Interesting. I also don't have AC nor do I ever exceed tier 1 pricing. I thought time of use would be much more beneficial for someone who gets into tier 2 pricing if they can shift their use away from peak hours, making all their power at the cheapest rate. Right now my tier 1 cost is $0.21/kwh, the TOU plans are $0.25/kwh off peak, $0.5/kwh peak, but there is a $0.08/kwh credit for within tier 1 usage. Mathed out it's still more expensive.

This is exactly how Indian government has banned tiktok. They are never able to ban websites because the web is open. But apps they can ban easily because if Apple/Google say no, they will be squeezed.
Fascinating. Are we now at 20-23% (exclusive of taxes, as I think they're usually calculated, so the variance here is entirely how much meals tax you have on your meal) tip rates as the new normal?
It isn't hard to find servers who do support tipping; especially in high-end and fine dining, it's relatively lucrative.

It just occurred to me maybe the reason some people find tipping so stressful, is that they think they're supposed to be grading someone with it.

Because in the US it's not like taxes are included either, and and the "default" tipping percentage is much easier to calculate than tax percentages.

I've lived in countries that tip and don't tip, it's honestly not a huge deal. The fact the menu says a service charge is included or not doesn't really change much at all.
> Companies aren't evil, they're just things. We don't jail guns for killing people, we jail people for killing people. Why in hell should this be any different when money is involved ?

The general idea goes like this. Suppose you take out a car loan from the bank, then you drive recklessly and cause more damage than you have assets or insurance. Should the victims be able to go after the bank? Only if you don't want anybody to be able to get a car loan.

And it's the same thing with corporations. Do you want your retirement account to be able to hold index funds? With unlimited liability you can forget about it, because you'd end up being a minority shareholder in everything including whatever the next company to blow up the world economy is, and thereby get wiped out.

So that's the idea. You should be able to invest in something and limit your exposure to the amount invested.

And that's not even the problem here. What we're wanting to happen here isn't to wipe out some grandma who happened to own two shares of Purdue Pharma, it's to get after the people actually responsible for doing the deed, i.e. the managers of the company who actually made the decisions rather than the non-manager shareholders. But that is, in principle, already possible. If you incorporate a murder for hire company and then try to assert corporate limited liability when they come for you, good luck with that.

The real problem is that once a company has figured out that it's going down, it can engage in a lot of complicated restructuring that makes it hard to suss out where the money has gone by the time you get around to actually pinning the liability to them. But they'd be able to do the same thing with contracts and such regardless of limited liability. It's a hard problem, and the hardness isn't where you think it is.
I’m British. I’m sorry you feel this way. It’s the thing I hate the most about visiting the US. I’m going say this once and really big for you:

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TIP IN THE UK.

You can if you want but, having worked in the service sector, it is not expected, service staff won’t think worse of you and please don’t feel guilty.

Unlike the US we have a vaguely liveable minimum wage that is nearly £10 per hour now and tipping is absolutely not required.

I only tip when the service was excellent or the person actually went above and beyond.
In what way is that evidence that the harm caused can not sum to the number given? You could also figure out how tall it would be as a stack of ones, but it's supremely irrelevant.
With a single Federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) as in Australia, you know it is 10%. All prices include the GST and are the price you will pay. There are no other sales taxes. Everyone knows what the government's cut is. Everyone knows how much they are actually paying. I can't see why anyone would want a more complicated system.

Clarification: Many "essential" goods like simple foods are GST exempt. They will be marked as such on the receipt. Again, the price on the shelf or box is what you will actually pay. There are no hidden surprises.

Though there are still some special cases where they sneak in extra taxes - stamp duty on houses and import duties on cars for example.

It’s been nearly a week and we’re still locked out. Does anyone know how to complete the unlocking process?
15-20% has been the norm for my whole adult life, and the upper range (1) doesn't often materially change the price of a meal and (2) simplifies the math. Use whatever system you want, though; the point is: you are not actually on the hook to evaluate the server's performance. Think of it as tipping the institution of table service.
Good point. Sorry for submitting it.

