I mostly disagree there too (at least in the US). Tipping is so ingrained in American culture that I don't think you can put the burden on the tipper to know that doing so can get someone in trouble with their employer. Just as it's their r

True but that doesn't make this statement from the GP any less ridiculous: "You're effectively asking someone from a lower class to possibly break the law". I know of waiters/waitresses that don't report all of their tips. Do we now say tha

My recollection of history is not great but I believe that in feudal times this is true. But the interesting part is that they were granted rights in business that others were not given. So it wasn't simply that they had to compensate in ot

Another FYI after browsing the report: questions were asked in 2007 about income in 2006.

Isn't this a great use case for Native Client? Maybe it's not ready but it seems to be something to look forward to.

Just my own observation from the comments over time: tptacek and patio11 probably met here, both have Chicago connections, met in person and now have done business together. tptacek and cperciva are both in the security/crypto world. Don't

This comment was also made here on HN not long ago (maybe that's where you read it). I believe someone also stated that it's not good for your back to exercise too soon after waking. I believe your "<something>" is glycogen. The bas

Hmm. Not sure if I was interpreted as saying something different (considering you have 3x the upvotes) but I agree. If I wasn't clear, I was saying: if you're fully booked and charging 4x what you were once told is too much, are you conside

And most people would be quite happy with a "B" body. The most important thing for me, as someone that tends to come up with the "perfect plan" before starting, is that doing a little will get you on the path to improving yourself. But then

I was thinking recently about how a similar technique could be used on DropBox. Government employee uploads "sensitive" data and sees that no actual data is transfered. They now have a person of interest in a leak or possession case.

You should really stop and think about what you are saying. Do you understand the business Twilio is in? The entire point of putting example code out there is to get people to use it or be inspired by it so that Twilio can make money from i

> poor stay poor, rich stay rich Sure, but I've always thought about the American Dream as opportunity. Whether an individual takes an opportunity before them is a personal choice but it's still there for the taking. That can't be said

I can't speak for absconditus but... It's my belief that no one has the right not to be offended and I would rather live in a society of people that are brought up to be exposed to realities of our history and culture that offend them. I sa

In another post, I made the comment that anyone that opts out of going through these machines should use this fact to plant fear in the minds of TSA agents. Every one of them should at least be a little concerned about this and it would be

It's my understanding that it's not a violation to charge different prices for cash/credit. It's a violation to have a standard price and have a surcharge for credit. So they can have separate "cash" and "credit" prices but they can't have

I didn't think about this until your comment but I've had this happen to me (a man) by females at parties. The thought of publicly shaming the girl for what she did never occurred to me; a double standard I'm happy to live with.

A video is great but many people aren't going to bother with it if they aren't otherwise interested. "A Better Way to Think" means nothing to me and is the only other thing to grab my interest. I would have clicked away in about 2 seconds i

While I agree that there are limitations with App Engine, I disagree with your two examples; not only are these possible, I think they have a nice solution on App Engine. 1. Wildcard subdomains and multi-tenancy seem to be a nice solution t
