Yeah I did food delivery and a sizeable amount didn't tip at all. It also created huge problems picking up food because many of the places people ordered from were full service restaurants, and the workers would purposefully go slow as fuck because they knew they would get no tip as most the food delivery companies don't provision for a tip to the restaraunt people preparing the food for the food delivery guy. A few times I had to take a loss on orders to tip the restaurant I was picking the food up from just to get them to release the food.

The food delivery guy is basically seen like the UPS worker. All around I decided it was a fucked business model and quit pretty quickly.
I loved TripTiks! And yes, I too was the family navigator as a kid, whether with a TripTik or an ordinary road map.

My other claim to fame was that I was the only one in the family - maybe in the entire neighborhood - who could fold a paper map so everything fell into place and it looked like new.

All the adults would just force the map to fold along whichever creases they felt like folding. I let the map "fold itself" with the map deciding where it wanted to be folded, and me just executing the map's wishes.

Specifically, first I would find the one crease that ran all the way across the map in the same direction - it was a "valley" or a "tent" all the way across, depending on which side you were looking at.

Then I'd find the next crease that was the same across the now-folded map. And the next one, and so on.

Adults didn't know this trick. They would fold along the creases, but they didn't take the time to let the map teach them which crease to fold first.

This is kind of like something I learned recently when I rescued a stray kitten from the street: You don't find a cat, the cat finds you.

Back to TripTiks, I bought one on eBay a few months ago, and it turned out to be an awesome road trip a southern California family took in the late 1960s.

First is the "front matter", with pages on:

Using your TripTik
Strip Map Legend
About Accommodations
In Case Of Accident
Western Radio Stations
The SPEED that's set is your best bet
Trip Planning
Expenses
Entering Canada and Returning to the United States
A Summary of Safety Responsibility Laws in Canada

Now we start the trip from Temple City, near Pasadena. Many of the pages were 2-3 page foldouts. I will use the original state abbreviations instead of our modern two-letter ones.

Temple City to I-10 East
I-10 to I-15 through San Bernardino
San Bernardino to Las Vegas
Local map of Las Vegas
Las Vegas to Beaver, Utah
Beaver to Salt Lake City
Local map of Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City to Logan, turning onto US 89 East
Logan to Alpine, Wyo.
Alpine to Yellowstone National Park
Local map of Yellowstone
Yellowstone to Gillette, Wyo.
Gillette to Deadwood, S. Dak.
An optional loop all around the Black Hills Region
A TripTik Supplement for US 85/14/94 where they didn't have the map
Belfield, N. Dak. to Bismarck, N. Dak.
Bismarck to Fargo and on to US 81
Fargo to Winnipeg, Man.
Winnipeg to Kenora, Ont.
Kenora to Port Arthur on the Thunder Bay
Port Arthur to Nipigon, Ont.
Nipigon to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Sault Ste. Marie to North Bay, Ont.
Another missing-map supplement for North Bay to Ottawa, Ont.
And finally a local map of Ottawa, their destination

Every one of these TripTik pages has a description of the towns and cities along the way, with hotel, motel, restaurant, and service station listings.

Thanks for mentioning TripTiks. It was fun for me to go through this road trip in my mind and on paper just now.
The tipping system causes harm.
Sure, but banking, ride hailing, car/scooter rental apps all use it.
I very rarely visit places where I have to tip so my sanity is kept in check. The whole idea of tipping however ruffles my feathers. Just give me price and fuck off. I did not come to the place to think how much should I tip and feel guilty if I do not want to tip for shitty service / food.

I do give generously to homeless though.

attribute :my_time_at, :datetime, default: -> { Time.now }
attribute :persisted, :boolean, default: false

What I like about the types is that it will automatically coerce the messy user data automatically (this is what AR is doing under the hood anyway right?), you can just be more intentional about it.

What does a "decent welfare state" mean? Have you seen the amount of people that are jobless in the US right now even though there's a plethora of jobs available? The US must have a pretty heavy welfare state for that to continue.

