> I wonder if this will be the end of tipping.

We can but hope.

I've already eliminated a huge portion of my tipping, because I'm actively angry about those tip prompts and that everyone and their dog is actively asking for tips these days.

This practice needs to be killed with fire.
Well tnt2 should be pretty well supported by now ;-)
Not sure if you are one of the people working on this. But some screenshots inthe readme would be nice for the unfamiliar :-)

This reminds me of the demo disc i got with my ps1, it had a music visualizer that also loaded into memory and then let you swap out a disc.
This is a straw man argument : Those who don't agree with me must be ignorant religious fanatics, surely not people who have been listening to what scientists working on the subject have been saying for more that 30 years.

Nobody really believes the worlds is going to disappear under big wave, it's of course a shorthand for "I have strong reasons to believe that my living conditions will degrade terribly over the next years (and I think we are collectively ignoring the problem ?)"

If feel like you are denying the level of denialism the topic gets which to me is a much bigger concern that people being overly alarmist.
I am not sure that level of denialism is the fault of fear-mongerers rather than the fact that most people want to bury their head in the sand, don't change anything to their way of life and carry on business as usual.

> The world is getting greener by the day - but these things take time. We're just not ready to have a 100% renewable system yet, but one day we will be there. The incentives to get there cannot be allowed to be fear - it must be logic. A greener future has to be the logical move.

Sure but that's putting under the rug a lot of important questions.
Climate don't care whether we are trying. Most scientists say it's not going fast enough and that not going fast enough will put us in big trouble.
Another question is how much fossil fuel will be necessary for the transition, are we sure we are the spending the most of our fossil energy in order to make the switch ?
The solution is clear. We have to ban the production of luxury cars. It should be illegal to build any car that costs more than $15k
Something to watch out for with nl is that by default it doesn't number empty lines. e.g.:

$ printf 'one\n\nthree\n' | nl
1 one

2 three

Set -ba to enable numbering all lines.

For this use case I usually end up running cat -n instead since I find it easier to remember.
Could you provide a list of names who can/are willing to do it for less? I think our executive recruiting folks (from a lage-cap company) would be more than happy to get some referrals :)

The median new car price sounds so high because it only includes people who buy new cars. At the lower end of the new car market, those cars are competing with used cars. People often choose to buy a more up-market used vehicle than to buy cheaper new cars.
man those kids are gonna look that up and go down a rabbit hole aren't they

Please read the other thread completely and particularly my last comment.

I'm making a macroeconomic comment, you're assuming I'm arguing about the morals of the microeconomic decision making here.

Arguing about the morality or ethics or greed involved isn't useful. Just like it wasn't useful to argue about greed involved in our recent spike of inflation.

This fairly large company is still just another cog in the macroeconomic machine and their behavior is almost deterministic.

The more interesting question to me is what it indicates about the macro climate and if there's stormclouds on the horizon or not.
This makes sense to me. The average age of cars on the road has increased by 10% (~1.5 years) in the last decade, reducing the number of new cars needed to maintain equilibrium.[1] Wealthier people buy new cars (and pay the absurd premium) which then trickle down to the rest of the market through secondary sales.

The reality is that a five-year-old car today is most likely more reliable than a new car built 25 years ago. A similar dynamic can be observed in the cell phone market.

Still, for the median income American that would mean working almost half a year to solely pay a Civic (not considering gas, services, etc) sounds insane.
I call it the 90% problem. If AMD works for 90% of my projects, I would still buy NVIDIA, which works for 100%, even though I’m paying a premium

The problem with this situation is A) precisely that you don't know what people are going to do with it, and B) that once it's out there it's impossible to undo that.

You're confident enough that nothing can be done, to the point that you'd take the risk for no upside. That... doesn't sound rational to me?

Well, it's a personal value judgement what is "better" of course, but

Half me wants to say that the SSR-based web application was a revolution. I had a boss who was both a sales genius and an obnoxious penny pincher and he had a pitch that "custom software development was more affordable than ever" and I would back up that with an explanation of the miracle of the relational database and the "stateless" applications that could be built out quickly.

