No, servers in the US do not make $3/hr; they're required to make minimum wage and have a starting backstop wage (that's the $3 you hear about), and make as much more than minimum as their tips allow.

Of course, the US minimum wage is much too low to live on in most urban areas, so the minimum wage part is cold comfort. But servers in $$/$$$/$$$$ restaurants make substantially more than minimum wage in tips. By OpenTable's scale, a $$$ is ~$40/customer; a 4-top would be ~$32 in tips, a normal table is turned in 1.5 hours or so, and you serve multiple tables simultaneously. You can work out a rough range of outcomes in your head. Service staff come in an hour or so early and may stay a bit later to close out, and that brings the average down, as does sharing, splitting, or pooling, where that's allowed to happen, but it's still much higher than minimum wage.

Obviously, this applies to higher-end restaurants. But then, higher-end restaurants are where the "no tipping" movement is happening.

Too late to edit or delete this post, but looking back on it a couple hours later, it was unkind and I shouldn't have written it.

That's all.
Perhaps because you didn't read it?
While this is a bit of an after-the-fact view, it seems like there was a moment where they basically said "we've got enough tags." Richer and special-case capabilities tended to move into (first) applet platforms like Java and Flash, and later JavaScript and CSS enhancements atop a fairly thin platform.

I feel like this was the same stall-out that created "it took until HTML5 before we had a more or less universal slider form control" and "there's still nothing resembling a OS-native dropdown menu or rich-text widget in pure HTML."

That time period sort of coincided with the window of a couple years-- when we still had to think about 40-bit and 128-bit crypto offerings, you had to explicitly navigate to a SSL domain to check out, and things like Flooz were still considered a viable idea. Nobody really knew how to take a payment online, so we ended up basically copying the payment from from a mail-order catalog in HTML. A strong "this is the secure and easy way with big clicky buttons" proposal, supported by the leading browsers, would have steered the nascent market effectively.
Unfortunately IANAL and the formulation of the ToS/PP in your, and that of most other online service providers, always give me that naggy feeling that the legalese leaves so many loopholes, texts open to different interpretation, that effectively - even though it may seem so - I have no privacy guarantees whatsoever. That might be entirely unwarranted of me, but the feeling is there. Unease.

Definitely agree! That's why the author has explicitly filtered out patternwork by excluding "circles" that are particularly close to an airport. It doesn't mean anything is sinister, but this project is definitely aware of and disinterested in just finding student pilots beating up the pattern.
In order to implement the measurement described in the thought experiment, you basically have to uncompute Charlie's state back to the start of the experiment (to disentangle him from the qubit you want to measure), do the measurement on the single qubit, then recompute Charlie forward. This means that when Charlie is making deductions about the current state of affairs, like "if my qubit is |0> then the other qubit is |+>, that thinking needs to be valid during the computation and during the recomputation. But the conclusions Charlie is making are not correct during the recomputation, e.g. it is no longer the case that if his qubit is |0> then the other qubit is |+> at that time, and as a result the whole argument (based on Charlie's reasoning being valid so that an outside agent can use his conclusions) falls apart.

Ask HN: How to create uniqueness as a B2B AI startup
Since a lot of ai/ml research tends to be open-source, how do you create uniqueness (defensive moats, higher value prop., etc.) as an b2b2c focused ai company ? Most competitors would have access to the same models and academic literature as we would, so besides trying to compete on “who can collect the most data?” are there any other ways you can defend your business?
I know it’s incredibly wishful thinking, but perhaps an end result of this saga will be for Apple to massively reduce their payment fees. I would love to see Apple Pay deployed to more websites and online stores.

It is a real pleasure to use.

(The one downside is that it does mean I have to use the same email address for each vendor.)
I'm a medical researcher, and I've worked with exactly this sort of data. The number of hoops I had to jump through to even be allowed on the project was insane. Background checks, legal forms of all kinds, trainings on how to keep the data secure. Fingerprint locked rooms. Access control. And most importantly: the data themselves were air-gapped.

If I fucked up on this scale, jail would be the least of my worries. I'd never work again. I'd be professionally shunned forever, with no hope of redemption once my name is attached to the incident in some Google search. No more grants, no more collaborations, no nothing. I'd be ruined. Frankly I'd be begging to be let into prison; where else am I gonna be able to eat?

Sir (or Madam) you are a genius!
I wonder if this was built with security in mind. How easy would it be to tamper with the opaque switch?

Also is it fail-safe? Does it turn clear when the power fails?

It could be very embarrassing and/or result in some liability issues if not.
The whole point of having the prescription drug system is so that patients can be provided with safe, monitored access to potentially dangerous drugs. The entire purpose of a doctor being involved in the system is to prevent the outcome we are experiencing, otherwise they'd just sell these things over the counter.