Additionally, I assume you believe decent welfare state = a handful of 1st world western European nations and maybe Australia/NZ? You may want to check the average salaries of these locations. Higher welfare states come with a lot of cons... it's not all rainbows and daisies.

A safety net should be just that.... a safety net. Otherwise, you risk LA Skid Row type ramifications or feces/meth needle ridden streets in SF where essentially no one is benefiting.

Economically, exactly how does your plan work?

Jeez, mate, there are better ways .. put in some lavender (or other scented prolifically growing dense foliage plant), divert some grey water (kitchen sink, bath, etc) to drain through that .. and vent through the bush.

Or undocumented, or a member of another group for whom interactions with the police are potentially dangerous.

Or for that matter, what if you are "a nutter?" People with mental illness also get stalked, and also deserve protection. Going in person to the police station is unwise for so so many reasons for so many people.

If this approach works for you then cool, for you. It's not going to work for most of us.

In sales there’s a concept where you don’t just sell against competitors, you sell against doing nothing.

What’s the convincing reason for Disney to not simply do nothing? Sell me on Disney digitizing and releasing old cartoons with the salary of at least one person versus doing absolutely nothing.

You also have to sell me on that employee working on the Donald Duck smoking cigars and speaking in a Mid-Atlantic accent archive project versus working on something else. Why is that employee not instead working on The Avengers Versus Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Hulk We Groot Again!”

That's my point: as the price declines, so too does the amount you pay in tips.

Economists would probably love this, but I don't think consumers would.
Not sure how to do that when business can just decide not to pay fair wages and rely on strangers to supplement employee's income through tipping.
I don't know much about the different compression formats but they all seem to store some amount of file metadata (timestamps, permissions etc). Maybe some formats store them as part of the compressed data which would result in data loss if files were deduplicated. There are ways around that of course but maybe the .rar format doesn't lend itself well to that.
> Where's the class politics among "tech liberation" proponents?

Nowhere, it's in the critic. (doesn't make much sense to me, either i'm misreading you or you are) To make it clear "tech liberation" here is the editorialized version of the so-called "californian ideology", which has been coined and attacked by OP, by saying among other things, that it is completely blind of any class-based vision of politics.

> And "tech" as a whole has only become more and more accessible over time to those who used to be broadly marginalized for economic or social reasons. Were computers in the socialist bloc really less inherently "classist" than in the West?

Ooh now i'm understanding your misunderstanding! You seem to have understood "class politics" as defamatory and that's why you thought i applied it to the thing being criticized. It's the opposite: any politic which is not based on class (ie by definition, the only (and all) materialistic criterion relevant socially) is imho based on bogus concepts. Now as is obvious from all my vocabulary the class i'm defending politically isn't the class of owners, but that's another thread. I would be happy already if people doing owner-class politics would publicly acknowledge doing so.

edit: If your not doing class-based politics what are you doing then? Religion-based? Racist? I'm not completely dismissing identity politics insofar that there is sense in fighting for specific rights in some circumstances, but my point is that identity is nowhere near being a working tool for general politics.
Helpful article and cool feature! Thanks for sharing
I started tipping for a while, and I think I will stop unless I am being served sitting down.

I see no benefit from the tipping, and the staff are not thankful nor do they seem to notice. and in most cases they do not do anything at all to benefit the tips..
In australia we have no tipping culture and I've always been very against it, but I've found if I don't tip the quality of delivery driver is just abysmal, but if I do tip, I get "regular" service - ie. they come to my door in my apartment building, not just leave it in the lobby, and they usually don't completely fuck it up (ie. squished pizza from holding the box vertically).

It sucks but I just view it as an extra cost for using uber eats.
Did you also know you can search your photos by typing in something that is found in the photo? I use this at work all the time for "whiteboard" for instance. All of this stuff is done using on-device intelligence.
Not exactly tipping but very similar: Panera became very annoying in recent years by hassling me every time I ordered at the cashier about whether I wanted to "round up" to ostensibly donate to some charity or other.

