You are looking at it too shallowly, you need to observe multiple dimensions.
As someone mentioned, quality of the study in 1919 is quite questionable.
But in 1919, population density was way different.

Average home was about 5 people, now its about 2.5.
US has about 8 times more households than back then.
Back then, there were 9 areas that had population between 500k-1 million. Now, theres about 40 in that category and about 40 in above 1 million category.

Why take a look at this data?
Because it shows you what happened - less people inside, more people outside. There are more external centres of congregation than we had before - more malls with more people, more bars, more shops. The chances are you will encounter 5-10 times more people than back then on your way to the store, and thats a low guesstimate.

Edit: My point is, masks outside are now way more necessary than in 1919 when in mid-high populated areas.
You can argue about how the system should work until you are blue in the face, but the fact is that if you show up at a restaurant and don’t tip, then you are making your waiter have a bad day.
Yup, they've literally weaponized DMCA for this and it's appalling.
Employers are rude and taking advantage of people. A person paying what they are asked and stated to pay is not being rude and taking advantage of people.

When I was younger, there was tipping for waiters. Now, if someone hands you a drink, they swivel an iPad around and present an option for a 25% tip.
There's no absolute requirement for using Facebook to communicate with others over the Internet, so there's no sensible reason why they (or anyone else) should be compelled to host content they don't like.

Just because certain platforms are popular doesn't really change things from a legal or a moral perspective, and it might be because of their editorial discretion that they are popular in the first place.

What they DON'T tell you about Covid: Fewer beds taken up than last year
Because, for one thing, absent tipping, pay would probably tend to be more egalitarian across front of house and back of house. And some servers (especially young females working busy shifts) would definitely lose out with a switch to a straight salary. This has been studied. Might check out the Freakonomics episodes on the topic. But restaurants that have tried to make the switch have largely gone back.

The employer will only make up their wage to minimum. Ask any waiter whose base rate is below minimum how this works.

The problem is that this is only done when the base wage + tips over a period falls below minimum wage. So it’s less likely that the employer will make up the difference, and more likely that other people around who are following social conventions will make up the difference, and the waiter will simply earn less money on days when you show up, and you will pay less money for food, because your food is partially subsidized by people who tip.
How close is legislation to make restaurants pay minimum wages before tip? If it’s not close, why?

It seems that would solve a lot of the problems surrounding tipping and the employee situation in restaurants in general.
Sounds a bit like mandatory donations. Not much of a donation then eh?

> It was highly targeted advertising on targets which were highly susceptible to be turned

This doesn't gel with me... how many people saw the ads, how many times, and of those, how many were actually influenced by it?

Going by my sample size of two (my sister and my wife) they both claim that they never even look at ads that appear on screen.

I honestly am calling bullshit on the whole ad industry here... show me evidence that a significant number of people are influenced by ads that makes it worth spending money on (if unbiased data actually exists).

Are there any advertisers out there that are seeing a quantifiable return on their ad spend?
As a European that's like hearing someone say they have no idea how to measure the width of a box (measuring tape or ruler), an amount of water (measuring cup), or an amount of a solid that won't nicely fit into cups or spoons (e.g. apple). You never came across a recipe that called for 200g sugar and 400g flower, for example?

From someone who watches american vlogs I heard that everything in the USA is cups and spoons. It makes me wonder: doesn't it get old to have to clean the cup and a set of spoons after every use? Why not pour directly into the mixing bowl that you put on a scale?
"When I tip (outside the US) its done so as a genuine expression of gratitude for good service. It's my way of encouraging and rewarding good service. If its done under compulsion than its no longer a tip, it's a charge and good service is relegated as less meaningful."

That's interesting.

When in Europe I've found it pretty common to see a "tip" section in the bill, where the tip is already added on to the bill by the management and counted in to total you have to pay.

That's rare in the US, where at most one sees a "suggested amount", and usually tipping is completely optional.
The linked article makes a convincing case against cloth masks in a healthcare setting but doesn't suggest they're not helpful or harmful outside that.
I would actually say the employer is the one taking advantage of people, not the customer. They’re exploiting social pressure to get away with not paying staff a livable wage.
That doesn't seem to be the case for GSuite and Google Cloud.
Here in Ecuador restaurants typically add a 12% service charge to your bill. That seems better than just just increasing the price of the menu items and re-assures the customer that they are paying what would be the tip, and don't need to leave an additional tip.
Thanks for the tool, i just used it to increase my grade.
This issue has become the worst and least productive flame war on HN that I've ever seen. It's literally the same argument over and over with nothing new added.

