The point is that in the US, the real price is not advertized, and in the UK tipping is not as obligatory and is therefore not a required part of preparing to pay for the meal. Case in point: I bought a sandwich at Denver airport, that was label roughly $7. I handed them my card and was asked to sign a receipt that added sales tax from multiple government jurisdictions, an airport service fee, and suggested the amount for a 21% tip that it noted in some situations would be mandatory for me to pay. I left no tip but still paid $11 for that sandwich and was not served in any way except for the girl who showed me to where to swipe my own card and handed me the receipt.

In Europe servers are paid more than the equivalent of $2 an hour because the cost of their pay is already factored into the price. I still tip for great service, but increasingly I cannot in any way begin most transactions in the US without hidden fees springing up the whole way.
> I think when the circumstances actually show someone was grossly negligent, it's very hard to convincingly pretend that only processes are to blame.

On the contrary - the entire reason why you transition from culture to process as you grow is because when you measure by results, there's no difference between unintentional negligence (leaving a production terminal open à la Travis), intentional negligence (let me bystep this annoying check, let me procrastinate on fixing the backups a la GitLab), and malice.

If you get large enough, you will have grossly negligent people, by statistical inevitability. You can either accept this statistical inevitability and design your process for it or you can continue to believe that you (and everybody else) really actually do only ever hire the very best.

I don't know the answer but I wonder the same thing.

One intriguing view of it is: "... most popular pharmaceuticals, NSAIDs, statins, anti-depressants, anti-diabetics, etc., also have substantial antibiotic activity. Most of these pharmaceuticals started out as phytoalexins and then were found to also have pharmaceutical activity. Pharmaceuticals are just repurposed natural antibiotics. When you take an aspirin or Metformin or a statin, you are taking an antibiotic. When you take a pharmaceutical, you are selecting for multiple antibiotic resistance plasmids in your gut flora and you may be making the next superbug."

Don't call it a comeback - RSS never went away.

I find the "pull" model of RSS much nicer to deal with than the "push" model of twitter and facebook. You simply cannot keep up with your twitter feed if you add 20 or 30 publishers that tweet every day. But those same 20 or 30 publishes in an RSS reader are easy to deal with.

Of course, the publishers dislike RSS because it messes with their metrics, discourages stickiness, and makes advertising difficult. 3 things that aren't my problem.

I know a teacher in very rural (and white) America. There's not a lot of funding, but throwing more money at them would not change outcomes.

It is not at all uncommon for 5 and 6 year olds coming to her classes to be swearing like sailors, unable to spell their names, not knowing numbers, etc.

It's not simply a matter of kids being behind, their parents simply don't care. It's a cultural attitude old as time, and crosses race and geographical boundaries, from the dense urban city centers to trailer parks in the countryside.

It is coincidental with widespread poverty; both a cause and effect.

We have universal Pre-K and k-12 in my nearest metro area, a nearly-hyper liberal bastion. We also have among the worst white-color divide in the country in terms of education outcomes, with a large minority (25% as a record low) dropping out before completing a high school degree.

There are so many factors at play, and money (in most schools) is not the primary problem, nor will it be the solution.
Upvote and reply, because Revolut is a dream. Prepaid so fraud is minimum risk (no possible overdraft), top up via mobile app, disable the card when you're not using it. It's so convenient that I use it to buy from shady sites (game keys, in game currency etc) and just disable the card once the purchase is complete. I can't believe it's still free.

Sorry for gushing. I love Revolut.
> For those interested in open source 3D CAD applications, there's a really interesting application called SolveSpace which is a very, very fast and low resource 3D parametric CAD application.

Yeah, it's cool project, and I'm one of contributors to SolveSpace development ;-) (mostly, tester and idea generator).

SolveSpace not only 3D CAD - it is 2D/3D CAD and CAE too.

I like to make stress tests for SolveSpace and already know many tricks, so if need some help with SolveSpace - ask me! (I often answer on SolveSpace Forum too).