I'm curious how long it took you to build this initial product given the complexity.

YC has a bias for shipping quickly, but my gut instinct is that it would have taken you a while to build this initial version.

Did it only take a few months, or closer to 8-12+?
Yep. And how is this not a standard errors and omissions insurance policy that tech agencies like mine should (are required) be carrying?

We spend about 15k per year for about 10mm in coverage (we are a small shop). This sort of oversight is not just an engineering one but it’s fundamental to the core ops of the business. If we are rushing under client pressure (or just running late) to the extent we take on risk to trigger liability, it’s full stop.

Guy number two here had the background to know better. Just didn’t make it a priority. It’s unfortunate. The only way things change is when we start seeing data warehousing/collection as a liability (not an asset) and manage it accordingly. And making the penalty for error unforgivable.

Oh, lots of servers are earning less than that, but in the UK, if there's no tipping norm, and people are generally paid a $14/hr minimum wage instead, then fine dining servers in the US are substantially out-earning those in the UK.
It’s probably completely different in the US but in Europe doctors can get in trouble for not following so-called guidelines.
I think it's cultural. Minnesota is doing it though.

https://www.minnesotamonthly.com/food-drink/new-restaurant-s...

The other issue is US consumers get confused and don't know what to do. The difference between a tip, a surcharge, and a service fee is so subtle that it's a mess to keep up with.

https://laist.com/2019/08/26/restaurant_surcharge_tip_los_an...

I think for this to work, it needs to be established as a new widespread social norm. Otherwise the confusion actually increases the friction of dining out (well pre-covid), and restaurants lose. It takes brave restaurants to risk being a casualty of confusion. A good number of restaurants might need to be sacrificed.

Most of the people dying of overdoses in the US died because of fentanyl.[1]

From 1999-2018:

Prescription opioid deaths went from 1 to 5 per 100,000.

Heroin deaths went from 1 to 5 per 100,000.

Deaths from fentanyl went from 0 to 10 per 100,000.

So at peak, prescription opioid deaths were ~25% of all opioid overdoses. And most deaths had others drugs in their system.

This is kind of Off-topic, but I've been getting back to doing web development for the past few months. One thing I've been surprised is how much high quality content marketing/blogs there are especially regarding React.

The Logrocket blog is an excellent example of this. Lots of useful blog posts. Another one I've been relying on is the blog of Robin Wieruch [1].

I guess stating this is a little obvious, but one of the upsides of using popular tools is the productivity boost you get from the surrounding ecosystem.

> Am I only not dying of thirst because I agreed to the terms offered by the local water company?

It is if they have a monopoly on water.

Imagine their terms were manifestly unreasonable. If you want water service you'll have to pay $50,000/year. What would you do? If the answer is that it's reasonable to dig a well or something like that, they haven't got a monopoly. If the answer is to pay the $50,000/year because the only alternative is to die of thirst, there you are.
There are other ways to hide money now. Fatca is one way, allowing the US to get info but not forced to share it.

So the new way is to have a US company (from Nevada, Wyoming, etc.) with at least one foreign partner.

If you’re interested in this I suggest reading Moneyland by Oliver Bullough.
Fair enough, although I don't see why the constant rejection and need to explain the same thing to Apple again and again seem like a normal thing to us. Their review process is too rigid and their control over your app updates is too tight, which is why they are now getting bunch of other problems with companies like Epic.

Speaking of Epic, maybe you're right and it's not just small developers.
This is a nice overview that I will keep and send to people while it’s still relevant. I recently did a small amount of traveling and got to speak with a couple strangers in person during my travels. The amount of misinformation floating around regarding the virus in more rural areas of the US is staggering. Most people in the city seem to have some grasp of the magnitude of the issue and the various risks but out in the countryside I heard all manner of complete misinformation.
I'd argue homebrew is the cartwheel that brought the bricks there, and not the bricks themselves.

You don't think people haven't thought of that idea before? When innocent people are put to death, those involved almost always believed the evidence was absolutely certain.

The problem is: they're still sometimes wrong.

There is no known system for applying capital punishment which is infallible. They all guarantee non-zero rates of innocent death.

How many innocent people's lives should we exchange to upgrade a sentence of life-imprisonment to death? And for what benefit? A feeling of retribution?
That is clearly not the only other option next to a death penalty.

The one time I brought my laptop to an Apple Store for a serious repair, they asked for the password to my primary account. I told them to just wipe the drive if they needed access.
It seems incoherent to you because you haven't understood the issue. You haven't understood the issue because you're only listening to what Google tells you. Google wants you to have that narrow perspective because it makes you exploitable and that's good for Google's business.

