Don't know where this guy goes out, but apparently too rich for my blood.

I dislike tipping because it's part of the "guilt" economy.

Just tell me what you think is a fair price and I'll decide whether or not I want to buy it. Don't undercut the price by 25% and then be offended when I don't pay the right amount.
What would be the point?

And doesn't everyone vote by mail?

This reminds me of a passage in "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter discussing the Golden Record[1].

"""
[C]onsider a
meteorite which, instead of deciphering the outer-space Bach record, punctures it with
colossal indifference, and continues in its merry orbit. It has interacted with the record in
a way which we feel disregards the record's meaning. Therefore, we might well feel
tempted to call the meteorite "stupid". But perhaps we would thereby do the meteorite a
disservice. Perhaps it has a "higher intelligence" which we in our Earth chauvinism
cannot perceive, and its interaction with the record was a manifestation of that higher
intelligence. Perhaps, then, the record has a "higher meaning"-totally different from that
which we attribute to it; perhaps its meaning depends on the type of intelligence
perceiving it. Perhaps.

The article is about "a big California farmers’ lobbying group" signing away rights on behalf of its members to John Deere. No government is blocking the right to repair, some companies are. Others aren't, but purchasers don't prioritize their products.

There is no law in the United States that blocks or restricts rights to repair.

My situation is that I'm getting back into contracting after being at an office job for 4 years. I'm updating my Upwork profile, getting my resume and portfolio together, all the things. But when I look at my recommended jobs, I get this sinking feeling like I'm working in a vacuum.

I'd prefer something that works line an online shared workspace, where I'd go in, say "hey I'm a backend PHP/Laravel and iOS/Android developer, does someone need help for a few hours or days for around 50 bucks an hour?" and someone would ping me with an offer and we'd get right to work solving their problem.

I also very much needed this when I couldn't find an answer on Stack Overflow. I've looked at https://www.codementor.io but can't tell if that's what they're going for or how much friction is involved.
These nonsense comments smack of a personal agenda that is more concerned with hating him because he has money than anything to do with this article, which is the point of discussion here. Gates' Reddit AMA response and how much money he has is irrelevant in the context of an article about Nadella's leadership of a Microsoft nearly two decades after his departure.
Is cheap labor a legitimate source of comparative advantage?

That really is the big question.

It worked out OK for the pre-China era of "Asian tigers". Japan, Korea, and Taiwan had a labor cost advantage and exported heavily to the US. Their standard of living went up, wages went up, and they lost the labor cost advantage.

Then the next round - Bangladesh (world leader in T-shirt production), Vietnam, Thailand. Labor costs are still low, but the countries are not big enough to seriously hurt the US.

But they were not as big as China. China is 3x the size of the US in population, close in GDP, and has industrialized very fast. The US can't absorb that shock. Eventually, China may lose the labor cost advantage; it's already declined quite a bit as wages go up. But for now, the US is taking a big hit on this.
This is something that the identity provider struggles with. Supporting additional authentication factors can help, although the newer active phishing attacks are causing issues. Certificates, kerberos and webauthn are inherently phishing resistant which mostly solves the problem if you can rely on or leverage them.

You can also do a form of device enrollment/tracking via a cookie. Since a phisher will not have that cookie, the user authentication experience can switch to be more robust. This also typically triggers a notification to the user that a new device or browser was seen.

You also have threat detection technologies outside of cookies, such as looking at IP address geolocation and doing time of flight analysis.

Thats all stuff the identity provider can do. From a user perspective today - check the address bar, and/or use a password manager.

Funny that the article tries to portray Al Gore as the guy that could have stopped free trade if he won the election in 2000, when he was the figurehead of free trade, and really helped lock in the free trade policy when he beat up Ross Perot in the NAFTA debate.
I suspect it means humans.

So here's one way to think about the accelerations. To a first approximation, you need the same total change in velocity to go from standing on the surface of an object to be in orbit at a given altitude. You can choose to spread that change in velocity over any given time and distance interval (those two terms are linked). So if your mass driver accelerates your payload to final velocity in 1/10th the time (and more or less distance), you will get 10x the acceleration.

So the forces you would be subject to will be more or less directly related to how large of a mass driver (in terms of track length) it is relative to the mass of the object you are leaving.
Serious questions: What if someone made intentional patterns in their click trail? Just for the sake of the trail itself? For instance this person believed data was beautiful and/or wanted to make a statement with the shape and/or content of the data produced.

How nice. First subvert democracy through lobbying so they can offshore production, so the only 'choice' consumers have is go along with it, or live in the stone age. Then when consumers don't all retreat to caves and huts in the woods, claim this means they agree with and 'voted' for this course.

Buying is not voting, and deceiving people into believing this has been one of capitalism's greatest successes.

The problem with that is that the people benefiting from the tips don't have a say in it. Of course the owner of a restaurant will undercut his product significantly because he's legally allowed not to pay for labor fairly, what can the worker do?
I hate tipping and I tip. However, I disagree with the idea that we should be scaling up our tips.

Single persons who refuse to tip because it is a terrible system are often just being asses and cheap, when they aren't I don't disagree with them but I think it's more productive to direct energy toward reforming labour laws to get rid of server/etc minimum wage exemptions.

But! I strongly object to this article advising a 30-50% tip, it has the potential to cause people to scale their tips up which will further deepen the hole that we're in if it becomes adopted by a significant population.
What's weird is that Apple products used to be for lay users (and still pretty much market themselves that way), but their UX design is now much more power-user-friendly. Personally I'm mostly fine with it, it's just a weird source of dissonance.
It's worth to note that the web has grown a lot recently. The number of web pages is more than 100 times larger than 10 years ago thus the size of information to get the exact page that you want should increase as well. Although Google did some works on this area, but it's possible (and very likely) that the speed of web growth simply outpaced Google's algorithmic improvements. I don't know if a single universal search engine can be the answer without very deep personalization plus pervasive tracking; maybe domain specific search engines can do a better job?
Addressing the last: Ello's descent into UI/UX hell was among the reasons I abandoned it.

