Recipients of cash tips must report the income to the IRS for taxation purposes. The fact that many people choose to refuse to disclose their cash tip earnings doesn't mean that I should bulk up my taxes to make up for their fraud.
So ignoring 90% of the post and the entire point of it, got it

The perspective of “rewarding thieves” is a perspective I asked for

Yet you wouldnt have even commented except for the meta downvoting mention. I dont even think you realize that the “first” downvoting complaint was part of the original post and wasnt a complaint, it was because people are predictable and maybe they would continue reading and contribute to the thread

The AMP team is working on the exact opposite, which is adopting Web Packaging [1] that fixes the URL issue you are describing.

Not being paid wages doesn't mean not taking income. In an agricultural society, the produce of your farm, and profit from selling it is your income. You can't work the fields or go to market when you're bedridden with tuberculosis. Food didn't magically appear on people's plates ojt of thin air before capitalism.

Also, why are we pretending that precolonial society was exclusively barter driven and agricultural? Tradespeople go back to the dawn of time.
The problem is the company, not the commenter you're responding to. Is it really necessary for you to shame them when they expressed concern about this, just because they won't take as extreme an action as you want them to? They're expressing some honesty and self-awareness, and you're directing your outrage at them instead of Instacart.

Why don't you do something productive with your outrage, like changing your own lifestyle and keeping it to yourself? Or better yet, raise awareness without bullying someone else's attempt to process their frustration in an even-tempered way.
> For some people this money could be incredibly important.

That's exactly the problem. In Human Subjects Research this might be considered a violation of Informed Consent in the form of undue influence. From the Belmont Report [1]:

An agreement to participate in research constitutes a valid consent only if voluntarily given. This element of informed consent requires conditions free of coercion and undue influence. Coercion occurs when an overt threat of harm is intentionally presented by one person to another in order to obtain compliance. Undue influence, by contrast, occurs through an offer of an excessive, unwarranted, inappropriate or improper reward or other overture in order to obtain compliance. Also, inducements that would ordinarily be acceptable may become undue influences if the subject is especially vulnerable.

Note the "especially vulnerable" part at the end there.

That's kind of what I was trying to get at, probably unsuccessfully. That maybe the anger shouldn't lie with FB or the fact this program exists but with the fact we are in place that people will accept that little for so much.
The best approach that I've seen is a combination of Shannon information and Kolmogorov complexity. If an object has high Shannon information, then it is not crystalline. If it also has low Kolmogorov complexity then it is not random. This seems to characterize the sweet spot where meaningful information occurs. Kolmogorov called this quantity "randomness deficiency".
I was interested in this line as well.

On Android, the Call Blocker app from embware does "starts with" and "ends with" matching.

Blocker does a good job on dropping unwanted calls in such a way that they rarely have an opportunity to go to voicemail.

This is the correct answer.

A culture that doesn’t have a strong child-protective drive, and a strong drive toward kindness and treading lightly, is likely to disintegrate and eventually destroy the each other and the world.

The carriers should pick up the ball a little bit and deal with the spam call problem at the network level, rather than leaving it to apps.

How can the tech be broken that call display can be spoofed; like someone obviously from outside of your area spoofs a number in your area. I can't believe that can't be intercepted.

They just don't care beyond collecting a monthly bill from you.

Which is why utility companies get tax breaks, direct tax funding, and legal monopolies.

What you’re saying is the current system of zero risk, high gain, is acceptable.

In this case pg&e deliberately chose not to perform maintenance on their lines, despite turning a profit (meaning they could afford to do more) and despite receiving tax payer money specifically for the purpose of that maintenance.

Instead the issued dividends to private people and orgs, and to executive bonuses.

Those people have now have that money, a lot of which already came from taxpayersz the same tax payers that have now been left with the bill for damage caused by pg&e not doing what it had agreed to do.

That is a pretty canonical example of heads I win, tails you lose.

