Avoiding humanizing faceless corporations doesn't preclude holding companies accountable. We've known since the industrial revolution that companies left to market forces alone will turn society into a hell on earth in the search for greater profitability. That's why the government tries to step in with regulation to stop companies from abusing your data, making you work seven days a week, or pump garbage into the ocean. CEOs are also not kings. In a publicly traded company they are replaceable the moment they stop doing their job (to drive profit and growth for the board). Companies do not care about you beyond your dollars. It is a rare exception to find a company that isn't unequally distributing their wealthy even among their own employees, or has found success in the manipulation and floundering of rivals and government agencies.
This is the heart of it for me. If I tip cash, even if the tip jar is next to the register I always make a point of going back to tip at the end of my drink / food if the experience was good. A digital version should be some kind of contactless payment point at the door where you can easily set a tip amount and tap your phone / card.
It's truly awful that this is expected in tech.
The 'politics' of tipping aside, one thing that really grinds my gears is that they calculate the tip after taxes are applied. I feel that the tips should be calculated based on the exchange I had with the establishment/person and that the taxes should considered separate from our interaction. Like, here's the 20% tip on the 100$ I spent. Not, here's the 20% tip on the $100 + 5% tax, $105 total. I know why they do this, it's more money to them, but, to me, it's disingenuous (or they don't realize it being done this way, which may be worse).
commercial means spam? I can't use this for my non-spam business? MyStartup.com? A few 100 helms would cost a lot (500*200 = 100k), no one will spend that much for spam farm, you'd do it on the cheap.
As the song goes “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”.

The town tested out life without libraries and saw it was bad for kids. This got the votes to reopen them. I think sometimes it’s healthy to see if we “really need it”. Especially when physical books are becoming obsolete.
Not really. Based on your follow-up responses, it seems that you're conflating the slowdown on older hardware running new software versions (which is standard with any software update as new features will never run as quickly on older hardware as they would on new hardware) with the throttling done for older batteries. This wasn't done intentionally to slow down the devices so that people would buy newer models it was done for the opposite reason - to extend the daily longevity of phones whose batteries were nearing an efficiency target where they would require service. The mistake Apple made was not directly stating that this was being done to conserve battery life as the alternative was for the phones to simply shut down completely.
It's ISP / Network Engineer / Bit-shifter Lingo.

AS - Autonomous System (Number, sometimes called ASN). What big networks like ISPs use to identify themselves and route to each other, usually via BGP.

It's a fancy way of saying the parent runs a "mid-sized" network big enough to have an AS, likely a mid-sized regional ISP, or part of a larger ISP.

IX -- Internet Exchange, similar to IBX or DC. Essentially the building where there are routers and switches that connect the networks to each other.

Basically parent is saying that they're an ISP and their systems in the IX that route to Youtube saw a dip in traffic, implying a network event of some sort on the Youtube side.

I don't think it's the most efficient solution, but it really showcases lazy evaluation with a simple example.
and I tip 15 percent, not 20, so if there's no 15 option I just give 10. And that's only in a sit down restaurant I never tip if I'm not being waited on.

OTOH, broken out expenses often serve only as fodder for bikeshedding cynics who want to rail about big government mismanagement. For example, most people's notions about NASA's budgetary process begin and end with million dollar toilets. Overly specific knowledge about budgets can be poisonous.
Perhaps there exist socially and economically positive things which taxes can fund more beneficially than individual spending for equivalent services.

> It's similar to the non-prosecution agreement mentioned in the Netherlands above

not necessarily. in Oregon, it is tracked, taxed, and regulated. one can still grow their own and remove themselves from the tracking, but this is for personal consumption not for sale.

there is still enforcement, and cooperation with the federal levels, specifically to help curb the black market and the problems that arise due to the black market.

one example of a difference would be the airport - you can fly in Oregon with cannabis, as long as you are under the legal limit to carry and are flying within the state (not crossing any borders). if the TSA (federal employees) are concerned about how much you are carrying or that you are not old enough, they will detain you long enough for local authorities to check, then release you and whatever legal amount you have with you to fly (if you are over the limit, you are asked to dispose of it, much like having too much liquid in your carry-on).

this differs quite a bit to pre-legalization, where non-prosecution was more likely if you were white and in a larger city such as Portland.

the limits are for federal property, which falls under federal law, crossing borders, which again falls under federal law, and black market activities, which are illegal under state laws, and likely include crossing of borders or federal land (quite a lot of forests in the United States are federally owned).
It would be great if you could share some examples!
It's only "stiffing" if we start with the assumption they are supposed to be tipped.

