What? I have not heard of a babysitter agree to babysit without also agreeing on a price beforehand. Where does this happen?

I definitely would not trust my kids with someone willing to accept that deal.
I understand what you're saying, I just think it's mainly a contrived scenario. Minute differences in the score (573 vs 605) don't really impact you and there's nobody trying to replicate the calculation to make sure they get whatever it's "supposed to be" - whatever that means.

The more likely scenario where someone is going to troubleshoot is "I paid off all my debts and have a lot of unused credit, how come my score is too low for mortgage lenders to talk to me" - and likely a gross mismatch like that is going to be obvious.

They give you a pretty meaningful guide on what to look for in determining your score [0] that should be enough.

Note, I am not arguing that I think it's good the exact formula is not known, I just think it's not a real problem for either the lenders (who are the ones who actually base their business on this data) or the consumer.

That’s awesome! This is what I like to call internet art, and it reminds me of the vibe of the old internet, the way it used to be before social media like Facebook etc became a thing.

Kudos to the author!

I recently tried to do something similar on my own website. In terms of bringing back fun and exploration I mean.

My own website has very little content as of yet though.

The most relevant part of my website here is a directory listing of text files that I have. But it only has a couple of files in it yet. One of which is a json file actually because I allowed myself to compromise a little on what is acceptable as “text”.

I might compromise a bit more soon, in order to make the viewing experience for that section of my site more enjoyable on mobile devices. After all, the goal is not specifically for me to restrict myself technologically to the web as it was, but more so to be about like I said, a general vibe of fun and exploration.

I want my site to be something someone can run across randomly, be intrigued by, and find themselves exploring for some time. And preferably that I will make enough content that visitors will come back the next day or the next week to explore a bit more.
There’s handheld machines now at American restaurants which have a very bold tip screen. At the one I see it at, the waiter (who usually only took our order, didn’t even fill drinks, bring food, etc) holds it towards me and says “tip?” instead of the common “it’ll ask you a few questions”. Maybe it’s a clover POS system?
To be fair, I haven't flown since 2019, but the armrests still had ash trays. But yeah, new airplanes won't. Wild about the lavatories though.
Well with today's resolutions, we probably need to pick a higher resolution. We could upscale by 150% (132*47)
FIDO passkeys are supposed to deal with the fiction and provisioning issues you highlight with current fido keys in consumer applications. In enterprise, the status quo is a little more acceptable because generally you have one or a pair of physical keys provisioned to your profile in an IdP that you use across all your apps, and you have a known support structure if your key and backup get lost or fail.

In the consumer realm one has to deal with a gajillion different identity authorities so replacing keys or doing recovery because you lost one is a giant pain in the ass. Supposedly passkeys is targeted at that problem.

Why would you assume that? When I worked as a housekeeper, few left tips. And I do not see why they would need to.
I haven't had to enter my Apple ID password to install an app since I setup my phone. Just Face ID verification. Maybe you have this setting toggled? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204030

Or maybe Apple is just deciding to require it from you for mysterious reasons. Your IP could have a bad reputation and they're not sure if it's you. Though I think they sometimes they require the password just to keep you from forgetting it.
That's not "the same minimum wage as all workers", that's an entirely different payment system--one that the person above was trying to describe.
It's a flawed system now that people most often use downvotes as disagrees. In the process of disagreeing you are also suppressing alternative opinions and information. It's the modern day version of shooting the messenger. Slashdot figured this out in the 90s. If you're going to ask people to rank stuff you need to give them a handful of basic categories to choose from (inaccurate, misleading, redundant, etc) instead of a good vs bad binary selection.
I prefer the POS to the tip jar, because I tend not to carry cash.

If you're paying a service charge, you're not expected to tip. (I know, this is annoying; the most annoying thing here though is the service charge).
>
France is better known for high taxes than for low energy prices... Maybe there is a connection.

No there isn't actually. The French pay high taxes because of their social services.

If you actually inform yourself you would know that the cost of the nuclear fleet went on the books of the utility, not the French state and has been paid down by the utility for 40+ years now DESPITE the very low energy prices.

> Germany would today be in a much worse position if they had spent what they did on renewables on upgrading their ramshackle old nuke contraptions instead.

Germany was actually one of the best operates of nuclear power. Their reactor had amazing uptime.