Flagged because the article is completely, demonstrably wrong in its legal analysis and because another of these flame wars is not making any of us smarter.

I have a pet theory on why tipping remains popular in America. It goes something like this: Americans want the illusion of choice, even if they repeatedly make the same predictable choices. So, even if most people just add 15-20% (whatever the local norm is), they, in theory, have the ability to pay more or less, depending on the service. If the tip was factored into the price, the customer would lose that ability, even if they don’t actually use it very often, if at all.
The system is unjust, and you are paying less than what is expected of you, and you benefit from this because your meals are partially subsidized by people around you who are tipping, so you benefit and others suffer by your decision.
There is much anti-tipping sentiment in this thread, but customers have information about the quality of service that restaurant managers do not, so the ability to leave a large tip, small tip, or no tip at all should improve service on average.

Because using `(*ptr).member` everywhere is annoying. There's plenty of times you want or need to have direct access to a member rather than always dereferencing a pointer.
I've been wondering about the sent from heaven M1 reviews. I don't have the MacBook Pro yet, but planning on picking up on on Black Friday.

I've compared my list against this wonderful site: https://isapplesiliconready.com/

Overall, my only concern is Postman.
Yes, it would. Civilized states have done away with tipped minimum wages, so employees can no longer complain about being taken advantage of by employers not paying them for tip totals not getting them to minimum wage limits.

> Facebook Ad company should be independent from Facebook

Be under no illusions... Facebook IS an ad company! Their product is the people that use the platform.

There is no separation.

The Facebook data feed that users interact with is the bait to harvest the data for ads... it's nothing more than that.
None of that will work. Sure, have some basic regulatory model for your political campaigns to avoid unduly intervention by foreign actors and similar shady stuff,but that is an small deterrent. You cannot avoid targeted advertising, hell, all advertising is in one way or another targeted. Even if you get rid of advertisement period, you will have to deal with stuff like famous academic Op-Eds, celebrities recommending who to vote for, media bias, etc. So you can control the blatant intervention but at the end you have to trust all voting citizens are discerning adults, savvy consumers of information in a complex world, although you know that is not true.
Plenty of loans have a fixed interest rate.

But you have a point that the loan is supposed to have federal backing/protections would make it harder to justify releasing these loans.

But I would argue that predatory pricing against students would negate that.
OpenWISP: A Hackable Network Management System
It’s not to “prevent a run on masks”, that’s an oversimplification. Not recommending masks was because we KNEW the n95 type masks worked, but there were not nearly enough of them for health care workers, let alone the rest of us. As science progressed in the topic, we learned that even cloth masks which are easier to produce reduce the amount of virus people spread out into the environment.

If people are skeptical or confused, it’s because they refuse to understand the concept that our knowledge about the world changes and evolves over time.
In my experience, the waiters tipped the bar staff and the busboys out of our own tips A our discretion. And in general the bar staff did a good job, but they absolutely knew which waiters tipped well and which tipped poorly.
Hi @foxcpp.

Project site says "all-in-one" (one daemon) to replace postfix, etc. Like sendmail?

Please say more.

For 20+ plus years I've been advocating for postfix instead of sendmail style architectures.

I don't know what to call the "one task, one process" style of postfix. What's the opposite of monolithic?

This tension is replaying (again) in the web services vs monolithic architecture debate.

Ironically, I prefer monolithic web apps over web services based designs. Contradicting myself.

I'd like to better understand when each style is better suited to the task at hand.
its interesting that once again stress triggers regenerative processes.
More people outside of the legal profession should have an understanding of that freedom. I feel like our educational system concentrates so much on specific freedoms we have that it ignores other limitations we place on our government's powers. The implicit, and well litigated, restriction against limiting freedom of association is an extremely important example of the "forgotten rights". So when lay people run up against it, they assume there must be some kind of corruption going on, when in fact, it's an obvious consequence of constitutional law that everyone probably should have been familiarized with in high school.

Of course, that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to people misunderstanding the law. As the article that birthed this thread illustrates. Which only reiterates the need for our nation's civics classes to do a better job.

Then companies will use this to post fake "reports" about their competitors to damage their reputations. This is a societal issue, technological solutions do not solve societal issues.
> Their primary sell is teaching logic.
No their primary sell is to instruct things one by one by reading a literal script. They literally have a standardized script to read to the kids. Things like drag and drop icons and stuff on an already open source website code.org. They do not teach anything. They just tell the kid what to do and make them feel that its done by them.