In fact as long as companies are allowed to behave like this (eg with no criminal liability in management), there is no downside to this kind of theft.
Just checked, I got this feature on stock samsung s8(phone-settings-block numbers-block unknown callers)? Are you talking about iphone(as if it is a default phone vendor) ?
What an awful false equivalence.
No, it's the arithmetic intensity of the operation in a roofline model sense [1] that indicates whether or not the GPU is worth it, and whether you are in a memory bandwidth or compute bound regime.

Asymptotic algorithmic complexity for a serial processor is meaningless here, it provides no indication on how a parallel machine (e.g., a PRAM or other, or perhaps trying to map it to the GPU's unique SIMD model) will perform on the problem.

The arithmetic intensity per byte of memory loaded or stored for sort or join is low. You can exploit memory reuse when data is loaded in the register file for sorting (for a larger working set), but you can do that for sorting on SIMD CPUs in any case with swizzle instructions (e.g., bitonic sorting networks). The GPU is only worth it to exploit the higher memory bandwidth to global memory here, if you're comparing a single CPU to a single GPU.

I don't have a good answer for you. My bad answer is I trust Google/Microsoft a little more when they say they aren't looking at your emails than I trust FB with Everything you do on your phone and no guarantee of what they are doing with it.
In theory I guess Google could have open sourced k8s and then walked away, refusing to contribute anything more. According to "community is everything" thinkers this would have led to even greater/faster adoption than k8s already has (if such a thing is possible). Of course it sounds ridiculous when you state it explicitly which I guess is why they never do.
Definitely true, though waking up from ketamine with your hands bound underwater in pitch black sounds absolutely hellish.
I've done some tris, but mainly prefer to just do the elements, usually 1-2 at a time. But I also surf, which takes time and money (at least enough to live near the coast) and that's not ergically expensive. But there is a "blue sky" effect. Some of the biggest, most important thoughts I've had are alone in the cold dawn waters waiting for a wave. Others have been while chatting with a trusted confidante on the bike or the trail (no one talks while swimming, that I know of...).
I also think there is a misunderstanding here. In this kind of bet, the track takes a cut. In other word, your 10-1 odds are calculated on what's left after the track took a cut.

I simulated this myself on the HK tracks: if you bet randomly _and_ don't ignore track take, your expected return on the long run is precisely $BET - $TRACK_TAKE, which was about 80% in HK. ie: you lose 20% of your money on average on each bet.
I weed out the products that have excessive fake reviews, above-average prices and some other interesting "tells" that I've discovered (e.g. the 4-star reviews are amended 1-star reviews that have been changed because the customer received a replacement product).
Well, the original commenter's reasoning is awful. But yeah, cue your outrage then.
The way I've been looking at it recently is that any defects in the mechanisms of democracy don't just result in more-random results and slightly less satisfied constituents, they're actually exploitable weaknesses that allow powerful people or institutions to exert more power than they would be otherwise entitled to.

We (speaking as a U.S. person) need to do away with the electoral college and first-past-the-post voting not because popular vote and a better election system are nice-to-have features, but because our current system paints a giant target on the political process we all rely on to ensure accountability. When the outcome of presidential elections depends on a few hundred or thousand voters in one or a few of Florida/Ohio/Michigan/Pennsylvania/Wisconsin, that's a systemic vulnerability.

There are active exploits in the wild; this is less a matter of instituting reforms to make things a little bit better and more a matter of adapting to new threats in order to reduce the risk of a systemic collapse.

Other exploitable vulnerabilities in our democratic process that have been weaponized to varying degrees include: Winner-take-all primary states (on the R side), superdelegates (on the D side), gerrymandering, Congressional procedural abuse (like the filibuster in the Senate, or refusing to vote on popular measures if it's opposed by a majority of the majority in the House), congressional gridlock, and sloppy campaign finance regulations.
Doesn't income tax apply to equity grants too? (Genuine question.)
This is much more substantive than a lot of other comments in that thread. How often does this "detaching" happen on HN?

