Your base bill is lower because it’s a built in assumption that your gratuity is part of the service worker’s pay. It was normalized for most service jobs that actually pay a living wage in the US over a long period, and it’s been extended to other jobs as they’ve become part of gig work. If you don’t like it, I agree, but we have to be willing to pay workers a decent wage to do work for us.

The question was , "Where are they going to charge them once a post office has a few?" So, I'm not sure why you are trying to correct my factual quotes to answer that question by posting your expectations as to the future hypothetical existence of chargers.
While I’m a big fan of your work and have been deeply both entertained and educated by your presentation skills, an unfortunate and concerning observation is that the products that you’ve championed generally failed to see adoption in the mass market, and it may be due to the overtly technical focus, which is not bad in of itself but lengthens the time to market. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach may be to release an iteration of the product before improving on it.

I say this not to detract from your work but because I’d genuinely like to see companies opting into self-hosted hardware as Oxide envisions. The centralization of all internet services into three big cloud vendors does not bode well for society.
That’s a bummer to hear that outages can lock out paying subscribers. That hasn’t happened to me yet but if it does that would cause me to reconsider the premium subscription.
Because there are people doing things out there that are valuable to us, but we don't pay them enough to do those things that they could dream of paying the full cost of mail delivery.
> In shipping and logistics, time is money. Fuel can be dispensed in the US at a maximum of 10 gal/minute. Factor that against the largest charger you can find and see why the single cost difference doesn't matter yet.

You charge the mail trucks overnight, when they aren't being driven. I don't know about you, but I've never seen a postman out in the evening or nighttime. I also don't know about you, but I don't stand next to my car when I charge it at a rapid charger. (I stop where I can run an errand or use the bathroom.)

In comparison, it takes time to get gas. You have to go out of your way to get to the gas station, go up to the pump, pay for it, and then get back on your way. It always takes me 5-10 minutes to get gas.

So, time being money, what makes the most sense is to install a charger at every parking space that a mail truck occupies overnight, and getting rid of the trips to the gas station. The time it takes to plug the car in is negligible.
It'd have to be a really abstract and evil scheme.

All of this has a capital penalty and requires stuff that doesn't exist yet. We're discussing exactly what stuff might be worth said capital penalty.

If the basic running costs of these are really 25% of ICE vehicles then there's a lot of wiggle room for some extra "capital penalty" while still saving a tonne of money.
What about assuming that apple wants to continue to sell chargers because it's very profitable for them, and that any other extremely spurious justification they(you) give is PR.
I Asked an Algorithm to Optimize My Life
I don't tip, ever. I've never done it in my entire life. I'm not legally obligated to. What are they going to do, arrest me? If they actually need the money, I'm sure they can bake it into the price of the product or service they sell me. I'm used to it, coming from a non-tipping culture. It works perfectly fine overseas.

Overall what I noticed is that tipping is a sub-strategy among others in the American shopping experience where companies try as long as possible to hide the total price charged to a customer. You can see it everywhere from various fees, taxations, and tipping. I am shocked that it is so difficult to know the final cost of things until the very last second. Tipping is just one strategy in the toolkit, but tech companies are deploying it everywhere now, it's hard to escape.

in astronomical terms, measurable but not really significant, can become significant at cosmological times scales/distances. adjust the trajectory of something at the distance of Jupiter by a "measurable but not really significant" amount, and it could be the difference of a direct impact with earth or a near miss by the time that not really significant amount is accumulated for that distance.
Not sure what the VT100 link was supposed to prove other than yeah terminals back then were hard to support generically. And you had to hack around the issues. Which was my point.

The "Osborne-specific version" was the retail version...for the Osborne. Yeah, there was a 'generic' retail Wordstar...that you had to patch for your specific hardware if your combo wasn't supported out of the box. I had friends who's whole business back then was hacking popular CP/M apps to support less popular hardware.