>1:1 tutoring can be highly effective, creating a 2 sigma improvement.

Agreed, they do, but not when majority of teachers they recruit don't even need to know coding to teach coding. Some teachers are literally housewives trying to make an income during this pandemic teaching coding without knowing anything remotely related to computers. I don't think circumstances like these will create a 2-sigma improvements in students. ;)

Most textures look fine despite the 4-bit quantization, but color artifacts/hue change do become more apparent when multiplying with a light factor (to darken the textures on the bottom and sides of blocks), so I'd say 4-bit is definitely pushing the limit. 6 bits or even 8 bits per color component would be ideal, though unfortunately on a small FPGA like this we cannot afford such luxuries ;). It is probably the first thing I'd change if I were to port this to a larger FPGA, since it would be pretty straightforward to do and the increase in visual quality would likely be worth it.
Depending on your write throughput, versioning can be quite expensive.

Also, we were already at a throughput where the s3 metadata nodes would sometimes go offline, so I'm not sure putting more work on them would have improved our overall situation.
Unions for sure. You can create tagged unions with different data types and shapes (even function code to execute dynamically).

If an employer and employee agree on a wage rate, I don't think it's the government's business to intervene, regardless of the level. If you think someone is being underpaid at wage x, create a comparable job paying more than x.

The thing is, I don't see how Facebook have any business allowing or forbidding users to install software on their own devices. I mean, if this was about FB banning users for TOS violations, that's one thing. But claiming a third party is not legally allowed to provide software that does something FB do not like? That's a whole different can of worms.

It's already the case in several places.

The people most opposed to that legislation are the bar/waitstaff. Anecdotally, I know bartenders with take home pay close to engineers. They don't want tipping to go away.
ptr.member should work here- I mean the compiler knows the left side is a pointer, so it should automatically dereference it.

This isn't true in the slightest. Your 'neutrality' or whatever isn't important at all. Every single paper and pamphlet the people writing the first amendment were familiar with was deeply, intrinsically partisan. Those 17th century platforms still expressly retained the right to decide who featured inside their pages.
Note that the timescale for seeing results is related to the selection pressure. You can see very fast results (e.g. a single or few generations) if the pressure is extraordinary.

Neither of those things are owned and moderated by a private company, and private companies definitely don't orient their product on the basis of neutrality.
The tipping hasn’t stopped even in states and cities the government has already done (3).
During the initial lock downs with government support, many people did not face a choice of death or poverty. They only have that issue now because of lack of support from the Senate (specifically Sen. McConnell, who by rules controls what is voted on).
Yet many of the people that attend anti-mask rallies also are ardent Republicans (same as Sen. McConnell). So I have trouble squaring your argument that it is about government over-reach. Likewise, if it about government spending causing issue, where were the rallies about the tax cuts for the highest earning segment last year? That law caused a lot more debt than the stimulus to support lockdown.

Vote to remove the ridiculous exception from minim wages in restaurants. It really is an exception to let restaurants count patrons money as wages.
Or social security numbers in the US, which are absolutely not fit for this purpose.

For those in the US who don't want a national ID: it wouldn't have to be one if the states issued their own. Yes, this would mean they'd all need the technical capability to operate a CA securely. Fund them enough to do that.
Right. But storage costs are per-GB, so as disks get denser then all costs drop per GB.
I don't think the people who distrust science or politics are coming to that conclusion in a necessarily rational way. Their lack of faith is more of a general malaise. When most of your people think the elected body that makes laws is mostly corrupt, you've already conceded that the society's core guidance is corrupt.

All you have to do then is wait for things to upset the public, like a mandatory inconvenience, for them to start to protest and later revolt. It's similar for both Black Lives Matter as for no-maskers/no-lockdowners. They're pissed that the system is corrupt and imposing itself on them. At that point they may throw out any institution of authority if they feel oppressed by it.

That's what we did. Server side upload, link into websocket, client downloads image. It did work 99.99% of all requests.
Using measuring spoons instead of a scale drives me crazy. Even basic recipes benefit from mise en place and wiping/cleaning measuring spoons to do that is maddening. When using a scale the task becomes a simple matter of counting in just the same way as using measuring spoons. Using grams is the real win. Having everything in a base 10 system means less math in your head while managing the rest of the kitchen.
