What? They are paid the standard minimum wage if they aren't tipped. It's actually the opposite of what you're saying. Their hourly pay from their employer DOES get adjusted when they are tipped below a rate which satisfies t

How, exactly, does not tipping result in someone not being paid. A bit hyperbolic.

by relaytheurgency 10y ago
That is not true at all. Read the law. In a situation where a server's tips do not boost their hourly wage to the federal minimum wage, the employer is obligated to compensate them up to that level. So in a situation where, say, a serv

No they aren't. Read the law. A server's hourly wages with tips will always be at least the federal minimum wage.

Servers are actually never paid that wage. If a server's tips do not elevate them above the standard minimum wage, the restaurant is required to compensate them at the standard minimum wage. This was at least the law when I worked in t

You can get sports covered if you sign up for Playstation Vue. I have been off cable for several years, but had always missed ESPN/FS. Playstaiton Vue has fixed that for me.

Is disagreeing with the style of someone's rhetoric really the same as an attack on the person? The parent comment is making the point that Stallman uses exclusionary tactics while speaking and that they are a turn off if you aren&#x27

It's childish. I don't understand why people try to do this. The organization is called the Democratic party. It is not clever to change the name as some kind of shorthand for your own personal opinion.

Threatening to kill/harm someone is already illegal if the person on the receiving end of the threat has fear for their safety resulting from the threat. If people are so afraid they should consider the already existing methods we have

I see your point and I guess I hadn't thought of it like that. In my case, I pay for Spotify as a replacement for pirating. I probably buy more music now in a physical form now that cassettes and records have become available. I would

by relaytheurgency 10y ago
I don't see how your argument makes sense. Spotify is worse for artists than piracy? Could you elaborate?

This is great. I don't have anything insightful to say, but this makes me so happy.

In the year 2000 or so I got an old C64. That's what got me into computers. It was a lot of fun. I wish I still had it.

Ah yes, prognostication. Such a rare word that it's only uttered multiple times in one of the most popular Bill Murray movies made which is guaranteed to be on TV at least once a year. Seriously, that's not even nearly one of the

I made a comment to this effect as a reply, but I don't understand why the government charges so much interest on these loans (and then only lets you deduct a small portion of it from your taxable income in some cases). Let's assu

You can only deduct 2,500 dollars of student loan interest (Hilariously, even if you're married this doesn't go up. My spouse has no student loans, but I still can only deduct 2,500 filing jointly). When I went back to school to f

Reminds me of when I was teaching and we were discussing test design. If 90% of your students fail your exam what have you learned? I would argue that barring a conspiracy of some kind that the designer has made a mistake in either in the p

You know I hear this all the time, even from my students who I never gave much homework to when I was teaching. I wonder how much of that "time until 1 am" is spent staring at a cell phone. I know a lot of time in class is.

When I was studying to be an educator I was often branded a heretic for challenging the new modes of teaching as being hypocritical and potentially unfounded. I never became an educator after student teaching. This article really puts into

The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro is basically the Android version of the new Apple device. I own one, albeit not for enterprise purposes, and it's not very well executed. I could never imagine using such a stripped down interface as my prima

I work for a company that has the same thing. They have, basically, their own version of SQL. Clients can write scripts and import them. Lots of issues supporting it. I wonder how small the world is.
