Same. I’m cool with the driver getting a tip (and for a while the delivery startups were taking cuts of those), but there doesn’t seem to be a way to tip the restaurant. The exception appears to be ChowNow where, I think, restaurants pay a

I'm not sure if this is a specific reference to something like McSweeney's Interactive Guide to Ambiguous Grammar [0], to something else, or just a comment in general. (But I agree.) [0] http://www.mcsweeneys.net/a

My theory is that if I see someone's arm being broken as a form of punishment, the pain and suffering is readily visible, which triggers a sort of empathetic reaction. But if I see someone in a windowless room by themselves, it's

In my suburban NY town, something very similar is happening. There was a federal grant for some paid firefighters a few years ago. The grant expired and the firefighters were laid off. The union complained about how unsafe it was. The city

In the US, that's the big difference between exempt and non-exempt. I'm glad I have a lower, less prestigious job because it's classified as non-exempt. That means if I'm on call, I'm paid for it. Which means the co

I think it's v6.3 of vyatta they've forked. Vyatta being debian based, so is EdgeOS. There's also this conversation regarding Ubiquiti's GPL issues from the past: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9331

Just put a webcam in your bathroom, you can track how long you brush, floss, even shower (save water if you're in CA!) with just one device. No, seriously, the bathroom is the last place I want the quantified self.

Similarly, when you buy a used car, how can you be sure the previous owner didn't copy the key (you know, the thing that lets you open the door and drive away) and still has it? That's not a new question. Similarly, you move into

I'm sorry, I should have posted more clearly. Yes, you will reduce film scratches (and Newton rings and glass scratches) if you wet mount. You will only reduce Newton rings and glass scratches if you use an Imacon/Hasselblad since

I agree, I say so often that people depend so much on things in life that they don't know the first thing about. But then again, it's that the point of our educational system, to teach us these things? One month of basic auto repa
