Some percentage of people making bad decisions doesn’t mean all people should be forced to make bad decisions. Yes, it’s a good thing that Facebook and apple allow those controls. Yes, it’s a shame more people don’t care about controlling their data. That doesn’t mean people who do care shouldn’t be able to control it.

What point are you trying to make, exactly?
"..says it’s hard to sympathize with consumers who are able to afford pricey coffee drinks but complain about tipping.." Hmm.. wat? I don't drink "pricey coffee drinks" (I'm cheap), but I think everyone can do whatever they want with their hard-earned money.

They should complain to their employer. If it doesn't work, to government as policy maker. As mentioned at the end of the article, "If you work for a company, it’s that company’s job to pay you for doing work for them"

Then you can understand the frustration with the circular logic, right?
It is unfair to lay that burden on businesses, when it should be the government’s job to operate infrastructure.

It would be trivial for the federal government to offer each individual an electronic money account that legally cannot be closed and is forever accessible to them. And as an adjacent comment wrote, the in person services infrastructure can be tacked onto USPS.

You might be right, but most of the time authorities don't do shit.

I remember a situation where a friend (SF Bay Area) managed to identify the location of his stolen bike, police didn't care and didn't do anything.

I agree that caution is necessary, but I wouldn't be expecting much from the police.

What a trip down memory lane... I only had access to the Xeen titles in my younger years, but they absolutely had a big influence on me, and I still remember them fondly.

In a way, I would almost hate to see it again- nostalgia almost certainly is kinder than reality.
> [...] a 15% labor tax, with an optional 5-10% upcharge if you're happy [...]

Ah, yes, that is in fact almost exactly my mental model for how to tip in restaurants or cafes (albeit with a conversion factor to the rate I was socialized with).

What always blindsides me is tipping in a place I (or even some locals, apparently?) don't expect it. And generally speaking, I much prefer taking social cues from local friends or other patrons than from a device.
Satisfying enough. Corporate red team at a big tech company, so I spend most days hacking first-party / internally developed software at said big tech company - usually developing exploits / PoC for novel vulnerabilities. But also sometimes longer engagements, including physical / SE at times. My favorite so far has been a long engagement where my team surreptitiously embedded ourselves into a build pipeline for a major tech product that goes out to 40m+ consumers, and added an innocuous flag to the source at build time as proof, starting from a physical break-in scenario without using our badges to enter the building.

The worst part of the job by far is drafting and editing reports. This sometimes goes on for several days.

I like it primarily because I get all the excitement of being a nation-state level adversary / threat actor / "bad guy", with none of the legal/moral/ethical risks/harms - my work ultimately contributes towards making our products (and thus our consumers) safer from such threats.
It's really tough to become obese by eating steak, even if it has a high fat content. You just can't physically stuff yourself with that much meat. Carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, are absolutely the main culprit behind the obesity epidemic.

There may be other problems with certain fats. In particular there is growing evidence that highly processed seed oils are problematic, although that hasn't been definitively proven yet.
It's an extra fee, sure, but the salient quality is that it's an optional fee, which a price increase is not.

I'm not condoning it, just clarifying what strikes me as the central point.

I’m guessing because:

Heinlein embeds too many weird sexual themes in non-trivial ways in his stories.

Culture is too difficult to convey in a movie. The relationship of the AIs to the humans in particular is too subtle to come across well, and it’s too easy to make it into a giant party with occasional inexplicable violence.
I will read the article, but for the title, it isn't the world that is bad. It is humanity. We directly cause nearly the totality of our problems.
Just let people tip if they want instead of making a moral high ground out of it
Thank you, I hadn't heard about this.
Well, it’s a consensus estimate of NPV of future profits. People can be wrong, and often are, but that’s what stock prices bet on.

But OpenAI could hit the profit cap without having a particularly high market cap.
This is very par for the course for Blizzard, sadly. They have not exactly made a name for themselves as collegiate and staff-supporting.

Personally I try to support smaller creators wherever I can. Not to say they're always perfect either, but the rate of controversy there is significantly lower, and honestly there are a lot of great games coming from the indie space.

