"Tipping Policies"

"deceptive tipping policies"

Huh...

Somehow I think if I set up a tipping jar for the government and kept the majority of the funds, it would be quickly called 'stealing'. Actually, I think in California since the amount is over $10k, it's grand theft.

Welcome to the era of legislative capture, when the criminal activities of a corporation are discovered, "journalists" frame the situation as "big company make mistake, people get upset, people should figure it out and want transparency" and then seem to want to compare this to our outrage culture.

lol

What transparency could you trust from someone who stole from you?

Outrage seems to carry a connotation of being a bit of an overreaction. And a strong reaction.

People aren't hurling insults because of this.

They are angry. And rightfully so. They were stolen from. The article makes no sense unless you believe it was a 'mistake of deceptive practices'.

There's not even a single mention of restitution or ANYTHING that wouldn't have been approved by a corporate PR team in an effort to appear 'unbiased'.

If crack dealers had this type of coverage, we'd be hearing about 'Possible loud sounds that could be confused with guns that happen when certain issues arise. Maybe we should ask for transparency to see what is going on?'
After 12 years since v3 came out and the annual python survey showing 84% v3, i think it's really disrespectful from anyone to advice v2.

But retard is not a convincing argument, even if i'm tempted to use it too.
It's hard to pin it down as influential but when a new episode comes out, it feels like you're about to hang out with friends that you haven't seen for a few weeks.
This also ties in very cleanly with graphQL:

import gql from 'graphql-tag';
import { useQuery } from 'react-apollo-hooks';

const GET_DOGS = gql`
{
dogs {
id
breed
}
}`;

const Dogs = () => {
const { data, error } = useQuery(GET_DOGS);
if (error) return `Error! ${error.message}`;

return (
<ul>
{data.dogs.map(dog => (
<li key={dog.id}>{dog.breed}</li>
))}
</ul>
);
};

Same here. I've also received legal and tax documents, invitations to bachelor parties, draft scripts for motion pictures, medical records and offers to buy my multi-million dollar house in Florida (hint, I don't have one, but somebody with the same name does).
Goes in the WEEE recycling here and is recycled so the impact isn’t as high as it may be elsewhere.

I do agree with you fundamentally however.
That would be weird, but "he's not a great investor" is taken out of context from "he's not a great investor in the way people think". The way it would be said is "he's not a great investor in the way people think [stock picking], he's a great investor because he found this other strategy that works well."

What about he's "not a great investor in the way people think" leads you to believe "he's not a great investor"?
I'll take my warnings about insidious cultural programming with a grain of salt when they come from Catholics. Thanks.
There's a wide variety of products on the market - not all led bulbs are the same. Google for example: led CRI

G9 is probably quite challenging for high-performance LEDs because the size is so small. In the other sockets like E27 and GU10 there are lot of options available and also products designed for commercial use (where you need certain characteristics because you want to make your products look good under the light).
Python 2 will be EOL'd on the 1st of January 2020. So you should definitely go with python 3.
> That "learn python the hard way" guy says don't use python 3

They are wrong. There is no good reason to start with Python 2 for new projects. The reasons people stay on 2.x are institutional inertia and legacy code. A hello world program has none of these problems.
You have to take into account the voltage that the capacitor runs at. 4u7 200V X7R MLCC is going to be huge and certainly several orders of magnitude more expensive than Al electrolytic.
Speeding happens anyway even though it is illegal, but at least there are legal consequences for speeding to deter people.
Blockchain's trust model is broken anyhow because it seems whoever is managing the tokens used by the system keeps losing them. The way the tokens are handled at the edge where layer 8 is involved to some degree is the weakest link and it has proven itself not to be trustworthy.
there are lots of places to dump "blackwater waste" but not letting it build up is an important habit. commercial campgrounds may let you dump for a small dump fee, but it can be more efficient to book a day in to clean up purge and tidy things. There is a technique called "cat holeing" find an out of the way place deposit the dumpling in a shallow hole 6-8 inches from the surface, include the topsoil and organic debris, and soil microbes decompose it quickly. Do this at least 200 feet from water for sanitary reasons and all is good for practical sense. There are ordinances of aesthetics regarding dumping, i very often include a few apple seeds in the hole, in the high probability there will be a well established tree for all to partake in, human and beast alike.
It is more than 10ks. It is also understanding what people are doing and going to do. Coke isn't a great/bad investment because of the 10k numbers - it is great/bad because of people who will continue to buy Coke over the long term. If people change their coke buying habits that won't show up in the 10k until it is too late, but by watching other sources you can figure out people are not buying coke.
Similar to liar's paradox, may be "this page was intentionally left blank" paradox. Since the page contains this writing, it is not blank. So whoever wrote on that page "this page was intentionally left blank" was lying.