Here's my take: I might already be doing charity work or donations elsewhere, and I'm at my limit. And I went to Panera for food and a place to sit a while. If Panera's ownership or rich executives want to donate somewhere as individuals, do that. If they want to make the biz itself donate, do that. If you want to pass this cost on to customers then simply build it into the pricing. But DO NOT hassle each customer and waste everyone's time with cognitive clutter. If anything it feels like a form of intentional guilt-tripping or griefing. What Panera offers isnt unique enough that a person cant go choose an alternate service.

Anyway, not a rant on tippping itself, but a very similar structure. I believe tipping too should just be built into the prices a business charges. Massively simplifies each transaction and reduces griefing and psychological games. (Really, its another case of a more general rule, imo: simplify, simplify, simplify...)
You can still see subnets though which was the original point.
I see. But that would increase memory usage no? I'll look into it, thanks. And I understand now, the priority is not to chase high performance but have some set of standards that you can adopt without to much bike shedding.

I still am not convinced to use rails over Go for my needs, but I am glad you helped me get some more insight.
I think it’s gone up because of the cultural marking of “cheap tippers.” You see it lambasted in movies and TV (in Reservoir Dogs it’s even a significant point of foreshadowing). The scale as I understand it is:

For delivery, tip 10-20% on the subtotal based on the size of the order and the service/delivery time (and perhaps your relationship with the deliverer or business, in cases where they have a dedicated pool). Often these people live off tips and their wage doesn’t even cover gas/maintenance on their own vehicles.

Dining in? Outside of very bad service, I’ll tip 18-20% of the subtotal. Service industry is hard and there’s a lot going on. Even with a bad experience, sometimes it’s not your waitstaff’s fault and they’re trying to roll with it themselves.

Take out/coffee/etc: tip 10-15% based on your relationship to the business and price. If I’m going to a pricier coffee place, I may tip less because I do have a upper limit on what I’ll tip for anything paltry (a buck or two for a latte and a muffin).

Moving guys/tradesmen: May slip em a ten if the job was a pain or they were real punctual.
> I hear they call the quarterpounder with cheese a REGIVS CVM CAESVS.

CVM CASEO.

Though I don't know to what degree it would make sense to translate an English with-phrase using the Latin preposition "with". A quick check of the dictionary suggests you might want something more like REGIVS CASEARIVS.

Fun fact: the Spanish word quesadilla means "cheesed [thing]". The components of the word are ques- [cheese] -ad- [passive participial ending, like the -en of taken] -ill- [diminutive form, like using doggie instead of dog] -a [feminine ending]. It seems to be common to create food words from participles like this; enchilada has the same form ["chile-ed"].
Which is generally what you want: for less price-sensitive customers to subsidize the more price-sensitive customers; see: any demand curve chart.

Of course, raising prices is exactly what happens when you eliminate tipping. But prices are sticky; people react strongly to price increases. They can, to some extent, modulate their tipping behavior (from 25% down to 15%), but if all they can do is take or leave prices, some customers will switch restaurants.
I guess they see it as a way to express their frustration with the world. Or perhaps they hope to intimidate someone into loving them. Or maybe it’s something different, but similarly broken.

Would be great to see more focus on mental helth care, I guess this is the way to prevent situations like this one.
> When I delivered food

A "token amount" is pretty reasonable if you take tipping at face value, no? It's supposed to be a reward for good service. Waitstaff engage with you many times over the course of about an hour, and every person at a table receives service. It's fairly reasonable in this case to tip in proportion to the total bill. On the contrary, it's roughly the same amount of work for a delivery driver to deliver $100 of food as it is $10. Tipping the driver a few dollars (at most) seems not unreasonable in this case. The tip cannot possibly be reflective of any service rendered and it's essentially random what driver you will get, so you're not being biased or harming a particular person.