I encourage anyone who is similarly saddened by this recent news to consider doing the same.
is there any known nasty consequences from setting that? Like things I should expect
Pretty much every place I've eaten at will do takeout. Back when I lived in SF, I ordered a $60 takeout steak dinner once or twice.

I usually still tip for these because it's tying up the kitchen for the in-restaurant diners which might slow down the service for the staff. But not the full 20%.
Those are tracked, too, and can't be obtained without strong identity.
No. SD + internal.

And "roughly at the same time" is fine. I can deal with that.

Hasn't happened like that but even if it did, even an extra day is all you need to save it
Any confirmation if keys can be reused between accounts?
I tip to-go coffee shop orders (when there are clear tipping norms, as is the case at all the coffee shops I go to). You can call the POS system an "accident of technological convenience", but it is also a prominent, clearly legible sign expressing the expectation that you're going to tip.

It is less of a big deal to stiff a coffee shop than a restaurant (you might actually get yelled at at a restaurant!) but if you talk to them when the shop is quiet they'll mutter under their breath about the regulars who don't tip.
It's bad design. In order to counteract it, I deliberately upvote anything that is grayed out.
How can you tell which are the ones?
> Today, tipped workers in the US are paid, but have a lower minimum wage than normal workers.

No, they have the same minimum wage as all workers. The employer is liable to pay the employee if tips + earnings from tipped min wage are less than earnings from non tipped minimum wage.
Completely agreed. Tipping by definition is paying for good service - what you feel they've earned. Not what they're 'owed.'
Experts Worry the Moon Could Be Next Target of China's Territorial Ambitions
If I don’t know what frozz is, is the set well defined? Maybe in form, but not in essences. Lisper’s example in sibling comment is indeed well formed, but I know that if I get a counter-example to the conjecture it will pass the population interface and become part of the set. Therefore, I don’t see how we differ comparing simple membership with population and query. My feeling is we disagree over an ex nihilo vs procedural emergence of sets.
I don’t know the glue, but ChatGPT is dramatically better at understanding context and goals, and it has that whole refinement layer for iterating on responses.

> As to why PKD became such a cinematic mainstay I can't quite tell. I would think part of it would be to do with the fact that many of his stories were less about the "lasers and spaceships" part of SciFi, and more about the moral and human aspect, meaning costs could be saved on big budget set pieces ala Star Wars.

I have always felt that they always seem to skirt the edges of plausibility much more than other sci-fi. But I think you are right, the “tech” takes a backseat to the personal story.

Unbanked people don't have bank cards.

New York City has a law preventing businesses from refusing cash because only accepting cards is discriminatory.
No. To me, this is like complaining about the social expectation that I'm going tp pay the price listed on the board for my sandwich.
How do you determine which labor there is a point to leaving a tip for and which labor there is not a point to leave a tip for?

I liked the part about:

> Each user promises only to allocate at most one memory location at a time

> A user k can call Allocate(k) in order to get a tiny pointer p

> they can dereference by computing Dereference(k,p)

So ... every user has a unique number, and there are never more elements than users, and users are required to supply their unique number to the allocate and dereference operations ...

then why not just use k as the pointer?!

Guys, please tip your AP News reporter. These people work long hours for little pay. It’s also a good idea to tip your HN moderator, and the SREs keeping HN up and running.
I believe what they're saying is - we have the capability to track every physical banknote as it leaves/enters the bank and attach it to the person who deposits/withdraws it.

There may be extra steps in between, but if you're tracking a transaction / relationship type which happens twice or more, you can expect that the person on the record is the person you're after or can point you at them.

But I don't know why they expect FBI to actually have it implemented. The system would have to be so widespread/common that we'd know if it existed. I mean, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_bill_tracking but that's for hobbyists. Otherwise banks may check for duplicate numbers... but I can't find any mention of more widespread tracking.

You said tips were akin to feudalism.

Personally I didn't agree with your redefinition, but since you go by a completely different standard than everyone else I went to your level to make you understand your absurdity.

> It is logically inconsistent and means that if wages, payments, or exchange of goods exist in any form as compensation for work, then the system is feudalism.

