Why is it then that we leave the greatest tips at the fanciest restaurants? Shouldn't it be reversed? We leave $5 tips at diners but we leave $100+ tips at Michelin star restaurants.

Tipping in the U.S. is such a travesty. This is painfully apparent in bars. Compared with, say, Ireland where a barman can take multiple orders at once, batch them, then quickly take payment via a single contactless tap. In the U.S. you hav

I worked a part time job after school along with many of my class mates (albeit not in the U.S.). Some did it to support their parents, some for a bit of pocket money. Seemed like an overall worthwhile experience for us. It can certainly be

What is strange about that?

Whether you agree with it or not, the EU has proved itself to take consistently anti-big US tech stances, so I can see why they might be deterred from releasing to that market without obvious financial benefits.

It's nice to live in walking distance of your job, friends, and favourite restaurants. It's nice to be able to visit bars and not worry about how to get home. It's nice to not be stuck on a virtual island without your car.

Why all this catastrophising over verifying with a government ID? It works well for flying places, collecting post, registering visitors, so why not this. The rent extraction argument sounds preposterous. Should a bouncer have to pay compen

Is this response not proving his point?

Kind of an irrelevant point given that none of these are externalities.

Many people still seem to have a very narrow, Mad Men-esque view of advertising.

And your argument is that because innovation has, arguably, slowed (not even halted!) you are happy mandating the current standard. It's a good thing there is so little innovation coming out of the EU or else their wreckless legislator

This is pure legislation-brain worry about things that markets resolve.

DALL-E demonstrates a lot more creativity than Banksy, in my opinion.

Getting stuff done privately in Ireland is great and fairly cheap. But relying on the HSE can leave you waiting years for basic treatment.

If you want to not appear unhinged, I recommend avoiding calling obviously innocuous things evil unless you've already given your reasons for doing so. There are very real risks a food truck faces in accepting cash: fomite diseases, co

They are speaking more broadly. Every day you walk past buildings with novel construction features, planes fly overhead without your permission, the ingredients to the food you eat change without your knowledge or consent. It's a simpl

What a bizarre straw man. People who denounce their employer publicly are not victims of cancel culture. Also, a word of advice: if you want to convince someone cancel culture isn't real, digging up their comments from 2 years ago is n

The vaccine doesn't fully protect the receiver. In other words, they are still put in danger by the actions of unvaccinated people. My point is that you have to be reasonable and draw a line somewhere between respecting people's l

It's a lot safer than other things we consider harmless.

So labour costs would go up, things get more expensive, and there are still no incentives to be civil because that cost is spread amongst all customers.

Or maybe we can just keep building houses until a $2400 salary can afford them their own apartment.

Such a silly way to think about it. You could frame every service as having this conflict. Does Google want to obfuscate results so I'll spend longer looking for results? Duolingo is extremely popular because people get use out of it a