> France, notably, imported power through summer.

And the reason is that the Anti-nuclear idiots who were in power in the French state for the last 30 years took cheap green energy for granted and instead of doing the needed maintenance, they forced the utility to invest in solar and support fossil fuel (yes really).

And in fact in 2015 the French state literally basically forced threw a law to turn off large parts of the nuclear fleet in 2025. This lead to even more maintenance not being done.

This is a case of the French state shooting itself in the foot and taking for granted what their fathers gave to them and them treating the fleet like shit and just believing the magical pixies of renewables would reliably produce 10s of GW of power for them within a few years.

Germany is literally spending up to a 500 billion $ on a plan to mitigate all the issues with their energy policy, for that they could literally have built a nuclear fleet 2x the size they needed to be 100% green on nuclear.
True. Needlessly expending energy on an idea without having a clear idea of the value is not good.
Think a lot of people on this thread are making the mistake of confusing attribution and blame. If you tie a worker's hands behind their back, you will have low worker productivity. A spade is a spade. Asking why workers have low productivity is an entirely different question. People seem Primed to assume that anyone saying workers are unproductive means that they're lazy. This is obviously not the case. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together should know that low worker productivity is not a root cause itself. I don't think that the article claims this at all.

Furthermore, if it is the case of bad management or is some in this thread claim bad regulation, you can't determine that without first demonstrating a decrease in worker productivity. Bad management is bad because it causes lower worker productivity.
To be fair, they still published papers casually and published a ton of useful OOS recently. Whisper, Tiktoken, Point-E, you named it.
> “When team leads asked why we had to do this, World of Warcraft directors explained that while they did not agree, the reasons given by executive leadership were that it was important to squeeze the bottom-most performers as a way to make sure everybody continues to grow,” Birmingham wrote in the email, which was reviewed by Bloomberg. “This sort of policy encourages competition between employees, sabotage of one another’s work, a desire for people to find low-performing teams that they can be the best-performing worker on, and ultimately erodes trust and destroys creativity.”

Indeed, these stack ranking schemes need a Freakonomics or Moneyball style critical analysis applied to them, they’re likely at least as harmful as helpful.
Sure you could. You could have an app that picks up the call, records the response and then syncs to your desktop. But it's just not worth the effort.
> I don't think I've seen anyone pay with cash in years. Even the old people at the grocery store use chip-and-PIN cards.

I'm not sure where you live. I work in a fast-food place on a college campus. While the students generally use their meal-plans to buy food, the moment we have a "parents' weekend" or similar event, we do a lot of cash.

It is generally poorer people (who don't have access to banks) who have to use cash (or resort to alternative banking systems that charge exorbitant fees).
>> They estimate he saved the company hundreds of millions of dollars... tens of thousands of servers he decommissioned

Sounds a little far-fetched. Slack, Airbnb and Netflix spend about 6M, 17M and 28M on AWS monthly; to SAVE "hundreds of millions" the company would need to be ridiculously large and inefficient.
Give them a 10% tip. Write why. It will make them think.
I am not defending him because it starts like this and sometimes ends horribly bad... but what did he really do? other than wrote something on dirt (didn't even destroy her paint) and broke an egg on her car? In 80s I remember it was a normal thing to take few dozen of eggs to any street manifest and throw them at cops, other groups, etc. Insane how soy late snowflake weak people became these days.
As a point of reference, Ross tips $20 on $200 in a nice restaurant, after Rachel’s dad tips “like 4%” in a season 3 episode of Friends:

So we can say that 15% was more than generous in 1996 according to the NY/LA TV writer set.

In the supercapitalist future, all transactions will require the approval of more than the two involved parties

What's preventing a "communist hellhole" from implementing something similar? Is it something about state ownership of capital that prevents a third party from interfering in two consenting parties from engaging in transactions? Actually, now that I think about it, aren't communist regimes pretty famous for shutting down markets? Isn't that a variant of "all transactions will require the approval of more than the two involved parties"?

