I would accept the same data humans have always used for these calculations, orienting locations in space history. In this case, that would be a series of images that show the motions of the stars and telemetry data that matches it, much better from multiple angles. It's super easy to provide, super hard to fake, and as definitive as it gets.

LVT changes #2, because the ongoing tax cost of putting a new high rise on your empty plot of land is no different than it being empty or it having 4 single family homes. The property tax bill make having a single family home an expensive luxury in dense cities because of the high land tax relative to the amount of improvements on it.

In our current scheme, improving property is disincentivized because it increases your property tax bill with reassessments.

If you aren't getting service worthy of tips, don't tip. No one is going to stop you on your way out. You may get worse service the next time you come back. However, why would you go back if the service was bad the first time?
It seems crazy to me that you're doing this as a kind of social service for the waiter or waitress, while helping to withhold owed tax revenue that could be used for other people who may be in need of social services.

I'm also kind of annoyed at the companies that say "we allow remote work, but you have to be in the USA". Feels like kind of a cop out.

Not sure how easy it is to find jobs there, but maybe that's a job board you could create? You're probably not the only one with this problem, and might be a win-win-win for you, african companies, and other developers.
Yes? I really dont see the difference here. In both cases they are paid. In non tip environments usually even well better because its a nice salary plus random tips here and there

Public Speaking Advice: 6 of the Best from Carmine Gallo

Really well done. I will recommend this to my local school district.

I don't live in the US, but have started rounding prices up to roughly 10%. I hope this tipping isn't going to drive wages down. Should I stop?
i'm curious to know if abolishing tipping reduces performance? it seems like there's no reason to put in extra effort if all of them are paid the same and that the worst performer could be paid the same as the best.
Wage slavery is especially rampant in the food and beverage industry where low margins and high competition are the norm.

Including "tips" (you could still tip for extraordinary service) as well as sales tax in the price might be the first step towards more transparency and fair pay for everyone involved (owners to waiters) in what essentially amounts to a luxury service anyway.
Bungling US govt puts wrong site on pirate list
This transition (from a tipping system to a "service included" system) happened in France in the 70s.

I'm personally, as a French and as a customer, much more confortable with the new system, and I always a bit ill at ease when dining out in countries that still use the old system: fear of making a miscalculation, of forgetting the tip, of not giving an amount that would be satisfying for the waiter/waitress, of the money not going to the actual person who would deserve it (especially when paying with a credit card), etc.
>I can't get a job because the requirements and qualifications is way too demanding ...

You seem overly concerned about this. If a company wants to prevent themselves from hiring someone perfectly capable of doing the job (namely you), then they're probably foolish and you don't want to work there anyways.

On the other hand, it's possible you're mentally hung up on having a desired skill set that's seemingly forever out of reach. If that's the case, just resign yourself to the fact that software development requires perpetual learning in a field where the ground is always shifting beneath you.

Keep in mind that a typical senior developer is just someone who has enough experience to know how to learn fast and not fall victim to common pitfalls in the process.

I suggest finding a job at a nice place to work where you'll be doing something that you enjoy, then worry about the technology stack later. Good companies usually understand that both whiteboard-style interviews and formal degree requirements are bad. The best ones explicitly state that they don't care if you're inexperienced with their stack, so long as you have solid experience.

>I really feel like giving up.

If that means starting a company as some of the other comments suggest, don't. You're 24. Enjoy your youth while it lasts, don't piss it away doing a startup.
Even assuming conversion works flawless, I don't think full migration is possible.

I bet archive.org has zillions of files that now aren't easily readable anymore. Do you think it is realistic to expect them to fetch every single copy from storage and convert it? I bet they cannot even find _all_ of them, given that documents may be embedded in mailbox files of various formats, in disk images, in usenet posts, in archives using various obsolete compression methods, embedded using OLE in other files, etc.

Even if they can find them, conversion in-place may not be possible. A file inside some archive file may grow in size, making the archive file larger than the archive file format allows.

