By evolution I mean change towards more sophisticated states of being.

Entropy decreases in lifeforms and increases in the universe. The former process helps to accelerate the universal rise of entropy, so is entirely consistent with the universe.

In the end, according to our current understanding, yes, entropy rises until it consumes all energy, and no more life is possible, but that is many trillions of years in the future, and until that time, the nature of the universe is to create ever more sophisticated life.

This is actually why we have in the social sciences the concept of abduction. Finding out something that defies the rules, where new rules have to be created. In deduction, you have a type, and infer the tokens. For induction, you have tokes and infer a type. But for abduction, you have a radically new token, where the type needs to be created. I am pretty sure that the techy infosec community finds out that it's closer to the social sciences.
Everything looks delicious. You could polish up the design if you want, but I think it's getting the job done. I'd definitely go if I was nearby after seeing the menu :)

I have never had bad experience with PayPal. I use it always when it an option and I give out my credit card info very rarely (e.g. it has to be actually life altering product/service and not support PayPal for me to input my credit card details.)

That may explain something.

The other day I watched a French movie - "Other peoples' children". I had to check and re-check and check again if this was an old movie re-launched or something. In the movie the actors all started smoking at private dinners (with, in this case, a small child living in the house), women with cigarettes held vertically in that stupid-looking way, like in an old fifties tobacco ad. I couldn't understand why that was made part of a movie which was supposed to be "slice of life". It looked completely wrong. I can't imagine people smoking inside houses now, none of the people I know who still smoke will actually smoke inside. None. And everyone just grabbing a cigarette inside that living room? I think I even saw a cigarette scene inside a restaurant too.
I’m in process of opening an all you can eat pancake shop and doing the same.

I’m thinking of charging a small ~$x per table fee for bussing tables. Refundable if they self bus. Probably would always refund it unless they wreck the table.

I’m just suggest a hypothetical that’s in my mind. Execution is always a 50/50 game. If there’s one chance to beat google at their game (95% or whatever domination in ad space) it’s now. I’m just suggesting one use case now that msft and open ai are together.
I contracted on a bespoke project that was in desperate straits, huge extension with no way of delivering anywhere near the sale price. We had some beers with the buyer's representative when he came to inspect progress, and asked him what they were really wanting. "Oh we didn't originally want such a system, but your sales guys named a price that we just couldn't walk away from!"

Turned out it wasn't really the sales guys fault: the CEO was trying to get acquired and figured that a well-stuffed order book looked better, just so long as the cheque cleared before the chickens landed.

I doubt Google is “freaking out” but I’m sure they now have a heightened sense of urgency to launch a competing product ASAP. Honestly, they have the talent, technology, and means/resources to make it happen, so realistically, the only things I think put them at a disadvantage are bureaucracy and overall big company issues.

You can definitely buy pouches of tobacco to be used like snus in the UK (and I'm almost certain that was the case before Brexit, too). Unless "snus" has some specific definition that's illegal and the UK sells an alternative? Not sure, last time I tried snus was in Finland over a decade ago.
> It's never about what you can do.

> Always about who you know.

Sorry for a tangent to a tangent, but I keep hearing this being said all the time as something negative - even though it's obvious, natural, and how everyone says it should be. Some ways of promoting this arrangement include statements like:

- There's no "I" in "team"

- Team productivity matters more than individual productivity

- Most valuable employees are force multipliers for their team

- Being 2x multiplier for a team of 5+ beats being a 10x engineer

Etc.

How do people saying these things (and this is nearly everyone, it's the industry zeitgeist) think it works in practice? That you can skill up in being "a force multiplier for a team"? That you can grow your team multiplication factor from 1x to 2x to 3x to ... in isolation, and then slot yourself into any team to give them an instant bonus?

No, any kind of force multiplication is achieved through working relationships. The fuzzy stuff. Two people equally competent in their field and with equivalent EQ aren't freely swappable between the teams, because they don't have identical personalities, quirks and habits. Force multiplication involves people working together for some time, molding themselves to fit each other.