The thing about React is it can be so much fun if you have a clear plan for how information flows in the application. If you don't it can be hell.

I was working on "Rich Internet Applications" based on Javascript not long after Google Docs came out and back then we were making knowledge graph editors, applications that could plan sales territories for organizations with a division (as in military) worth of salespeople, etc. All things you couldn't possibly do with SSRHTML (back then people knew how to implement both simple and complex forms that way.)

Then angular came along and all the little web agencies that were making Ruby on Rails apps with great success felt they couldn't sell those kind of apps anymore and instead they started struggling, struggling and struggling with Angular.

Back then I was making highly dynamic applications with property sheets and other UI elements that the user could control (think an IDE, Photoshop or Figma) and had developed frameworks for updating application state that would self-organize to handle this.

I laugh at Redux and most of the "state management" solutions out there. MobX looks a lot like the systems I used to build, but for some reason hardly anybody uses it.
This seems like a trueism, doesn't it? Isn't this just the pigeonhole principle?

How do journalists get it so wrong? It's got to be intentional, or neglectful to the point of "I'm not even trying to understand; just tell me what to print".
I had to take a screenshot to test selecting in safari from either side because of the slider but it worked, can select from the old and the fixed pdf directly in the browser. Just saying because it says select only on the 'fixed' pdf.

as for customers, its nice to upload and get scanned pdfs in small real text but is this for people who use this in a workflow? the video is too fast and funky for me, and looks like many steps - how about no music slower and 1 2 3 done? without the signup procedure, just what you get when your onboard. my2c
You probably are not aware of car prices in the USA. In the old times (let's say 10 years ago), you could still buy a reasonable car for 24K. Over time these cars were been progressively replaced by more expensive models, and nowadays you probably cannot find a good car for that price anymore (except for basic entry level models). The pandemic and the carmakers decision to move to EVs has consolidated this price change.
But if the workers rely on tips in order to e.g. pay rent, I don't want to be the a-hole that doesn't do it.

I want restaurants to just charge what it costs to make and serve food and I can choose to eat there or not based on the listed price.
No, that's a given. In addition to that, I appreciate being able to tip them.
I have always wondered who buys new cars anyway.

I am fortunate to be a high earner in the UK relatively speaking (top 2 or 3%) yet the idea of spending £15-20k on what is essentially a "starter car" (e.g. Toyota Yaris) let alone £30-35k on a normal petrol family car (e.g. ford focus) is just crazy to me. What a waste of cash. EVs start at more like £40-50k for bottom-of-thr-barrel brands like Kia or Hyundai, let alone a premium marque. Prices seem very high.

Who are buying these new?!

Someone must be as they end up on the used market. I presume they are leased as company cars or something first.
Cue armchair accountants on HN..
Also consider the case of false flag scandals. Audio recordings used to be reasonably hard evidence for journalists and police, and its now barely more reliable than word of mouth.

I've been fascinated with the idea of a dérive for a few years, but have also been timid in actually doing one with a friend or acquaintance for fear of being asked basic questions like, "If you just want to go on a walk, we can go on a walk."

To anyone whose dérive'd, how did it go?
I meant between WWI and II. I wasn't aware of the earlier movement. I first became aware of it watching the 1936 film version of The Petrified Forest, which features anti-tipping as a minor background element, and has a contemporary (to its release) setting—the play it's based on was published in 1934.
The availability rate sounds like it should be some fraction of the vacancy rate, not the other way around.
Is there anyone who doesn’t game these things? When I worked for big companies that had dumb training programs, I always clicked next, then turned back to my actual work until the next time the audio stopped (or whatever the equivalent of that behavior was for the given training).
I've yet to see studies saying this isn't pervasive across journals. The vast majority are apparently affected.

The idea of peer-reviewed journals is great. The reality is a circle jerk.
No. The types of care that get manufactured would change.
> And now that they aren't taking the tip credit for waitstaff, that money can be combined into a tip pool and shared with the back of the house, who can then have their wages lowered by the expected share of the tip pool.

