You forced me to check my sources. Thank you. I cannot just trust my memory. Looks like the front of the house can pool their tips in many states in the USA indeed. But according to Nolo, they cannot pool with people who typically get no ti

The cook in the kitchen gets no tip. Unlikely to be appreciated, gets no share of the tip, and could make my dish a delight, or spit in it. The guy/girl says "i'm gonna be your waiter tonight", and that's the last t

If all of this is true, the logical end to me, not suggested by the author, is that Google buys Uber. For less money than anyone could. Travis is out. Makes industrial sense for Google to be in that business too.

Are there software vendors selling systems that make it easy to fingerprint documents? Are there any proven known cases of some administration branches using fingerprinting routinely?

People learn. I still believe more in people than algorithms to debunk fake news. This election was step 1 in people's learning curve about it. Of course, if they don't want to learn, they won't. But no algorithm or laws will

Even if what you said was true, what would be the point of a strong economy if people cannot have healthcare? I'd rather have a less strong economy and better health for everyone. Not surprisingly, it helps the economy: people dont los

Founders will like the move. If you are a big investor, the first question during an IPO roadshow of the next a16z-backed company may well be: "a16z, are you leaving the board after the IPO?"

If there is no way for me to delete my personal data after i leave the store, i find it distopyan. If one day all the stores are like this, I guess you may argue I can still grow my own food, and everything is fine.
