Quite a few states require wait staff/others to be paid the full minimum wage before tips: https://www.dol.gov/whd/state/tipped.htm
I hate to be the guy but this isn't really making email better, is it? This is just making Gmail better. And if this becomes a wide-spread tool Gmail will become necessary and that would be everything but beneficial for email.

The usual explanation for tipping is that the minimum wage for tipped employees is lower than the non-tipped minimum wage (sometimes as low as $2.13).

If you knew everyone was getting paid the minimum wage, would you still tip on a regular basis?

I recently learned that in states like Washington, California, Oregon this is the case [1], and have been tipping less as a result, but still feel slightly bad about it (societal conditioning is strong!).

You are correct. Authenticator is now available, I used to check every month and I didn't before writing this comment and resulting in stale information.
But isn't this how almost all tipping already works?

I worked at restaurants where I had to report my tips or share them. If I dipped below minimum wage for the month, the restaurant was supposed to add whatever difference was needed (never saw it happen, btw).

So if DoorDash lowers the base pay, I don't see why anyone should die on DoorDash's hill when the base pay of all restaurants around them is a hilarious $2.15/hour. DoorDash pays a minimum of $1 per delivery no matter the tip.

Before people get too angry at DoorDash, they should realize this is ubiquitous.

We're never going to evolve away from tipping culture if our only trick is to get outraged at one company at a time that makes the mistake of having the spotlight fall on them.
This video is from Project Veritas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Veritas).

As a friendly reminder, Project Veritas has been repeatedly caught out selectively editing and manipulating their footage, and setting up their subjects in "sting" operations where their words can be misrepresented and taken out of context, in order to score right-wing ideological points. (See https://www.npr.org/2011/03/14/134525412/Segments-Of-NPR-Got..., https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/05/30/james-okeefe-a..., https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/james-okeefe-helps-was... for just a few examples.)

Given their history, I would not trust anything in a Project Veritas video to be an accurate representation of its subject's actual opinions or intent.

The problem is the United States is that the 4th Amendment provides gives US persons the right "to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures".

The legal reality today is that while legally we broadly interpret things like "companies are people", we very narrowly look at "papers, and effects" as literal, physical objects. Equating backdoors with wiretapping is only similar on the surface. A traditional wiretap allows the police to hear a series of conversations. A backdoor in an iPhone or your Dropbox/OneDrive/iCloud account potentially allows the police access to the entirety of your "papers, and effects".

I would be willing soften my opinion on the issue, but only if there was a meaningful change in how the law protects digital documents.
Facebook to Pay $100M for Misleading Investors
The only stat they cite is that some employers are raising prices. There are no other stats cited - only anecdotes.

In the ideal pro-minimum-wage world, prices go up slightly but the impact on those who get the minimum wage bump is bigger than the impact on those people from price changes OR the impact on other people for those price changes.

That's the tradeoff pro-min-wage people would expect and want so if that's happening, no news there.

The tradeoff they would not want would be massive hours cuts, businesses going out of business (although some would want that - not me!), or this turning into an excuse for the businesses to cut costs and/or automate. We would need data of some kind to understand if that's happening.
The whole point of a spreadsheet is that it's a programming environment outside the control of IT processes and governance. If you don't want people to have that, don't ship Excel to their machines. (But good luck to any CIO who tries that).
Elephants that live in savannas in Africa are prone to atherosclerosis, while those living in forest areas are not. [1] discusses that it can be due to food. In savanna elephants are forced to feed on grains and dry grass, while in forest they feed on leaves, which is probably more natural.

> Even if we assume a steady state population, if the economy doesn't grow every year, we're playing a zero or negative sum game literally by definition.

It's really two independent games that just happen to have the same prize for winning. The people stealing the pie are the bums regardless of whether any other people are growing it.

And zero sum games aren't always the end of the world. If everybody is fine in year zero and then nothing changes, everybody is still fine. Not as good as things getting better, but stable. The problem is if things are getting worse -- increasing levels of consolidation over time. But you can have that even in the presence of growth. It's an independent problem.

> If we assumed a steady state for the population and economy, I don't see how people working for average salaries can set enough aside for retirement (without pushing themselves to a pretty low standard of living) without the benefit of ~4-7% compounding.

Interest rates and ROI are related to GDP growth, but they're not the same thing. Time value of money is a thing even in the absence of economic growth.

