Not much. That's why you send someone to actually take a look up close, and see if that's actually the case or not. OTOH, both pilots dozing off or becoming distracted - now that tends to happen, too. In that case, "knock knock, who's there? German Airforce" tends to resolve the situation fairly quickly and without further incident*, as seen here.

In my first stats lecture at university the lecturer informed us we would not learn about Bayesian statistics and if we'd wanted to do that we should have gone to York or something.
Tipping a barber in those countries? I think you're making things up.
Nothing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helios_Airways_Flight_522
Your arguments are socially valid, but not statistically. People may not be racists nor sexual addicts, but unconsciously they will go to the place with less "poor people" and more "nice people", if they are able to pay for it. We can pretend that such thinking doesn't exist, but ask yourself with more attention.
This doesn't actually work. Try it!
You tip for taking a delivery?

> It allows you to decide how much service guy/girl earned in your case.

Unfortunately that's not how it works, unless you also know what percentage of your meal cost goes to them. Maybe the restaurant already pays them a sizable portion of what you spent. Maybe they work for tips only. (regardless how legal that is) Maybe the tips go directly to them. Maybe they're pooled and shared with everyone at that shift. And many, many other questions... You don't know the answers, and nobody will tell you what they are. You're doing a blind bidding game.

If you want to do it and be fair to the servers, you have to tip them the whole amount you think they earned. Do you really want to decide that every time?
What I/O are you going to do with all these PCI-E lanes? 16 for a graphics card, 4 for an NVMe SSD if you have one (still 2x as expensive as a SATA SSD at the same capacity), a couple for a network card maybe… The only reason to have ~40 lanes is multi-GPU setups, which are absolutely not necessary to keep 8 cores busy.
You obviously have never been to a hairdresser in e.g. Vienna. The same applies to taxis, cloakrooms, hotels, bars and restaurants in southern Germany and Austria. But as said somewhere else, it could depend on your milieu.
But, if you decide not tip someone, especially a food service worker that you know is only making $2.35/hour, then you are punishing that worker. Punishing them vastly more than you are punishing are system or the employer. If you really don't want to support tipping culture, don't use any service/store that allows for it and petition your legislature to change the laws.
> Everything the NZ government has done in regards to this entire case makes me embarrassed

Not a Kiwi, but I agree the NZ government has mishandled this situation from day 1.

I don't think Kim Dotcom should be extradited to the US. The way this was handled just reeks of judicial overreach by the Americans.

But, from everything that I've read, and what I've seen on his Twitter, Kim Dotcom is not someone I would want to be friends with. In general he seems to be a bit of a scumbag.

He likes the law, but only when it's in his favour. He even tried to finance a NZ political party, which failed spectacularly. [0]

If the Americans are intent to prove a point that he's a criminal, instead of trying to get him for copyright violations (which judges have repeatedly shown don't apply in NZ), they could always chose to hit him for money laundering which is a crime in NZ.

Many European countries share radiological monitoring data with each other, and this is made available to the public through the Joint Research Council: https://remon.jrc.ec.europa.eu/

I'm not sure if it's possible to get historical data, but if so it could be interesting to have a look at data from January.
It would be illegal in Germany to shoot down a hijacked airliner and ordering the pilot to do so would be an illegitimate order the pilot would be forbidden from following. The most anyone could do would be the Minister of Defence of the Chancellor talking directly to the pilot and telling her that they would take the fall if her conscience allowed them to shoot down the plane. The pilot would still face a trial with uncertain results.

So, please stop with the alternative facts and the conspiracy stuff. Not every country works like the US of A, unbelievably.
They did not transformed all that much, they are taxi service like any other. Where they were actually forced to follow the same rules as everyone else (Germany), they do not have better prices. Basically, they are good in taking advantage of corrupt system and make the corruption work for them.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Kim. I think mega crossed the line by incentivising popular content. But also as a Kiwi I don't think that the NZ government acted within its own laws in this case. Especially when they raided Kim's mansion.
This kind of behaviour isn't advertised in the newspaper, you know about it only by experience, the dark side (if you choose to ignore it, please do).

