If you're already setting a budget that strictly why not just take the 2 minutes to figure out what pre-tax&tip total would keep you under $10? With 7.5% sales tax and a reasonable 15% tip 8 dollars pretax comes to 9.80.
I think it depends on the type of company. I've never worked at a startup but it wouldn't surprise me if they tend to avoid older workers. I work for a larger company in the Bay Area and there are plenty of older workers (myself included). Anecdotally I've also known of older workers succeeding at other large Bay Area companies.

In the context of a decision not made by an algorithm, would you find acceptable an explanation like "many repeated studies from well-known and reputed institutions and universities have concluded that X leads to Y, and therefore as a way of providing Y to our customers, we have chosen to do X"?

In case your answer is yes, would it be acceptable to use the track record of a particular network and similarly trained networks, and why or why not?

It’s not actually a lower minimum wage, employees must make minimum wage including tips or employers are legally required to make up the difference.

If everyone stopped tipping for a month the industry would be forced to change as the labor pool would dry up until wages are increased.

Tipping is part of business strategy to bait and switch people with lower prices. It's becoming common to hide the real price of things as we see with tips, resort fees, service charges, booking/ticket printing fees etc. Just give us the real price upfront.

> More importantly, there is some actual work being done or service rendered for the tip.

No, that isn’t for the tip, that is literally the job they are paid to do by their employer. Choosing to tip should only be if they have gone above and beyond what you would expect. I’m from the UK and find the US tipping culture bizzare and stressful - I had truly terrible service in a restaurant in New York once and they literally chased me to the door when they realised I hadn’t tipped and threatened to call the police if I didn’t tip him at least 10%.

"Conference" has always meant any formal(-ish) gathering of people talking together. From OED: a formal meeting for discussion.

References to geography in Oregon are funny. Portlanders always refer to Bend (for example) as "Eastern Oregon" even though it is the center of the state. Actually, it's to the west-center if anything. Wallowa, Union, Baker counties might as well be the other side of the planet. ;-D
> The central rural parts of Oregon are killing their communities out of ignorance.

Are you sure? I am not sure about this instance, but in many other rural instances where these measures are voted against, it's not out of ignorance. Rather it's out of disagreement with money mismanagement. Again, can't speak to this case in particular, but too often outsiders judge these actions by voters as anti-funding instead of anti-waste. Then they call them ignorant and wonder why they vote the way they do in larger elections that do affect them. On the opposite end, I am seeing more and more people guilting their fellow citizens into raising taxes because something can't be funded otherwise as though the amount currently taxed isn't enough. Nobody ever wants to fix/reroute budget-making/spending at the top, they just want to assume you need to take more to fund anything and label their peers as ignorant who disagree (not saying you are doing this because, again, I don't know about that county in Oregon).
I have to agree. The fact that evolution is the only process we know have spawned consciousness just resonates with me.

Google's not going to be making any more money under this plan, and that's my point: This Bloomberg article has suggested a completely fictional interpretation of events.

Google previously offered a single bundle of apps, one that contained apps that it made money on, and one that contained apps that cost them money. Since OEMs are required to include all of them, Google charges $0 for them.

Now, they'll have two bundles: One that phone makers will pay for, and one that phone makers will be paid to include. If they're still getting both bundles, it's a wash. Again, $0 changes hands.

But what could happen now that it's unbundled, is Bing could pay to have Bing preloaded instead by outbidding Google, and then they can still pay for the Play Store and such. In that scenario, the OEM actually saves money under this change, because there's competition to Google now, where that wasn't possible before. Bing would pay the OEM per phone more than the OEM has to pay Google for the Play Store.
In my experience you can't know what is 'normal' until you have seen it, so fixing the rate at the start would be unduly onerous.

People have lives which can sometimes look spammy, like you are made the coordinator of the school potluck and suddenly you're sending email to 150 parents asking them to volunteer to bring food. But after that event you go back to your regular rate.

Because this isn't a "PC" in the sense that it is more difficult to be overtaken by a virus and start sending spam without your knowledge, and as a mail service provider you know that email originating from the device has to come from a specific domain, you have a lot more tools to detect that someone is being a bad actor or not.
There's a great video from Clever CEO about How to Sell:

My experience in tech is that companies will go above and beyond to hire minorities including women, big companies will sometimes lower requirements to get more of these candidates in. You have to be wary though particularly with startups who talk a lot about culture, usually it translates to 'you should be working on our product in your spare time'.
I think it’s possible that apple and others are still working on a small phone. Demand for small phones has increased in the past year or two and the lead time for development of new phones afaik is 2+ years. It’ll take time for other phone makers to respond to the demand.

