This seems like such a non-issue, I'm not sure why articles are written about tipping.

Wait staff love tips because it gets them paid significantly more than if they worked a retail job.

After visiting Europe, tips are necessary for good service. The rudeness and lack of service was culture shock.
I'm lucky enough that I haven't cut on my sleep much during my adolescence or my college studies. Today I feel awful every time I sleep less than 7 hours, and moderately dysfunctional if I don't sleep 8 a few days in a row.

By "awful" I mean that I just think slower. It's like playing a game with lag, not fun. I wonder if/how many people who claim they can sleep 6 hours a day and feel fine have just gotten so used to the lag that they don't notice it anymore.

Only thing I'm afraid of is children...
Here's a great example with something people have a really hard time wrapping their heads around too.

Let's say that you have a train moving at a constant velocity, v. Then a switch is flipped and turns on a light that is in the exact center of the room. Which wall does the light hit first? [0]

Seen from on the train[1]: might as well be seen as if you were in a stationary room. The light hits both walls at the same time.

Seen from off the train[2]: The speed of light is constant. Since the train is also moving the light can't travel at v+c. So it hits the back wall, which is traveling towards the light at v, first.

This is a famous thought experiment and in practice would be difficult to perform, even with such a camera. But I'm saying it because it illustrates that we can actually observe relativistic effects. Things act extremely differently than what we're used to when small or moving fast. Assuming you had a really high resolution, something like length contraction could be observed, and measured, in normal conditions.

So there are actually a lot of weird things going on that we wouldn't be aware of. These ultra high speed cameras allow us to observe some of these strange phenomena.

No tipping policies in the US will never work as long as tips are untaxed. Otherwise, it is a lose-lose. Diners pay more than with tipping, servers' take-home pay is reduced. That is why most restaurants that have tried no-tipping have gone back to it.
Ace, thanks for elaborating. You could perhaps add a shorter version of this explanation to your README to make it clearer to others as well.
Used to be like this too in much of Europe, but now they expect tips from you if they think you're American.
I tip not because of guilt, or because I feel like I need to pay for the service.

I tip because I frequent local restaurants, bars, coffee bars, etc - and the 20% is a little good will towards the establishment. How can I walk around complaining about Amazon and big corp dominance when I won't even cough up 20% for a small local place?

*note how I'm only mentioning local establishments. To hell with everyone else
I think that's what Steve Ballmer is trying to push with usafacts.com. Get people to be more aware of where their money goes. Or something like that, I've never actually checked it out, just heard him in an interview.
At the places I go, sometimes your $2-$3 coffee purchase will show suggested tip amounts of $1, $2, $3 on the display. Generally I'll tip a buck when I get coffee from a fancy coffee shop. Despite that I don't think it's unreasonable for people to want the price listed at the counter to incorporate the full cost of goods and services.
Was this a small family-owned cafe? I know a lot of people in the service industry who would love to chase down certain customers down the street if they were allowed to.
I'll try to do a blog on this specific aspect. It can be hard to apples to apples with other fuzzers and toolings but I can give it a try.

This tooling is specifically designed for "hard" targets, while "hard" is subjective, think targets with fewer than 2 CVEs a year. Where getting even a null deref is hard.

I have used this on some soft targets and it's just as if you ran AFL against it, candy everywhere. The upside is that this tool usually "finishes" in an hour (no more coverage, no more crashes). Making it a bit easier to develop mutators/generators as you can run them to completion faster and have a more effective development cycle.
I find the nearly infinite (and seemingly exponentially increasing) number of ways things can go wrong, and the frequently arcane knowledge required to fix them, incredibly mentally taxing. That's not what I want to fill up my mind with.

If this were all in the service of healing the world in some way, it might be worth it. But work is feeling increasingly disconnected from genuine human problems.
Unless there is a weakness in that authentication.
>It does deprive the server of a living wage.

Then maybe the server should tell the customer how much they need to be tipped?

"Welcome to AppleBees. My name is Trevor and I need an additional $24.89 in tips today so that my employer isn't obligated to pay me the minimum wage for this state."

