Between a guaranteed tip of a known amount vs a maybe possible tip, which would you choose?

That being said they're probably aware of the average expected value of a cash tip, and it maybe lower than whatever you guarantee via prepayment.

It's like asking if you want $10 or what's in the mystery box. You should never pick the mystery box as there is no incentive to actually put anything good in the mystery box.

From your edge-case comment, it sounds like you'd prefer that losses from business income not roll over, rather than making rollovers accessible to individuals. I was approaching it the other way - trying to see if there was a reasonable way to credit individuals with a "P&L" view of their finances that could cross multiple years.

As you indicated above, so much of our personal expenses are "discretionary" in the sense that we could increase or lower them by choice. That's exactly the difference between business investment spending (required to produce the revenue that's taxed) vs. personal income/spending, which is based strongly on preferences. Hard to justify taxing frugal individuals more than lavish spenders just because they save a larger percentage of their income...
A poor man’s Continuous Deployment pipeline
The story notes that the ship's crew was overworked and overstretched due to the expedited schedule and crew cutbacks. On the night of the accident, there was only one person qualified to be a lookout, and was expected to watch both sides of the ship. The allocations of time and resources such that the USS Fitzgerald could never find time to make repairs or have adequately trained staff, at a time of increased patrolling to deal with North Korea, are factors that involve people higher up in the chain.

Nice! I had been wondering if the move to HTTP-3 over UDP would open up possibilities for media over a multicast HTTP transport. Looks like somebody's already doing just that.

Only downside is that multicast sucks over wifi when many devices (like in a corporate env) are all trying to view a multicast stream. The time slice allotted to multicast is way too small to handle it. I really wish there was a spec created for wifi simplex connections where a channel could be reserved for broadcast with one signal to be consumed by many receiver devices.

> Full-blown lexical tone, at least in some cases, seems to develop as the result of reinterpreting tonal correlates of some other phenomenon

I would have said that the "I don't know" sequence matches this description -- it's just the tonal contour of the original phrase, with the other details stripped out. I don't see how that differs from Punjabi syllables preserving their (originally) allophonic tone while losing their (originally) phonemic aspiration, such that the tone becomes phonemic.

> I wonder if that's really the only item of that type in English.

Obviously I can't guarantee that, but I think it's pretty likely for several reasons:

- I can't think of anything similar.

- The yes/no question answers (including the "I don't know" sequence) are a clear conceptual group and differ from normal English in a few ways. The "no", "uh-uh", is also (I conjecture) unique, being the only English lexical item to contain a phonemic glottal stop. (Plenty of English words feature an obligatory glottal stop, but that stop is allophonic, as when the /t/ of "kitten" is transformed into a glottal stop by the /n/ that follows it.) It is of interest that the only phonemic glottal stop and the only phonemic tone should occur in these two closely related words. I strongly suspect that this group of answer words has these unusual features because of the constraint that you can pronounce them without opening your mouth.

- It's a single word that contains a lot more information than one English word should. For the Latin word "nescio" to mean "I don't know" is unsurprising; all Latin verbs are marked with subject agreement and in the case of a first person subject that is generally the only subject marking. English subject marking is almost always mandatory. This is just more evidence that the tone sequence is quite different from normal words.

- English has a non-vestigial system of grammatical tone at the sentence level; tonal marking is obligatory for yes/no questions. But sentence-level grammatical tone can't really coexist with lexical tone. So I'd be very surprised to see other instances of lexical tone outside very special cases. (For example, the phrase "I don't know" can't ever be a yes/no question, and so can't conflict with the English interrogative tone.)

> Like, giving the customer a $500 loan at 300% interest that they may never be able to pay back so they end up in an endless cycle of debt.

If that's the percentage being charged and that's the best a person can do, that means that person has a very high chance of defaulting on the loan.

Which would explain why nobody else wants to lend to that person. With your regulations, that financial institution would not exist. You can't regulate people into losing money. They'll just shut down.

You've now deprived the person of a legal financial option of borrowing money. You think they won't borrow anyway? They will. From a loan shark. They'll go into the black market.