Not only is this is completely orthogonal to the change in law that's being discussed, this is also already illegal. Tipped workers in Illinois (and most states) cannot be forced to share tips with untipped back-of-house staff.
He wasn’t using anything not available to the public. I wouldn’t consider this doxxing by any stretch.
No. Because you have never seen a universe of which you are sure that it was a real universe, so you do not know how a real universe behaves, so you can not determine whether our universe behaves differently than a real universe. You are just postulating without justification that in a real universe time progresses uniformly and then conclude that our universe is not real because time does not progress uniformly.

As I said in a different comment, even if the stars in the Milky Way suddenly rearranged themselves to spell out »You are in a simulation.« on the night sky, you could not tell for sure whether this is a message from the simulators in the outer universe or whether this is just some weird behavior arising from the laws of physics in a real universe.
According to Vivaldi this feature was added to the development pipeline in May of this year. It doesn't show as implemented. It hasn't worked on Windows or Linux for me as recently as last week.
"PROD" is an acronym (a shortened form of a more formal name for something). What it isn't is an initialism (a word coined by taking the first initial of a descriptive phrase). Traditionally, both initialisms (eg. CPU) and acronyms (eg. NORAD) use all majescule typography. Sometimes the coined words become common usages and are commonly rendered in capital or miniscule case as appropriate (eg. radar, scuba).

This is, of course, descriptive typography. Prescriptive typography will vary from style manual to style manual.
What went wrong is what went right. Cars last a lot longer now. The market for basic transportation in the US is met by the pre-owned market and a few cheap new models like the Mirage and Versa.
> The sub-minimum wage always legally had to be bumped up to minimum wage if the tips were insufficient to do so.

Right, but that's the horrible practice. Tips should never be counted toward satisfying the minimum wage. Tips aren't wages.
We're also unlikely to see future wage gains to outpace the recent increases to cars and houses. We had a brief increase in wages, but inflation and/or the market quickly outpaced that.

I'd like to say things will get messy when so many things become unaffordable, but people said that 10 years (and probably further back), so where's the real incentive to make things affordable so long as businesses stay in business?
Spokane and Bakersfield? Maybe 50 years ago…

As I understand it, only if they can prove some pretty intentional negligence. If some random dude sucks at his job and forget to encrypt so-and-so, or change the default password on such-and-such, it's not really the CEO's fault. Maybe you could chase after the CTO if they had policies which directly lead to this issue.

Again, just as I understand it, that's why nobody gets in trouble for this shit. It's not really fair to blame any one particular person. Whether or not that can be remedied by modifying the corporate system we operate in somehow, I don't know. Probably yes, but that's not my skillset at all.

edit: but in any case, this was due to people re-using passwords, so I doubt you could realistically blame the company.
The same way we do it. Verifying that an output is good is far easier than producing a good output. We can write a first draft, see what's wrong with it, make changes, and iterate on that until it's a final draft. And along the way we get better at writing first drafts.
I'm also turning 40, but I'd much rather be like that than a young person right now..
For even longer it's been clear that any collective (or state for that matter) is made up entirely of individuals. In this case millions of individuals who can't help but give tens of thousands of dollars to the fossil fuel industry each year. I'm really not apt to regard a bunch of people enjoying the fruits of their ill-gotten gains as victims.
Even a yaris costs 15k new, a civic is almost 25k

Min wage will net you about 15k per year, if you don't spend a cent on anything
>The discriminator in a GAN is simply a classifier. It tries to distinguish real data from the data created by the generator. It could use any network architecture appropriate to the type of data it's classifying.

Yup.

But what is a reasonable percentile for someone to "comfortably" afford the monthly payment for a median new car? Maybe 80 is on the high side. But it certainly isn't 50%.

10% of income as a heuristic for a car payment isn't too terrible.