He was unlucky in picking harness racing. Standard horse racing is already corrupt, but harness racing takes it to the next level. The rules and the addition of the harness make cheating much more prevalent.

I'd rather bet on Professional Wrastling than harness racing.
Breezing past your suggestion that workers should do some tax fraud, not reporting your tips also lowers your social security earnings which is going to lower your payouts as well.
Just get a number with an area code outside of your current location. I wound-up in this situation and it's a good junk filter. To their credit, T-Mobile also does decent spam filtering.
What I'm implying is the original commenter's reasoning is faulty.

But you can interpret it whatever you wish.
A lot of people don't understand the value of having a stream of income versus a wad of money in their hands now.

That's why J. G. Wentworth is in business, to profit from people who understand it.

But in business and most every discussion I can recall about business models, having a reliable stream of income is valued. People buy real estate and rent it out to establish such a stream of income.

And, if you are able to avoid earning all your cash now and instead earn o=it over time, you reduce and defer your taxes too.
There is a difference between unknown callers and calls from numbers not in your contact list.
There is no moral obligation to say the truth when it is inappropriate to ask the question in the first place.
Oh, easy. Collection agencies.

Collection agencies are a vital part of the capitalist financial apparatus. Banks rely on them to enforce loan term agreements, and in turn defend them when in negotiation with e.g. Apple, when e.g. negotiating agreements regarding e.g. Apple Pay. I suspect (but cannot prove) an elaborate leaning on mobile companies to keep nonconsensual cold calls possible.

Look for this state-of-affairs to change abruptly when being in arrears can directly affect the state of your device.

I expect, by 2025 at the latest, that mobile service and handset providers will begin kneecapping devices whose owners have displeased Equifax. When this occurs, it will no longer be necessary to allow nonconsensual calls, and there will be much touting of the new-and-improved DND.

Probably court summons and legal stuff works similarly, so my second prediction is that, around the same time, it will be possible to serve you notice of a subpoena by unblockable alert.
I want to do this, but only for calls. All other notifications should happen normally. It annoys me that iOS doesn't support that though, it's all or nothing.
I just wish I could figure out how to use the green arrays
For me, most of them have the same area code AND prefix as my cell phone (so obviously caller ID spoofed). I wish I could block those, without blocking the couple other phones in my calling plan that share the same prefix.
Companies must now report credit card transactions to the IRS. It's possible for them to see % of cash vs credit and the amount topped in credit. It would not be hard for them to audit you, the worker, if you report lower cash tips than the average than your boss reports in his business.
I'm adding my voice: Let's Encrypt and Certbot have made my life much easier. We manage somewhere around 100 websites where I work, and we were probably no more than 4 out 5 to monitor certificates, and renew them actively. It's a million times easier now.

Thanks a lot, and keep up your fantastic work!
> Cocoa is incredibly fragile about the main thread

That basically applies to all UI framework. At least I'm not aware about one which provides good support for accessing it from another thread.

There is obviously a reason for it, which is that UI frameworks are incredibly stateful, and trying to manipulate lots of state from multiple threads at once rarely works out well.
Carriers no longer get paid per call, so you'd think they'd be incentivized to lower the load on their network by reducing the number of spam calls.
If the police go by that, they are prone to being fooled by someone framing that artist: faking their identifiable elements (style or content), but perpetrating a lot more damage.
Helm is a good package management tool for application level configuration items. The possible configuration options that a cluster operator might want to configure is fixed. The application packager knows what they may be and can template them into environment variables or write them to configmaps. It doesn't matter how they are delivered, the values.yaml is a great place to collect this data, and Helm manages it nicely.

However, when it comes to cluster operators, or "runtime configuration", the application packager cannot possibly know all possible configuration changes that a cluster operator might want to make. Some are obvious, and Helm ecourages putting them into values.yaml. For example, most charts include a way to change resource limits or imagepullpolicy. But what if a cluster operator wants to change a config map to be deployed as a bitnami SealedSecret, because it's more secure and more compatible with the infrastructure? Or what if a cluster operator wants to deploy the Cloudflare Argo Tunnel Ingress controller which requires more: not only an annotation, but also additional fields. This cluster operator often ends up forking the Helm chart or deploying these parts out-of-band. Differentiating between runtime config and application config is why both Kustomize and Helm are both useful, together.