And no I was saying minimum wage law is doing the exactly thing you fear, which is split us apart by outlawing poor people from working if the value of their labor is less than the minimum wage amount. It creates the same bifurcated society you feared where the very poor now have their jobs outlawed and have to work in the black market and shadows already more than they already do. Minimum wage law is basically a giant "fuck you got mine" to people creating less than that value and creating a cartel where a number of poor people benefit at the expense of the even more poor through violence of the state.

I installed BackBlaze years ago for my 88-year-old mother-in-law. She has a binder besides her computer with a sheet for each account, some with 7 or 8 passwords scratched out and replaced.

I really should have her write out a few key passwords and put them in an envelope for me to keep.
There is evidence for both of these, you just choose not to accept it.

Also, Bardfinn is a particularly creepy guy who is also known for violence towards women, including his ex-wife. Is this libellous? There are police reports, you know.
It's not helpful to criticize aspects of a system which have good reasoning behind them, without understanding and presenting that reasoning in good faith, and providing a better alternative.

Endianness of formats is not a concern on modern CPUs since we have efficient mechanisms for adjusting endianness on load and store. The choice of biased 63 bit integer ensures the the same arithmetic can be performed using both a signed and unsigned 64 bit integer. The JVM comes to mind as a system without support for unsigned 64 bit integers (maybe they've fixed that by now). As mentioned the upper values are reserved for extensions, meaning the most significant bit could be set to switch to another interpretation, potentially when migrating to something more modern. So far it's unused, just evidence of good forward thinking protocol design. Additionally, big endianess allows the format to be sorted using string comparison.
...and often have expiry dates and huge service fees
Because then those engineers will no longer be out of a job, but some other people with a smaller skillset will be!
And all will be good, because we finally had a push towards real automation!
Your master password is put in a box that’s very hard to break into. But because someone might be really determined to get in, we put that box in another box that’s just as hard to break into. And because someone might be really really determined, we keep putting those boxes in new boxes so it’s really really difficult to get to the password. But sometimes we also need to get to the password, so we use enough boxes that it’s difficult for them, but not so many that it’s annoying for us.

That might be a little too much “like I’m 5”, but that’s the general idea. Hashing is easy one way but it still requires compute cycles to do each iteration. We don’t want to make it excessively expensive for us.
That breaks down when you try to think like a content creator, nowadays everyone talks about UX, I'd say the styling has at least equal weight in terms of communicating ideas. (net negative if the document is shown without it applied, really pissed artists etc)
> 2. Large jar labelled "TIPS", partially filled with money.

That's my preferred one.

> 1. Point of sale system that explicitly prompts for a tip.

Seemingly the same general idea, but also for...

Buying things, as opposed to eating/drinking? (I've seen some at what was arguably grocery stores that also had some sit-down dining, paid on the same terminal.)

Bars that already include a 20% service charge, and the prompt says 26%/28%/30% on top of the service charge? (Fortunately, I've only seen that one once, so far.)

> 3. Check to sign with a tip line.

These can be confusing at takeout places!

Only very recently, after settling on leaving a "compromise tip" between nothing and a sit-down rate (and feeling appropriately mediocre about it) at a local takeout place, I ordered with the owner for the first time – and he immediately threw away the receipt as it came out of the machine with a smile, not giving me a chance to fill the tip line. Apparently no take-out tips expected!

What’s Behind All Those Tech Layoffs? A New Economic Reality
My experience in restaurants all throughout the EU is that service is perfectly acceptable. I really intensely dislike over the top service - I want the employees to be polite and friendly but not to fawn over me - I want to feel that they're my equals in a social sense, not servile (but that doesn't mean they shouldn't respond to complaints etc.) I guess I'll have to take a trip to the US to see the difference in expectations.
France fleet is not obsolete. They can survive for another 40 year easy. Sadly the French 2nd generation pissed away all the great work the first generation did and neglected the fleet they had. They are treating the fleet lie the giving tree.

Ironically because the French were so blessed with so many reactors, they were one of the few nations that didn't use their reactors very well. The Germans were actually better at using their reactors.