In our galaxy, or anywhere? In our galaxy, potentially 1-3 times per century but there are reasons (besides probabilities being what they are) that we humans haven't actually observed one in some time: https://phys.org/news/2021-01-milky-supernovae-millennium.ht... . Across the universe, the estimate is one star goes supernova every ten seconds. Actually observed: about 1-2 per week. There are systems and amateurs who regularly scan the night sky looking for evidence of supernovas and other "transient" objects. And a central database where they are reported: https://www.wis-tns.org/ . Get an account and sign up for notifications, and you'll get several a week reporting things that probably went boom far, far, far away. Looking to place bets? Betelgeuse is considered a strong contender for the next supernova progenitor that we humans will see with our naked eyes, probably even during daylight hours.
Rough math:

13.2 M new cars sold last year in the US; 66 M people can afford new cars in the US if 80% is accurate. The market still holds then as corporate buyers are also in there.

I understand the argument is about affordability of goods but I don't see the numbers coming down.
I mentioned in another comment, but I was looking only for nice 1-bedrooms in core downtown areas, which is a big limitation. But I will expand the search. Maine sounds especially interesting.
Or just tax the hell out of large, non-commercial passenger vehicles (SUVs, pickups) like every other reasonable country on Earth.
> It's a privilege to have someone waiting on me, and I want them to know I appreciate it.

If that's what tips indicate, I'd be with you. But it isn't. Tips are expected, and in a sense culturally mandatory. That removes them entirely from being an indicator of appreciation.

Also, tips are now being demanded by pretty much everyone, not just for personal service.
Plenty of other wildlife manages to live in cities alongside humans, including songbirds and squirrels.
My take is that this is just brainwashing. Technically other than farming and a couple other things (not restaurants), the business owner must pay them the minimum wage if tips don’t meet it, so I personally don’t see any issue.

That being said I generally get take out because many restaurants in my area have a kitchen appreciation fee when you dine in.
Yeah, it was great having a menu instead of a collection of different boot floppies. Though at this point I forget how much I did with MultiConfig versus once I had enough RAM what I was doing with OS/2's boot manager. OS/2 Warp 3 was wild, but mostly because it was a better way to configure DOS and/or run some DOS and Windows 3.1 apps.
It pays for itself in the sense that the government is able to receive greater tax revenue from the increased number of parents in the workforce.
I don't know anyone who has been able to buy a vehicle for MSRP in the last three years.
I'm not saying he'll do this, but theoretically he could just pay them out of pocket. The banks only hold around $13B in Twitter debt and Musk owns ~$170B of tesla stock with around 42% of that available for him to access immediately (the other 58% is pledged to secure personal loans).
Postgres doesn't use threads, it's a multiprocess architecture. Postfix probably does that on purpose to prevent losing outgoing (or incoming emails if you're doing POP3) in the event of a system crash/power loss.

I used to worry about the use of deepfakes in elections, but in a country (USA) where you can see and hear the truth straight out of the horse's (Trump) mouth and lots of people still support him, I just don't care anymore. We are at an inflection point, and democracy here is about to be something from the past.
The premium isn't really absurd the way it used to be.

Across a number of segments, a 3 yr old used car with 30-50k miles will still bring close to 90% of its original MSRP on the used market.

Gone are the days where a car lost a third of its value when you drove it off the lot (for most segments).
If you go to some fancy downtown restaurant yea of course haha. But if you are just going to dennys or ihop or red lobster or something? nah just the usual. I mean.. if it's an expensive place, 15% is still going to be a fair amount of money haha.
BTC was never a real solution outside of a few SV hacker bros buying VPNs, hosting, or computer parts with it.

How many burritos did you get at 7/11 via BTC payments? I bought a car during COVID -- there weren't any places for me to pay for it with BTC. My mom didn't, and won't, use it for anything.

That like 5 dudes in San Fran bought or sold a house with it is really just exceptions proving the rule.
Not to take this too far, but, unless you're a surgeon or a childcare worker, it probably isn't making much difference.

European cities are outstanding in terms of public transportation. A significant portion of the developed world has to deal with long, frequent commutes, or less-dense, less-reliable public transportation.