The Drive PDF Viewer (default PDF viewer on Android) scroll behaviour isn't perfect, but it's a reasonable compromise with minimal surprises (principle of least astonishment) for the platform.

I quite honestly prefer paginated PDFs in general for online reading, as they follow numerous predictable behaviours, with PocketBook and FBReader my preferred apps for this.

The Internet Archive's online BookReader app is also excellent, in its paginated mode. When set to portrait aspect ratios, it converts to a scrolling mode which I really dislike.

I agree that scrollbars should be preserved. However, mobile screens are small and the classic scrollbars we were used to a decade ago take up precious space.

Actually, mobile scrollbars cause problems for me pretty often. My fat fingers sometimes trigger the scrollbar instead when I mean to tap an element on the right side of the screen. It's very infuriating when you suddenly jump to some random spot in a large list and have to scroll to find where you were and try again.

I would love to see I think the solution is to come up with a design that indicates an element is scrollable. Maybe by darkening it at the bottom? A scrollbar could be toggled when the user scrolls far enough, then hidden again when the user stops scrolling for a while. Idk, I'm not a designer.
Rockets are actually relatively gentle in comparison, generally <3G for humans. This is because you can apply constant thrust the entire way to orbit (>~400 km on Earth)

With a Mass Driver, you can only apply acceleration for however long your driver is, so you have to get up to speed in a much shorter distance. If you build a 4km driver (length of Heathrow Runway), you have to get up to speed in 1/100th the distance causing drastically higher accelerations.

(note, some poor assumptions here because horizontal distance =/= vertical distance, but the general idea is correct).
30%?

I can’t read the article because it is behind a paywall so maybe that is ironic.

30% is beyond excessive in most situations.

In NYC, which I think is one of the biggest loci of tip inflation, we used to do 15% pre-tax on a restaurant bill.

We used to do $1 every one or two drinks at the bar, but inflation has an upward pressure there, and the slow demise of buybacks has a downward pressure.

20% AFTER tax is what I usually leave on smaller checks, rounded down, and that is considered pretty generous by any person I’ve ever come across.

Big debates might occur about that $400 bottle of wine (“I’m not tipping $80 for someone to open a bottle.” — “ok buddy, if you can’t afford the tip don’t order it.” Blah blah blah) but these are edge cases. And overall arguing about tips is annoying and a huge waste of time, energy, and good will.

But 30%?

Give me a break.

We even have new minimum wage laws in New York that protect food delivery workers, the whole thing is Byzantine, but I’m pretty confident everyone is getting paid.

Edit: ok I bypassed the paywall and sure, tipping a higher percentage makes sense when your bill is tiny. I think basically everyone knows that.

But the rest of the article is absolute nonsense in every way, including random counter factual statements such as “people from the Midwest tip more” which no one I know actually thinks is true, and I don’t think it so strongly, it would take a lot more than one random study to make me reconsider.
Wouldn't that be a solution to the never-ending objections saying that Jupiter cannot be used as a resources for various gases because that gravity sink would use too much fuel to leave?

I think you got it wrong.

“C is not how the computer works” is a statement about C controlling an abstract machine rather than the metal.

I remember applying for a Class C block of IP addresses back in 1993 was as simple as sending in a preformatted email template to InterNIC and getting your address space about twenty minutes later in a reply.

- Ah, I see. Does there always exist a velocity `v(theta)` that will make the bullet hit you in the back after one orbit? A slightly different question, but if you shoot a bullet perpendicular to the moon's surface at any speed (as long as it won't hit the ground), it will always hit you in the back after one orbit, right?

- I suppose if you think about it in terms of kinetic energy, this makes sense.

Have the controls changed? I've only noticed changes in how it gets displayed -- what is harder to see and use? I mostly use the switch and the volume buttons.

The only thing that I've noticed is that when I use Sonos, it hijacks the volume button (so that the volume on my phone controls the volume of the Sonos speaker), but when I stop using Sonos (like leaving the network or doing something else that uses sound), the Sonos setting is sticky. I usually have my volume muted, but after selecting a song on Sonos my local device volume is adjusted to match whatever the Sonos volume was.

To be clear this article isn't whether globalization is good or bad but about how it affects "American workers". Its pretty clear it has been on average very good for America and the world, but bad for say factory workers or coal miners.

Most of the world is far better off in nearly every measure than 20 years ago.

Run it in a tunnel (cut and cover to reduce costs) with a reduced atmospheric pressure that goes up the side of an equatorial mountain. Mt. Kenya is the best prospect from what I remember the last time I looked at this. It is just south of the equator so you get max angular momentum from the spin of the earth, it is about 5km above sea level so you are at half the atmospheric pressure as sea level, and it is relatively close to a downrange ocean in case the launch does not go as planned.

> Just tell me what you think is a fair price and I'll decide whether or not I want to buy it. Don't undercut the price by 25% and then be offended when I don't pay the right amount.

The issue here is that you're not taking money out of the merchant's pockets, your price is either being (effectively) subsidized by either other patrons of the restaurant (assuming the total tips are low enough to trigger minimum wage repayment by the owner) or your meal is subsidized by the servers which, often, are very junior works or generally disadvantaged in terms of employee rights.

If you're cool with that then that's all fine, but the person being undercut is simply not the person who is setting the price.
Yes people still have challenges and problems. But at the end of day, there are hundreds of millions fewer people in poverty than there were just a few decades ago.