Your data is private and you own all of your data. We do not and will not share your data with anybody else unless you share it yourself through the sharing of projects, pipelines, endpoints, or exports. We do however store and process your data. We also let you generate endpoints so we need some wording to cover these cases. We'll double check our terms to make this point clearer, but we added this because you can generate live endpoints and you can share those.
> The more sensible thing would have been to increase menu prices by 18%.

That would not be sensible because when people are comparing restaurants they will appear 18% more expensive than an identically priced competition when they aren’t.

> I hate it when you have to treat a menu like a legal document

I don’t know why you’d need to. I’ve travelled in Europe plenty, where restaurants charge a service charge. It’s right there in the receipt. I don’t know why this would be any different.
It's really not that much different from anything else.

I think people in the US (and perhaps visitors to the US) would be surprised how much more expensive high-end restaurants would need to be to account for tipping --- of course, what seems to be happening instead of tip abolition is just a mandatory standardized tip. Which is fine! It's the same thing either way.
It's not 18% price increase though. People normally already pay tips just not a fixed 18%.
It's backwards.

I can imagine preferring Python syntax. I can't much imagine wanting Python slowness, which is inherent to the language semantics. People can disagree about syntax, but who wants slowness?

Converting is probably just a matter of a Makefile rule that would turn the code into standard C. It's just another code generator, like lex or yacc.

a) this sounds horrendous, and

Wait, it is possible to get a genuine* battery replacement for an Apple device? And no, I'm not being sarcastic, my friend was told by an Apple Store that even an attempt to open the Macbook chassis voids warranty. They refused to replace the battery EVEN WHEN HE WAS READY TO PAY "because there was an unauthorized attempt to open the device". He finally had to go to a repair shop and get it done under an hour (because now the warranty was void anyway).

genuine = guaranteed by Apple to not break your warranty

> I hate the idea of tipping. I tip generously. Both of these statements are simultaneously true.

I strongly agree with this. Particularly in the US, where tipped workers are allowed to be paid less than minimum wage on the assumption they will be tipped. So yeah, I’ll tip. But what a damn stupid system.
Oh interesting! My impression was that it was 10-15% about two decades ago and has now risen to 15-20% with most people I know tending closer to the 20% edge. Maybe it's simply that my social circles have become more generous tippers.

PCI compliance works because of the aligned financial interests of the actors.

Most kinds of compliance are linked to legal costs as the ultimate source of consequences, not so for PCI.

The ultimate costs for failing to comply with PCI are the actual costs of card fraud which don’t depend on anything in the legal system. When your regulations are designed and enforced by the entity that actually loses money when they aren’t followed, motivation lines up and they work better.

While I try not to use that phrase publicly (because I know it will offend some people who see it as exaggeration), thinking of an Apple developer/customer as being in an abusive relationship is exactly what convinced me to get out & stop using/developing for Apple platforms. It took me a few years to see it, and nudges from friends ("Why do you put up with them treating you like that?") but it was a very useful perspective on Apple for me.
Do you think it isn’t true? You seem to be just deflecting.
I'm an RMS fan overall & think he's been fairly prophetic over the years even and respect him for sticking to his Free Software guns even when his views were unpopular, but these comments of his regarding the Epstein case were stupid. Yes, RMS is correct, the term "sexual assault" is perhaps too vague in this case–the legal term for sex with an underage person is "rape."

The context also make his comments strain credulity beyond the breaking point. "We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing." So this 73 year old man has a 17 year old approach him for sex on one of his patron's famous young-girl-harem flights, and I'm to understand that Minsky can't apply his AI-pioneering genius to figure out what's going on? Like, am I supposed to believe that he thought this girl young enough to be his granddaughter was just attracted to his magnetic personality? Give me a break.

> Minsky may not have known

Can you really look me in the screen and tell me you believe that? Again I say: give me a break.

I think it's better to call a spade a shovel here and concede that Minsky knew what he was doing. The fact is Stallman probably _didn't_ consider Minksy to have done anything wrong, and that's why he spoke up, and he was "cancelled" because it was pretty plain to everyone else that it _was_ wrong.

£10/hr sounds significantly lower than what a US server would make in a $$ restaurant (based on industry norms for diner/day/server), let alone a $$$ or a $$$$. If they're relying on that little cash, I'm definitely tipping next time I'm in the UK.
Ugh, I generally pay 0% tip and these kinds of restaurants just add friction where I have to send the bill back for them to remove it.