So, Aristotle holds, because the page is not "blank" and "not blank" at the same time.
Most tech workers are in a position for building and not leading, so their most powerful option is to sabotage.

This is similar to asking why a McDonald's worker doesn't think more about American health. A single fast food employee may contribute more to the end product than most engineers.

A tech strike is also far less effective. Only people in the region can effectively make your burger. People in Australia can coordinate with people in China to build your software.
Yes those are trivial things that are simply an afterthought. The app ain't shit, it's how well the business can execute.
I cannot speak knowledgeably to this for A19 type products, but generally there is no need to have such low temperatures to achieve good lifetimes. There may be temperature requirements this low for bulbs mounted in certain locations, but that is not a part of UL 1598 that I have in my brain.
Actually, if you look at encrypted blockchains (Zcash, Monero, Dash, Quisquis, Grin, etc.) there are real and similar dangers here. It is very hard to monitor money, and see when fraud happens. Some kind of fraud, not up for ethical debate, is the creation of money out of thin air. Zcash actually just caught one such bug[1] and there has been others in the past.

I am not an active investor. I do not claim to know as much as someone like WB. However, what you have just explained is all pretty obvious.

To buy Apple's explanation that most of their disappointing quarterly earnings were as a result of Chinese macroeconomic conditions is frankly being generous to them. Just focusing on the iPhone, it is a muddled offering where successive iterations don't stand out from the next as they did in previous generations. Now, this isn't just an Apple problem. Innovations in smartphone technology have slowed down across all handset makers. However, until Apple shows that they can successfully increase their service offering to get more money out of their users and are able to charge more for handsets then opportunities for growth seem pretty limited in that space. Moreover, when I see that apple is increasing credit on trade ins for newer iPhones a few months back. . .I take that as a sign that consumers see little value in upgrading. Not saying Apple is doomed but they don't show signs (to me) that they are on the path for growth.

My comments on the price of iphones was from misremembering WB comments about them 6 months ago. He said that the iPhone was underpriced but that Apple could not increase prices due to competition. I thought he made a statement saying he believed that prices should be increased on the iPhone range. I never claimed that their stagnant sales are from product prices, rather that worldwide sales demonstrate that the price should definitely not be higher than it is currently (unless they improve the product dramatically).
At risk of bottoming out on the threaded replies, I'd be interested in talking through how that would work...

Let's say you wanted to give income from labor the same benefits as (negative) income from investments that lost money... How would you do that?

Say I earn a healthy $250K/year at my W-2 job. If I buy a large house with the proceeds from my job, have I incurred a loss? How about if I eat out at an expensive restaurant every night, spending my entire paycheck. Do I get to avoid taxes by keeping my lifestyle expensive?
Seems to me that disgust for the practice grows exponentially with reposter's audience size. If I see something worth resharing with friends, I'd never consider Instagram as an outlet to do so. Instead, I opt for a personal sharing channel like a DM or iMessage thread.
Wikipedia says it's written in Javascript. If true, that's kind of horrifying.

I don't think business networking is about meaningful connections, not in the sense of connecting on a personal level. Having said that, I never excelled at business networking myself for not being able to connect at a deeper level
I think it's absurd when the very small fraction of truck owners lift them, trick them out, "roll coal", etc.

I think the vast majority of truck owners are reasonable.

Who doesn't own or pay for something "just in case"? We have insurance just in case we need it. People pay a little more for a truck instead of a sedan just in case they need it.

I didn't mean for this chain of comments to be about trucks, it was just the name of one item where Bluetooth doesn't work that well for me.
As I see it, the number one hurdle in software productivity is human understanding. The more understandable software is and the easier it is to make software understandable, the faster and more accurately it can be modified.

This is why functional models like React, DSL models like SQL, and constraint models are so widely used — they make what's happening in the software more understandable (at a worthwhile performance cost).

Don't go there sun.

yes, sorry in advance,
but I accept your internet demerits for this bit of foolishness, at least it made me chuckle
Compare:

Did HE contract the disease?

