Piano overtones are normally off-pitch (in a sense), and guitar too, to a lesser extent. I would imagine organ overtones to be highly dependent on the design of the specific instrument, but I'm guessing they are largely more harmonic.

My continued disagreement is with "most industries". I think software, especially in "tech hubs" like Silicon Valley has been extremely privileged in raises and I think that colors a false perception of other industries here.

Historically, it seems to be a nice privileged outlier for white collar positions, at most; blue collar work has rarely paid a premium for any individual, much less for experience, and in general has worked very hard to avoid thinking of labor in terms of individuals.

Anecdotally, I've yet to see this "significant raise" for ten years of experience in my own career, and among peers I've straw-polled neither have they. Some have only gotten that cost of living raise through complicated job hopping. Admittedly, I've prioritized overall standard of living over raw income for most of my career to date. I could be doing better, but I'm doing alright.

It does very much look from my cynical point of view that industries that will pay a premium for individuals with experience are few, and increasingly disappearing/extinct in an overall marketplace that hasn't respected labor in decades. The only guaranteed "industry" in current American economics with significant raises of any sort is the C-Suite fraternity. Software has been very fortunate to keep getting good table scraps, with luck, in tech hubs, before cost of living and work/life balance are adjusted for. Lawyers and Doctors with collective effort have done okay protecting their wage gains. I don't think there are many other industries beyond those that can claim the same, even (and maybe especially) adjusting the averages for age.
I am not the person you replied but in C style syntax when you type { in an IDE the { is inserted automatically so there is no risk to forget about it, also if you copy paste a piece of code you just run the action to reformat the file or the selected code and the braces will correctly fall onto place.

I am not saying that Python syntax is a big issue, but is one more thing to keep in mind and it potentially trip up children(probably something more visual that is impossible to make syntax errors is better but I did not find something that is engaging enough)

Both excellent points! Also, sales people don't come cheap but effective sales people bring in far more revenue than they cost in commissions.

But... there is probably a baseline price below which it doesn't make sense to have a full time sales person knocking on doors. In that case, drop down one level to "Inside Sales" where you hire people to cold call a list and pitch your product.

If your product can't afford inside sales, sell direct online and optimize your funnel.

Skimming the materials at Open Courseware is really good. Just reading the problem sets from the thermo course I took 30 years ago brought back lots of buried memories and forced me to learn some stuff I honestly hadn't at the time.

That's not the argument, though. The argument is that we've been genetically modifying our food since the dawn of civilization via selective breeding, to the point where there's no such practical thing as non-GMO food, rendering the anti-GMO efforts fruitless (pun intended).

The actual issue with this argument is that there's a pretty big difference between selective breeding (which is leveraging a natural process to artificially encourage or suppress phenotypes) and modern-day genetic modification with more precise gene editing (e.g. with CRISPR or somesuch); the kind of genetic modification being done today is very different from the kind of genetic modification we've been doing for millennia. I guess that's similar to nuclear reactors (natural or otherwise) being very different from nuclear warheads, but the argument ain't about it being natural; it's about it being normal (gene editing ain't quite normal yet) or safe (as far as I know it is, but I'm no expert on the subject).

On that note, unless you're out in the wilderness foraging for nuts and berries, the food you eat is almost certainly not "natural" in a strict sense; even without selective breeding, the very concept of agriculture is quite far removed from nature (and I'd argue that selective breeding is a dependency of at least modern agriculture, and probably agriculture in general, prehistoric included).
For decades, local counties in Oregon were allowed to put a small tax/fee on each load of timber hauled out of the national forests. This was because while it was federal forests, the county still had to maintain roads, build hospitals, schools, etc. In the 90's, logging was drastically cut back, due to several factors (the spotted owl being a major one). For about 20 years, the federal government kept making those payments. About 10 or so years ago, those payments stopped. Most of the counties couldn't/wouldn't cut back, even though they knew that it was coming (their senators had brought home the bacon the past years, etc).

But no longer having that subsidy, plus the very anti-government (this is the state of jefferson [1]) anti-tax people that lived there meant funds were re-allocated to critical infrastructure only. (ie, parks are no longer watered/mowed, no libraries, the bare minimum gaurds at jails, (not what is best practices), etc

People should be voting for what's best for society as a whole. Sure, consider your own interests as part of that, but "I make $200k therefore people making $200k should get tax breaks" is a pretty shitty way to be.

The "practice of EE" and an actual EE education are not the same thing.

An example: this morning I was thinking of a model where I need to open and close a door when a sensor is activated. The simplest way would be for it to pivot on a horizontal axis like an old-school garage door. Now, given a certain weight of door, how do I calculate the amount of torque my motor/drive-train needs in order to open that door?

The average graduate with an EE degree should have no trouble getting the answer in a few minutes: it's basic physics and algebra (maybe calculus if you want precision). But the average person who learned EE from watching YouTube channels probably will have difficulty.

> Is there a utility to having your types and your values in the same namespace?

Well somewhat[0], but the main putative benefit would be having types be valid expressions in the target language, since you can do type-checking with function decorators, and generally interact with types useing the normal language mechanism for interacting with values, rather than some horrid bolted-on piece of crap like C++ templates.

Server = Tuple[Address,ConnectionOptions] # array subscipt might not the best choice here, but it works
UserId = NewType('UserId',int) # ordinary function call
Scalar = int | str # could be equivalent to Union[int,str] with appropriate value of Type.__or__

0: for example:

def intBit(N):
if N==0: return type(None)
if N==1: return Bool
if N>INT_WIDTH: return long
return int
I’m not a US resident but that’s been an interesting read.

