   If you include a 5% kitchen fee, and still expect a 20% tip, I ain't paying 25% ... The server will get 15%. I prob wont go back to that restaurant again if they charge ridiculous fees.

   Its disclosed, indeed, but the problem is why is it so high? I can't recall the last time I've ever seen a payment processor so high outside of tax/government paid services.

   Parent comment was talking about VAT taxes in the EU and you're harping on libertarians and republicans in the US? Strange

   I haven't experienced the examples provided in the articles except at restaurants (kitchen fees) where I won't return ever again. I reduced the 20% tip to 15% because of that. Sorry. My local municipality charges 5% to use a credi

   This happens everywhere, it doesn't have to do with race. I have a family member who has children in very posh and upscale neighborhood in a suburban area of NoVa. She has had neighbors call child welfare several times for her 10 year

   Alot of commenters here talking about scaling a saas biz which they can ride to retirement but imo it's a shot not worth taking for the average person. Way easier to build a consulting practice or become skilled in a niche area of deve

    I'd wager this is more of a result of Mark Zuckerberg not wanting competition from other reptilian forces and he's using weather machines to wipe away competing cold-blooded tribes

    "too cheap to beat" sounds anti-competitive and monopolistic. Large LLM providers are not dissimilar to industrial operations at scale - it requires alot of infrastructure and the more you buy/rent, the cheaper it gets. Early

    The NYT is an apparatus of the intelligence agencies, and coincidentally military recruitment is down ... this is subliminal advertisement for recruitment. Coupled with war in Ukraine and incoming war in the Middle east, in addition to new

    I wonder how a more competitive landscape would impact how lobbyists function, given they control the board.

    I've seen an uptick of reporting on 'vacant homes' like the journalists are hinting at a confiscation of private property to house homeless people or something. This isn't Stalinist USSR - you can't seize peoples fa

    Getting diagnosed with ADHD because you "can't focus" is comically easy. Millions of college kids, software engineers, investment bankers, and kitchen staff do it every year.

    HN is mostly anonymous, so the debates are more authentic/honest. LinkedIn is where you share HR approved messaging.

    Gavin Newsom is the king of fluffy feel good bills whilst insuring his favorite lobbyists and industry allies get their carved out exemptions. This dude has to be one of the slimiest politicians in the western world.

    As a gamer, I'd never invest in a Mac ... you can get 2-3x the PC for the same price, and you can upgrade it for 5-10 years. I don't want to buy a new $2k Mac every 5-10 years to keep up with game requirements. I'll use a Mac