One of most active users of SolveSpace is Eric Buijs[0], that has many videos on his YouTube channel[1] about SolveSpace usage for solving tasks from different CAD challenges and competitions[2], such as "/r/CAD/ Challenge" (I has own archive[3] of those tasks), etc.

> It's really useful, really fast

Agree, it useful for daily work & small 3D printing tasks. But sadly it's not very useful for very big construction that consists of many sub-models yet...

> and very stable

Not so stable. Be careful - while SolveSpace often work like a charm, if you create redundant constrains it could freeze your PC very fast! Just need be careful with constrains and complex models design in SolveSpace.

I think there were other classes than just capital and prole, for example the Kulaks.

It seems fairly reasonable that you could send a letter to Birmingham and have it delivered within two hours + travel time, but not to another part of the country unless you were lucky with the timings.

Remember, it was usually possible to post a letter from a station, which presumably gave it a very good chance of being on the next train.

That doesn't mean that labour aren't a more frequent source of food-borne illnesses, just not the most serious cases. I'm not likely to die from someone sneezing in my food, but I don't want to catch what they have nonetheless.
With respect to education, that limit is definitely intentional for Marx, and the same goes for other forms of so-called "human capital" like job experience and connections.

They definitely help you make money, but they don't have the special attributes that make capital so desireable--you can't sell it to turn it into another form of capital, and crucially you can't employ others to use it to make money on your behalf while capturing the surplus value of their labor.
How do you even know the person you're replying to is of a different generation?

I'm no millennial, but I've frequently not been able to leave a tip while paying for dinner in the UK because I've paid by card and had literally no cash on me. I've felt bad about not leaving a tip for good service, but I know that the servers will at lease make minimum wage before tips, unlike in the US. The whole point of this entire thread of discussion is about how people are switching to card-only payments in some areas and different/changing cultural norms, and while there could have been an interesting discussion about how this impacts other cultural norms like tipping, you instead just call someone an asshole like Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud.

Yes, there were plenty of reposts, and reposts are typically bad. But that doesn't mean it isn't a topic HN wants to discuss as it did finally get traction on this latest go at it.

Timing (and luck) can be everything on these sites and some don't actively attempt to game the system and post at the most optimal times to get views/votes. If it stops here, I don't see a problem with the reposts... Just not sure where you would draw the line between this and spamming the boards.
What happens to those 10 year batterylife IOT devices when they start doing blockchaining and maybe even needing to get info from server to just send the damn temperature data. Also these kind of devices might use wireless networks like LoRa with very limited bandwidths[1] and usually extremely low data caps(50 bytes per minute anyone?)

IMHO biggest problem with blockchain hypers is the denial of current status of the blockchain technology in regards of the number of transactions. For example bitcoin get around 2000 transactions per second and median confirmation time sitting in somewhere 8-9 minutes[2]. Would you like to wait 8 minutes at counter for them to confirm your payment? Likewise in IOT applications for critical temperature monitoring, would you like to know only after some time find out that your subject(person/machine) has overheaten?

Granted not all blockchain tech is equal in performance and compromises can be achieved to avoid those performance pitfalls. But at what point it would just be better to use basic signing and leave it at that(crypto engines are more or less standard features in microcontrollers).

>* Put goods to their highest use

That's just dodging the question. What is the "highest use"?

>* Allocate capital to those who can produce more rather than consume it

And thus the optimally rational world as conceived based on this premise is one where no one ever consumes anything.
I'm sure sure there are/were whole sects based on how one interprets that division. A bigger one along the same lines is the holy trinity.

That is not an accurate assessment of this scenario.

The idea that capital == money is merely the guiding basis of capitalism.

Not sure what to tell you. That’s not my (limited) experience. Certainly you’ve heard the sound design elsewhere — from trains boarding and leaving, to the sound of rice makers and dish washers letting you know they’re ready.
Asking what should replace Capitalism is a very reasonable question. The problem is that lots of people don't actually explore this question in a spirit of intellectual honesty.

>What do the central planners like the author of the book have in mind to "replace" capitalism?