"because this would also imply that cause and effect are non-objects"

Cause and effect are no less real than, say, the sun. But the sensation of them and the conceptualization of them as we conceive them is a figment of the brain.

Brain itself can be wired in any way. All of our senses of external world are hallucinations inside our head driven by stimuli from sensory organs. All we can ever 'observe' is this hallucination. Yet it would be folly to believe that the external world would not exist. But! Our interpretation of the sensory experience can create lots of unreal things which are not true nor real.

I think the difficulty and key is separating the figments in our heads which reflect actual things from associations and fantasies made by our mind.

Ask HN: Is a SaaS provider expected to have a trademark in every country?
I'm wondering how international law is affecting SaaS Providers. For example, let's say Notion.so has a trademark in the US for the name "Notion". Then someone builds, theoretically, a similar service in the UK, and trademarks "Notion" there. Can the UK entity prevent "Notion Labs" (that doesn't have an office in the UK) to sell to customers in the UK?

In a broader perspective, are SaaS providers, that inherently have customers all over the world, expected to register a trademark in all countries or only the countries they are supposed to have offices in?
There's still some correlation to quality. Personally, and I think my friends all do this as well, I have a default rate in mind that I then adjust up or down depending on service. Usually criteria for adjusting up is whether the server has a noteworthy level of service or whether I'm being an unusually needy customer. Adjusting down usually requires something fairly egregious.
I think there's more to it than this. In traditional engineering, you only need to be licensed to sign off.

You can still effectively do exactly the same job as a licensed engineer without being licensed, you just can't sign off on work (And thus be held responsible).

The way I see it, creating a license for Software Engineers doesn't really fix the issue. It just creates a scapegoat to blame when things go wrong.

Former CIA officer caught spying for “motherland”
Where in the UK is this? I don't think I've ever tipped, although some restaurants do add an optional service charge (if you pay by card, it'll ask when you're paying).

I've never once even considered tipping for a haircut, and I've also never heard of Indian's having a 'poor tipper' reputation :)

I sound grumpy, but I do tip when I feel it's required. Once I went to a restaurant with family, and realised that they had no vegan food (my dad had thought a green 'V' meant vegan), and the chef and waitress went way above in preparing me some off-menu food for me, even though it was quite late in the evening. For me, that was an example of where tipping was required and I've been back many times since.
Is it 10% in all states?

In Canada, the provincial sales tax differs in each province. The federal rate is 5%. Alberta has no sales tax, whereas Ontario charges 8% (post-harmonization it's a HST of 13%).

In the US, the sales tax differs not only by state, but by county and city.

The tax situation in Chicago is particularly bizarre.

The sales tax in Cook County, where the city of Chicago located, is 10.25%. The sales tax one county over (say Dupage County, 15-20 miles outside the city and still part of the greater Chicago metropolitan area) is 8%.

Restaurants in the City of Chicago (but not other parts of Cook County) charge 10.75% because there's a city-specific restaurant tax.

The different tax rates create strange arbitrage opportunities. If I buy an iPhone from an Apple Store a few miles outside Chicago, I get an automatic 2.25% discount.
Yep. This action ensures my next computer purchase won’t be a Mac. Time to learn to love a Linux distro.

Why is that horrendous? (I get "annoying"). It's the restaurant sharing the cost of labor with the diner, which you're doing one way or the other, but tips have less price stickiness than list prices.

There's certainly a "pretense" of tipping as an incentive, and you can treat it that way if you want to (to a point; you can't reasonably tip much below 15%). But you should ignore the pretense; it's not worth the psychic energy.

In the comment I was replying to, your first sentence was "Google profits from the content." How then is it not about whether Google is profitable or not? I am contradicting your assertion that Google profits materially from this content. If Google removes the content and remains profitable, that strikes directly at your claim that Google profits from the content. It's not beside the point. It is exactly responsive to what you wrote. Maybe that is not the point you were trying to make, but IMO that is an issue with what wrote, not my understanding of it. The language you used was about profits, plain as day.