For example, a few years after they declared conversion done, somebody could find an old CD and upload an old brochure or logo. A converted version may already be available, but how would that somebody know that that file looks the same? All they have are the files, and they are different.

Except for scale, archive.org isn't exceptional here. Large corporations face the same issue. They likely will bite the bullet, though, keep around some way to convert files for a few years after they declare to be 'done', and accept that some data will be lost after that.

I've been to many restaurants here in the UK (and in Europe) where the "service charge" is automatically applied to the bill. You're not expected to tip at these places.

Many people don't realise; If you receive bad service, complain and the charge can be either reduced or waived altogether.

[edit for clarity]
You really shouldn't believe whatever you hear: whoever told you that grossly misinformed you. Even if we assume that "spent on nukes" is hyperbole for "spent on the military", the military is 16% of the federal budget, absolutely dwarfed by the rest of the budget (which mostly consists of items fairly described as public services). And that's the federal budget alone: state taxes obviously don't even have _that_ small proportion allocated to military spending so are even more heavily predisposed to social services.

The reason why people don't usually run into this is because C tries really hard to decay your arrays to pointers to first element, so there are very few cases where it actually comes up - sizeof(array) and &array are some of the few. On top of that, writing down the type of such an array is not exactly obvious, and requires parentheses:

int (*p)[10];

This all is much more interesting in C++, because there, in conjunction with references, this lets you write functions that take arrays as arguments and know their length. Like so:

template<size_t N>
void foo(const int (&a)[N]) {
for (size_t i = 0; i < N; ++i)
cout << a[i];
}

int a[10];
foo(a);
Any server who drops out because of that will simply be replaced. Waiters and waitresses are constantly churning through restuarants in any case, so the impact on business ought to be minimal.
> Tips are also handled differently in different states, but in New York, by law, they can be pooled and distributed only to “front of house” employees: those who work in the dining room, like waiters, bartenders and backwaiters (formerly known as busboys).

That really makes no sense to me. When I go to a restaurant, I value the food a lot more than the service. I've come back again to restaurants where I hated the service but loved the food. I've never returned to a restaurant where I loved the service but the food was so-so. So, if I had to choose, I'd be tipping the kitchen staff only.

But as a European, I don't really like the practice of tipping and the rather pushy service from waiters trying to increase the bill (and come every 5 minutes asking me if everything's alright) that comes with it. It's also so much easier to not have to think about tipping at the end of a meal.
Root domain on a CDN? Don’t expect optimal performance
It doesn't matter what it is a pointer to, type-wise. It is still a pointer one-past-the-end, and it is being dereferenced.

Also, &arr is not a pointer to a pointer. It's a pointer to an array. Specifically, its type is int(* )[5] in this example, and so when you dereference it, the result is of type int[5]. So if you do e.g. sizeof(* &arr + 1), you'll get 5 * sizeof(int).
Sounds like you like bribery and skipping queues.
Add mental strain of thinking should I and how much should I tip. Also hassle if you don't happen to have change readily available. Sometimes it's just easier to go to a place where you don't have to think this.

On a serious note, I believe the befitting proverbial advice is, "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime."

You said "learning", so I'd still suggest learning the actual CSS. Of course, when you become a bit comfortable with it, you'd have already learned Bootstrap.

Here is how I'd for;

- Use Bootstrap 4 or even 3 to learn your CSS. Use it, go through the source codes and learn from there.
- Keep doing CSS (feel free to try other frameworks too) and you should be on your way.

The analogy I can find is that quite a lot of people "learned" jQuery. Then, they figured out that it is, well, JavaScript. They got intrigued, went backward and learned JavaScript. Many enterprising developers advance and 'learn' other frameworks too.

I used to be in the camp where my take was, "learn the actual raw CSS and JavaScript - that's the way to learn." But my experience dealing with juniors, and new developers is that not everyone can just learn something. In fact, a lot of people do not know how to learn things the right way. They need to first learn to learn new things.

So, take it easy on yourself, start with something you can start off (and produce something you're proud of) and begin learning real CSS in the process.