Did he CONTRACT the disease?

In each of these sentences, if you pronounce “contract” as it were a noun describing a legal agreement, you are going to sound somewhat off. Same with the other words listed.

Well, that is, unless you and your listeners don’t know how to pronounce “contract” differently in each usage. But again this is only one of the examples.
I didn't know Visma was Norwegian. It is probably among the top 3 companies in Sweden used for bookkeeping/accounting software, especially small to medium sized companies.
I see where you're coming from. We don't have open office, but I still deal with noise pollution; however I don't see the big issue with using headphones. There's health concerns (which can be mitigated), but I don't see any other big problems. And come on, there can always be too much drama. Anyway, I apologise for my tone, I just think it's worth considering.
As a marketer, I fully blame a marketer for this. Woof.
Why Objective-Smalltalk Is (not) a Smalltalk
This whole article is a bit baffling to me. I'm having trouble understanding what the message is. That advertisers are using technology in their ads? Why wouldn't they? That they are trying to "normalize" the influence that code and technology has on our lives? It's already normalized. There isn't a dark conspiracy where advertisers subliminally incorporate language to drown out the luddites. There are big tech companies that want to advertise their brand and their tech. And there are non-tech companies that want to advertise using the language and norms we're already familiar with.

Python 2 support is sunsetting in 2020 after over a decade of python 2 and python 3 support. I'd recommend starting with Python 3. Many external libraries you may need will only be issued for python 3 and many external libraries will choose to not even issue bug fixes for python 2.
If we're nitpicking, it would be why Google allows dot aliases for regular accounts, but not for G Suite, while allowing plus-sign aliases for both.
Unfortunately the one local grocery store that does have the service runs it through Instacart anyway.
I'm sure there's a less salty way to say this, but if you're going to do this deep analysis of the Superbowl ads, than I expect you to use more than two ads by the same fucking company
those $10 CFLs burned out almost as quickly as I could replace them. Kinda spoiled me on the whole "spend more for something that will last longer" theory.
Indeed, the proof-of-work of bitcoin is way easier to understand than the byzantine agreements used by other cryptocurrencies.
You can only harvest $3000 in losses per year if you have more capital losses than capital gains.

That is laughably small.

And you can't deduct the losses from your other income while you can as a business.
I'm not sure if this is true in your wife's school, but in my high school junior and senior year was when people loaded up on AP courses that would supposedly get them out of introductory math/science/writing in college.

> Please explain the process by which the means of production passes from private ownership to public ownership WITHOUT coercion via threat of force/violence or actual usage of force.

Well, if it's coercive, it's no more coercive than capitalism, which likewise relies on state use and threat of force to defend it's model of property rights.

Probably because people did voice those concerns and it wasn't politically the right thing to do in the org at the time, they were labelled "not a team player" and shown the door.
So, is there consensus that QM does not violate the belong/not belong principle of Aristotle? Reading the comments, I wasn't sure.
Thats true, but there's no good way to just 'fix' it all.

However, don't make the test expensive. Basically, make it economically equal to as great a degree as possible. Some will still be disadvantaged of course, but I think at some point that's reality, the fact is everyone is not equal. If everyone is treated equal though, then at least those with value can rise themselves to the top regardless of other circumstance.
>elected officials need to form an elite of superior intelligence and ability to comprehend the world

This is much less of a problem if you can hold down scope-creep on the role and responsibilities of government.
Super interesting! Is this still the standard for this sort of communication nowadays or are there successors?
They're basically at the same level if you don't use high end CPUs and gaming GPUs. Also see here: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/135719-5-9-watts-the-worl... - tldr: 30w idle for an unmodified average system.
Mind you this was 2012, mid range systems surely haven't gotten more power hungry since then.
I'd hope for HN to be a place where we can actually ignore the noise and discuss about the interesting research being done around blockchains.
It is a good question, and I am glad you asked as many new python developers hear this advice from Zed.

I think in 2019 there is no question that you should be using python 3. Zed seems to be personally offended by both how the transition was handled and some of the design choices in python 3, but I think he is doing his readers a disservice if he is still recommending python 2 today.
maybe... looks like some sort of passive failure to me though. I haven't noticed any bullet holes.
Good story. A lot of people in your position never meet the mentor that will turn their life around and their potential gets wasted.