I'm not well-versed in the history of coffee shops, but it seems to me that it is not a well-established norm -- as compared to bars and restaurants, for example. But I'm happy to be corrected if I'm mistaken about this.
I saw a test of these type cultural differences in TV-show once.

They had tourist groups from different countries into a otherwise empty bar where the bartender had to leave.
One of the tourists was an actor with same nationality. He started to steal drinks and beer from the tap and tried to get others to join.

British tourists were first little taken aback but then started to laugh and some joined.

Japanese tourists were horrified and visibly shaken. They turned their backs to the actor. After the bartender came back, the oldest man of the group talk to the bartender, revealed what had happened and apologized on the behalf of the group "I hope you don't think all Japanese are like this."

Although it's science fiction, the second book from the "Three Body Problem" series by Cixin Liu offers an intriguing idea he labels as the "Dark Forest".

If you're familiar with evolution of signaling traits in animals, this isn't actually very surprising. If you have a competitive mate market (where members of one or both sexes compete for the other sex), all excess resources will get funneled into signaling status. The most well known examples are probably peacocks and male birds of paradise, who spend a tremendous amount of energy building extravagant plumage to attract females.

An alien biologist would probably predict that the end state of a competitive, highly differentiated job market is prospects investing excess resources into signaling quality until the marginal return approaches $0.
Exactly the first thing that came to my mind. OP may be overqualified for the jobs he is applying for. Your run-of-the-mill AI startup doesn't have any suitable problem for a Ph.D.

Yes, the OP happens to be 60. But there is no reason to speculate ageism based on just that. May be he / she has a 4-page resume. May be he is applying to series A start-ups. May be OP has switched a few jobs in quick succession recently. Too many unknowns to provide any answer.
All of this is true, but its also true that the government would still not be able to freeze your assets... And if you are willing go take the criminal charges for that conduct, then those assets will still be on the blockchain when you get out.
There's no doubt that experienced sales people are valuable, but I would argue that there is a point in a startup lifecycle where it's too soon to hire one. For one or both of two reasons:

1. You're still trying to figure out exactly what it is you're building and how to best price/sell it. That is, you're still in more of a "customer development" mode than a pure "push the accelerator on sales for all it's worth" model.

2. You don't have any money to hire a sales person, because you're either bootstrapping or haven't raised a round yet.

A company is not a collective. Most of the employees will receive an unequally small portion of the total profit compared to the upper echelon, and have very little say in the overall direction. In fact, a public company is run by its board, who are free to remove leaders who do not grow the company or lead it the way they like.

The tip is expected only when you're at a real restaurant. No tip is required for fast food places. No tip is required up front before you're served.

You should tip hair stylists and restaurant staff that brings you food or drink. I generally only tip 15 percent and I never tip at a buffet.

I have a hard time reconciling the common meaning of passion with "don't mind doing". An entire generation was told that they should only work at something they love. Turns out not enough people love being a garbage man or cleaning up vomit for minimum wage for that to be an effective strategy at the societal level.
That's simply not my problem. Why should I care? If they are unhappy with their wages they should complain to their employer. It's not my job to fix their wages.
A British friend of mine was chased down the street and harangued by a waitress when he tipped 10% (pretty standard in the UK for decent-if-not-amazing service). I get the feeling they'd remember someone who left a tip which was that underwhelming, let alone no tip, wouldn't they?

It was never like that. They just exploit the digitization of tipping to con you out of a bit more money.

Precisely my point. Cumulus, Canonical, Fedora - take your pick.
Have you ever worked at a restaurant or in a tipped position?

It constitutes a HUGE part of your take home pay for two reasons:

- If you are a waiter, tips will be multiples of your hourly pay.

- Tips will be under the table, saving you another ~25% easily.

So if you make a tipped hourly wage in Ohio:

- $4.15/hr * 7 hour shift (5pm open to 12pm close): 29.05

- Wait 6 tables, each with 3 seated parties, that tip you each $10: $60 * 3 = $120

Tips represent 4x of your salary. If your job gave you an untaxed 400% bonus at the end of every day, would you vote against it?
I wonder if the Repairnator is in charge of writing its own commit comments (which I think is technically possible).

The simple NullPointerException fixes don't look very impressive, although understandably still quite awesome for a bot.