There wasn't some compatibility nirvana. It was just easy to hack up a fix because apps were on the order of 10's or 100's of kilobytes, not hundreds of megabytes.
Every time tipping comes up on HN, someone chimes in to say what a strange American custom it is, and how nobody ever tips in Europe.

Historically, tipping came to America from Europe in the 1920's and 30's. When it started, it was very divisive and considered un-American. You can see it in the background of certain old films of the era. It is a sub-plot in the Humphrey Bogart movie Petrified Forest.
Generally I dont see many hard-ardent Google defenders.

I see Google as a far less centralized/top down org, with a lot more different competeing goals. Ads are evil, Android is ugly, but and there's a lot of different things happening with their web work but imo a huge swarth of it is good, and their process & trying to work with the world is admirable.

The realization that huge companies have good & bad sides, tension within, is I think a indicator of maturity. Some organizations to have high homogeneity, high organizational patterns, but top-down orgs are usually a sign of bad. There's something much more interesting & dynamic about orgs that allow internal variance, that have different viewpoints within. The Democratic Party in the US for example seems to have a quite hard time figuring out top priorites & creating cohesive messaging; there are a lot of different ideas & values, within the group, & debate about how & where to go... this has gobs of problems, but I think that tolerance of internal discourse (even though it's presence is contrary to alignmemt, even though it can bleed out) is enormously powerful, creates a far better for the org to assess it's values & align itself over time.

I'd love to see a web platform Google that operates with even one pro-web ally on the standards board, that believes in a Fugu like expansion, versus the narrow-web rest-of-universe that is out there... right now there are some places for cooperation in html/cas, but there's no real allies in growing the platform, adding new capabilities. It's been long & lonely trying to work on the web & that's a shit position, with literally every other implememter/browser being anti-feature in nature.

Your observation that contrarianism now entails defending the most money-grubbing practicies is seemingly a somewhat apt one.
I mean, tipping in general is bizarre imo. But at the end of the day I don’t see a lot of difference between that and a regular restaurant.
Yeah - while it seems easy/logical to just swap a normal delivery vehicle for an electric version of it, you don't really have to do that & electric vehicles do come in many more shapes and sizes due to the might higher flexibility and scalability of the electric power system.

For example here in Brno, Czech Republic, the entry to the city center is nowadays quite restrictive for regular cars/vans - a lot of it is a pedestrian zone & its not really built for cars anyway, the street layout dating back to the middle ages in places or to the 19th century.

As a result, a lot of the deliveries happen via alternative means - for example when you order a pizza from the local Dominos, they will come with an electric scoter or on a bike. A lot of the food delivery happens via guys on small e-scooters (or even electric monowheels!) or just on foot/going by public transport. In other cases you can see a DHL cargo e-bike, etc. :)
No, the existence and locations of these chargers is not set. They may not even get purchased. The current planned rollout is for 75 locations. The absolute truth to "where these will get placed" is nobody yet knows. Nobody knows where, because nobody knows where the vehicles will get placed.
They’re literally getting in a car and bringing things to you. That’s a potentially deadly level of service.
Man, they're even taking jobs away from podcasters. Most of those people don't even make money from it.
Yeah, so much collective effort spend on the notes app, yet not a single great one :(
What was surprising to me when I looked into it is the power usage of EUV lithography. The machine takes about 1 megawatt of input for about 200 watts of euv light! Not the most efficient, I always knew it was complicated making modern chips I didn’t realize it was so power hungry I believe TSMC is around 10% of Taiwans power usage.

Power efficient chips require huge amounts of power to make.
Not awesome, but nowhere near the definite evil I've seen from Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, etc....

Well we have to be willing to pay when we hire those worker directly. I don't find it okay that I need to pay worker separately when I am paying business for whatever product/service they provided to me.
I used to be a tip supporter. Not anymore with the amount of deceptive BS that's happened in the last 10 years. I am very close to deciding not to tip, ever. I have no moral qualms with this I've decided. If everyone got onboard it would all work out. Can we just make it illegal to pay below minimum wage even for service work already?

