I'm from the Netherlands but have lived in Finland and Switzerland as well, and in both those countries service is better than in the Netherlands.

In Finland nobody gives tips so it has nothing to do with that, just that, generally speaking, the Dutch don't seem the most service minded people.

This year, some very popular youtube channels have made series involving poor production quality in iconic costumes.

These channels gained their popularity by using such well known IPs from various rights holders - marvel, disney, etc.

They've been going strong for months without any sign of DMCA takedowns. They don't seem to fall under fair use and they're not parodies.

Can someone explain why youtube hasn't taken them down?
Precisely that! But apart from the inability to predict table occupancy (for which you could theoretically come up with some ML solution), the other issue is that from a strict economic sense, having people occupy a table for 3 hours vs 1 hour while paying the same amount of money is a singificant opportunity cost to the business. In essence, from the perspective of the restaurant, people who are having a 3-hour meal and a long conversation are using a resource for which they're not paying, while other potentially paying customers are being turned away.

A nice side effect of the tipping culture in the US is that this inefficiency is eliminated. That's why I find it hard to believe that businesses will find it in their best interest to eliminate tips.
bombed generator not dam....bombing dams was banned under the Geneva conventions.

"According to Article 56 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, “works or installations containing dangerous forces, namely dams, dikes and nuclear electrical generating stations, shall not be made the object of attack, even when these objects are military objectives, if such attack may cause the release of dangerous forces and consequent severe losses among the civilian population.”

Short of ordinances requiring that information be displayed, you're right, it's probably not ever going to be easy to find. It's enough for me if businesses that treat their employees well are encouraged to make that information known. Businesses that are hiring will usually list benefits in their "apply now" signage, so that's a start.
It amazes me that people on HN have anecdotes for everything.
A Mysterious Virus That Could Cause Obesity
I used to wait tables. They hate the idea of ending tipping because servers almost without exception make much, much more than any of the kitchen staff. Eliminating ripping and raising the base wage would almost always be a pay cut. I worked at a buffet, not anything fancy, and it was easy to make $20/hr. No employer was going to pay that for the work I did.
Unlikely that this just works. T&M equipment was often not based on standard motherboards, even in the XP-firmware era. For example on some scopes there were parts on the mainboard that interfaces a proprietary interconnect to PCIe of the CPU/NB; the mainboard itself was kind-of-but-not-really µATX.

Some more recent designs seem to be standard µATX with standard PCIe, though, so these should be possible to use with virtualisation and the mandatory IOMMU for the proprietary hardware (Feature locks / DRM might be cranky, tho).

And before the mainstream OS era these were usually 100 % custom jobs, completely unlike a PC. 68k, MIPS, PPC, and even proprietary designs were used.
If that's one of the most anti-male comments that you've been exposed to in a while, the internet is a safe space for men.

It seemed to me more of a rationalization for the behavior of abusive men; that the reason they're abusive is because they haven't been "regulated" enough, not because they're selfish, or stupid, or enjoy hurting people. It seems the kind of excuse that women make to excuse men, and to excuse themselves staying with abusive men.
In the UK or rest of Europe that's fine, in the US 10% is grossly offensive. (Which IMO is insane but it is what it is.)

In many grocery stores the checkout lane have two people: the cashier and a 'bagger' who will bag the groceries for you and, if requested, will bring them out and load them into your car.

The bagger sometimes gets a tip, especially if they are handling heavy items like cat litter.

(Baggers are common in grocery stores with large parking lots: so they were common growing up in a mid-sized city in the Midwest but I've never seen one in NYC)
No, tension is what I meant.

Imagine the pile hammer hitting the top of the pile. This impulse is transmitted down the length of the pile at the speed of sound as a wave. There exists a point where the wave gets to the end of the pile (this is at the pile tip) and the compression front attempts to continue which results in tension (eg - the pile tip is dragging itself forward with the energy). This is mostly seen with soft soils where end reaction is not sufficient to provide a hard "stop" on the pile.

For hard ground, the opposite can occur where the driving energy reflects at the pile tip. This can result in huge compressive forces that crush (not crack) the concrete due to the two compressive waves (one new wave from the next hammer strike and the reflected wave from the previous hammer strike) stacking due to superposition.