On the other hand, its commit on the eclipse/ditto repo was pretty interesting: https://github.com/eclipse/ditto/pull/151/commits/7ab96e373e... I'm quite surprised how it determined the usage of a function it did not write.
The Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi convex shape intersection algorithm.

It can take any two convex sets and tell you if they overlap, while converging on a separating axis or a penetration point, if it exists. All you need is a support function that returns a point in the set that is furthest along a given direction vector. The algorithm works in an arbitrary number of dimensions.

Basically, it operates on a new shape which is the Minkowski difference of the two intersected sets. If the difference-shape contains the origin, then the two shapes overlap. The algorithm iteratively constructs simplexes inside the Minkowski difference, trying to build one that encompasses the origin. This allows it to have essentially constant memory for a given dimension of problem.

It's a very elegant formulation of a very general problem. It's so pleasing that you can intersect cylinders with cones, or oriented cubes with frustums, or polytopes with superellipses all with the exact same single algorithm.

The Wikipedia writeup is terrible, so I may do my own with nice illustrations at some point.

No idea why this was downvoted - the article explicitly says "Their IRL Glasses, which launched on Kickstarter this week, block the wavelengths of light that comes from LED and LCD screens." This implies wavelength-based vice polarized filters. More halfassed Wired reporting I guess.

Is that what you tip for at a coffee shop? For someone to arrange muffins for you to look at?

I think a lot of the frustration comes not from the new languages/frameworks themselves, but all the endlessly re-invented support tools that surround them.

For example, learning React itself is great because you can pretty quickly see how it cleans up your UI layer. It doesn't take that long and adds real value to your projects.

Oh, but now you need to learn all the corner-cases of NPM, and now you need a new test framework, and now you need to figure out the incantations to get webpack x.y.z outputting just the right way. Oops now hot-reloading is broken. And the chrome inspector is lagging for some reason.

None of these are interesting or fun problems to solve, but they are a pretty substantial part of getting any new technology into production.
Isn't the problem the other way around? In Europe taxes are included in the price from the start.
Your response misses the point. It isn't that someone who pays $3 for coffee can't afford the extra 60c but rather that the coffee should just cost 3.60.

Further, is there a difference between someone serving a full meal and someone that is just punching buttons?
I can sympathize with the feeling of wanting to share with those less fortunate, and that tipping provides me with a non-awkward way of doing so (instead of "here, want a dollar?"). But this:

> If you can afford to spend $3 on a coffee, you can afford to spend $3.60 on a coffee.

sounds like a logical fallacy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorites_paradox#Paradox_of_the...

It might be that $3 is right at the limit of what I am willing to spend on a cup of coffee, and that doesn't deserve a "check your (expletive) privilege."

Oh for sure. I know it can be tricky to make that decision. Having some advanced search tools would help me do it on my own. What if I could see the results, and tell Google to show me the earliest video that has a runtime between x:xx and y:yy and is visually similar to a chosen result? With at least 50,000 views?

Maybe filter out all results posted by media orgs. Or show only those results that don't have cuts in them (almost all original footage is a continuous shot of a situation, with no titles, cuts to reporters or anchors, or introductions)

I think I'm headed down a rabbit trail of leveraging ContentID smarts for better searching and filtering.
Never heard about that in Kazakhstan. I'm hosting HTTP without any problems (though those are only my personal files, so no significant traffic, but considering that my torrent upload is tens of terabytes/month, probably nobody would notice that).

Coffee shops are a unique one, though traditionally you tip the barista in particular, not the cashier. It's been somewhat on its way out culturally over the past few decades in the US however.

That's the analogy I usually make, yeah - it's like generating a story with a neural network trained on a bunch of stories. You'll get grammatical phrases, and sometimes sentences, but naturally none of it will make any sense.
A lot of issues have already been discussed, but one I haven't seen is the constant reminder that people and the Internet are terrible. Ignoring people that censor beheadings on YouTube and the Dark Web, I am very vividly aware of things Goatse, Blue Waffle, 1 Guy 1 Jar, Ogrish, early 4chan's \b\ and those mental images are very much burned into my brain.

Maybe its not every aspect in the tech industry or maybe its changing with the next generation or maybe I just got into tech at a very impressionable age, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that was exposed to that stuff early on.

I think that's a dark side. There's some generally fucked up shit out there and someone has to be aware of it to keep it far, far away.