My favorite algorithm is of course one of my own: a dynamic error correction code which is capable of on-the-fly fixing of errors occurring due to data races in a highly parallel unsynchronized computation. I demonstrated it in the domain of cellular automata, which has non-trivial concurrency topology (dependency DAG) and is Turing complete. Yet, I see little possibility of using it for anything practical. A barren beauty. Sigh.

>(and the expectation is in law, as evidenced by the lower minimum wage)

By that logic, tipping is not an expectation since the law says that if the tips do not equal enough to bring the worker's earning up to the minimum wage limit, then the employer has to pay them the actual minimum wage and not the tipping minimum wage.

Many employers will not follow the law, but the solution to that is to punish the employers and empower and incentive the employees to seek out enforcement of the law.

Monitoring can be done on multiple levels. Consider: DNS hits, traffic intensity per domain and LDAP logins. All of this can be done transparently if you work from an office or use a VPN to access intra or client stuff.

If your company is sufficiently motivated they may have theft-prevention stuff on company-owned hardware that will be more than happy to send a live audio-video stream without your knowledge.

Managers may even not know about the more insane stuff because they're being monitored as well...

Monitoring measures deployed by HR are usually laughable and just a smoke screen meant to show how "backwards" they are.
You're right that the gratuity is optional, but there is still a strong general expectation that most people will tip. The optionality gives the tipper discretion in any specific situation, not an indefinite free ride with no social consequences. The server wouldn't work for $2.13/hr (presumably) without the expectation, so by never tipping the GP is freeloading on the other customers.

Likewise there is an expectation of good service from waitstaff, but they're not obligated to give good service. They too have the option of giving better or worse service at their discretion. So if a server wants to give everyone equal service that's their right. But if I want to develop a reputation as a good tipper to get my service prioritized over GP by servers who differentiate then that's ok too, and rational I think.

Of course "everyone" knows its a problem, but your anecdote does nothing to help solve it. The issue is the cultural momentum around the idea that college is the first and nearly only gateway into the middle class. We need to be discussing how to correct this pervasive misconception, not patting ourselves on our backs because we didn't fall for it. And blaming students for falling for what seemingly every authority in society was telling them is a grave mistake.
I view the policy which "forces" employers to makeup the differences in pay as the same one that permits them to underpay workers. Perhaps the point in net is the exploitation of the working class in restaurants.

One must question why a subset of the food service industry should be treated so differently than any other. Is the McDonalds restaurant worker (who gets no tip) just doing so well that they don't deserve the same consideration from the public as someone working in a ramen shop? Or does that employee face a different commute and living situation? The delineation is strange.
> In reality, does anyone see anything other than a bad ending to all of this?

Do I think we, collectively as humans, have the will and the actual resources to change everything about "our" modern way of life in 10 years? Nope. Not one bit. Should we stop trying? Nope, not one bit.

Do I think all living things will die? No. I do think large populations will die as a result of climate change, which means they will no longer be contributing to and accelerating the problem. I mean if 20% of the population (number out of thin air) die, that means the factories that generated the things those people were consuming wouldn't be needed, the food they would have eaten wouldn't be needed, etc. All resources those people were consuming, and the byproducts of creating those resources, would go away.

So, the "healing process" would start to accelerate and maybe after 100 years, we'll be back at the point where we get to do it all over again because we don't seem to collectively learn beyond what makes the most money the easiest way. "I know x is bad, but I gotta feed my family..." or "I refuse to see it as bad because that's my job and I don't want to feel badly about myself."

I think the sad fact that no one wants to really admit/mention is we are overpopulating the planet. I know, I know... "you could take the whole population of the US and put them in x state and they'll each have x acres," etc. But that doesn't take into account the factories generating pollution to create the things that sustain their lives, or the space it takes to grow the food to sustain them, etc.

I'm not a scientist nor a expert in this subject, but those are my layman impressions gathered over the last 45 years. People rarely change unless they are forced to, or it's too late. I hope I'm wrong.
I work for Grove; company-wide we have a pretty wide age spread (between 20's and 40's/50's from what I can tell without walking around asking people how old they are). Per-department is a bit of a different story, but Engineering seems to be reasonably age-diverse.

We're also hiring pretty aggressively right now (grove.co/careers), for what it's worth.
Let's complicate things more. Sometimes the tips are split between the front and back of the house, so not tipping on takeout is still impacting service worker's income.

One of my mom's close friends is an animal handler for a circus. I first met him when I was in 3rd grade shortly after moving into our new house. I let the dog out for a walk and this dude rides a Harley up the lawn, gets off, pulls out a whip, and asks if my mom was home. I slammed the door shot and yelled to my mom, who ran out and give him a hug.