Until then, I have a rule: I only tip when someone is working outside of regular working hours to act as my servant. That's like evening dinner service where someone is actually waiting my table. Sometimes I'll tip at lunch for pleasant service even though it breaks my rule because I'm human. And sometimes a dollar or two for coffee early in the morning or bar service at night out of habit.

I also have "tip bands" structured such that I tip at least 10% when de-facto expected. I tip $5 up to a $50 ticket, and $10 up to a $100 ticket, on the pre-tax and pre-other-fees price. My logic here is that if restaurants are supplementing wages with baked in fees, those fees should be deducted from the tip I'd otherwise have been expected to pay. So a standard 15% less a 4% surcharge post tax becomes 10% additional (tip). In any case, things average out such that I over-tip anyway, sigh.

I guess my latter point here is that I'm still made to feel guilty when tipping at least 10% because of how establishments suggest you should be considering 20%, 25% and 30% gratuities on top of all the fees they slip in at the end and taxes. It leaves me disillusioned with the entire notion.
Kind of BS, but can we introduce a mandatory retirement age for senators so that they have to actually live under the policies they create? That would also resolve the perpetual senator problem.

I really needed this, thank you for sharing!
As the owner of two EVs, with neighbors that have various EVs and hybrids, I am actually kinda miffed at the new regulations. For a typical appliance car like a Corolla, Camry, or similar, the engine is all but inaudible unless the car is stationary. Once it is past walking speed tires quickly become what you hear.

This need to make EVs loud sucks because I was really looking forward to a quieter environment. But no. Now I can tell you exactly when my neighbor two houses away is backing his Tesla into the garage, but not when his wife comes & goes in her Tahoe.

I'm thinking maybe having it read just the top thread if there's only 10 or so comments or just the main threads if it's a topic with hundreds of main threads.

maybe we could make some way where the reader can text a code and we'll link them directly to a comment if they want to dig deeper, or save/upvote it.

Wouldn't the ultimate intelligence test involve manipulating the real world? That seems orders of magnitude harder than autocompletion. For a theory of everything, you would probably have to perform some experiments that don't currently exist.
Everyone was perfectly fine with "the size of 3 buses".
I think that would insinuate more precision than their methodology for measurement could provide.
I laid out rough guidelines starting from basic concepts. Applied to this case, the right to the revenue is being sold (as per the title). This interest is indeed part of what has been created with public funds.

In general we should want capital to stay distributed throughout many different actors, especially our governments, rather than them being hollowed out and the assets centralized into the financial markets. For example, all throughout this thread there are people pointing out the newly created difficulties of implementing specific policies (for example bike lanes), due to the inflexibility created by divestment.
Um, most people have not vested already. Most people don't have vesting involved in their income at all, at any point in their lives.

For people who do have 401(k)s and similar, the "retirement" age determines when you can start withdrawing from your retirement funds without suffering significant tax penalties.

This is of course assuming you can save enough in your 401(k) (or similar) to retire given the anemic limits on savings that are - as usual for things that benefit tax payers rather than billionaires and corporations - not tied to inflation.

#1 reason to carry cash is so you don't have to go through the forced tipping protocol. Otherwise, I've just quit going to any place that does this. Making your own coffee and packing a thermos is no big deal.

Ideally, we should just raise the employee's wages and end the practice of tipping. For servers in high-throughflow establishments, where actual service is being provided, give them a percentage of every bill, then they're rewarded if the place is busy (which it will be if they're providing good service and the food is good). If they upsell on wine bottles or whatever, they're then essentially earning a commission, and it's baked in, not some customer whim thing.
Im seeing freedom vs being trapped with criminal behaviors. Having freedom wouldnt stop you from relating to these dirtbags, freely if you want. But you shouldnt be forced to keep staying with them.