>They where looking for people who really want to work at Uber

Unless they were looking specifically for you (TeeWEE) and not a random search on LinkedIn, it is very elitist of them to expect that. I cannot understand how so many companies and interviewers fail to realize that interviews are not a one way street. Interviewees should also be evaluating the company for a fit as much as the interviewer does.
> But, if you decide not tip someone, especially a food service worker that you know is only making $2.35/hour

In the USA, all tipped employees always earn at least the federal minimum wage. There is no such thing as a service worker making $2.35 per hour.

https://www.dol.gov/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs15.htm

It's possible that food service workers might earn a lot more than minimum wage with tips, such that taking away their tips would hurt their compensation. Perhaps - it's still arguably no concern of the patron. If I'm buying an automobile from a car dealership, should I pay extra because the poor car salesman needs his commission? I don't think so. His compensation is between him and the leadership. It is fair that I negotiate the lowest possible price, and a price that works for me.

Regardless of all that, my primary point is that it is incorrect to claim that servers will make less than minimum wage without tips. They always earn minimum wage and so this is not a reason to justify tipping.
Is Chromium affected too?
A leak of a fact can lie by exclusion and put people in a position where they can only refute it by revealing secret information.
New Zealand law has a principle known as natural justice. It's a term that refers to the right to a trial that is fair when considered in totality, and the right to have a judge that is not biased. It was argued by Dotcom's team and the legal team of his coaccused that the District court judge had hurried the trial so much that there was no opportunity to even present a case. He wasn't allowed to present expert testimony on the commonplace practice of using deduplication in filesharing technology, or expert testimony on US law, etc. The question came up in the trial that if natural justice had been so badly denied, then it wasn't clear how the problem could be rectified. Evidence came to light during the trial before this judge that largely discredited the Crown case, but wasn't properly before the judge (wasn't allowed to be considered), further compounding the problem the case presented. The Crown Prosecution Service of course argued that Dotcom and co would have the opportunity to present such evidence in the US after being extradited.

"people of the wrong skin color". Ugh
I don't see a conflict or even see what those statements have to do with each other.

It seems to me that the writer includes his values when making a decision (willing to pay more for Lyft, not interested in working at Uber due to a culture mismatch) and also doesn't weigh Uber's financial package as highly as some other companies because of their stock situation.

I didn't see the writer say that his motivation was to make more money, but even if that is the goal, my impression is that it looks like other companies that allow selling their stock and/or offer higher compensation would be better ways of doing that in his view.
It seems weird to me that the author was so uninformed going into the interview. I do everything I can to tip the balance in my favour during a job hunt.

"So pay them more."

As a European that is also often uncomfortable with this typical US "custom", I think it is kind of an arrogant statement to make.

It is just a different way to do things, and I'm not sure what servers would choose given the option.

In Europe servers tend to work long hours, often at minimum wage (I worked briefly as one, while studying), it's not like they are treated substantially better.

At least in the US you can count on the occasional generous tip, and good servers tend to work for it.

I dropped Chrome few weeks ago when this news initially appeared. I've been using Firefox and haven't looked back at Chrome since.

I've been a Chrome user since its earliest releases. I remember switching away from Firefox at the time because Chrome seemed faster on my old PC, and I also loved the minimalistic design. Now I feel Firefox has an edge again, and I also get to supported a company whose values are apparently more aligned with mine. Go Mozilla!

Re: fountain pen. If your grip resembles a "normal grip" then Lamy Safari. It's my absolute favorite, especially in this price range (less than 20USD/EUR).

Charcoal Black comes with a dark nib (I'm using M size), looking gorgeous. All the matte versions are super nice to hold.

For some it might be quite light in hand but for me a capped Safari provides a nice balance.

With a converter it's easy to use any other ink but for daily use I prefer to just carry a bunch of dark pink (Dark Lilac) refills.

"This study found that attractive waitresses earned larger sales-adjusted tips than did less attractive waitresses. Attractiveness had no effect on the tips of waiters."

I think that is out of date. 4.9 is the LTS series not 4.10; that email was a year ago when it was not clear.
"Where an employee does not receive sufficient tips to make up the difference between the direct (or cash) wage payment (which must be at least $2.13 per hour) and the minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference."

Interesting, they did not told us that part when I worked in USA in summer. Cooks got 6.5$ and that was minimum wage in there. Servers got 1.5$ and had to report all tips to be taxed. Then again, servers earned more overall, so minimum wage was not really an issue for them.
>The system is working, and we should appreciate the dedication of the people making it work -- by checking the president's autonomous power.

No, the system was absolutely not designed for departments under the president's control to leak information and participate in insubordination. The checks and balances are between the 3 branches of government, not within a single branch.