Well, my team specialize mostly in fixing projects shoved down by developers using Bootstrap, where the enterprises needed to go to market quickly. Once they reach critical bloat-stage, we go in to clean-up, make the sites 10-30 times faster by removing all of Bootstrap and other frameworks and staying really lean (use a minimal framework or a very low footprint one.) We, sometimes, end up developing the "Bootstraps" for these companies.

I just spent 10 days in New Delhi, India, where they add between 25% and 33% to your bill, before tips, in the name of VAT, Service Tax and Service Charge.

It's a world of difference. So much trust is lost.

You bring up a huge an often overlooked point. The owner makes the same amount of money if a customer chooses whether or not to tip. But stands to lose money if a customer is unable to afford the meal and ends up not coming in. In a business where every dime counts, it adds up.

Ask HN: What is the best way to validate a startup idea?
I want to start a company this year, what is the best and cheapest way to validate if my idea is valid
No, he is correct. The C and C++ standards do allow pointers past the last element of an array to be produced via a pointer to an element of said array. They also have a provision where a pointer to a nonarray value is treated as if it were a 1-element array (so you can do "int x; int* p = *x + 1"). But in this case, the value is obviously an array object, and it's not an element to another array; hence, it is not legal to do &arr + 1 ("... otherwise, the behavior is undefined").

This is 6.3.6 "Additive operators" in ISO C90 standard, for anyone curious.
I hate tipping for all the awkward situations that can arise, when there is confusion about the expected amount for the "average" tip. Recently I attended a dinner for which the attending group had gotten a food voucher and only had to pay the drinks. Which we did with a nice tip - for the drinks. Neither we nor the giver of the voucher had preempted, that the waiter expected a tip for the food too. Which of course is debatable, as here in Germany, service is considered to be included in the prices. So, at the end, no one was happy, without any malicious intends on our side.

Traditionally, there was little tipping here in Germany, as service is included in the prices. One would usually just round up the cents. But with growing internationalization, tips started to grow - while technically still not required, there is now a strong expectancy of some tipping, adding to the confusion about the right amount.

At least, as long the basic service is included in the posted price, one can use the tipping as a feedback instrument. Rarely, I cut the tip to zero when I was very unhappy with the service provided, while I am happy to pay a generous tip, if I thought I had been serviced very well.

Not just pointer arithmetic; also pointer comparisons. One-past-the-end pointer must compare greater-than any other pointer into that array.

So an implementation that could stick an array at the very end of the address space, and do wraparound for one-past-the-end so that it's represented by all bits zero, would then need to special-case that zero value when performing any pointer comparisons.

There's also an other reason to go with the "almost released" one when starting a new project: bootstrap has been historically painful to migrate.

Upgrading major bootstrap version means changing class names in whole codebase (like the classes for grid system), changing html code for some components which have been updated, and having to remove other components altogether and go with your own sauce because components were removed.

This has been the case for all previous major bumps, and there is no sign of it being any different this time, so better save a migration and go straight with bs-4.
Is it just me? I don't recite the built-in functions (intentionally) before I code. I will look into doc when I want to find a shortcut. It's very efficiently.

Take Bootstrap as an example, I open the following doc:
http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/alerts/

If I want a Modal, I will check Modal doc (accurately, I jump to CODE PATTERN and copy it, not starting to read doc explanation.) and use it. After few times, you will memorize the basic by heart. (understands the basic, then you can create your snippets or something. Myself, I still open the doc to see the visual examples. Anyway, I coded with a lot of frameworks in different projects at the same time, not just bound to Bootstrap. You need to find your best workflow yourself)

"customize things" seems not suitable to the questioner at the moment. If he understands basic CSS, he may not ask this question. :)

It might reduce competition within the restaurant, but competition between restaurants remains. certain restaurants can prioritise service by paying their servers more if that's their focus.

Theres also a perverse incentive in that, like a good UI, good service shouldn't actually be noticed, so how does a server make themselves noticed (to receive a tip) while not being noticed?