About the expectations, the good thing is they change fast. France had the same path, where tipping was strongly expected in cafes. In particular, as it was smallish amounts, people usually paid cash (or the cafe would just refuse credit cards below some fair amount) and it was easier to leave something on the table.

In a few years contactless became widely available, laws on obligation to take payments also became pervasive, and people paying a 2E coffee by card is not unusual anymore.

Numbers of tips have crashed [0] and the cafe owners are coming to terms with it. Anecdotaly amost places I saw baked the tip into final ticket as a “service fee”.

I think the same kind of mechanics will come at play most places. Why ask the customer for some random amount on a screen when everyone will be less awkward to just have it as a fixed line item in the receipt ?

You'd be surprised by the lack of understanding of compound interest overall.

When talking about putting away money for a retirement plan, other 20-somethings I work with are deer-in-headlights about the little known fact that the rest of their non-working quality of life starts right where they're at now, not ten years down the road after the university, home ownership, car, and child-rearing costs are taken care of.

In total transparency, my parents taught my sister and I nothing about interest rates, and co-signed a good amount of money between the two of us. One of us is debt free, while the other is still struggling to pay down a 6.x% variable 55k note, has another house note around 150k, and a car note around 35k. We both have technical degrees and work in technical professions, so what went wrong?
This is also used in TCP with timeouts and ACKs. The idea is you have an expected timeout (ETO) and a retransmission time out (RTO). Initially, you set RTO to ETO and then you send a packet. If you don't get an ACK back, and the timer for the RTO expires, you then set RTO = 2 * RTO. Otherwise, reset RTO = ETO. I think they referred to this as 'exponential averaging' however.
How do I pull the plug?
What is the curriculum? Is it web development or mobile development?
They don't lower the prices; they just fail to raise them. I.e., the costs of paying their employees would have gone up, and thereby forced them to raise (visible) prices; but since what went up instead is the societally-expected tip, their employees have already had their compensation adjusted to match inflation, and so the employees are not costing the employer any more than previously, and so the employer doesn't need to raise the base price of the good.

First they came for the 20% at Per Se, and I did not speak out, for I wasn't the person paying the tab.

Then they came for the 20% at Ruth's Chris, and I did not speak out, for I had gotten tipsy on cabernet.

Then they came for the 20% at Olive Garden, and I did not speak out, for I thought the server was attractive.

Then they came for the 20% at Intelligentsia, and I did not speak out, for the creeping norm of paying 20% had been established.

They they came for 20% of my internal organs --- and there was nobody left to speak for me.
Personally, as a technical founder that learned some sales and is still learning, I would say that the biggest mistake I initially did is picking wrong sales "role models".

All "role models" for sales I knew were akin to used car salesmen. They try to push something on you very hard using cheap sales tactics.

This doesn't work in B2B, especially enterprise. Sleaze salesmen are going extinct. People are getting immune to any "one weird trick to get a sale". You are there to solve your customer problem, help your sponsor look good inside their enterprise and only then get paid. Focus on maximizing the value you are providing to the customer, making this value very clear as early as possible and only after that getting a fraction of that value back in $.

Brixels: 500+ programmable motorized bricks that glow and spin 360 degrees
Living in the San Francisco Bay Area, it was strange to see 22 year old recent graduates arriving and immediately making six figure salaries while constantly complaining about homeless people and describing certain areas with large black and Latino populations as "sketchy"/"ghetto"/"unsafe".

It was very surreal (and sad) watching the demographics become much more homogenous in the little corner store in the Castro I worked in. Our customer base was once incredibly diverse, lots of LGBTQ folks, and also lots of families. Slowly it became predominantly white and East/South Asian, young, single, and affluent. We went from seeing EBT card usage drop from about 4-5 customers a day ($200 daily average) to one (literally) every 3 and half weeks by the end of 2016.

In a similar vein: every tech company I've known whose product involves manual labor (think: delivery, cleaning, retrieving scooters, packing/receiving, food preparation, etc) treats and thinks about the workers doing the manual labor very differently than the creatives, engineers, product folks, sales leads, etc. The employees doing the manual labor are held to very different standards of productivity and timeliness, often don't get benefits, definitely don't get equity, and generally enjoy little room for advancement, and often they will be employees in all but name and rights (1099).

Some of this is understandable to a point as their work is mission critical -- if your cooks show up late constantly and your product is "Uber but for tapas", then your customer experience is going to suffer. But a tendency I've observed personally and heard from friends in those jobs is that it seems acceptable for manual workers to be shouted at, threatened, and generally be treated abusively, while the same certainly wouldn't be ok if directed at someone making salary. Meanwhile as an engineer if I have a zero day, no one says a word to me, or if they do they're very polite about it.
Sounds like they addressed this.

" For a more personalized experience, employees can also walk customers through an order over the phone: when it’s time to collect the payment, the agent activates Twilio <Pay>"

Of course, larger places have their own non-Twilio Voice PBX and lines, so I'm not sure if this approach only works if the call originally came in via Twilio.

What you describe applies to restaurants with full service waiters and possibly people parking your car. Nowhere else. Certainly it doesn't apply to places where there is no extra services that have recently installed these devices. I can't really think of any other situations where tipping is common in the US.
