"Today I learned", except it was about a year ago when this discussion was last on HN.

I've spent about six months in the USA, mostly on family holidays and business travel, and never knew it was expected to tip housekeeping.

Yeah. $2-5 a day.

Synesthesia is weird and can be pretty specific. I have it - I "hear" flavors, although it's more about tones than pitches (think drums and cymbals rather than pianos). And part of it is about shape.

I would like to chime in that I also very much enjoy L-Theanine. In addition to (I think) helping me focus, it has an even more pronounced effect on anxiety. When I take L-Theanine and have some obtrusive thought -- cooked up especially to make me anxious by some adversarial force deep in my sub conscious -- I can pretty easily let it go. Most noticeably, the strong 'pit in the stomach' feeling that both signals and reinforces anxiety is absent.

I would encourage nearly anyone to try it. It's an amino acid found in the highest concentrations in green tea. If you've ever had a couple cups of green tea and noticed you feel relaxed and focused, you might want to try an L-Theanine supplement.

> If people want to reduce the tax burden on folks with low incomes just scraping by, the way to accomplish that is by increasing taxes on corporate profits

This is completely wrong.

The poor either don't pay income taxes or pay very little income tax, because the marginal tax rates for low income levels are so low. That's by design.

Wherever the tax is levied - on corporations or on individuals - doesn't affect the incidence of the tax; that is, who really pays, at the end of the day. When you tax corporations, that actually increases the tax burden on the very poor. The amount that they are directly paying in April[0] might be the same, but the total burden of the tax is passed on to both workers and shareholders alike, in the form of lower wages, lower dividends, and lower share prices.

All of which only has any effect other than to hurt service workers only if everyone goes along. Which ain't gonna happen.

Although I'm European I'd like to say that having only the way to download all harvested data and ability to correct the basic information provided like name, last name etc. is not enough. There should be also a way to request data purge on their servers - the descriptions of categories I saw when log in there aren't something I wish they would store and process - no matter how blurred or meaningless they are. That's still data about me and I believe I should have the control over it. Moreover, the purge request should be the industry standard (and that's what was missing in my opinion in GDPR) - even if it would take time to process the request, I would like to have such ability.

‘450 Amazon employees tell Bezos to kick Palantir off AWS’
Ive lived in small towns like these where everything got defunded. Maybe there were a few individuals who cared about mismanagement of funds. The majority, and the vocal ones, were saying "Why should I pay for schools when my kids have graduated?", "Why should I pay for fixing the roads when I live on a state maintained road?", "Why should I pay for firefighters when no one's house has burned down in my neighborhood".

They are explicitly anti-funding and of a "fuck you, I got mine" mentality

> You are being asked to share with a service worker's employer some of the burden of compensating them.

The entire burden of compensating them is on me either way, isn't it? The employer doesn't pay the employee out of his own money. He pays it out of the money that comes from customers.

The question is simply the route. Either I pay $4 for a muffin, and all of it goes to the employer before any reaches the employee, or I pay $3 for the muffin to the employer, some of which gets passed on to the employee, and $1 directly to the employee.

Tipping complicates things. That's why I don't like it. Not only does it reintroduce math, but it also introduces complexity in my relationships with every server of every kind. Did I tip enough? Did I tip enough in his opinion? Did I need to tip that guy that did that little thing? Do they hate me now? Will they do something to my food? Will they slack off next time, out of resentment? These are not things I need to be thinking about after every transaction.

Down with all tipping! And daylight savings time! I don't know why, but in my heart they are connected. And maybe I'm finally ready to adopt the metric system.

Listen more than you speak. The customer will tell you their pain points which is your chance to see if you have a solution.

Read "How to Win Friends and Influence People"-Dale Carnegie, to keep empathy in mind when dealing with different people.

Create a system to track all sales interactions in a pipeline. Potential deals enter and move through confirmation stages: customer interested, value proven to customer, customer says they'll buy, purchase order received, check clears and product delivered. Take the $ amount of the potential deal and value it at 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% as it progresses.

If you build a pipeline of deals you'll have an idea of how much revenue to expect from your current prospects. 200% pipeline value to your goal would give you a lot o confidence that you'll close enough deals to make your number.

Yes, absolutely, because cross-platform and web technologies can only go surface deep. What the industry really needs to spark innovation in the native development spaces is new engineering minds asking, "Why does native take so long to development?" and solving these problems to raise the bar for the rest of the industry.

People who operate and can contribute to this space can help us make the most of our hardware today, decreasing energy consumption, reducing disk space utilization, lowing RAM requirements, all to make the most of our devices.

Enhancing native UI development across the big three platforms is more critical than ever as we see Moore's law lose meaningful ground.
Feel free to contact me (email is in my profile) if you have specific questions.

A couple of things stand out;

1) Your resume has the potential of being very intimidating to someone, sometimes less is more. Trim it to just what they hiring manager cares about.

2) You said "Everything from senior engineer to VP of engineering" have you applied to "just engineering" roles?

I ask because both senior engineering and VP roles typically have a very high level of "hiring risk" associated with them. Specifically, if you are interviewing at places outside the network of people who know your work, whether or not your idea of how to fill a senior role is the same as the company where you are interviewing its a very real question. It can cause a tremendous amount of churn in an organization to hire someone in at a senior level who ends up not getting along with the rest of the team or company.

