Maybe it's just that we're not especially excited to see the re-privatization of a model that was only made public about a week ago, wrapped up and packaged to take out a whole industry.

OTOH maybe it's just that aside from the dubious morality of the project, this guy doesn't deserve any acclaim for what he's done.

It wasn't meant to be a convincing argument.

It was meant to show your comment at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32741165 wasn't a relevant parallel, because it ignored how "a+=1" and "a=a+1" are different.

For a more convincing use, consider NumPy arrays, where a+=1 re-use the same (potentially very large) array, while a=a+1 creates a new array.

import numpy
a = b = numpy.array([[1,2], [3, 9]])
a += 1 # modify in-place
a = a + 1 # create a new array

>>> a
array([[ 3, 4],
[ 5, 11]])

>>> b
array([[ 2, 3],
[ 4, 10]])

In-place modification can improve performance over using intermediate/temporary arrays.
Nope, the message as you see in the above.
If you think about it, humanity goes into the direction of spending considerable effort not to hurt innocent people.

But the companies found dealing with exceptions is costly and decided to optimise themselves by not dealing with exceptions at all.

This is like our governments saying we are paying too much for judicial system and prisons and so from now on we will allow lynchings and anybody caught doing anything wrong is going to be shot.

> you must be joking

> That is disrespectful. I've found though that a lot of people don't realize they are being inflammatory when they use inflammatory language.

Sorry, but how is telling someone they're joking being disrespectful? It's an honest question. These lawyering mental gymnastics to try to nitpick my comments and turn them against me are just unbelievable.

> This part for sure (and yes, I did read the comment thread).

> Source, your ass?

I meant that in a humorous way, not in a hurtful way, that the parent was making stuff up. Didn't mean to insult him. Don't people have a sense of humor anymore? If commenters make stuff up and don't post sources, shouldn't that be pointed out somehow so others also know the truth?

That's why I said these things can be subjective if taken out if context and read on their own.
>>Unless of course you think people who are bad servers don't deserve to make minimum wage.

I think that it shouldn't be the customers responsibility to even know what the server is making, and logically it shouldn't be their responsibility to make sure they are paid X or Y. You come in, order food, pay for the food, leave. The business owner should be responsible to keep their employees compensated well enough that they don't want to leave.

But like I said in another comment - the situation in US is a result of literally decades of social conditioning, where the population has been told by business owners that it's their(customers) responsibility to make sure that service workers are compensated well enough to not be in poverty, and it's your personal responsibility to tip or the person will starve.

It's gotten to the point where people make this argument in absolute earnest, and truly believe what they say, like it's the most obvious thing in the world. It really is a marvel of social engineering, and a boon for American businesses I'm sure.

>>because even though things didnt meet your expectations doesn't mean you should take advantage of the fact that the state makes it legal to pay servers only $2 an hour

That actually furthers my point above - the side taking advantage of $2 minimum wage is the employer, not the customer.

I'm getting tempted. I said that if Apple brought out a G-Shock style Apple watch, I'd buy it instantly.

I've had an Apple Watch SE for the last couple of years. It's been pretty good on the whole. Bought it after my Garmin Forerunner nearly failed to get a GPS lock in time when I was in a start pen for a half marathon (AFAIK the Fenix gets a lock far quicker).
Ironically, it's because companies pay their engineers so well that this happens. This is because the well paid engineers really do not want to do customer support at all. They want to build shiny stuff, stuff that generates profit, not work in the cost centre.

Indeed, the tech industry has a term for taking care of highly paid engineers: HumanOps. HumanOps views the mental health of engineers as very important. Cost centre work is below smart people, and customer service is not valued in the slightest by well paid employees.

Additionally, these large companies continue to generate huge profits. These reports as in the OP are viewed by them internally not even as bugs to be fixed, as low in volume compared to the vast amounts they take in, they are viewed as a kind of random, natural occurrence and one that simply happens and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

So we have a situation where people can get banned instantly and where the company will put more effort into not fixing it. $ and tech is being used to not fix it.

As an American, I would not have tipped in that situation. I wouldn't have even considered it. I don't think that's far out of the norm for a situation involving extremely poor service and abusive behavior. I could be wrong but I don't think "Americanism" is the explanation for what happened here, though I agree that our approach to tipping is a bit bonkers overall.

Oh no, in SF, tenants get automatic lease extensions month-to-month at the original rate (adjusted downward for free weeks etc.) with annual increases capped at 7% (by the state). I've never sign a lease past the initial one. So if they were doing poorly, and this let them go to a bootcamp or whatever, they'd likely just want to stay and I can't do anything about that.
I cycled the UK coast to coast with friends. We did a peleton on a boring straight cycle track that went on for many miles. We managed to do 20mph for a couple of hours with each of us taking a turn at the front for 5 minutes a time.

I've also done track cycling where you leave a 30cm gap between wheels and have no brakes. That is truly unnerving.

It's really unfortunate that this simple principle can't work in real life, just because people's idea of "what is worse" are so different. One has only to look at the very different outlooks people have politically to know the answers to the question "Will this make the world worse?" are going to be wildly different, and some of them downright nonsensical to most people.

If I understand the article, combined with my paltry understanding of the law, the argument is the shower should be treated as a point source, which is covered under certain existing legislation.

Bathing is not a point source, so is covered by different legislation.