In the process, people working well together grow to know and like, or at least respect, each other. They become each other's "first on the list for X", or "example of how to do Y". Which is exactly how "it's about who you know" works in practice.
The difference is hyperbole. You make it sound like you’re being personally harassed by a minimum of 10 children, possibly taking shift coverage to make sure to infect you 24x7.

And you’re comparing that with actual smokers who would actually light up at every opportunity.

Oh it’s “just one cigarette” that you would smoke right? Just one. Why are these unreasonable people persecuting you unreasonably for just one. Of course you wouldn’t smoke a second. Of course no one else would smoke one after seeing you.
I've pointed this out as I think the follow-up problem is more difficult actually.

It's easy to validate something "and just throw an exception".

On the occasion someone else in this mad world tells you that your analysis is fundamentally logical, you should thank them. So thank you.

Fwiw I really like the current design. If you hadn’t said it was taped together I had assumed that it was purposefully designed like that. It not really brutalist, but adjacent, somehow? That seems fitting for an unconventional coffee shop IMO.
Your inference from the data is flawed. They changed the filters more often because they clogged more often. Filters clog up and reduce their airflow over time, they don't allow more particles through over time. So the air was 3x dirtier.

I can tell from experience if you come from a non-tipping country you can really have some negative experiences before you realize what's going on :)

That said, the "need" for a tip does make the waiter/ress a lot more pro-active and helpful than in my country where waiter/ress's can be cranky even. In the US they introduce themselves ("Hi I'm Jerome, I'm excited to be your waiter today!" Made me smile every time), make sure you are ok, the level of service is pretty high.

We do tip here (Netherlands), but it's more when service was really good. But personnel won't bat an eye when you don't. Of course, we learned from Reservoir Dogs [0] that tipping is basically part of the income in the US. Is that still true? In the Netherlands we generally agree with Mr. Pink, minimum wage is higher here though (I think).

Not for a long time. It would likely fold within weeks.
> It is also elitist to not accept cash

I think you're ascribing malice to something that is largely a function of cost, safety, and hassle.

Yes, credit card fees are not free, but:

1. Managing cash is not free either. At the end of the shift / end of the day, you need employees to count cash and reconcile the amounts with receipts. Cash in excess of what the business wants to keep on hand needs to be transported to the bank and deposited, which costs employee (or manager/owner) time.

2. Businesses that accept cash are bigger targets for (possibly violent) theft. Your minimum wage barista might appreciate not having to worry about someone coming in with a gun and ordering them to empty the register into a bag, if there is nothing to empty into said bag. Transporting cash to the bank is another point where you can get robbed.

3. Related, there's also the risk of being paid with counterfeit bills. Granted, there's also the risk of stolen credit cards being used, and the business is usually forced to eat the cost of that. So this might turn out to be a wash (or perhaps, I suspect, this is actually worse with credit cards).

Certainly, from the customer's perspective, credit cards are a privacy leak, and require a good credit score or at least a bank with debit cards, and some people don't have access to either. But I think the solution to the latter is to make banking more accessible to people (I think allowing the post office to be a bank to anyone who needs it is a great way to make that happen). Not sure how to solve the privacy leak, though. Even with (unlikely) strong legislation against data collection and sharing/selling, there's always going to be a purchase trail.

And your point about jogging (or not-jogging) just doesn't make sense; it's far more convenient to carry a credit card when jogging than to carry cash.
Im very excited about the near future of this field. Seems like its moving very fast recently.

Its also scary but whatever
Post-Brexit service in London has genuinely become very bad, on average. It’s just incompetent half the time. I can’t count the number of times I’ve walked into a mid-market restaurant and waited several minutes for someone to greet me. I can live with crappy service, but I don’t buy this narrative of ‘sincere Brits vs fake Americans’. Most Americans in the service industry seem genuinely to be trying to do a good job, even if there are layers of fake friendliness on top of that. Most British people in service jobs seem genuinely not to give a shit (which is fair enough - I wouldn’t either).

Forcing the user to decide ahead of time exactly what files are required goes against the purpose of a computer. It is a run-time choice, not an administrative one.