I personally never use anything but cards since I have many of the high reward credit cards. But I've also had family members with tax liens or other problems that didn't allow them to get a bank account, that relied on family to pay bills, order things online for them, etc.
Save your money so that you can live between jobs if you get laid off. I typically have at least 3 months in savings. Some of these things might sound obvious, but maybe not if you look around at how other people act at work. Concentrate on doing the best job you can - though not from your perspective, but (this is key) from what matters to your boss. Based on that, dig into the technology you use to do your job and learn everything you possibly can. Don't compare yourself to other people on the team, but make yourself better and faster than you were the day before. Get your work done as quickly and with the best quality you can. Work extra hours and study at home. These things will make you more valuable to your company and make their decision to let you go harder. If you are let go, all of the study and practice you've done to make yourself better, with hands-on work experience will prepare you for an interview with another company.
I remember working at a job where Cucumber was introduced to make test writing easier for the testers (the testers were all non-technical and non-programmers).
The reality was that programmers ended up writing the tests because the testers didn't know how to implement step definitions and the functionality was too complicated and varied to allow much reuse of existing step definitions.

Or even worse, be publicly outed by a waiter online because they didn't agree with the tipped amount (retrieving your full name from the CC receipt). Happens.

It's difficult to explain the cause. You can't really account for it by a simple tipping/no tipping divide. In other countries that don't do tipping, you'll end up wishing they did because the service is so abysmal. You can't get decent service or expect a good waiter or waitress, because nobody is motivated to do the job well.
Yep! I’m writing Ruby/Rails code (which feeds my soul), I get opportunity to play/flex/perfect in doing that, it’s for a good mission (teen mental health) and the team is great (particularly my manager, we have absurdly amazing communication).

Not to excuse the behavior in that bug, but the situation is very different for Firefox than for BitWarden - as the blog post notes, 1000 iterations is only used for the key as it is in-flight via https to Mozilla's production servers, not when it is at rest. An attacker getting access to any encrypted databases would need to deal with scrypt, not these 1000 PBKDF2 iterations.

The surreal and dreamlike plot summary reminds me of this strange black and white indie sci fi movie / musical from 2001 (or 2005?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_American_Astronaut

A throwback to vintage serials, shot as time and budget allowed over years. I pre ordered a copy of the DVD and waited a few years for it to arrive so I guess it was like a crowd funding thing long before that was easy to do.

"His mission begins with the unlikely delivery of a cat to a small outer-belt asteroid saloon where he meets his former dance partner, and renowned interplanetary fruit thief, the Blueberry Pirate. As payment for his delivery of the cat, Curtis receives a homemade cloning device already in the process of creating a creature most rare in this space quadrant – a Real Live Girl."

Oh, there's a copy hiding out on YouTube. I don't feel so bad posting this link because it's long out of print, I actually own a copy that I bought from the original artist, and it's just... pretty amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COxhvqWWxSU

After the opening credits, there's just 2 minutes of the protagonist shaving that I forgot about. But then he jumps out of his ship to bring the cat to the asteroid/saloon. I'll just link that moment because it's the moment I fell in love with this movie.

I honestly don't know, but do you think the $200/plate restaurant spreads your tips among more people? I would imagine their ratio of tipped workers to patrons would be higher than most restaurants.
Getting Old
I tried getting into HoMM3 but wasn't able to. Can anyone recommend a tutorial or anything?
Agreed. I remember the days of 10% being standard.

It's the stripe/square payment machines that started offering 18%, 20%, or other.
I like tipping (high almost regardless of service quality, as long as it's not aggressively bad) to support the workers specifically. I think service workers/low-level contractor crew workers/etc. have one of the highest "people who I admire" x "people who don't get enough money" scores. So it's a small wealth transfer - like taxes, but instead of being completely wasted or given to whoever, the best people get it. Sure you could also try to change the "unfair" world. Or you could just give people money :P
Why should anyone care? Let them tough it out.
With all the confusion though, at least we're fortunate there aren't too many long lived "fake" secure systems out there. The IT community seems to love to expose flaws and scams very publicly, very fast. All in all I think we've made good progress in the last decade. Things can always be easier, but to some point it does become the burden of the user to understand security.
I found a somewhat solution to the latter problem. If you have an Apple One Family Plan, and an empty slot, you can just create a legacy user with a new Apple ID and add it as a family member. This account will inherit all the purchases and subscriptions, but it can have a different security policy.
Disposable gift cards are widely available in the US that will run as debit/credit without any need for identity verification. They are disposable, though, and as the other comment mentions aren't very economical (~1% outright in fees if you buy in $500 increments).
Tip size probably correlates with price insensitivity, but since it's completely voluntary, it also correlates with prosociality: prosocial people are paying to subsidize antisocial people.
Maybe overly pedantic to expand on this, but since we’re in an ELI5 context: the attack vector is brute forcing hash collisions. Making it computationally slow for attackers is a hindrance because the relative value of a collision diminishes over time (depending on the value of their target).
First off, wikipedia has biased opinions posing as facts

Second, read the link I posted. Under a simple consumption tax, those at the lower end would pay more as a percentage of income. However, a system can be designed to alleviate this, much like earned income tax credits.