Point-sources can have higher concentrations in a small area, like the sand near the showers. These need to be addressed even if the non-point sources are also an issue.

Note that corporations are not people, they are governments. the larger government licenses out a sub government that allows the smaller group to preform actions only allowed by governments.

I like this term ‘volumetric intensity’. I don’t know how common the term is, (some cursory googling just turned up one fusion paper from the 1990’s)) but it would make appreciating Gauss’s Law in E+M much easier from the outset than the typical surface integral calculus typically used to introduce the subject.
I doubt they would provide you with any internal communications they have on you. After all, they can just claim they no longer hold any info except what they already told you (that you are banned) and you have pretty much no recourse.
really surprised by that news. I had the feeling that beside large tech companies trimming down developers after unreasonnable hiring spree, the demand was still strong...

I only booked via AirBnB once, but I am quite convinced now that this will be the only time. I don't want to rely on a system that can just do what they want without transparency.

Reality is that a platform like AirBnB should care about both sides - sellers and buyers. Sure, sellers generate the revenue, but without buyers nothing is sold and the platform is not interesting.

You can certainly download a GPX route from services like Alltrails to the Garmin Fenix 7 for purely offline routing—that's one of the watch's strongest features.

Additionally, you can do simple ad-hoc routing on the watch itself, while you're out on the trail, also totally offline.

For more complex ad-hoc routing, it can be easier to design a route on the Garmin Explore app on your phone and then sync it to your watch via Bluetooth. This works (also totally offline), but the problem is that Garmin Explore's UI and trail labeling kind of sucks, at least on iOS.

My preferred approach, if I'm out on a hike and want to set a new route to someplace, is to draw routes on Gaia GPS (which also has offline maps), then sync them to my Fenix 7 over Bluetooth for navigation. I wrote a Pythonista script to make this work well on iOS: https://github.com/mshroyer/pythonista-scripts/tree/master/G...

I'd be inclined to agree, if the the tips didn't factor into the minimum wage calculation - so that in the medium-term, higher average tips ddidn't just lead to lower pay from the employer.

Of course this is coming from an European, so the whole tipping culture is foreign to me.
This is very similar to an Einstein quote:

"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...

I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind, without the occupation with the objective world, the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors, life would have seemed empty to me. The trite objects of human efforts -- possessions, outward success, luxury -- have always seemed to me contemptible.

My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a 'lone traveler' and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude."

-- Albert Einstein

In the CRLite paper [1] the bandwidth cost was estimated to be ~600 KB per day. Most crucially they do not directly store certificates but only boolean flags for hashes of virtually all once-valid certificates in existence. This is made possible because of Certificate Transparency; once the signature has been verified there can be only so many hashes to check.

Often Kafakaesque is used as hyperbole, but this description is pretty apt:

"What's Kafkaesque ... is when you enter a surreal world in which all your control patterns, all your plans, the whole way in which you have configured your own behavior, begins to fall to pieces, when you find yourself against a force that does not lend itself to the way you perceive the world."

It still is. It's just bundled with the hardware, and always has been. What changed is that upgrades used to cost money, and now don't. You know it's an upgrade because you aren't allowed to install it on anything that didn't ship with MacOS X out of the factory.
>If your plumber comes over and messes up the installation completely so you have water leaking every time you use a shower, do you still pay them full price for the service? After all maybe they just had a bad day, and that shouldn't condemn them to poverty?

This is a wrong analogy. If the plumber came in pissed off and was swearing all the time but got the job done then yes I would pay. Would probably not call him again if I was that bothered.

If I got served uncooked food I would not pay, but if the waiter was rude and I had to wait long I'll still tip them - less then I would otherwise.

And context is a lot here as well - if I see the place is packed and there's like two people doing a shift I can understand they are stressed out and I'm waiting longer cause it's super busy.

Am European and honestly feel like tipping vs not tipping says more about you than it does about the service. When I see someone penny counting at the restaurant it usually makes me think less about them. I don't like socialising with miserly people (if I think you have the money to cover it, naturally). Depends on the setting too, if it's just grabbing lunch at the cafeteria then I just pay by card and usually don't tip, but when it's a social thing then yeah - it's a luxury thing you do and share with others.
Thank you! Just clever prompt building. Took many, many hours, but finally find the right fit.

> I was like.....but surely.....the whole idea of a tip is to reward good service, right? If the service was bad, then why would you tip?

Unfortunately, minimum wage laws in the US have exemptions for workers who are expected to make most of their money through tips, which means that most restaurants pay them well under the "minimum". The question I'd ask in this situation isn't whether the service was good, but whether it was so bad that I think the employees involved don't deserve to even get paid minimum wage. I've yet to ever come to the conclusion that no tip is deserved, and in practice I struggle to think of any circumstance in which the service could be bad enough to deserve that. I guess if I was actually physically harmed due to malicious intent or something then it would maybe warrant that, but I don't think I'd realistically stick around to even eat in that case.

Ok, I can’t find a good reference for this but… England underwent a fad in Georgian times for applying French language rules to English. I say “fad” but some of these differences are still present today, e.g the pronunciation of “futile” and “fertile”.

And this applies to “h”. For pretty much the whole of the Victorian period “an hallucinated” was considered correct. I know people who still consider it correct, modern style guides be damned.

Eliot, ever the English traditionalist cosplayer, would have treated h as a vowel for these purposes.