As a result you may find it easier to work initially at a lower level and then negotiate a raise/promotion rather than jumping in high. Everyone's situation is always a bit different.
This is very cool. One problem I see though is that most phone payment transactions happen over a regular phone call vs a dedicated session started over some IVR system. It would be very cool for businesses to be able to, say, have a payment bot join the call and then leave once the transaction is done.

RISC-V is technically an ISA with a reference implementation. In theory and practice, it can be implemented as a low-power micro controller or augmented with additional instructions to play in the supercomputer space. Processors simply cannot avoid conditional moves, but they can choose not to speculatively execute after a jump before it knows the result of the jump condition.

I am ignoring the commission aspect of the service, because in practice there often isn't any. Tips are frequently pooled, meaning all three servers in your hypothetical would end up with the same cut of the day's take regardless of their personal performance. Besides, if muffin vendors want to incentivize their staff with a commission scheme, why not just incentivize their staff with a commission scheme? Why force the general public to do it (badly) for them?

And the idea that eliminating tips would be "jacking up" prices is exactly the line of faulty reasoning that tips are designed to exploit. The muffin already costs 20% more than the number on the little plaque in front of it claims. Without tips the same amount of money would leave the customer's pocket and the employer and employee would still ultimately split the proceeds from that sale the same way. No prices actually change, but the numbers become a lot more honest and simpler for all parties to reason about.

The truth is vendors don't want prices to be simple to reason about because when they're difficult to reason about the other actors in the system will, on average, tend to make mistakes of reasoning in the vendor's favor.
The notch isn't really a design feature though... assuming you're being sarcastic.

Glib answer: centralize! Honestly this seems to be a cycle.

New management comes in, everything is centralized, big, slow, etc. The eggs-in-one-basket state.

They need to do something to make a mark so why not decentralize! Big project, political spin on whatever outcome, probably an imperfect one with some issues: complexity, silos, cost.

Next new management comes in - what can we do? Economies of scale, simplicity: let's centralize, woo!

There's a lot of cool stuff you can do with Mathematica and it is available for free on Pi, but some people will take offense at closed source proprietary software and for good reason. Some things in the Wolfram language are so amazing though. Stephen Wolfram has commented on how bad highschool CS education is. Learning hello world and some Java or JS is great, but being able to seamlessly use the thousands of functions in Mathematica is really neat. For example, things like Conway's Game of Life, other automata, sound processing, image processing, neural networks...etc are all built in and composable primitives. The big downside is you're really just learning their tech stack and you often use a declarative approach, so they may miss out on imperative concepts (for loops are a code smell in wolfram language).
I have a pet implementation of the frequency map that I'm overly fond of, for ascii strings:

(1) keep an array of length 127 that you re-use and set to 0 between calls
(2) for each character in the first string, increment the array at the character's index
(3) for each character in the second string, decrement the array at the character's index

If you end up with all 0s, it's an anagram.

For what it's worth, I have the exact same skill as you down to all of the details. I can remember many songs in their original key, sing them / whistle them within a few cents usually, identify the key of many notes most of the time, but by no means 100% of the time perfectly. It's probably something that could indeed be trained to be more "perfect", but as someone who does have "pretty good" absolute pitch, I still consider it a parlor trick. It's fun now and again, but it doesn't really help much with my music. Perhaps that's because I don't transcribe Bach concertos.

On the other hand, I completely agree that relative pitch has to be on point. I don't see how it's possible to be an effective musician without it. Being able to intuitively know intervals, certainly if you're a singer, is indispensable.
Well, obviously not literally impossible, more like incredible. They float away because they form an unattached air vortex above themselves, and it sucks them up. Flight without work.
Is your implication that all right-wing groups are seeking genocide, or otherwise trying to segregate or exclude based on gender, race or religion? I don't think that would come close to applying to even a majority.

I would say the Libertarian Party is not advocating for things that actively harm working people and minorities. Libertarians are in favor of equality in opportunity.

For that matter, there's no clear consensus that what most left-wing groups propose doesn't advocate for things that actively harm working people and minorities. Beyond this, groups like ANTIFA typically target violence at those who are not promoting racism, segregation or discrimination on the basis of gender, race or religion. The most violent left-wing groups tend to be environmental and animal rights groups.

Not to mention, so often in recent years it's the left that seeks to silence, censor, shut down and drown out differing opinions in the face of intelligent discussion. One of the most prominent examples would be Ben Shapiro, who has never advocated for violence, and has been a significant target of both the ALT-Right movement as well as the left.

The opportunity for rational discussion is lost when ideologues are so closed minded as to not even be able to listen or consider that they may be wrong. One must ALWAYS consider that you, yourself are wrong as a possibility when trying to push an agenda that would affect everyone.

The reason that was a problem was someone who worked hard to figure out how the TI machine worked was dead in the water when it came to the C64. Apple ][ people couldn't help you with anything other than the most basic of questions, beyond that it was all arcane hacks to get anything to happen.

When the C64 was a thing I'd estimate 50% of the students I knew had an NES or other console (Colecovision!) and maybe 20% had some kind of computer, most of which were different, incompatible models.

Nobody knew anything about anything, and getting advice from professionals was never going to happen.

Restaurant owners definitely track how much their customers are paying for meals and correlate it to how much business they're doing, both in terms of number of customers and in terms of revenue per customer.

They know that their customers judge the night based on total cost, which includes tips and taxes. That's why restaurant owners tend to be so militant about local meals taxes.

Restaurant owners do not ignore tips when setting prices, or when setting wages. It's kind of nuts to think that they would.