Think beyond the shallow talking points. Not even mentioned is the impact on the accounting industry, which currently has a labor shortage. Our current tax system is overly complicated and has perverse incentives. We should be considering many alternatives instead of writing them off based on shallow thinking
They did not set the terms.

There is no clear disclosure that you will need to pay more than the listed prices to get your food as you should.

Also, if you go to a counter service business, and the point of sale system asks you to tip, again, the terms were not set prior to engaging in the transaction.

In another comment, you write:

> You're going to have bad relationships (and experiences) with American restaurants if you make a habit of undertipping.

I classify this as the restaurant (and waiter) violating the terms. You do not get to claim your prices are low and then spring and increase on people, even if it is a “cultural” norm.
On a recent Disney cruise, I was greeted at the end of my trip with a "receipt" under the door for over $250 in mandatory tips for our 5 night cruise. Even the "head server" (who only did so much as greeted us at the table each night) got $80 of that. Such BS.
He may have invented a neuroscience breakthrough but gets little recognition
I pride myself on being a big tipper in restaurants with table service, but when the point-of-sale prompts me for a 25% tip on a counter-service transaction before I have even been served I balk. Why should I pay so much extra for service when all they did was hand me my food/coffee/whatever? I recently got into a big argument with my wife over whether and how much we should have tipped a "valet" who didn't fetch the car and just handed me my keys.
Where do you live? In SF, last time I tried to get the cops to come out of their desk (to arrest a bike thief who was selling my stolen bike literally 3 blocks away from the station), they told me that they couldn't do it. One of the excuses they used was that it was too far: if I could get the thief to enter the police station then they would help me.
>Is it possible that you can have a department of 300 people where you can't find 12 people who are below-average performers? Yes. Is it likely? No.

I mean, below average performers will be around 40-60% just because how averages work.

The problem is that the question is "is their performance low compared to team", while the question you should be answering is "is their performance low compared to the market.

If team's management is on point with hiring the "worst" won't be that much worse than average anyway, so if you want to replace the bottom few % you essentially waste time as new hires might be at same productivity level.

On other side if you recruiting sucks and 20% of the dept does the 80% of the job, it isn't going to help either.
Oh, I do tip at the POS almost exclusively!

Still, a physical tip jar tells me "a person actually working here put this here intentionally", while a POS sometimes (probably irrationally) makes me wonder if these were just the defaults Square or competition shipped the thing with, an A/B test on proposed amounts run by a faceless corporate board etc.
NYC can’t, for better or worse, dictate federal policy. Given the limited scope of its authority, requiring businesses to take the currently available form of universal currency seems not unreasonable.
I remember almost buying a Google Glass. But it seemed too early, and not useful enough. Hopefully this is different, but I truly have a hard time wanting to part with this much money for something that feels like it will likely collect dust in a few years- or worse yet in Apple fashion, ask that I buy another generation for yet more for continued support if it does work out

> It partially decarbonized its electricity, this is well under half of the goal.

Literally no country uses renwales to produce transport fuel.

France decarbonized electricity and has a very high rate of electricity heating in homes. So they are ahead there to and they did that on the back of the nuclear fleet.

> Numerous countries have achieved more with wind and hydro

And even more country have achieved more with hydro and nuclear, such as Sweden or Switzerland.
I'm not familiar with FIPS. Is this NIST document part of requirements outlined in the FIPS publication? Which according to 20 seconds on Google, appear to be numbered 140, 180, 186, 197, 198, 199, 200, 201, and 202.
Look at the UK. Tipping has gotten weird in the last decade but the service culture is just missing. The service industry is what you do in high school or college because it’s the first cost that the food service industry wants to optimize. Consumers don’t expect or demand good service, so we don’t get it.