Also, should I be under-tipping waitstaff that I think are rich enough?
> stop using icloud for synching and storing stuff

Just a small correction: although most of iCloud is definitely not E2E encrypted, a small portion, iCloud Keychain, is. It's a great way to sync passwords and secure notes across devices.
To me the interesting point was how little data Apple keeps, compared to Facebook or Google.
Luckily I don't care one iota about that. And my bank balance likes me for it. You seem to be obsessed with how other people view your actions. I'm not. Simple as that.
Used to be that way in the US too. Quoting from https://www.marketplace.org/2016/04/22/world/ugly-history-ti... :

> Tipping actually originated in the aristocratic homes of feudal Europe.... When tips came to the United States in the late 1850s, 1860s, there was a massive anti-tipping movement. It was actually considered to be undemocratic, un-American.... Well that movement, which came right around the time of the emancipation of the slaves, was squashed by the restaurant industry, which argued that they should have the right to hire newly freed slaves and not pay them anything as valueless people and essentially let them live on customer tips. And so many of the first tipped workers in the United States were former slaves.

And from https://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/12/magazine/12tipping-t.html... :

> After the Civil War, wealthy Americans began traveling to Europe in significant numbers, and they brought the tip home with them to demonstrate their worldliness. But the United States, unlike Europe, had no aristocratic tradition, and as tipping spread — like “evil insects and weeds,” The New York Times claimed in 1897 — many thought it was antithetical to American democratic ideals. “Tipping, and the aristocratic idea it exemplifies, is what we left Europe to escape,”
Some advice from a less recent immigrant: tip everywhere. It's much simpler than figuring out the rules, esp (as the existence of the article points out) the rules change.

The old 15% became 20%. The places you used to tip (solely personal service situations like a waiter or hairdresser) became everywhere.

If it was done right, everyone would be paid well, there would be no tips, and your stuff would just cost 20% more. I find it simpler to just tip 20% on everything.
How so? Are you talking about (high + low)/2? Whether that is correct depends on the language. With 64 bit arithmetic it's correct in practice, and with arbitrary size arithmetic it's correct in practice and in theory. It only really causes problems if you're using 32 bit arithmetic on a 64 bit machine.
>> We should have been working on the
development of a 386 for the past year, but so far it has not been possible for us to turn up even one such machine.

I guess that has been true for everything.
That sentiment is baked into the culture here. I will never not tip a barista for handing me a muffin.
> I dislike the tip-at-purchase-time paradigm.

The tip at purchase time paradigm is in many cases an artifact of integrating credit card workflows with cash businesses with established pay up front and tip after workflows (fast casual dining, etc.) If you are against it and not against tipping, just bring cash for tipping and tip on the back end.

I always find these kinds of blog posts entertaining. First, using the word "job" greatly minimizes the work a PM does. Second, the most important responsibility of the PM is missing!

A PM's responsibility (not just their "job") is to build and grow the BUSINESS (I don't mean selling), however what's listed in this article, despite loads of buzzwords, is HOW that's done, but there's more.

The PM must, most importantly, have a firm understanding of the market opportunity with a comprehensive business model and product strategy that allows them to capture the opportunity. You know, that whole part of business about making money? It's always forgotten in articles like this, despite being the most important responsibility. Ok, I'm done ranting for now.

Every time this comes up, I think about this statistic:

You used to be able to work for minimum wage for a summer and afford college but that is no longer true (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/gregschoofs/how-much-co...)
When dealing with 8 or so tables, I generally wouldn't be able to remember who sat where unless they were particularly notable, ex. extra messy, or annoying. I'd generally get decent tips too. few dollars - five dollars on a buffet lunch meal ranging from $8 a person.

That said, its just the right thing to do for servers are trying their best. Finding a few dollars per table makes their day a little brighter.
It would be interesting to graph the valuations of all of these companies over time. You could make the x-axis "company age" rather than time in order to make a more apples-to-apples comparison between older YC companies and younger YC companies. I did a bit of work along these lines a few weeks ago:

https://github.com/JesseAldridge/yc_still_good

Here is the graph I'm talking about: https://github.com/JesseAldridge/yc_still_good/blob/master/r...
I didn't even know tipping at cafes was a thing. Don't they earn above minimum wage? I know waitresses get 2$/h, but baristas, they must get above 8$/h.