This is, of course, wholly separate from whether the tipping system is a good idea on the whole.
Sources of Complexity: Constraints
Well, for better or for worse, America has been exploiting immigrants since day zero. That doesn’t stop it from being the land of immigrants, as that is in fact what it is. It just means our ancestors were all, for the most part, exploited - some more than others, sure, but it’s still there. I know it is for my ancestors.
Not a dev. I am in marketing.
Seems funny talking about complexity from a Rails perspective. The most interactive codebase I've ever encountered was in Ruby/Rails with no static type information, gems that magically work, and application-specific DSLs that can only make sense if you were there like a punchline to an 'in' joke. I don't even think it was unusual--just happened to be at a company that lasted long enough for the amount of cruft and action-at-a-distance to accumulate and not long enough to grow out of it and write more scalably.
You don't agree with it's security tradeoffs. That's fine. But it doesn't make it "lousy".
The tipping situation is numerically very similar in Canada, unsurprisingly.

But at least in Canada, the waiter brings a wireless point-of-sale machine to the table for you to pay. Whereas in American, they take your credit card all the way to the cash register (unsafe!), bring the receipt to your table, make you write the tip and total on the receipt, and collect the receipt.
I also found the formulations off-putting, e.g. repeating how lucky it is for a girl to have brothers (emphasis on their gender). Or how they felt the need to explain specifically to the male readers why the sister was concerned by what's going on. I am a man and I would be scared shitless if some weirdo was breaking eggs on my car.

The author probably just didn't realize this angle, I doubt he meant it in a bad way.
Give us an example of how higher taxes have benefited the low class. Maybe you could use a high tax haven like California?

I think you've made the mistaken assumption that government has your best interests at heart. Has the government trickled down that tax money to worthy causes? Do you expect that same government who gives these wealthy businessmen so much to suddenly invest MORE tax money wisely?

It seems to me that we have constant tax increases with no benefit except to pad elitists pockets in Washington.

> For the past two years, FH2R has consistently been ranked as one of the world’s largest projects of its kind. According to project participants, FH2R uses a 20-MW solar PV array built on a 180,000-square-meter site along with grid electricity to power a single-stack 10-MW-class electrolyzer.

Says more about the MBA exam than anything else
True, but how high is the chance that somebody that can't handle a $400 emergency today will be able to pay back $400 of credit card debt next month? And if they don't, they usually end up in more problems down the road.

Also, there is nothing that says you couldn't use a debit card for normal spending and resort to using a credit card only for when you actually need credit (assuming that the rewards inefficiency gets fixed).
I can't believe these comments, what is wrong with you people?

if you are a highly paid technology worker, when you go to service establishments where people are working hourly and are desperate to work 40-50 hour weeks just to pay their rent and feed their kids, you *tip*. *generously*.

the US has an insanely out of control income inequality issue that is very intractible and structural. If you are so fortunate as to find yourself on the winning end of it, as is the case for a vast portion of Hacker News members, yes, (WHILE SAID STRUCTURAL INEQUALITY CONTINUES TO NOT BE SOLVED BY OTHER MEANS), you should be transferring to the members of your local community who are not so fortunate (AND ARE EXPLICITLY ASKING FOR TIPS AND/OR WORKING WHERE TIPPING IS CUSTOMARY) and you should be happy to do it.

hi - not as *a subsitute for raising the mimimum wage*, of course not, of COURSE wages should be raised. of COURSE if everyone were paid fairly in the first place, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. however, at the moment, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised in 14 YEARS, so FOR THE MOMENT, until said inequality issue can be structurally modified, workers really could use tips. that's why they are asking for them.
See my below post. The issue is the delivery driver has to pick up the order from a full service restaurant much of the time. The full service restaurant workers will blackball the delivery driver if he doesn't tip them, and that happens proportionally to the cost of the food. After 2-3 times the delivery driver not tipping the restaraunt at the food he's picking up, he will be waiting forever until his customers cancel.

The price has plummeted over the past 18 months. Enough to be responsible for the entire "inflation is receding" statistics.

OK, fallen a lot (like 75% over the last 18 months) but the adaptor volume may not be enough to move the stats. And power adaptors are probably not part of the basket of goods.
> “Back in my day…” there was a crusade against Christian prayer and what not.

No, there wasn't.

There has historically been litigation against forced or state-agent-led prayer, and that litigation was often by Christian (or Christian-adjacent; boundaries are disputed) groups.