The reason that this failure mechanism wasn't noted by me is that steel piles suffer the same issue, so it is not a good reason to use steel over concrete piling.

As you note, the solution to both issues is the use of a shoe and control of the hammer stroke.

I should have been more clear, I guess. Driven concrete pile is not used in the USA/Canada in my experience. When deep concrete foundations are used they are typically drilled in, for the reasons cited above.

There are obviously times when concrete piles are cheaper and will get the job done even with the risks above. This is most likely for smaller buildings where loadings are relatively light and pile lengths are therefore short.
My understanding is that concrete resists the compression of the ram impact well, but the shock wave reflects back and causes tension which then triggers failure. This tension is the point that needs to be controlled.

I'm pretty sure Uber has done their research into how to make this work. It's probably not a question of whether they can solve this, it's most likely a question of what they've already done to solve it. This announcement is probably them just getting ready to open it at beta scale. Pretty sure this isn't an MVP esque landing page where someone said "what if we did Uber for freight?" (just want to make it clear that those are my words and totally not what you said :) ). My guess is that Uber already has a list of small partners they've manually brought on. If history is any indication, they'll do whatever subsidizing they can to own this market.
What exactly do you object to in any of those three sentences as being sexist? I don't understand what anti-male means to you.
I think when you get out of the food service industry (at least in the U.S.) tipping is more fluid. A tour guide or a ski instructor for example, while I would say tips are customary the "rules" are much less codified so it's largely more in the category of optional

Nice article, but I was surprised to read that array accesses are not range checked for speed concerns. The emacs byte code interpreter is not known to be a very fast one, I doubt that the range checks would make a significant difference in run time. If anything, byte codes should bring high levels of safety.

As far as I can tell, that's how tipping works in France (and I would assume most mediterranean countries).
I live in Greece, and it is an optional extra here.
If you pay with a card, a lot of times there is a menu on the POS which you choose a percentage for tipping, which ranges from 0% upto I dont remember how much (but a lot).

Personally I always give a generous tip, (unless the server intentionally does something bad), just because it feels good to. It is not charity or pity for low wage. It is just that I would welcome a tip too if I were in the waiter's shoes, no matter how much my wage would be.
FWIW - On the last Thinkpad I bought (the X220) the touchpad was notably worse under than Windows with the official vendor drivers compared with Linux using whatever came out of the box. Two finger scrolling comes to mind - on Linux it worked smoothly, but with Windows, there was a considerable lag between me scrolling on the touchpad, and scrolling actually happening in the application.
I think you make a good point, but just to clarify, I wasn't saying the story was very anti-male. It's that most of the highly rated comments are complaining about men as a group.

Maybe a better phrasing is the highest volume of anti-male comments I've seen in a while.
Only way i have seen tipping happen where i'm from is on a "keep the change" basis at bars and similar.
They are implying that women are better than men.
About 14 percent of the incoming freshman said their families earn above $500,000

Sure it does. If everybody in the US had equal access to primary and secondary education and Harvard had income-blind admissions, do you really think that number would be so high?
Sorry but this is utterly cynical hogwash. I've tipped very well at places I've gone because a waiter was extremely enthusiastic, helpful and passionate about their service. They mastered the menu offering and offered helpful information as I was making my meal choices. They treated me like a guest in their home. Their attitude toward their work had nothing to do with me as a first time visitor in most circumstances.

Unfortunately it's proprietary, because of unclear license terms about distribution of source code and modifications (saying that you cannot charge a "copyright license fee") and it clearly says that patentable ideas in the source code are not licensed.
The answer you want is to use Bootstrap 3. The reason is that you are new and tutorials will be written for that version. Although generally speaking I would start with 4, you also don't want to burn out on stupid unfinished/incomplete work. Don't burn out when you are just starting!

As someone who relies on a bonus the way that waiters rely on tips, I dislike bonuses very much.

It's possible that they're unavoidable given the volatile nature of business revenues and perhaps a system with no bonuses would result in lower total compensation.
Here's a pickle: I agree with the direction of this article, but I don't agree with most of the individual points and statements. I think the expectation of tipping in the US is in general a bad thing, but has enough upsides for business owners and some higher-earning servers (and even some customers) that it will be hard to dislodge. I also think the incentive for any business to change is probably not as high as the author's wishful thinking makes out.