They'll end up paying more for that loan since the shark now needs to cover the legal risk involved and if they don't pay it back, they may end up with broken legs.

How is that better?
Kids don't want to learn because they see no benefit in learning due to a cycle of poverty, a complete mess of a home life and parents that are probably uneducated as well. They have also been indoctrinated from an early age that "school isn't for them". It starts way younger than high school. Dropouts actually start dropping our during middle school or even earlier. If you think that kids tune out at 17 because they are bored, you are missing a lot to the debate here.

While I agree that alternative programs should be available, it's a bit silly to chalk up most educational problems to "kids don't want to learn".

Germany doesn't have the scale of inequality the US has and shouldn't be compared strongly to our situation. We have bigger fish to fry.
And lentils. You can cook lentils with water and salt and nothing else, and they come out edible and nice enough, if unexciting - but they serve as a fantastic canvas for adding small amounts of other long-lasting things (stock, oil, herbs, spices, cured meat) which add interest.

Which is why my no-deal Brexit survival stash is a couple of kilos of Puy lentils, a bottle of olive oil, and a box of stock cubes!
That's not why you have to do it, it's because the state can be updated asynchronously. It's only applicable when you try to update the state based on previous state or props values.
That's not really part of this problem though, as even if they were compensated for gas and insurance for the car, this still applies.

Fundamentally, people are outraged because essentially tipping is subsidizing the wages the employer should be paying, and that's the case even with a restaurant.

The issue is the tipping system. It's counterintuitive but your "generosity" with a tip, once it becomes standard cultural practice, ends up in one way or another getting nullified by the employer. And there's no real way to prevent this as the OP said, money is fungible, so if the employee gets paid more in some way it all just becomes their total earnings in the end, which saves the employer from having to make up that difference because the market price for the employee's time and labor is fixed.
That just means that uploaders will scrub their data through an intermediary, if they aren't already.
My intuition was already screaming 'it'll be the other way around for a geometric progression' before I read that far, but I'm damned if I can understand or even speculate why. Most likely I don't properly understand it.

I'm inclined to wonder if there's a third operator which could be tested like this, such as exponentiation, but that's not commutative over integers.

Of course, if there are similarly intriguing patterns for noncommutative operators (and their sequences) the obvious next step would be to look at complex numbers and quaternions...
It's not quite that - in places with a lower "tipped minimum wage," the employer only gets to pay the lower hourly rate if the employee doesn't earn the standard minimum wage from tips.

The employee is supposed to report their tips, usually per pay period, and if it adds up to less than minimum wage, the employer is supposed to make up the difference.

Doesn't work out like that in practice, though. My wife waited tables for years when she was young and most of those places just paid enough to show $0.00 on the paycheck after payroll/SS taxes and the like. It also works out to be essentially what Instacart and DD are doing, but with a federal/state mandated "floor" on how low they can pull the hourly from the tips.
Depends on if your area has a strong pub culture. Not the case everywhere.
When I worked at Uber we used this an it was internally called "uChat". I have two things to note about this:

1) When uChat was first rolled out the team who ran the rollout did everything they could to make it seem as though they had created uChat from scratch and that it was an internal tool, even though everyone knew it wasn't. The rollout was comically inefficient and the platform didn't scale at all to Uber's size. The uChat team then tried at an all-hands to talk about what a great job they had done building uChat which was followed by a slew of questions around all of uChat's massive failings such that the CEO started grilling them a bit. It was both embarrassing and strangely funny to watch what was either their total lack of self-awareness or their blatant misrepresentation of everything they had done.

2) When I left Uber in November of last year, uChat was still pretty dysfunctional. I use Slack today in my new role and it's a MASSIVE step up.
>It's of course possible to choose to mean something different by "kilogram." Nobody has trademarked the word. But the word nonetheless has a clear and well-accepted meaning, and someone who uses "kilogram" to mean "the weight of a liter of water from my tap right now" is using a nonstandard and potentially confusing definition. That's the point of their analogy.

This is a very bad example.