It's akin to military personnel not liking a decision their general made and leaking the plan to force it to change.

Bayesian vs. frequentist seems to have little to do with the underlying issue.

If clinical trialists use p-values wrong, how is moving to Bayesian methods going to be less misused and misunderstood?

The real issue is the the established practice in the research field. It's hard to introduce new methods if peer review is not familiar with them, or if everyone in the field has problems with such basic concept as p-values. Researchers have the tendency to apply statistical tools they have learned mechanically and peer review accepts them mechanically. New tools need more thought, not less.
Repeat after me: HR is not on your side
Could anyone comment on why both lower fighters keep to the left side of the airliner? For better visibility, I would have expected them to take it between them. Additionally, the sun seems to be on the left, so they would be hard to make out.
To give a bit more background: The law strongly disagrees with the court of public opinion here. It is illegal to shoot down an aircraft in such a situation in Germany. The German government at one point tried to change this and our constitutional court told them that their new law violated the constitution and has to be scrapped.
Nice! Certainly results in a much cleaner question. Do you think you could briefly sum up how it's formatting the question if not by NLP? ie. how does it turn: 'john smith was born in abc, usa' into 'what is the birthplace of john smith?'

>Basically without Google colluding with NetFlix, we would still have a DRM-free web-standard.

>Remember that next time you start up Chrome. You helped Google do this.

For some reason you left out Microsoft who was also part of that gang who lobbied for EME... next time you boot windows and load up Edge, remember you helped Microsoft do this...

Of course the real demand for DRM comes from the content owners, aka Hollywood etc, who for some reason seem to think it has an effect on piracy, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

What does seem to have an effect on piracy is to give customers decent offers, like the netflix model, a fixed affordable fee that gives you access to a great library of content when you want it.
Google Play Store “owned” via AdWords?
When googling for "play store" the first result will be an advertisement for fake play store like this:

Pay attention that reviews part is a low quality image etc. When trying to close this tab and clicking "stay" you will end up another page asking for your phone number.

Whois for mobidatrw.com refers to locations in China.

Hovering over the ad with mouse does show URL to google.com, which makes it even harder to determine where will you end up. Has it always been like this with AdWords that you can deceive users like that?

The best interviews are those that make an attempt to be realistic rather than assuming correlation between ability and knowledge of some of the more rarely used textbook knowledge.
The fact that this harassment came from a reporting chain or not is irrelevant, no employee should have to undergo that kind of behaviour if it wasn't consented to in the first place.
> The wording from the airline statement was a bit funny: "the German Air Force deployed its aircraft to ensure the safety of the flight and its guests"

Not every case of lost communication with an aircraft is due to hijacking. Sometimes it's due to a serious accident on board, such as cabin depressurisation. [0]

In these cases, observations from the intercepting aircraft can be vital to understanding the circumstances leading up to a plane crash.

While I think the stated concern about a 'deep state' is rather exaggerated, I think there is a legitimate concern about friction between the executive and the bureaucracy. There is broad tradition of non-partisan civil service taking orders from the partisan government of the day across the Western world, and it exists for two very good reasons: If the civil service is partisan, worthy public servants will lose their positions upon any change in government; and if the civil service is partisan, governments will not trust them.

We saw this in Canada under the Harper government in the early part of this decade, with civil servants actively undermining the government and the government retaliating with gag orders; it didn't take long before the government, knowing that any research they asked for would be leaked in the most damaging way possible, abandoned evidence-based governing in favour of seat-of-the-pants policy-making.

Now, what took a decade in Canada seems to have happened in a matter of weeks in Washington; but the fact remains that when the civil service is overtly opposed to their political masters, good government becomes impossible. It's one thing to have a bungling fool in charge of the ship of state; it's quite another to have a bungling fool who knows his crew are in the process of staging a mutiny.

You're talking as if the men in the article don't know that what they're doing is wrong. If some man accidentally does something harmful against a woman, he can learn from those mistakes. A pattern of repeated sexual harassment, though? That's certainly not due to ignorance.

People who "really want to work at Uber" are easier to take advantage of. They will work for being able to say they work in cool company and will be willing to take lower salary and worst working conditions. (Being woken up often to quick fix broken things screams disorder and broken process. Being asked to do 80 hours of work in 40 hours time screams incompetent tech management.)

IMO, all the jobs you are supposed to do out of passion tend to be like that (hello game development).
