With doordash, you pay with a credit card and assign a tip when you place your order. If that amount is visible to the driver before delivery giving a cash tip upon delivery would leave you at risk for angry drivers fucking with your food thinking they weren't getting a tip.
Why would the driver care if you don't tip? They get paid the same either way. With Doordash, the more you tip, the less they pay the driver. You're not tipping the driver, you're tipping the company. It's pointless. Might as well stiff 'em.
Everyone of them came preloaded with GApps and none of them was properly configured to just mount a flash drive if attached. In the case of the small devices they didn't even have USB-A sockets so without an adapter it's good luck putting software on them without intermediate steps.
When you visit https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mo... and download the latest Firefox apk (using whatever crappy browser your device came with), does the Play Store pop up, and request that you use Chrome instead when you try to install it?
Yeah it's not like the app store on Android, does anything like this
Yeah. It really isn't like that at all. If I download the Firefox apk from Mozilla's site, and then install it, the play store does not interfere (assuming I even bother to install GApps).
A CD-RW drive was standard equipment on all Apple computers of the era except the lowest end iMac desktops.
Bullshit.
My $2,000 Blue & White G3 from May 1999 came with a DVD/CD reader only, and that was an extra hundred bucks over the basic CD drive. I had to spend an extra $250 for a firewire CD burner.
It did have a built-in Zip drive though. What a joke!
BONUS ROUND: The built-in hard disk controller would cause data corruption if anything bigger than a 6GB drive was plugged into it. I had to spend another $100 for a hard disk controller with Mac firmware that wouldn't fuck everything up, when similar parts were about $15 for PC's.
I never bought another Apple ever again, and their hardware has only become more abusive since.
Never use the OS that came with your computer. There's too much conflict of interest. Hardware vendors always screw the user on the software side.
It doesn't matter if the computer fits in your pocket. That's no excuse.
If it came with Windows, do a clean install, or better yet, install a good Linux distro.
If it came with Android, install AOSP, or Lineage (if you can't unlock the bootloader to do this, your computer is trash. Throw it in the garbage where it belongs).
And then there's the Apples... The logo tells you all you need to know. Would you buy fruit at the grocery store if the grocer already took a bite?
1. The hardware specs aren't competitive with iPhone X and Pixel 2. They are already nearly obsolete and the phone isn't even out yet.
My Nexus 4 is still chugging along reasonably well running SailfishOS. The Librem 5 should be a good upgrade for me.
2. Lack of apps. Yes, they have their own store, but that means nothing.
Install plasma-mobile and apt-get install whatever you want from the ubuntu repos. I don't know much about PureOS, I presume it will have a decent package manager, just like any modern distro.
In 2018, HUGE amounts of business and social situations require downloading third-party smart phone apps, and that means using the iOS App Store or Google Play.
Then fuck 'em. If they're requiring me to install application to provide a service which could reasonably be done through a web page, then they're obviously up to no good, and I wouldn't want to do business with them anyway.
Purism has discussed creating method for running Android apps in sandbox isolation, but unfortunately has NOT prioritized that. Unless they do, Librem 5 will never go mainstream.
Why should this be a high priority for Purism? Sure, anbox should work as long as you have a recent kernel (and the librem 5 does), but if Android apps are a priority for you, just get a damned android phone.
I don't give a shit about the fucktons of garbage apps available in the Play store. All i really want is a decent web browser, an ubuntu-sized package repo, and for the OS to never say "no" when I ask it to do something. Anything else (i.e. pretty much everything on the market right now) is just trash.
Diaspora isn't a viable alternative to Facebook because of the network effect: Nobody is on it because nobody is on it. A quick search on my iPhone didn't show a mobile app for it either, making it far less accessible than Facebook or Instagram.
You already have an app for it preinstalled. On your iPhone, I believe the app is called "Safari".
Nope. Nearly every state has exceptions in their minimum wage laws for tipped labor, so your claim that "the employer is obligated to make up the difference" is false.
It is true that some states have higher standards than the federal law (which requires that employers make up the difference up to $7.25), but none of them are lower.
