Italy because of unnatural product placement?

For example, there was a different Bond movie where everybody was using Sony phones. That was pretty unnatural because Sony wasn't a terribly popular phone brand at the time.
A segfault on null is fine if the language defines it to be OK (i.e. dereferencing null is reliably a crash), but most environments that allow interacting with null (C, C++, LLVM IR) have dereferencing it be undefined behaviour, i.e. the compiler may optimise in ways that mean code that naively results in a null dereference/segfault do not do that and instead result in random memory corruption.

Note that Nim uses C as an intermediate language for compilation, so unchecked dereferences of possibly-null pointers are not memory safe.
Can we stop calling every new taxi service "ride sharing"? Are people "sharing" anything in any meaningful way? The drivers car isn't shared, he sells a ride, that's a Taxi. A medallion or other arbitrary system doesn't define what a taxi is.

Can I tell uber I want to share a ride to the airport with any stranger? (my taxi co will do that)?

Ask HN: Handle my two SaaS platforms as one single brand or 2 independent ones?
Here’s the brief background story: I am running a Digital Business Card platform called Pixelhub (http://pixelhub.me) since 2009. The platform allows users to build a personal page that works as their contact card and personal hub.
While the service has evolved over the years, we have noticed that there’s many people (mostly freelancers) that don’t have the need for an independent personal page (as Pixelhub.me offers), but would like to use Pixelhub’s vCard import feature (Pixelhub offers a call-to-action for this) with a business page they already use.

I started working on a minimum viable product around the idea of offering a device-independent call-to-action that would encourage website visitors to save people’s contact information to easily get in touch at a later date.
During development I nicknamed this new tool “Hellobox”, I even registered the domain gethellobox.com. The first , very basic, version has been published on monday and first beta users are playing around with it. This early open beta (you can see it live here: http://gethellobox.com) has basically been published to collect feedback and opinions, and see where it can take us.
The big question now is how to handle “Hellobox”, once product/market fit has been reached. Initially I wanted to treat it as an independent platform, but I’ve currently got doubts if this is the right way to go.
The alternative would be to gather both products under the Pixelhub brand and let the user decide whether they want to build an entire personal hub or just add a vCard call-to-action to an existing website. I could imagine a landing page split into two parts, product A left, product B right.

It’s a difficult decision to take and I’m looking forward to reading what the HN community will say about it!

You've equated biological definitions of "life" with other definitions, and then attempted to preemptively dismiss all possible disagreement with your preferred definition. Philosophical disagreement absolutely exists on these points, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Biological definitions of life are not the only interesting definitions. From the point of view of conscious beings, a functioning conscious mind comes a lot closer to our practical boundary between "alive" and "dead"; it seems completely reasonable to consider a mind "alive" even in the absence of all else. A body without a mind is much less interesting, even if by some biological definition it's still "alive". (Conversely, we'd call a person dead even if some individual component cells in their body were still alive.)

Your automatic assumption that life requires a physical body seems entirely unsupported. And regarding reproduction, there's a trivial counterexample: a person who has lost the ability to reproduce is still alive.

And even biological definitions can vary; I certainly don't see any obvious reason why a biological definition of life needs to include an end. Death is not inherent, and hopefully it's a bug we can fix.

I love Transmission, although nowadays I rarely use it. But this is really disconcerting to have happened twice this year, which means the developers aren't really doing well on the security front. Since it's open source, why don't they just move to Github Pages for hosting and Github for development? (Gitlab is great too!) Self hosting Trac and website, plus self hosted Jenkins from my understanding, leaves so many attack vectors.

I'm really not. What I'm disagreeing with is the idea that exercise is defined as physical activity without productive value. It certainly could be that but only because that's what we now frame it as, which itself is a purely contemporary idea. No wonder "exersice" today seems so pointless. Much of the modern world is without the ritual it once possessed. And then we defend our new ways as more pure. For me, it's a head scratcher.

You will completely ruin that body in 2 months and have to transplant yourself on another fit body to maintain the fitness.

I spoke to a lawyer and the recommendation I got was to go with a Delaware LLC.

The lawyer stated that the business law is more concrete and predictable in Delaware. If you have to go to court, it is going to be easier on your company.

If you plan on raising funding for your startup, go with a C corp instead as it is easier to deal with things. You can always convert an LLC to a C corp but that is more hassle later.

If you do not plan on taking funding, and you want a lower accountant bill, go with the LLC. The pass through income on your schedule C is a lot cheaper to deal with.

I'm extremely skeptical of that claim, too. As far as I can tell SpiderMonkey for example will emit practically exactly the same code for >= and <= as other comparisons. In loop optimization SpiderMonkey will actually sometimes rewrite eg. `x < y` as `x + 1 <= y` to put linear inequalities into a standard form for analysis [0].

They also recommend using `let` and `const` over `var` for performance reasons in the "Scope" section, but I have to ask whether they benchmarked that at all. Engines may grow to take advantage of these signals over time for further optimization, but at the moment many ES6 features incur a performance penalty just because the code behind them is less mature. I don't know specifically about `let`/`const` but I'd be pleasantly surprised to learn that they boost performance anywhere yet.
