...a family bought over $100 worth of tickets and food...

I'm not sure how this theater is arranged. My local theater serves beer/wine and some heavy snacks. But, it doesn't have table service. Just the typical counter service. I've never tipped and always assumed the counter staff is earning at least minimum wage (no different than buying a latte at Starbucks).

The few times I've gone to a movie theater with table service, the tickets and food/drink were separate bills - tickets purchased in advance of the showing and food/drink ordered during previews/ads. The food bill would be tipped like any other restaurant with table service.

> that you have to trust the person you're communicating with to not give up the content of the messages they've sent and received

This has always been the case for any form of communication, verbal or otherwise. You're always trusting that the people you're talking to don't share your conversation if you don't wish it to be shared. This is a inherent to communication, not anything technology can possibly fix.

Less than a year ago is NOT "quite a while". A couple years ago is also not quite a while. The fast distributions have a 2 year release cycle for their LTS releases; even longer on the slower distributions. When you have an API that has been stable and working on these distributions for _at least_ 2 of these releases, maybe I will consider using it. I'm not going to rewrite my core business every other year just to use today's API for it to change again by the next release.

I blame the distributions that literally _break_ programs one release to the next without even bothering to ensure that the newer API is working.

I will bet that most of Zoom's Linux-using enterprise customer base is still on Redhat6-7 or similarly old releases, and that is where most of their money likely comes from. Note their support pages explicitly claims they still support them.
Linux lets you create a namespace with no capability grants in it. That's what I said in my top post here. Linux lets you do it, sudo will even work it (and grant no real global capabilities) yet somehow it's a problem FOR LINUX that Linux has a userland process called sudo that couldn't ever work on Plan9.

> You don't have the ability to change what the program doing authentication sees.

Obviously not. It has to behave just like sudo in this regard! It's the only option!

Since you can't do that, your rebindings are just as localized as what Linux permits.

> Processes aren't allowed to become privileged without obtaining a cryptographic capability token via negotiation with the authentication agent. The auth agent which was started at boot will write the secret to the kernel, and give you the hash of it so you can prove you are the rightful recipient of that uid switch request. If you don't have the right secrets, you don't get a token.

This is pretty cool, and also something that could be put into a Linux userspace daemon to authenticate privileged operations. I mean this is all userspace details from a Linux perspective. Systemd could do this or some PAM module.

> Removing suid binaries with config files as a method for privilege escalation is the right path. They don't play well with namespaces.

Suid binaries aren't used that commonly for privilege escalation anyway. Much more ordinary is to use privilege inherited from init.
My guess is that that quantum gravity is constrained by not just the holographic principle but similar invariants. Many things you calculate from string theory might well turn out to be also true in other theories not so much because string theory is right but because string theory is bound by the same constraints.
I think this is indicative of the whole Apple Music experience. They are like 80% there but that last 20% is what makes a product feel polished and easy to use. It's like they half-implement things or get them to a state and say "good enough" and never look back. Really that describes most Apple-created apps. They really want to create an app, release it, and move on. They don't understand these things need constant improvements and even apps that do get some love only get updates once a year (usually) meaning that /at best/ they jump frog the competition once a year then fall behind almost immediately. A lot of their apps don't even getting in spitting range of 3rd party apps right after an update.

Like their new paid podcast thing was like 5-10 years late and will probably see 1 update a year at best.

Any chance they're trying to end the practice of tipping for the betterment of workers in the long run?
From the article ...

"Many customers also called questioning why they got a negative result from Doctors Clinical Lab but had tested positive through another lab, Morales said."

From a related article: https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/01/19/center-for-covid-con...

"Numerous Chicagoans told Block Club they received negative test results from Doctors Clinical Lab, only to get a positive elsewhere. Others never received results, or received them so late the test was effectively useless. Some people who didn’t even test at the sites were still sent results."

It appears you're saying that the response was because there were many false positive tests, when it appears to have been the opposite.
2 seconds of google search seems to prove the opposite... I don't think anyone is implying it's comparable to heroin.

How Desktop GNU+Linux sucks for desktop developers: Zoom edition

Windows will happily run GUI apps written 20 years ago. GDI is still supported. MFC Apps still run. Likely VB6 apps still run.

Frankly this post turns me off towards even thinking about developing any type of native Linux app and if I need one, just use the browser or Electron.
"Support" refers not to the ability to make the installation, but rather whether or not Microsoft is going to spend energy making sure their OS works well on the given configuration.

The fact that they straight up say that these configurations may not be eligible for auto-updates is very much saying they do not support these configurations.
I know there are some lucky bartenders that make a ton, but in my personal experience the people I know who have worked as servers and bartenders are not supporters. I'm actually finding it very difficult to find any surveys or research on this. I found one poll that shows tipped workers are in favor of a $15 minimum wage in addition to tips (obviously), but I can't find anything asking about a higher minimum wage without tips.
Periods would have helped. They're standard even at the ends of paragraphs.