SE linux et al solve the wrong problem, which is why we all hate it.
Important to add: in fields where tipping is standard (notably, restaurant waitstaff), in many areas of the US the minimum wage is much much lower. Nationally, $2.13/hour. That pays their taxes... For all intents and purposes, restaurant and bar staff are gig workers that are working for a variable rate determined entirely at the customers' discretion. If you don't tip them, they're essentially working for free, or rather, the rest of us are subsidising your service.

It is a mind-blowingly terrible system, but until we fix it, "tips" (in the US, in industries that are traditionally tipped) are not a bonus, they're part of the base wage, and if you don't pay them you are absolutely freeloading.

So, I also think politesse is really a critical skill and function in society. I've never smoked in close proximity to anyone without asking them if they minded if I lit up first. I also have never coughed on an airplane. Never. Not once. I've flown upwards of 200,000 miles in my life. I don't understand this urge people have to spread their germs as soon as they get seated and buckled in. I know the air is dry; control yourself. Really, try to control yourself.

> I go to a bar that is cashless and still see people have to leave because they only had cash (or didn't want to use their card).

And I see the same issue when I go to places that only take cash: people have to leave because they only have a credit card. Or they pony up some ridiculous fee to take cash from the ATM in the bar.

> credit cards are another way to get tracked

I personally don't care too much about this, but I can understand why some might.

> a great way for a duopoly of companies to skim 1-3% off the economy

Put another way: a way for a duopoly of companies to get paid for providing a useful service to both businesses and customers. Now, you can argue that if there was more competition, fees would be lower, and I wouldn't disagree with that. But it's a bit disingenuous to suggest that the card networks are just taking and not providing any value.

> a way to be analyzed by the merchant

Basically the same as your tracking argument. Some care, some don't.

> a way to get more explicitly prompted to pay a 20% tip

Shrug? That's life? I feel pressured to tip regardless of how I pay. At least with the POS terminal I don't have to do math.

> and more hassle than handing a $5 for a $4.73 coffee and walking off.

It's pretty rare that I see a bill for an even amount of money. It's way more hassle to have to dig through my pockets for exact change, which I never have, so in reality I'm passing over a larger amount and waiting for the cashier to make change for me. And then I have to decide how much of that I want to leave as a tip. That's certainly more hassle than just tapping a card and a tip amount, and walking off.
What a shallow, and insulting dismissal. Have a good day.
Of course.

But the examples given missed the point imho.

All of the stated things don't need any type level machinery. You can just test things at runtime and be good.

If you want to prove things at compile time that's a very different story.

But than this needs to be explicitly stated in the examples.
The notion of retraining implies a waiting pool of unfilled jobs. The only industries in the US that are chronically understaffed and desperate for talent are construction and unskilled agricultural labor, neither of which (separately or together) are prepared to absorb the roughly 22 million individuals who work in the service industry in the US. You want automation, you then also have to choose between luxury space communism or open air refugee camps and massive civil unrest.

IIRC Debian plans to bootstrap new 32-bit-but-64-bit-time arches for some of the current 32-bit arches. Probably only armhf and i386 will get this treatment and possibly some of the unofficial arches like m68k. The other remaining 32-bit release arches (armel, mipsel) are likely to just get dropped. Cross-grading from the old arch names to the new ones will allow users to migrate old systems.
Do you change jobs often? I hear that's the best way to increase your salary.
Exactly. Conservatives try to paint this as protecting their kids from left-wing ideology, but it's really about being able to force right-wing ideology on them.

I'd strongly prefer exposing kids, in an age-appropriate manner, of course, to the whole breadth of human ideology and life experiences, with different views on it, and teaching them to think for themselves.

But mostly, I've got a kid that's struggling to read, but has a couple of very strong interests (trains!) that I leverage to get him to read more. Restricting the diversity of books available because they need to go through some slow approval process first, will make it harder for him to access books that he's eager to read. Because the whitelisting process means that even books that aren't even the slightest bit objectionable, won't necessarily be available, and may have to wait until more mainstream books have been approved.
In the event that something is seen as suitable; i'm assuming it would see some adoption (that's the assumption I wrote the comment under).

However I do agree, at least against automated attacks; there will be a bit more security. Though if you are doing anything serious that draws attention, at that point obscurity is all but putting off the enevitable failure if you are ever targetted.