Suppose every year Farmer Joe has to borrow money to buy seeds and pay workers to plant, grow and harvest the crops. Then after harvest he sells the crops and uses the money to pay back the loan. Every year it's the same, every year he starts and ends the year with the same amount of money, there is no economic growth, but the lender is still earning interest on the loan every year.

Meanwhile the lender is your 401K, so it makes money over time which you then spend down in your retirement and die with the same amount of money in real terms as your parents did, and so on indefinitely.

And the interest rate has to do with supply and demand for currency, for which economic growth is a factor (affecting demand), but not the only one. The other obvious big one is that the Fed sets interest rates (supply) by fiat, as well as other things like bank reserve ratios.
This is, unfortunately, the answer. Whenever we post something, unless it is on Twitter, noone reads it.
I hate HTML email with a passion.

In more that 20 years I cannot remember when I last saw a well marked up HTML email that wasn't miss aligned due to missing closing tags or some other stupid mistake. They are always filled with utter useless and distracting crap and for some reason people tend to think that that is better than simply focusing on the flipping point of the message.

And no, I don't want people to embed screenshots in the message body, I much prefer attachments.

Claws-mail has a beautiful setting called: "Render HTML messages as text", and if that doesn't work because the HTML message is too messed up -> Delete to trash!

Edit: People can't figure out how to make relative well formed HTML for the browser, yet someone thought it was a good idea to introduce the mess to email. Go figure!
Yeah you get the majority easy enough. They’re mostly law abiding anyway, so you conjure up as much petty crap to pin on them to justify the police state.

Meanwhile the connected and savvy minority coddle pedophiles and grifters among their lot.

These are not really new concerns or ideas. The context has shifted from “meatspace” to “cyber space”. Generally the old ideas of trust and verify, avoid unenforceable, spurious, overreach still apply.

There’s an interesting parallel to the Pareto principle here, IMO. Society is pushing for more and more policing of the 80%ish and less on the 20%ish.

Wealth inequality, and civil rights inequality, filter into our tech contexts.

Too bad we largely focus on these things in our favored context rather than see it as the general political plight of the masses, as it really should be considered, IMO.

For those interested in potential viable ontologies other than reductive physicalism, I encourage you to read the works of Bernardo Kastrup. His most recent book, The Idea of the World, is well-argued and very interesting.
I thought management taking a cut of tips was known in the American restaurant/takeout industry to be illegal. And at least one other prominent dotcom has already been called on this.

Is this yet another instance of a dotcom knowingly and blatantly ignoring existing laws and regulations, and seeing how much they can get away with, while they use this advantage to steam full-ahead towards market dominance and IPO?

Is DoorDash yet influential enough that they can turn this into merely a regulatory handslap/caress?

Just a nit, I’m curious how they can guarantee full payout ($7/$7) without mentioning merchant processing fees? Does the company pay those or is it implied that $7 on full payout would actually be $6.80 after fees? I couldn’t see it being sustainable to absorb the extra fee, but if it is withheld, it seems misleading to not mention it.

(Technically, this question could apply to the tipping industry as a whole)
Because its fun.

I used to buy Call of Duty every year. I love playing FPS games, and getting the newest game meant new guns, new maps, and just new ways to enjoy an FPS. Sure, you could argue that it is just a reskin, but I really enjoy playing FPS games and I'm okay with paying the retail price.

It baffles me that you are gatekeeping the concept of fun.
To be sure, the car lobby has existed and worked steadily to make cities more car-centric since long, long before the self-driving car people came around...

We (in the US) have failed to make safer cities for about a hundred years already, so this sounds a bit like blaming people trying to build new fences for the existence of the wolves.
Let's say 50% (or even 30%). How much more code would have been needed to correctly render most of the rest? I strongly doubt it's 200 MiB, probably much closer to w3m's size. HTML email is in practice a large subst of HTML4+a tiny bit of CSS.

Are the black-bag squad going to disappear them because they didn't warn us to be good? Actually the charitable interpretation is probably that this is a sort of cargo-culted license without much informed decision-making behind it.

If a given nation requires back-doors or compromising encryption in any way....

It seems inevitable that it would help that given nation's "enemies" more than that given nation. Their "enemies" will get a hold of them, and they can make use of them however they want free of restrictions unlike the given nation.

