I'm not sure but it might be that providers of client-side email software that includes spam filters have just given up.

Personally, I have been relying exclusively on server-side spam filters (GMail in my case) for years now and it works well enough. Server-side spam filters on the other hand cannot know for sure you're not expecting emails in Chinese. I suppose that's what these spammers are capitalising on in that case.

Spam filtering on the client side is expensive, both in terms of the effort required to create the software and regarding CPU cycles on your local machine. Server-side spam filters like Google's use simple voting algorithms that scale very well. On the client side you need language models tuned specifically to your email usage in order to avoid false positives. These models and the training required are quite complex. Simple Bayesian filters simply aren't good enough anymore to beat today's sophisticated spam creation algorithms.

It's a bit like an inverse P vs. NP problem: Spam looking like natural language on the surface can easily be created but verifying that it's spam is very hard, on a local level at least.

Same experience on my first trip to the US. The taxi ride from airport to hotel was $12. I didnt have small notes on me as i had just changed my money, so i gave him a $20 note.

I waited and he just looked at me incredulously and asked "What? Do you want CHANGE??". I apologised and said i forgot about the tip thing and perhaps he could just give me a couple of singles as change. I thought that basically 40% tip was a little high. He gave me a couple of bucks back with ill grace.

Pretty much turned me off the whole expected tipping culture altogether.

But the damn isn't there just to provide power. Remember back when it was built Iraq exported power, in the form of oil.

It's also there to regulate the flow of the river, which commonly floods the surrounding, crop-growing region.
it incentivizes the worker to do well at their job

However, tipping only exists in certain jobs, and apparently people who do other jobs do them just fine in the US. So tipping doesn't seem to be necessary.

By the way, I also think the tipping issue is a significant annoyance when going to the US. I love visiting the US and definitely it's not a reason for not going (and I don't think the GP meant that either), but probably my most uncomfortable moments there (excluding when I was detained at customs, I think due to having the same name as a criminal) have been when I got disapproving or even downright angry looks for (unintentionally) not giving the expected tip due to not knowing all the details of customs by state, restaurant type, etc.

I can't help but ask a bigger picture question: "What are you trying to do or what is your end goal"?

If you are trying to roll out some new software for a startup or project and you want it to look good and semi unique then I recommend just buying a theme with all the necessary components (dashboard, graphs, whatever) you need. Themes are pretty cheap these days. Usually one of these themes has picked some sort of "foundation" library and you can then learn that.

Basically force yourself to pick by necessity and not what the "future" should be...
So not true.

I don't tip the checkout staff at the supermarket. Service is fine. I don't tip my accountant. Service is fine. I don't tip the car valet. Service is fine. I don't tip the waiter. Service is fine.

Why should the waiter provide poor service uniquely amongst all these untippes service providers?

If you experienced poor service in a non-tipping culture, it's not because the server knew there was no tip coming. It's because you had a bad server.

The evidences indicates that tipping does not improve service.

... and many more.

Especially in cultures where it's expected. I see people get awful service sometimes and then they tip. Tipping in restaurants in the US is not about service. It's about being able to pay employees below minimum wage and make them dance like monkeys to pay the rent.
Exactly. It's false advertisement, and wouldn't be acceptable in most countries that care about such things.
Void: A quine that hides JavaScript using 0 width variables
The labor laws in the USA are extremely bizarre. Wait staff have a different, much lower, minimum wage than other workers. The restaurant is required to pay them the regular minimum wage if their tips do not make up the difference, and this is a source of many labor complaints.

For most wait staff this is not an issue. Their tips put them well above minimum wage status, but that is one of the big drivers of the tipping culture in the USA. Many of us know (as in had to pay our rent that way) that if you don't tip the waiter 20-25% it dramatically impacts their income. But that money cannot be shared with the back of house staff.

For high end restaurants this has a real impact on their ability to keep young kitchen professionals (and its also a driver of why so many undocumented workers work in low end kitchens, its a very poorly paying job in almost all cases).

The problem isn't just one of power. It's also (ironically) flood management. That reservoir allows Iraq to store water from years of plenty (and prevent downstream flooding) for years of drought when that extra water will be needed for farming, drinking, etc.

It just means that the company doesn't want to deal with legal and accounting/taxation overhead of hiring outside of the country.

That really confused the whole discussion as the current situation is tax on land + improved value, making it look like you were arguing from the other side. No tax at all is anyway taking it to the extreme as the government need money, so it becomes merely an academic exercise.

I never thought about the fact that a billion is "just" a thousand times a thousand times a thousand.

So I thought of something I could picture a thousand of - for example millimeters. A thousand mm is just 1 meter, so I can easily see/picture a billion of something (cubic millimeters of air) right in front of me (as 1m x 1m x 1m). Neat!

Tipping is essential. It's the most common generosity exercise in everyday life. It gives us a chance to flex a muscle we don't flex often enough.

We should be doing it more, not less. We should tip the cashier at the grocery store and our mechanics and our mail carriers and the referees at high school sporting events.