Do you also tip at McDonalds?
Oh no I don't think we should be tipping anybody, but these are the industries that abuse their employees.

Hair stylists, taxis, sit-down restaurants, they all usually need tips. You don't tip the stylist though if it's the owner as of course they would just set their price.
I'm actually pretty confused by that chart because the bigger planets of SOL are off the side.
The library may not be valuable for you, but it is valuable for many. I see poor children using the computers. Even if a few learn programing and start their own companies instead of selling crack, then the library would pay for themselves. As fort the viewpoint, pressure your library to add more conservative stuff. As for security and junkies, why aren't you doing anything? Go volunteer yourself. Many junkies are actually desperate themselves. I actually read a lot of conservative stuff myself to ground myself. Why don't you?
I am fairly sure Marketo was not part of Techstars ?
I am not angry at all. I watched people around me in the same situation as you, job right out of school with a good payment plan have life happen and suddenly that 4 yr plan turned into 20.

That was with much much lower debt than anyone I see today having.
When a coffee costs $3, the marginal buyer will be willing to pay $3. But many other buyers would have been willing to pay more, i.e. they would've bought the coffee at $3.50 or $4. In economics, this is called "consumer surplus." Tipping as it exists in the U.S. is a way to share some of this consumer surplus with the wait staff. If you really would not have bought the coffee at $3.50, then don't tip. But the majority of people probably would've bought the coffee at $3.50 or even $4.50. Unless you are really one of those marginal customers, you should just tip.

(Note that people tipping is also good for the marginal customer. Like other forms of price discrimination, it allows the provider to price the product lower and allows customers to purchase the product who otherwise could not have done so.)
“Culture” is a catch all for lack of rapport. Either because of their biases or our own. Which is fine for me, I probably wouldn’t have liked working with them if the most significant finding they come away from the interview is that I want to go home at a reasonable hour or I’m not a sports fan. Lol. Finding a good job fit takes time unfortunately. Having a network helps, because you probably already have shared values.

Perhaps focus on rapport at the start of your interviews?
That's because the VAT paradigm obscures the taxes; in US and some other places the amount paid is separated into "cost" and "tax."

This is why extremely rapid feedback is the key to learning for these kids. BASIC and Logo have a decades long proven track record for your first language as a child. Python is something a highschooler or talented middleschooler could maybe pick up, but it's not suitable for a 6 year old unless they have a very strong driving personal interest.

When you're trying to get your kid into something that doesn't come naturally, they're more liable to give up quickly if they can't make rapid strides.
I'd watch a Youtube series talking about Apple hardware releases. Talking about the changes since the last version, maybe some stories if they're well known, as well as demonstrating actual machines in use.

Because the employer wants to display a low price to attract you into the store, labor protections in the US tend to be weak, and employers tend not to like transparency about their labor costs - it's an uninteresting distraction to most consumers and a free gift to the competition. There's a first mover disadvantage and if the relationship between employer and staff is adversarial then employees generally lack leverage in corporate-decision-making.

The best source of money is savings. Go work in a top company for two years, you may come out with $100k-$200k savings and a co-founder to boot.
"Maybe some of us self taught developers should get together and curate a clear path for CS knowledge and ancillary helpful things."

I wouldn't mind spending some time contributing to something like that. There is an endless amount of material to read and classes to take, but narrowing it down and prioritizing is the hard part.
It is reasonable, but it's also reasonable to factor in the actual situation, which is that tipping is the norm in the US. You can either make the coffee $3.60 - and seem more expensive than the place next door - or you can make it $3 and assume everyone tips.

Also, if you make it $3.60, everyone will still try to tip.
I had exactly the same thought.

Searches AFAIK are generlly speaking made by sworn LEO's or however public officers so that even within the invasivity of such a thing, at least in theory, the search is performed according to the Law and to the authorization the Court gave.

Maybe in Australia there is a Law allowing this kind of searches ?

Or maybe these searches happen anyway at the presence/with the assistance of a public officer?

You’re rather dismissive and uncharitable, aren’t you?
There's a bit of survivorship bias; those who don't do well on tips don't last in tipped industries, both because tips are a big part of income and because tips are used as performance metrics.
So the new Pixel includes U2F hardware in the device? That's cool - apparently, the flagship Chromebook has dormant U2F hardware, too.