I don't see anyway around that problem.
This is so strange. As a cyclist, I would be very worried about self-driving cars since cyclists - to the eyes of an AI algorithm, don't look the same.

You can have road bikes, mountain bikes with similar sitting positions, or recumbents, which will need a very different training profile, or tandems, etc

Bikes are severely underrepresented in the list of things that car automation companies care about at the moment, so any self-driving car on the road today might misidentify bikes.

Bikes also often ride in positions (from the perspective of the car) that can be unexpected. Some can be as close to the side of the car that it can cover the full field of view of a side-looking camera for example. How do self-driving algorithms work when encountering such cyclists?

I sure don't want to find out myself - I would hope car companies are doing tests on closed courses with cyclist mocks or inputs.
>For all intents and purposes, encryption is a unbreakable lock that can serve to perfectly hide valuable criminal evidence. Such a thing wasn't possible when our laws were written and has never before been possible in the physical world.

Public figures who sue for libel have to demonstrate that the person they claim libeled them did so with "actual malice" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_malice), which is quite hard to prove as to a certain degree it involves reading their minds. If they're smart enough to avoid sending an email where they cackle about how they're going to twist the truth in order to destroy you, you're going to have a hard time meeting that standard.
Yes this is insane. Facebook didn't even have a security issue. They just allowed my friends to export the fact that I listen to the Goo Goo Dolls (crazy how the media spinned this).

Of course, I get it, you don't seem to understand what an argument is! Silly me, You see when constructing a rebuttal to a point from your opposition the correct tactic is to retort with a dissenting position and back up your statement with counterpoints. You also seem to be under the impression that just because a statement is made that you favor, that means that statement is valid.

My point is when someone states that the earth is flat, you don't bother engaging in an argument on why they are wrong, there is mounds of evidence to the contrary if someone takes such a fallacious position. Your rebuttal to my point is: Nah-uh, he stated the world is flat therefore the world is flat.

Yes, I know that the parent states we shouldn't block people from going to venues and stating the world is flat or blocking them from going on TV and saying the world is flat, or going on social media and saying the world is flat, or even going to our institutions of education and saying the world is flat. What you fail to understand is while you are allowed to believe that the world is flat and state that the world is flat, that does not mean that you are entitled to the pulpit upon which you pronounce your bullshit from. There is nothing in the first amendment that entitles people to a venue to defend ignorance or hatred.

For example, replace the argument from my previous statement, "the world is flat," with the statement, "the KKK is right to suggest that races other than European whites are inferior." Are you entitled to your opinion even in the face of evidence to the contrary? Yes. Are you entitled to go to a college campus and spread your message of hate. No. You are not.

Again, you are free to your opinion and the speech you use to make those statements. You are not entitled to a pulpit to spread your message, if a venue does not agree with your opinion then it is their prerogative to decline your presence. It is not punishment, it is a statement of dissent to the opinion of the speaker. One that they are entitled to. That too is free speech.
What's interesting is that part of this report is that the monitoring of one's emotional state causes unhappiness. I can't say I fully agree with this statement- if someone has constant emotional patterns that are negative, it's important to recognize them and understand them and then behave around them. eg. Someone who is abused with explosive yelling as a child may feel unhappiness and fear at projected assumptions that someone is angry with them. Without understanding and monitoring one's responses, it becomes difficult to understand the difference between reasonable and unreasonable emotional responses.
I think the anecdote applies for some cities committing to Vision Zero plans - for example NYC has data showing fatalities decreasing (page 13: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/visionzero/downloads/pdf/vision-... ), though injuries might be the same or increasing ( https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/02/04/bloody-january-cyclis... )

But it isn't perfect - SF fwiw has had more pedestrian fatalities this year though they've had reductions in the prior couple years ( https://www.visionzerosf.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/06.2... )

Also average vehicle miles travelled in the US is up ( https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M12MTVUSM227NFWA/ ), and so are nationwide pedestrian fatalities:

The problem is that removal of tipping, pretty much just hurts the employees. Customers will probably pay less. Employers will be a bigger cut of the customers actual spending.

Very few restaurants would pay an hourly wage that is equivalent to what waiters are getting tipped now. So the waiter will just get less. Just look at what non-tipped restaurant workers get paid, not well.