Thirty minutes later, the lion tamer is in the yard showing my parents and me the finer points of operating a whip. The neighbors must have loved us!

Fast forward almost 20 years, and the animal handler was at the house the day I brought my girlfriend (now wife!) home to meet the folks for the first team. He regaled us with stories, such as having a shredded leg fixed up at a back alley surgeon in Thailand, and being stranded on an airport tarmac with a pair of elephants somewhere in China. He gave my GF his business card, which had the tagline "If it's wild, I work it."

He did work for Ringling Bros. for a couple years, but most of his work has been with smaller circus acts. Definitely an interesting dude.
Can we also have the opposite? I would like to know exactly what tax dollars are spent on. Preferably going back in time as well.
I think a lot of the frustration isn't from tipping... it's from tip creep.

To many people, tipping feels like an unfair relic of the past that can be associated with negatives like racism (servers of color receiving less), pay disparity (why do underpaid servers get to benefit from tips but not underpaid line cooks), etc.

At least here in NYC there's been a growing movement of "tip included" restaurants and coffee shops, which feels like social progress.

But when my bakery added a prominent tip jar (not even a cafe!), when Uber added a reminder about tipping after each ride -- it can feel like society moving backwards.
I've worked in food service for many years. I worked in kitchens for many years and I have to say I hate tips! Now-a-days I'm more fortunate and don't work in kitchens anymore. My biggest problems with tips is when I'm making (for example) $10/hour and I see the waitstaff counting out the hundreds of dollars in tips they got that night when I get $400/wk minus taxes.

It is disparaging that one's performance while working in a kitchen is not only not rewarded, but the reward for good kitchen performance is actually given to the waitstaff.

Just to be clear, I do tip. I usually just go with $5, $10, $15 or $20. If the order is really large I might do the math just to make sure I'm in the ballpark. If the food is particularly good, I will send a $20 back "to the chef".

Kids in the 60s were similarly entitled. Watch the Woodstock documentary to see a bunch of hippies trash a small town and leave the townspeople and federal gov't to keep them safe and foot the bill.

The difference is that a hippie who got bored with a commune could get a job and in less than a year had disposable income to pay for goods and services.

Now take a 20-something today who gets bored playing fortnite and decides to get a job. It's the same as the hippie, except a) they have something like 50K of debt (and rising), b) from day 1 their place of business starts getting telemarketer calls for student load consolidation, c) debt collectors call their employer in an attempt to intimate and harass them, d) at worst their wages are garnished to pay the interest on their loan, e) they are depressed because of a-e. (Aside: when that employee leaves the organization the debt consolidation telemarketers very quickly cease calling, which is super creepy.)

That last point about depression is key. Imagine the existential crisis of a hippie who must challenge their idealism and come to terms with the much more limited (yet realistic) freedom that comes when working for a living. Now for the fortnite player add a sense of interminable dread from a sea of debt that cannot be unloaded even in bankruptcy. The small joy of choosing what to do with the money one has saved is gone when one cannot save any money.

I can't think of any persuasive argument that says the hippies wouldn't have been swimming in debt if college had been funded that way in the 60s.

Upshot-- I can't figure out the source of your mixed feelings. If students today are entitled, they are no more entitled than previous generations of students who didn't deal with this kind of debt crisis.

Anyway, a critique of a human institution almost always involves humans who are not acting responsibly. If every institutional critique devolves into a discussion of how irresponsible a critical mass of the actors are, what's the point of doing the institutional critique?
Retro/Vintage computing enthusiast here. I actually got into playing around with old computers because I was interested in using a computer that simply ran Microsoft BASIC for the operating system. Much simpler times! But yeah, I don't think there is anything out there right now like what you're talking about. I would suggest simply purchasing a retro computer if you want to teach your kids the old school way. Python is a pretty good substitute for BASIC in my opinion, the only problem is you have to teach object-oriented stuff if your students want to make anything interesting with graphics. (I teach kids to code btw, thus my interest in the topic)

EDIT: I forgot to mention FreeBASIC. With FreeBASIC you can do a lot of stuff the old school way, including graphics. However, I haven't actually gotten around to playing with FreeBASIC yet so I don't have a whole lot to say about it.
Or maybe people don't care about being spied upon, getting updates, and don't even know what bloatware is.
What You Missed from Sneaks at MAX 2018
I also used to not tip on takeout orders for the same reason until someone who used to work at a restaurant told me I should.

The explanation made sense to me though: The same waiter that waits tables has to package your food for you. Obviously it doesn't take as much of their time as people who sit down to eat so you tip less, but you're still using their time that would otherwise have been spent on people sitting at the restaurant.

Of course I wish we could just get rid of tipping by increasing the costs of the goods and paying them higher.