Paypal tip jars and Humble Bundle's Pay What You Want model are two examples of tipping on the web that I'd like to see more often. The more nudges toward generosity, the better.

Complete advantage? I've seen those dickwads, toying with the wait staff to make themselves feel like a big man.

How about disliking tipping because it's demeaning to everyone involved. People relying on my charity to make their rent, despite working a full time job. What kind of messed up system is this?
I forgot where I got 28 from but it's indeed a mistake. For normal display you could get away with 1920 * 1080 * 8bit = 6MB. For a 10bit display it would be around 8MB. You do indeed often use 32bit float for high-quality processing but since what we're storing here is the output frame you would finish all that processing and then go down to 8 or 10bit per channel. So recalculating the math that's 8GB for 1 minute of video, still way too impractical.
This also works for sorting as well and is typically called Radix Sort or Bucket Sort.

Basically using unique attributes of the data you then divide and conquer on those attributes (e.g. for Radix you make buckets based on the digits).

Not sure what your point is - it may feel pedestrian, but consider the alternative.

Let's say, to "save users time" you decide to include all the meaningful combinations of some basic functions into your standard library. Then selecting from all those functions is about as time consuming than combining the two basic functions, unless you have memorized all of them by heart.

And then, what can also happen, if you haven't got them all memorized, you actually look up for a certain combination, only to find that particular one is for whatever reason missing from the library and you still have to compose it with the other functions you have.

The point is, there is a trade-off between time saved by having functions in standard library and time spent looking those functions up. So you don't want to have functions that are obvious combinations of 2-3 function, unless it's something very very common (e.g. a map function as a combination of monadic bind and return).
For what it's worth, I sometimes hit the minimum tip percentage solely because a colleague at work is with me. The "impulse" to hit that button is greater if that colleague is my boss. But, even when I'm surrounded by strangers, I still feel this need to hit the tip button.

Ultimately, I think right now the social expectation of tipping in this situation is in limbo- whether you do or don't, it's ok.

Federated Architectures with APIs: the future of software engineering
I don't have strong opinions on tipping either way. Personally, I prefer a culture where tips are an optional extra in culture. You do it when pleasantly surprised. That's nothing more than an "i like it this way" though.

That said, who says "the worker's salary is a employer's responsibility?"

Monetary culture is ancient and emergent. It's culture. Complicated, organic, varied and local. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't want to change it if it's bad or impractical. But, is a culture of tipping bad.

I've always thought that a simple HN-like site directed at those of us interested in art, critical theory and literature would be wonderful. Does anybody know of one? I would be interested in helping set one up...

Maintaining hardware compatibility with any PC hardware ever created is indeed nigh-impossible, so you'll note I didn't even mention that. I only talked about maintaining compatibility with applications written for their own operating system. Something that Microsoft does have pretty much universal control over.

The only mention I made about devices was regarding the printer driver issue with Vista, which had nothing to do with the devices and everything to do with Microsoft totally redoing their printer driver implementation on the OS level. It necessitated all drivers be redone and some manufacturers (like HP) took the not very admirable path of telling customers they were up a creek.

The dark side of cranberry agriculture
I'm all for saving wildlife but really the problem in Africa is lack of jobs, education, nutrition and infrastructure. If you fix those problems the wildlife will have a better chance.

I have looked into some of the wildlife charities in the past and many of them have not done as well as one would hope and this is in part because it doesn't really solve the underlying problem.

Yes it is probably outrageous but increased urbanization and education in Africa would be the best thing for Africa.

IMO give money to charities that help build infrastructure, and education.

Even food and agriculture charities will massively help as many have no choice but to eat bushmeat [1].

There are other ways to do this.

When I buy groceries here in Norway, there is VAT: 15% on most food, 25% on most other items, and none on newspapers, magazines, and books. It is common for me to buy a mix of items at the store.

All of the prices listed on the shelf include this VAT tax, which is similar to the sales tax in the US. I can always figure out what I'm going to pay, save for guessing some prices for weighed goods.

On the reciept, there is a line telling me how much of the total bill was taxes. Therefore I can always know how much goes to the tax man.

Even if I was living in the states, it isn't so hard to figure out so long as you have calculator access and know the local sales tax amount.

Tipping is for cases where you are delighted by the service to the point that you feel the server deserves additional compensation for their work. When it turns into a hidden cost (like tax in tax-excluding prices) it is not okay, and it is not generosity. It's the real life equivalent of dark patterns.

Given that the alternative is their eternal absence, and the total loss of a species, options are quickly disappearing.

The best place is in the wild, but the worst place is as stuffed relics in museums. When their numbers dwindle low enough, I'd expect the species would be lost to unsustainable inbreeding producing compounded birth defects.

Incidental taming and domestication as a side effect of preserving the species might be better than no species at all. At least habituation to human contact is a reversible process. Rendering a species feral becomes an option, once their numbers are strengthened.