If I were to go to your grocery store and buy a kilogram of apples from you, but your "kilogram" was a weight invented by you, you would be breaking the law. More or less every country has legal definitions of weights and measures. They are not "common usage" but very strictly prescribed.

OSI is trying hard to prescribe the meaning of a term they have no rights to.

>mostly because the church was out competing them, but ... it's not like that still matters

I disagree that it does not still matter.

For the past few centuries or so (depending on what country you're looking at) the church had the monopoly on morals and the state had the monopoly on violence. It seems to have in the last 100yr (in the US at least) the government, and to a lesser extent corporations, have replaced the church as the source of morals for a great deal of the population in Europe and North America.

Public education is a great net good but we need to be careful with it because the line between education and indoctrination is a fine one. I think that the replacement of church provided education with public education poses a slow long term risk to secular societies.

You do not want the entity that has a monopoly on violence also controlling education and with it morality. That's how you get the crusades, the USSR, etc. I'm not sure what the solution is. I don't think increased religion is it.

FWIW I am not religious.

Even if I accept your reasoning here, it still doesn't change my main point.

What we have is a group of people (e.g., Lerna, etc.) trying to ride on the coattails of success of "open source" without being forthcoming about what they're doing.

We could be charitable and assume they're doing so out of ignorance, but I've seen way too many discussions on this issue where it's pointed out. I simply don't think they're ignorant. I've think they're being actively dishonest.

I am indeed allergic to mold! But I've never noticed any symptoms. The incident that caused me to get tested by an allergist was a slight itch in my throat after eating some mac and cheese I made. But there wasn't any aged cheese and aged cheese hasn't given my cause for concern before.

I later felt that same itch eating pre-cubed grocery store cheddar. They add cellulose to those packages, which I'm guessing could be too blame.

> More funding won't help if you're placed with kids that do not want to learn.

There is very little kids inherently want more than to learn—if they've learned not to want to learn, either in general or in the particular venue of the school system, that's a failing of the school system or society more generally that needs to stop happening, rather than writing off those who have been failed.

If you are thinking, like I was, bread + butter... yawn... bread + honey... been there, done that, mixing them isn't going to make a difference..... I really recommend trying it :-)

The definition is not well-accepted. For example, why does the AGPL get a free pass but the SSPL does not?

When it comes down to it, there are just a bunch of people who make arbitrary decisions about what is to be included.

But what they include should not matter to you. You should not be making your decision to use software based on whether or not the OSI approved it - unless you don't have the means or expertise to decipher the specific requirements of a language and are more than happy to take the word of this organization for it.

Ultimately, the OSI is a protectionist organization which is attempting to prevent a competing organization from using the term "open source" because they don't quite agree on some subtle details that an innovative licensor has chosen to attempt to gain approval of. Whether they gain approval is for the market to decide - not the OSI.

There have been ovo-lacto-vegetarian societies throughout history (e.g. some religious orders in both Christianity and India, the “Pythagorean diet”).

You can absolutely be healthy, and not require any supplements, on a vegetarian diet. I don't eat anything exotic and have no health issues at all as a vegetarian.

Veganism is a different story, as you well know. I think that it's unfair and wrong to call veganism an eating disorder though. If you're a vegan for moral/philosophical reasons, and ensure that you keep your vitamin and mineral levels healthy, whether by supplements or dietary choices, how is that an eating disorder? That's like saying that conscientious objectors to the draft had a mental disorder.

I'm not inherently opposed to referring people I don't know, as long as we have some sort of connection. The referral bonus at my company is pretty nice, after all.

In my experience, only a small minority of the cold outreach people actually respond to my request, and the responses I do get are usually low quality and don't merit a referral.
Here's data on Clojure searches: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=c...

Based on some of the comments in the thread I see there is some veracity to the claim that interest in Clojure is leveling off or declining. However, it has been my experience that the community embraced Clojure around 2013-14 to the point of "irrational exuberance". The reality that the ecosystem is full of under-engaged projects and dead ends really set in for me after I went to Clojure / West in 2014 and saw several demos break on stage.

I want to use Clojure at work, but I'm just not productive in it yet as other languages and I haven't found the time to build momentum with it. That said, I still want to get there.