So, you're making my point. It's not the customers who want slave labor for free, it's the employers.
Most employers are ignorant of the law. Even more employees are ignorant of the law. And most customers think that servers are getting at least the regular federal minimum wage. The whole system depends on ignorance.
The $2.13/hr is only there so that taxes can be deducted. When I worked at Chili's, I would often get $0.00 paychecks (Wages - Taxes). I used to keep one of my "goose eggs" taped to the back of my ticket book when I was taking orders. The customers were astonished, and often asked me about it.
However, customers usually tip reasonably well, and failure to average at least minimum wage of the course of a pay period was never an issue for me. If it had, you can be sure I would have raised a stink about it.
Refusing to pay, and then firing for complaining about it would be a really expensive idea for employers in my state. They would owe treble damages on the unpaid wages, and also be exposing themselves to a nasty lawsuit for wrongful termination. Go ahead, make my day.
But come on... no tip at all in a sit-down place? You demand slave labor from your servers then, I take it?
No, it's the Restaurant owners that are demanding slave labor from their employees. It's their responsibility to pay them a reasonable wage, not the Customers'.
If the employees' $2.13/hr wages+tips over the pay period averages less than minimum wage, the employer is obligated to make up the difference.
It's more censoring speech that is not fact but passed along as fact. If it can be proven not to be factual, then it shouldn't be afforded any sort of censorship protection.
Aaaand there goes all of fiction, since it can be proven to be non-factual.
No, not all of fiction. Only fiction being passed along as fact. This is why teaching creationism in public schools is outlawed. It is demonstrably false.
Also, there goes an scientific discoveries that are against the currently understood science.
If they can be proven to be non-factual, it doesn't matter if whether it goes against the currently-understood science. It's simply not true, and shouldn't be passed along as fact. If a claim it is merely unsubstantiated, that's one thing. If a claim is demonstrably false, that's another.
Let's not forget that newspapers are now going to have trouble breaking scandals, especially against popular figures
Can the scandals be proven not to be factual? You do understand there's a difference between that and not being able to prove that it is a fact, right?.
What's that? You say science and news can prove themselves correct? Well, how are they going to do that, when they can't publish because they're being censored? No one hears the arguments, no one's mind is changed, and the Groupthink is reinforced once more.
The burden of proof is on the censor. The scientist and journalist cannot prove that they are absolutely true, but if they can be proven to be false, then it is junk science or fake news.
Seriously? Not one mention of the rest of the world? This is not a local event, you know, it's a global space event.
I hope you're joking. You do understand that the moon is only visible from half the Earth's surface at any given time? If the moon will be setting during the eclipse for the eastern half of the US, why would you expect it to be visible in Europe at all?
What I don't understand is why they bothered with all the timezone nonsense. Why not just give the times in UTC and let readers figure it out? (Hint: if it works out such that the lunar eclipse is happening during the daytime, you won't be able to see it.)
The Apple Watch does appeal to a certain demographic, but there are many others who will shell out $1000 for a timepiece because it will work the same as it did when it came out of the box, 50-100 years from now. This is the market smartwatch makers need to consider going after to expand.
How can smartwatch makers possibly hope to deliver on this? Good mechanical watches are not designed to be interactive (beyond setting the time), much less modifiable.
A smartwatch is a general-purpose computer strapped to your wrist, and computers are expected to change. Users want to run many different programs, install new software, and change the data that it holds (like music files and whatnot). Once the user starts using it, it becomes, in many ways, a different machine than they took out of the box. Pretty much first thing a new user will do is modify it by installing additional software. That's the "smart" part.
What's the difference between a fake Twitter account and a real Twitter account? Even if the user is fake, the account is still real, right? Does it mean there's a fake Twitter, like Twittter.com, for example?

With food orders if you tip on a card presumably some of it gets to the cooks and kitchen staff as well.
If you presume that, you'll be wrong 99% of the time.
Yeah, so?
Mean, median, and mode are all types of averages.
Perhaps the "even dumber than that" segment of the population includes you.