I mostly disagree that "it’s robbery", or it's some kind of unpleasant surprise at the end of the meal for the customer. Tipping is not a secret. You know it going in. You might not like it but it's not a new thing that gets sprung on you at the end of the meal. If you can't afford to tip at the level you want to, you probably won't enjoy eating there. It is too costly for you regardless of the printed menu prices, because you know in advance that if you experience service you really love, you're going to be delighted and you'll want to be generous with a tip - but if you feel like you can't afford the extra 20%, that will be unpleasant for you and the server.

Printed Price + Tip + Tax is the cost of many services in the US. It is not an ambush. I still prefer non-tipping cultures, like where I grew up, but I accept that this is the real cost of things here.

There are complexities related to the psychology of putting cheaper prices on the menu than you really end up paying, I agree with that, but it is not as simple as many of us seem to think.

Much of this article, and many of these comments, seem to ignore the realities of the complicated and entangled cultural accident that tipping the US is. It might be better to unravel it - but it will be difficult, and it will have costs.

The idea of separate charging for food and service acknowledges a certain orthogonality in the two activities, and also offers the service staff a measure of unbundled independence, in the diner's perception. It reflects the tradition that serving food professionally is a real skill and is partially unrelated to the food itself.

in France 15% service charge ivs built in, it means service staff are professionals as they get paid properly, and I never experienced diners convincing themselves that the meal was bad as a result.

Personally always find this moaning about tipping, which seems to afflict a large though thankfully not majority proprtion of the population, selfish and small minded.

If you don't like paying for a genuine service, ie. someone at your beck and call, stay at home.

I like the idea of an electronics kit with instructions.

But (and I'm sorry if this sounds negative but I'm just FED UP) I'm so SICK of freaking subscription services. Can't you guys just rely on interested customers coming back if they want to? The way I see it, there's absolutely no relation between the message you have on the site to teach people electronics and make a few bucks while you're at it, and the need for customers to have accounts, registration, subscription and all of that crap. Just let me buy the kit I'm interested in and be done with it! With so many subscription services around, I'm following a policy of immediately disregarding anything following the same model, specially if there's really no need for it. Make a one-time purchase option, with no registration or crappy spammy emails and I'd be interested (yes i know you won't share my details with 3rd party but you'll hammer me with emails on every freaking occasion I know.)
For two years in a row Rubin has given talks about Perl, "exposing issues", in talks that are 99% straight lies or at the very least gross misrepresentations. They cannot in any good conscience be characterized as anything other than intentional trolling and spreading of FUD.

He has been thanked by CCC orga directly for his contributions as well, thus making it clear that they support such shenanigans.

As far as i am concerned, every talk at CCC is highly suspect, since they either don't give a damn as to whether it is correct, or they actively support talks being given in bad faith to an unsuspecting audience.
That is outrageous? In my view you are skirting the truth (consciously or not). We are so concerned with human morality that we can reach conclusions full of sophistry and half truth like this.

Without making a value judgement, the uncomfortable reality is that there are too many people and the most effective policy would be one that addresses human over-population.

Yes people could conceivably reduce their foot print by urbanising, but economic growth also has environmental impact - and probably in some unforeseen ways in the region.

Ground based experiments are testing particular models of dark matter. We know it (or some modification of gravity) exists due to its gravitational effects. Direct detection could potentially rule out the modified gravity explanation, and tell us more about what it is, but it appears disfavoured anyway (due to bullet cluster et.al.).

The only models of modified gravity I know that are more than ad hoc modifications of individual equations, and are actually complete theories, introduce new fields anyway (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor%E2%80%93vector%E2%80%93...).

Maybe I'm ruining it for everyone, but when I've gone to New York's budding "no tip" restaurants, I've thrown a cash tip on the bill.

Guess what happened next? I was asked my name, and the next times I went, I got seated faster, comped chef's recommendations and a generally friendlier interaction with my server. Same thing happens abroad, where the locals don't tip well.

I don't understand how people get shocked by fundamental rules of incentives.

(Side note: this works everywhere. No, I don't put cash on my banker's or retail clerk's counter. But I do make an effort, particularly when doing things they'll earn a commission on, to do my business with them. In exchange for the minor hassle I have a better experience and get an enjoyable relationship out of what would otherwise be drudgery.)