I used to box in a gym where a lot of poor kids went and it was amazing how little they knew about the wider world. All they knew was crime, prison, poverty, anger, disappointment and violence. Although a lot of them were clearly very intelligent I doubt they will ever escape that cycle.
It has for 2 years now. 3.6 was the tipping point, such a fantastic release.

I'm a consultant with a pretty good book of clients now. I could never have gotten started without a network of people I met at business/networking events outside of work.

I've also never gotten a client through a personal or non-work connection. I don't think my social or family network is ritzy enough for that to work.
And to add to that many of their telephony products are best in class. I sometimes regret that my biz-2400 has a wire on it, but it has the best noise cancellation of any headset I have ever used and is a pleasure to use all day. Not a shill, but I use their headsets for hours a day and my experiences with their wired products are overwhelmingly positive. I think this is a shoddy BT implementation.
It has precedence:

I don't know if "apathy" is the right term. It's more a lack of a moral compass (not uncommon in most profit-seeking business) and a tendency to see people as numbers and data points.
I don't think it will die, newer blockchain protocols like MimbleWimble are highly interesting and pure math and cryptography. The ICO shillers are disappointing, I was younger in the dot-com era so I do not remember much, but I assume there was a similar vibe around that time with everyone getting rich with any website idea.

For example, the recent BitTorrent ICO disappointed me, although it pumped 10x from ICO price in the past week which will keep the speculators interested, thanks to Binance supporting it.
Well... There probably was, at some point, some person giving an impression of a judge worthy of a b-movie extra who signed something titled "Death Sentence" and continuing with "Lorem ipsum...".

In other words: It doesn't much matter if these people were convicted or not when the judicial system making those decisions is deeply flawed.

And, of course, there are the additional problems of the death penalty itself being rather anachronistic, and even people on death row remaining humans and retaining fundamental right to dignity, which would stand in the way of using them as spare part repositories against their own will.

So there's like eight layers of injustice until you can get a liver from a Chinese.

"A light bulb at a fire station in Livermore, California, has been on almost continuously since 1901. In 2015 it was recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s longest-burning bulb.... Giles Slade, in his book “Made to Break,” traces the term “planned obsolescence” to a 1932 pamphlet, circulated in New York, titled 'Ending the Depression through Planned Obsolescence'.... the lamps market will bring in an estimated thirty-eight billion dollars this year, L.E.D.-bulb makers are already reacting to the spectre of declining sales."
I am in my mid thirties and would say I definitely do not think I am as sharp now as I was as a teenager.

That said, I am overall much happier now.

For me, mental agility has proven less important to me than a number of things. Example: I have been hit by motorists a few times (I am a cyclist.) and my left knee has really taken a beating as a result. Keeping it in good shape so that I can continue to run and bike is much more important to me than, for example, being able to quickly memorize or learn something. As I see it, mere speed at assimilating information is a luxury whereas physical mobility is a necessity for having a life worth living.

Conversely, certain things have gotten better with age: my financial wellbeing and emotional maturity both come to mind.

Although I try not to worry about the inevitable and live in the now, I am personally more concerned about the point in my life where my body will entirely preclude certain activities.
Totally agree. It should not be about which party your staff comes from.
I've struggled with jogl as well. Clojure being hosted is a definitely a double-edged sword; while it makes it possible to use something like jogl, actually doing so can require you know something (or a lot of things) about the underlying platform.

The questions you raise here are real issues. I've been able to scaffold things for newcomers to the language in the past, but I can easily imagine how they could go off the rails without some guidance. I believe that the new "deps.edn" mechanism is meant to be the official, paved path for dependency and platform interaction in the future. But until everybody is using it, there will be two ways of doing things and the confusions that goes with having a choice. Perhaps it's necessary to move the platform forward.

Good point. It also forces them to be accountable, and facilitates regulation from third parties. Something that should be welcomed when you look at how opaque banks are trying to be sometimes.
Well, if people are really concerned about this they could always trying hiring American developers with 0-3 years experience, and giving a chance to developers without STEM degrees, or degrees at all. This article still reinforces the idea that elite degrees are the only way to judge "talent".

You have a lot of really great points here.

I think you are right. I will have to move on once I want a raise or promotion, but it's nice for now. I'm basically taking it as a chance to clock in, do a great job at work, clock out, and study for my next career move.

I feel like a contractor would be expected to work much harder / have a higher accountability than a salaried worker, no?