Xfce is more than sufficient for my needs - I've been experimenting with TWMs, i3 most recently.

As a long term linux user, I'm well accustomed to spending exponentially more time working on the system rather than actually using it. As biologists, our computational skills tend to be middling, so dogfooding linux as my daily driver was a means to learn. If a BSD daily driver takes my learning up a notch, worth it. The top level comments reference to "elegance" and "well designed" is what struck me - these are not things I'd associate with any of the linux distros I've used.
Windows used to completely dominate the world. Americans, when polled, often say they like their own health insurance.

None of this means it is a consumer desire, and none of this says consumers want only one way to pay for something and don't want side loading. For almost every case of something Apple doesn't have, you can make the same argument. So consumers don't want big screens right? Consumers don't want small tablets right?

This is the always the excuse with Apple. Anything they don't have, it's obviously because consumers don't want it -- right up until Apple introduces it, and then all of a sudden, it's what they wanted all along.

Steve Jobs said consumers shouldn't be trusted to know what they want.

Also, all of this is a complete SMOKESCREEN for the fact that Apple could easily introduce something like WebPayments, a driver model for payment providers, and reuse the same UI for Apple Pay to delegate to partners who are vetted.

Likewise, they already allow 'side loading' in the enterprise, so the question is, why can't they allow THOSE WHO WANT IT to flip a switch, own their smart phone fully, and side load, even if it invalidates the warranty. Let people jailbreak the devices they paid >$1000 for without relying on exploits.

Yeah I have this setup for quite a few years by now, and occasionally I question whether this practice makes sense.

What does make it incredibly dangerous is that it also applies for eg “sudo”: if you don’t have any additional protection, it effectively means that any exploit in any app can be immediately extended to a local privilege escalation, as there is no additional protection in place.

In other words, be careful what you wish for. :)
Interesting study, but I feel there are more social factors that play into this and need to be studied. I have 2 kids and I can't imagine raising them without 2 parents in the household. The infant mortality rate seems very correlated to having a 2 parent household (see link for data of 2 parent households by race). Now the black doctor vs. white doctor for a black baby mortality is very interesting and it would be interesting to know if it's actually a bias
by the white doctors or if black parents are less likely to trust a white doctor and ask questions (or something along those lines).

>Why do we see standards for everything else but this? What would the standard entail?

Good question. hakfoo's answer seems to be a good start.

I would include something for automated micro-pre-payment. If you are just browsing news sites, it would be inconvenient to constantly confirm payment. Likewise, confirming payment for every played song is annoying. But that would also require some form of trust-network to take care of spam and fakes.

Like html, I wouldn't worry about getting it right the first time. It just needs to be usable and can be refined from there.

>What prevents anyone from making a standard?

Nothing. But where's the benefit for anybody to push it? If it is a standard, then all competitors can reap the profits without any investment.

This could have been Mozilla territory: Join Brave and make micro-payment a valid option for content creators.

Yup. Currently have the plastic film deployed on about half my windows. It's obviously not true double-pane, but it makes a real difference. Well worth the $.

You aren't the only one. My reasons are quite similar, albeit from a different angle: I'm more concerned about my ability to understand the depth and breadth of these dependencies to make reliable software. It's a silly thing to be anxious about since I'm fairly certain that I am better than the average developer because of it, yet it also presents roadblocks on virtually any project I work on.
Who is ever really going to be confident in signing off on complicated software systems when in effect, it's saying, "Yes this system will absolutely not break/be breached/have something happen to it". Given the complexity of modern software, it doesn't seem like a feasible solution.

Even top software companies have things break or go wrong very frequently compared to traditional engineering.

I don't see this as a good solution in the software world.

How are they colluding? Both google and apple seem to be trying to commoditize each other's (very different) cash cows and both are mostly failing at that. At least, google is failing miserably to make a dent in smartphone hardware, apple seems to struggle with software services, but maybe not as badly as google is at hardware.

I don't think the number is around $50B but more likely $15B but you're still right; this is far more than enough to run the App Store. YT makes similar revenue to the App Store but likely spends considerably more OpEx given the nature of the service. But no one really expect YT to be net-loss for Google.

This is especially true as Apple consistently claims that the App Store is an integral, inseparable part from iPhone; so even if Apple loses a significant amount of money from the App Store it should be fine as long as iPhone can make ~$100B profit each year.

Of course, they could invalidate this logic by introducing some form of competing app stores, which would be just nominal in practice, but they didn't choose to do that. I don't know why; no one really can compete with Apple in the iOS ecosystem and this would significantly mitigate their legal risk.
I wonder why does harmonization always infer a higher tax than the previous one. If we'd had harmonized VAT in Europe I guess it would be like over 20% and those with 19% or lower would end up paying more.