So, still feeling pretty good about my analysis so far.
It's tricky in some situations. Delivery drivers cannot see whether they got a tip or not, so they can't choose whether to serve you or decline, and they end up working for close to nothing. But of course, I blame the food delivery brokers.
It seems like, if you're going to write an article like this, you have to start by understanding what the norms of tipping were before POS screens made it easy to ask for tips everywhere. So: yes, I think it's a new phenomenon to suggest tipping your grocer? But tipping your mechanic is not a new thing. It didn't start with POS terminals.

Pretty much across the whole personalized service industry (ie, not mass-market retail jobs like grocery and department stores), there is a soft norm of tipping. You're not required to tip any of them the way you are with restaurants, but people have been for generations; it's a way of signaling customer loyalty and getting potentially better service.

Don't tip your grocer unless you really want to. Seriously consider tipping your mechanic if given the option, at least, if you expect to use them in the future. Probably tip the barista (a buck or so), the same way you would a bartender. Definitely tip your hotel housekeeper! And: you are required to tip at full-service American restaurants.

> Is it? How does one come to know what you've said is true? What sensations were involved that proved that? Did you feel it? Hear it? Smell it? Taste it? See it?

I think I just answered that one. I read it with my own eyes and used language to interact.

> On that note, what exactly is sensation? Is it not data?

No. It is not. It is in the name of the thing LLM. Language Learning Model. The data in this context is Language. Language CAN be read. Language CAN be heard. In this context it is instead being reduced to a mathematic scoring matrix in lieu of comprehension.

> Then my basic rights should be stripped away because I frequently believe things to be true which are not in actual fact true.

I've written a couple longform pieces on this in the past few days. Suffice to say. No. I did point out that we incarcerate or deny rights to humans that cannot tell the difference between real and unreal or the truth, but that's really a counter example to what I'm getting at. Whether you do or don't acknowledge it, you have the HARDWARE necessary. The ability. It has no such ability. That's what I'm really getting at.

> I don't think it's a big leap at all to say that current technology is one relatively small leap away from being able achieve what the human brain does. I also don't think that technology needs to do it the way humans do.

I think giving an AI external stimuli to evaluate the physical world the way it evaluates Language and training it similarly is a rather large hurdle. With Language we're building, "super mario galaxy". With sensors and stimuli we're still at pac man.

Please fix your multiple typos. You have a very interesting point, and I'm worried it will be lost for some. Particularly those for whom English is not their first language. The Old World will be awake soon.
Tipping is great but for it to be effective it needs to be before any services are rendered. It’s more of a down payment on a bribe.

Tipping after the fact, especially to a heartless POS machine, is utterly pointless. You’ve already received the goods or services. They’re just preying on your perceived social contract and fear of confrontation (especially when there no “$0.00” button).
"They" are two rather different groups of people- the people who get tipped, and the people that can "bake it into the price of the product"
caring about a hurting planet is hard, duh. believing that we are all amazing & should do better for ourselves & progress on, and being met by resistance & factionalism is heartbreaking, duh.

True about swapping - it was a totally made up idea. The point was that at some scale you get to consider things you can't apply to homes or even parking lots.
I would retain one or two line changes with a comment if it was a fix for a hard to reproduce / corner scenario. Typically with embedded programming it helps- as some fixes are chipset or hardware version specific

Otherwise, just clear off wrong code without much comment. I've seen cases where comments too get bloated up over the years and no body owns to clear it up

If my grocer forces a tip through a machine, I'm going to just leave the shopping there and leave the store.

I don’t; Elon takes swipes at everything he doesn't currently control, especially if he has a past connection to it.

Musk has a finite quantity of tine and money to devote to destroying businesses, so some of them he'll just have to complain about without personally acquiring to run into the ground. Everyone has limits.
What’s strange about that? The owners boost cash flow by jacking up parking rates, create a higher value for their asset, and take out a new loan against it. The original loan gets paid off and the owners get to take out the new equity based on the higher valuation.