Right off the bat, you insist that any alternative to capitalism is necessarily the whim of a "central planner", and go on to suggest that:

>Socialism _always_ fails because a central authority cannot, objectively, plan an economy better than the collective decisions by acting men in the free market.

But of course, Socialism does not prescribe a central authority (although many theories suggest one), and an exchange market is not the only way to collectively make decisions.

If you're interested in alternatives, I'd suggest you read some leftist theory, because this is pretty basic knowledge.

>he believes that certain things should be worth more and others should be worth less, and damn the market for telling me why they cost the way they do.

The market doesn't tell us why things cost what they do. Proponents of a free market argue that anything the market values is inherently valuable, even if that seems unintuitive. However, I think when many many people are unhappy with the priorities of the market, we should perhaps consider this claim with more scrutiny.
The 10-Year Baby Window That Is the Key to the Women’s Pay Gap
"giving more to those who already have too much" who are you to say what quantity or quality of goods people should have? That by itself isn't a "rational" allocation but a highly subjective one. When I say rational I mean that objectively, capitalism and markets reward agents who make the right market choices, and that in my book is allocating resources efficiently.

Regardless if you need a visa or not, you cannot (legally) stay more than 90 days every 180 days outside of the country you have a visa for.

My company (British) runs Ubuntu and MacOS. On the Ubuntu front, we mostly use Dell XPS 13s (9360s), which are okay, except the trackpad is quite poor - many use external mice even in meeting rooms. We've tried dropping X11 configs in to improve it, but the results are very mixed. I personally am not that impressed by the keyboard or the webcam location choice. On the positives, the performance is good, and they're very light yet sturdy.

The other machines we have are Dell Precision M3520s - I found one unclaimed and swapped my XPS for it, and have found it to be great. Again, all the hardware works out of the box. The keyboard and trackpad are both much better than the XPS, and the 1920x1080 15" screen is crisp and sharp. It's a bit of a brick, especially compared to our MBPs, but it has a healthy complement of ports. I run a 4k 32" external screen via Thunderbolt/USB-C, while also having USB-As and onboard ethernet. Disk speeds are awesome, and it has nVidia hybrid graphics should I need them (although I keep them disabled and use the Intel onboard during the day). Battery life varies considerably since it packs a quad-i7 (7820HQ) but a full workday is probably practical. The RAM and SSD are also upgradeable.

I would definitely look at the Precision series over the XPS.

Vimeo is not an appropriate solution for the use cases that I have in mind. I don't think Vimeo would be fine with serving dozens of TBs of traffic for you, or storing many TBs of video content. Vimeo is aimed at professionals and companies who use video as basically a marketing tool, or communication tool, or who produce very little but very high quality video that may be shown to lots or few people. But it's not meant to be something like a platform for you to build something like your own Vimeo/Youtube, where your users upload (lots of) video and also consume lots of it.
Case in point: Their "business" offering website speaks about a total of 5 TB of max video storage that you get, and you get tools from Vimeo to manage that video manually. But if you're building a video platform then you need APIs first and foremost, as well as basically unlimited video storage, ie. pay by use or similar.

But if you still want to compare apples and oranges here -- yes, cheaper, or at least comparable in price, just aimed at a different (much larger scale) use case.

I write "Check I.D.". Merchants have typically been good at asking for some, especially the older ones. Teens and trainees tend to mumble and just process it anyway.

The thought process is that my UK drivers license has my picture, full name, and signature. The merchant looks at the ID and sees my photo next to my name, checks it with the name on the card to see if they match, then checks the signature against that on the ID. Unless a thief has the same name as me, they can't use the card as either the photo or the name won't match. The signature doesn't matter as it will be caught in fraud alerting / rejected by the bank.

Angular is rock-solid and I think its biggest feature is refactoring. It's not a sexy feature nor anything you can market but refactoring front-end code is something we all do everyday.

It is incredibly easy to refactor logic into services and modules and hold to the fundamental systems architecture principle: low coupling and high cohesion.

My only advice is this: if you're doing in something in Angular that seems too hard or kludgy, you're doing it wrong... and somebody on Stack Overflow has already answered your question.