I wouldn't lay this all on the world of tipping. The author was working as a bartender in a movie theater making $10 plus split tips. People don't see movie theaters are a tipping environment, especially for the vast majority of the positions that aren't bartending. These are the epitome of minimum wage "low skill" jobs that we apparently demand exist, but don't want to pay the cost for.
As is the readme.
The most professionalised elements are the ones who end up in high-end places, because they made a real career of it. Because of that, it's likely that they are also the ones most represented by unions and associations that might be consulted by policymakers. So when a policymaker puts forward an idea to improve their condition, and gets back an icy or ambivalent response (as well as a very negative one from employers, of course), he'll just shelve it very quickly.

Sounds to me like a lot of "customers" in the US are just a55holes and anyone who has to work with them regularly is right to just stop.

I'm sure a little common courtesy in everyday interactions is all it takes to make workplaces enjoyable; and a wage that allows you to stay warm and fed while working a _single job_ will get most people back to work. It's really a very low bar to set, I'm surprised this is even such a debated topic, it's sad.

Good! High school kids shouldn’t need jobs. Encouraging that just ensures we have a child labor workforce that we can underpay, driving down wages for adults who need that money to survive.

Child labor laws are a thing for a reason. If there’s not a lot of value in a job, it shouldn’t be a job. Yes, this will mean a degradation in service level across service jobs. Yes, that’s okay. Customers need to adapt to a world where they are expected to be more considerate, otherwise they’ll find themselves without help.
Menu: $5 burger

Customer 1 (richy rich): $5 + $2 tip

Customer 2 (workin man): $5 + $1 tip

Customer 3 (poor man): $5 no tip

Total: $18

Menu: $6 burger

Customer 1 (richy rich): $6 + $1 tip

Total: $7

You've reduced your customer based on true affordability and perceived affordability. This doesn't consider the margin on selling a single burger but generally you need to push product rather than sell master pieces.
Why should wait staff salary be the thing that gets sacrificed to economic downfall? They have much less control over what kind of food the restaurants sell and for what price.

It makes more sense for those who have more decision power to eat the consequences. They can make cheaper burgers, lower salaries for everyone rather then single profession, change what they sell.

The wait staff can only decide whether they work or not.
I don't think it's specific to "the prime-enthusiast community". Most people would look at you oddly if you claimed that 3 is a five-digit number.

This is much more about low wages than it is about tipping
Technically the customers are always paying the employee's wages.

I have 3 complaints about tipping:

- It gives bad customers unfair power to dock employee's wages

- It is inconvenient and an embarrassing social interaction. I don't want to think of myself as responsible for someone's pay over lunch, I want to think of myself as eating a taco.

- It hides information from customers, because the tip is not included in the price

Hiding information is the same bullshit as Instacart saying "Same price as in the store!" before adding 50-100% of the order price in fees.

Transactions should start with the highest possible price and add discounts. Starting with a low price is a sneaky backdoor for false advertising, because it gets you to start a transaction with a less-scrupulous company that looks cheaper, and then you begrudgingly complete the transaction even though you realized it actually costs more, because now it would cost too much to switch.
9 lessons from my 10+ years working in product (2021)
What’s stupid is what you tolerate there while you say it’s the most liberal place.
Nope. When I worked tips were way preferable. A busy night could get me $50/hr just in tips. Maybe $500 in a night if I was lucky.

You could boost me to 2x minimum wage and I’d still make less.

There is a reason why the tipping system still exists.
We run our own servers. It took a lot of work but it's really making life easier now. I'm not sure we could offer a free tier like this on top of another cloud.

I dunno. This isn't a person who's throwing a tantrum because something just didn't work perfectly.

Uh, I think GNOME3 suffers from the same authoritarian minimalism design problem.
Restaurant owners do not like it. For them it means a fixed percentage of revenue has to go to the front of house. Also, it means that waitstaff will side with the customer’s interests over the restaurant’s. Consider for example a round of free drinks at a bar—increases the tip but costs the bar.

Restaurant owners that have tried to eliminate tipping find a) customers are uncomfortable and sometimes try to tip anyway and b) would be customers compare prices without taking into account the fact that tip is included.

The people I’ve talked to most inclined to support tipping culture are servers at mid to expensive restaurants and demanding foodies.
Tipping is a contentious topic.

Perhaps counterintuitively, wait staff generally prefers a tipping model over fixed pay when given the choice. Tipping is more variable, but it can pay surprisingly well, especially for staff who are good at their job. It’s rare to find a no-tip restaurant that can match the earning potential of what a good server can make with tipping. It’s theoretically possible, of course, but in practice it doesn’t seem to work out in favor of fixed pay.

The way I see it, IPv6 is somebody else’s problem.

You can’t make money with IPv6 and nobody wants it. From a customer support perspective, IPv6 is just another problem nobody needs.

We, and all the other ISPs in our market, have enough IPv4 for the foreseeable future.

NAT works where you need to conserve addresses space and those consumers that need a static IPv4 can get it, and what’s better, will pay for it.

IPv6 support on consumer devices is a dumpster fire. No way I am touching that in production.

So, no, I have no plans to deploy IPv6 to customers. I will reconsider when there’s money in it, but preferably not before various vendors have gotten their IPv6 shit together.

In other words, we the current ISPs in the market are good. Sucks to be a new ISP though.