I like Helm as a package manager. But to keep everyone using the upstream Helm chart, wouldn't all Helm charts eventually have to look the same, and just be a templated version of the entire Kubernetes API with all CRDs included?

I like the sandbox projects and how the CNCF is managing them. I'm actively working on a different project (Open Policy Agent), and it's much younger than Helm or Kubectl. I agree with your concerns about the KEP process, and how it should be more well defined and followed at all times.
Presumably they write the algorithm-to-shading munging once, in the query engine, and then clients of the database don't have to worry about it at all. It looks like they didn't even write it, outsourcing it to Nvidia Thrust.
Yes, pycket now uses significant parts of the code developed as part of Racket-on-Chez, and it's helped us implement lots more of the full system.
I get that Musk is a controversial figure and that this event was a debacle, but I dont know how you can ignore SpaceX and Tesla, both arguably the most successful companies in their fields right now by some metrics.
Sure why not? I could always use another one for testing purposes. Although I have a feeling that based on the design, it won't work for me.
I'm not attacking them for taking it, I harbor no ill will toward either group #1 or #2 of my original comment. I'm asking if we are ok with this being necessary in the first place. I'm not ok with it.
I think you can, you have to ask "I want to tip x euros" before the waiter puts your cc in the machine. It feels really awkward and so most don't do it

Probably not to have Facebook piss all over their privacy.

I suspect there's been enough revelations about FB practices that many users would support Apple if they blocked the main apps. For a temporary block anyway.
I remember a very similar story, it stuck with me from a couple of years ago:

> His next thought was utterly predictable: "I remember thinking, I'm gonna be rich! I'm gonna plunder the lottery!" he says. However, these grandiose dreams soon gave way to more practical concerns. "Once I worked out how much money I could make if this was my full-time job, I got a lot less excited," Srivastava says. "I'd have to travel from store to store and spend 45 seconds cracking each card. I estimated that I could expect to make about $600 a day. That's not bad. But to be honest, I make more as a consultant, and I find consulting to be a lot more interesting than scratch lottery tickets."[1]

> But you'd generate basically zero revenue.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, which you’re not providing.

If you keep all else constant then raising the tax rate will raise revenue. Your narrative about how all else will not be held constant isn’t compelling.

Whatever mechanisms you describe for tax avoidance are only marginally different at 35% than 70%, making your hypothesis of zero obvious fiction.
I'm not sure whether you're aware that "time for you to leave" is a reference to the old Kung Fu TV show[0].

I also don't know enough about systems programming to be sure whether RET or LEAVE is the right instruction there :P

What's the argument for how inequality skyrocketed as a result of the reduced tax rate, and how inequality caused a "near breakdown of political and social order?"
Dismissing corporate personhood as “a convenient lie” is pretty flip when the Supreme Court has ruled it is enshrined in the constitution.

But boy I’d love to dis-enshrine it.
Maybe some amount law breaking is necessary for social change. If everyone followed marijuana laws, there wouldn't be a push for state level legalization. If no cars are broken into because of a perfect facial recognition system, then there might not be a strong motive to fix the homeless situation in San Francisco.

I am sure this idea is not new, but I think it is important to keep it in the conversation as the number and capability of sensors dramatically increases over the next decade.
It's a (polarizing) design choice that I'm sticking with (for now). Some folks tell me it's a dealbreaker, but others say they love it. My inspiration was: https://text.npr.org
Yeah. Worth noting too that libdispatch has been open source since it was released 10 years ago. I compiled and used it on Linux before Swift was out.
socialized losses encourage risk taking as there’s no real cost to the people running companies (see the bank crisis), and a holy expect pg&e to survive bankruptcy without actually paying for the damage or returning any of the stolen tax dollars.