The French since the 90s are just as anti-nuclear as everybody else and they have done everything to destroy the amazing fleet they have, and only now realize how incredibly fucking stupid that was. They even forced the utility to collect money from the nuclear fleet and invest in solar. And they forced the utility to sell of nuclear base load at bargain bin prices and then force them to buy that power back at high prices.

And its amazing how anti-nuclear people can look down on France when literally every day they produce green cheap energy for all their people. And they have been saving CO2 for 40+ years, and that is worth more then any CO2 we are saving now.

Almost every other country should envy the French position.
Identify chemicals with radio frequencies – Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance
I believe their point is that if you don't provide any piece of information, the consumer of it would just assume the worst. Or, they would average it out, so that the burden of not being accurate would affect the people that do provide it.
I feel pure joy when I see HtDP mentioned anywhere on HN. This book made programming click for me. Turned me from fidling with code to thinking it through in a systematic way.

I hope the authors extend this someday to imperative programming too and compare and contrast.
The effect is also stronger, lasts longer, and is less addictive than coffee. The average user isn't smoking a joint per hour like it was tobacco. Sure, it's definitely not healthy, but everyone does something that trades longevity for fun. :-)
That’s very true, and I wouldn’t claim it could be 100% effective. Even East Germany had rock albums smuggled in.
I'm not sure if they're taking a moral high ground exactly, but I do appreciate a business taking a stand against tipping. It's bad for everyone in the end - I'd love it if it died soon.
Do you have any more information on this issue, what you mean, and the topic? I think I'm getting this but want to read more to understand.

Are you saying modern Operating systems are inherently insecure in what is allowed to use those spaces? You mentioned the dollar analogy. Someone else mentioned Androids storage access service.

I'm understanding it like this. Youre saying systems of access control within the kernel space are a known and used resource, but practices like this are ignored in the infosec world. Am I getting it?

I read HN partially to learn about cybersecurity is why I ask.

I think some of it is simply that PKD was prolific, and created a lot of ideas pretty quickly.

There are other huge authors in sci fi but I feel like a great many of them stuck to a single universe or at least thematically kind of stuck around in similar areas, whereas PKD created just a truly insane amount of ideas.

Even Do Android Dream of Electric Sheep is almost like 3 sci fi novels in one and its not even that long.
It's not really circular logic to me (and I don't like tips):

Me not liking something does not make it acceptable to express my displeasure about it at the (literal financial) expense of service staff that is providing the same service to me as they are to other, non-tip-averse patrons.

> On the contrary, the actual rules and methodologies for credit score calculations are not documented anywhere public.

The exact formulas might not be, but the general factors aren't exactly a secret. Hell, the "free credit score" service my bank offers even provides a simulator tool to estimate what would happen to my credit score if I did certain things (eg. get a car loan, or pay off an existing loan).
As I understand it, the OTP factor only protects the login. While this is still good practice, it wouldn't help in the event the vaults are stolen.
Or maybe just politely answering one of his posts. I read it somewhere that during 80s police advised women in SF to act like they enjoy being raped. That it was best way to get the offender turned off and stop.

Most likely saying "thank you for your comment" to this guy and eventually telling him "I am not interested sorry", would lost his interest. The story also stinks frankly. It starts off with my sister got some writing on her dirty car so she wasn't thinking anything and just wash them off. Next thing we see are the photos of that writing.. OR she wrote it herself for the story-telling?? highly doubtful. Then the guy is a dude and has crash on girl even tho the writing supposed to offend her because she's lesbian..? that's even harder to believe.

There has been so many fake stories coming out online these days just to catch few clicks that you cannot trust anything anymore.
On a morbid note, they made so many Purple Hearts for the planned invasion of Japan in 1945 that they haven’t needed to make more since.
A lot of movies I want to see aren't on any streaming platform, plus the quality is pretty damn poor on a larger screen. Compression artifacts and color banding are just too damn annoying in a lot of shows or movies, especially ones with a lot of dark scenes.

I also still buy CD's for many reasons, but the main one is that more often than not, most streaming services offer only modern remasters that are loud as hell and have no dynamic range whatsoever. Yes, there are some remasters that are loads better than 80s CD's, but often not, especially if they're from the 00s during the iPod era.
