In practice, tipped employees typically get 0 dollar paychecks from their employers; the business assumes that your tips bring you up to the minimum wage, whether true or not, and they pay taxes on your behalf accordingly. This is also typi

It's the same as the general minimum in only 7 states. Yes, the general minimum wage is a problem too. But in 43 states the tipped minimum is a greater problem.

We each produce 1MM+ in actual revenue per year but paying us 100k+ is too much?

Even snippets are so bad I have to turn them off. I can't even fathom how bad the suggestions are going to be for full blocks of code. But I guess I'll see soon...

Sorry, you're right, a quick google search revealed my state's wage, not the fed (forgot to check the difference, which is so negligible that it's insulting). This does not change my point in the slightest, which is that wait

Perhaps you are unaware, but in the US, tipped waitstaff only make $2.83/hr in most places (tipped minimum wage). These people need tips in order to make any money. Nobody is working hard for 2.83/hr. This is changing since now pe

Your last point confuses me. Bitcoin has made some people richer, some people poorer, but it has not made the world a better place, nor found much use as a currency, and there’s still not a convincing case for blockchain as an important alg

This is not true. If something's working, you don't change it for no reason. Business requirements and requests change all the time . 90% of our work is done in response to that. The other 10% is fixing up technical problems due

Do we really have to be respectful of deliberate nonsense? It seems that only serves to validate that nonsense as worthy of serious debate... which it isn’t. This time policing serves only to help spread the ridiculous conspiracy theories,

When gossip, public shaming, and excommunication are commonplace, what's said in private matters a lot. Heresy - questioning the orthodoxy of today's doctrines - carries a high punishment these days.

Your first source does not cite revenue. For reference, just Amazon's total revenue for 2020 was 386 billion [1]. Apple's was 274 billion [2]. I think your point still stands. FAANG alone obviously won't get us there, but tax

I would not make that assumption if they use proper security practices. You can make cookies unusable (or harder to use) by anyone but the initial owner a few different ways. You could include a hardware or ip fingerprint in the cookie that

In fact, your post makes it clear that a certificate expiring at 09:59:59 presents a problem too; there's a whole second where checks may be invalid before 10:00:00. This would depend on the browser implementation which is not specifie

Good job Fastly for getting the issue identified and resolved so quickly. < 1 hour to identify, <13 minutes to fix (assuming status is accurate).

Phew! That time to find the issue is always the stressful part. < 1 hour is pretty good for weird stuff, and fortunately the east coast of the US is barely online this early (sorry Europe!).

That is a distinction without a difference and a nonsensical one at that. I have money in my bank account and it goes to someone else’s bank account. The same is true for Bitcoin anyway - you have to use exchanges to get money in/out a

This doesn't make sense to me. Are you opposed to people paying for oil, or the influence of oil? Because that still exists whether they are paying with dollars or crypto, and will exist no matter what currency is used.

Sending money over the internet is faster and safer using methods that existed before bitcoin (sending via banks / paypal / venmo / cashapp / etc). Crypto does not enable this.