Unfortunately, some providers (mainly Twitter) poorly implemented U2F by only allowing one device per account.
waitstaff think certain types of people tip poorly and will treat them differently though.

They also almost definitely remember (and talk about) people who don't tip at all.
Libraries served a very important purpose, but nowadays with the proliferation of computers/smartphones and all literary classics, scientific information, etc. being freely available online, physical libraries feel like less of a necessity. They can serve as hubs for other community activities, but those can just as easily be held elsewhere. Only real use I've had for one in the past years is the odd time I had to print or fax something. Maybe libraries should eventually be downsized to simple community cybercafes with links on the desktop to some of these resources and a printer/fax machine.
This totally makes sense. I never understood how stuff shipped from China costs less than the cost of a package sent in the US.
Nah, the rich were only able to afford libraries. Now that they are "free (with taxes of course)," anyone can use it. You can use the same logic for school. You want schools to be paid? Okay, then the poor wouldn't be able to afford anything and they are stuck in a ever-looping hole of poverty.
what people mean when they "can" sleep only 6 hours a night is that it doesnm't get painful to be awake and talking. They are still going to be slow and have just gotten used to it.
Tips are not untaxed.

Many servers just don't bother to report cash tips (aka: tax fraud).
trishume hits the nail on the head here. The mutation strategy is well aware of how this system works.

Each core gets a completely unique fuzz case, where each lane of the vector gets a small mutation. In _many_ cases this mutation doesn't even affect flow (eg, the mutated parts are skipped over or never parsed due to errors). Meaning all 16 run to completion. What's really important here is that when the small modification you made to an individual lane does actually cause it to diverge, you now know where and when that part of the input is used in the program. This information is huge and can be used to tweak weights and other parameters of mutators/generators, making them learn which fields to use when and how often.

With some better logic (covered in a later blog) I'll talk more about handling fully divergent cases by having graph analysis to find post dominators in functions and run VMs until they can sync up. Rather than the current model of "sync if you can", this will be a smart forward-looking sync that will ensure that by the end of every function all VMs will be running again (even if that means I have to insert artifical post dominator nodes to graphs).
I don't see the problem here, though I am questioning who's providing police services in that county now.

If people want to vote to refuse to fund having a police service, how is that wrong? If they want to go without, that's their choice. Of course, that could have some pretty nasty consequences, but again, they voted for it, and it's their choice. I do hope, however, that the state and federal authorities will keep an eye on things, and if anything bad happens which results in a huge lawsuit, that the people of that county will be literally forced (even if it means forcibly seizing all their property) to pay the judgments.

As a very wise Frenchman once wrote, "every nation gets the government it deserves". The people in these rural counties are getting the government they deserve.
Probably. The particular wording makes it sound like there might be more to the 7 day thing than just a cooloff period. Not sure what that would even be, really.

Yes, we should absolutely respect the settings in the "typography" preference pane that all browsers have, where all users lovingly set their preferred text spacing, indentation, and justification. Oh wait! There isn't one. In fact, most users not only haven't explicitly made these choices, they can't explicitly make these choices. Are you arguing that the "system's choices" are some bastion of well-considered design sensibility that we violate at our peril? Really? Nuts to that.
This is a pretty nice looking tool. It seems free. How will you monetize it?

Yes, the Raspberry Pi supports this (via the smaller non-GUI “Raspbian lite” SD image), with Bash, Python, and JavaScript. No GUI or browser or internet connection required. Plug in TV and keyboard and fire up an editor.

(You will want to change the keyboard layout from uk to us first, but after that it is smooth sailing.)

For daily use, you or your child may have to log in as pi/raspberry first, it does not boot directly to a REPL, as there is an OS. But immediately after typing a username and password you are in a bash REPL that is fully programmable.

If you then type ‘node’ or ‘python’ you get the same thing.

TBH I would have preferred a bash shell with readline and an editor to appleII BASIC when growing up.

Only cash tips are untaxed, and only if the worker evades taxes by not reporting them. Given how common card tipping is (and the article is entirely about this) I don't imagine it makes a particularly big difference.
