This seems like such a non-issue, I'm not sure why articles are written about tipping. Wait staff love tips because it gets them paid significantly more than if they worked a retail job. After visiting Europe, tips are necessary for go

I did this for my chemical engineering degree. ~2 years of Community college, I got 60 credits over the 3.5 years I was in school. I also worked a full time midnight shift job. Both were huge. The job gave me a heck of a story for my future

I've firmly started believing in the phrase Bitcoin not Blockchain and dismissing anyone who thinks we should be storing database data in a blockchain. Its 2018, we found its expensive and slow to use blockchain, don't store stuff

Thank you. Its unfortunate the early adopters spent much time understanding and educating people about currency while the most recent crowd is following the greed. Tether is the opposite of the problem that was being solved.

Idk, I buy burritos at taco bell with my Bitcoin Debit Card. I dont trust my local government's always inflating currency.

>Billions of Tethers were printed seemingly out of thin air and used to purchase Bitcoin. Do we know if it was BTC that was purchased? I have half a mind to think that people who were smart enough to buy decentralized and scare BTC are d

Bitcoin needs to disconnect from the 'cryptocurrency' and 'blockchain' buzzwords. Like it or not, Bitcoin is already used worldwide and is relatively stable if not positive. (No need to tell me of bandwagoners who bought

I have been explaining to newcomers that there is a difference between Bitcoin and everything else. Bitcoin has become a man-made institution, similar to fiat, marriage, courts, religion, etc... There are people around the world that believ

The whole 'Lean Startup' trend was such a feel good gimmick. Sure if you arent sure about your product and havent done any market tests, a minimum viable product is fine. However, I had/have a service that was already popular

I'm not sure any web dev is going to change their format because Firefox removed a feature. I've noticed my RSS content is scraped which makes gives me additional users. Removing RSS would hurt my website.

Recently my website was criticized for using the data on the food package rather than USDA data. I'm unsure what the 'correct answer' is, given they were off by 25% which is significant. I could add javascript so the user cou

Similar, I make a pretty boring product, but at home I'm building a dishwasher, a finance app, and I run a popular website. I wouldnt work for a defense contractor, but I have a high paying, 'boring' day job.

This makes the most sense. Consider how every industry can benefit from having a developer doing job automation, looking at data for optimization, or making new products. The demand is ferocious. I don't understand why developer wages

Why is it we believe these companies statements? Is the PR of fortune 500 companies bound to tell the truth always? I'm a capitalist, but I cannot deny that it is in the best interest of companies to hide and deny negative news.

My experience is that they push their products and require prime to buy them. It was good when I could get a laptop bag for 11 dollars. Now they flood their pages with their products and many require prime to buy. Amazon is turning into a c

What evidence do you want? They only have 5 accounts with the ability to downvote. This is why comments always have -4 with anything critical of apple.

This sounds beyond complex to manufacture. Especially at Fortune 500 levels. DIY? Well its going to be larger, hotter, more failures, and probably more expensive. There is a reason companies specialize.

Can someone do a test for willpower/hardwork? I think that would be a useful indicator. I was a B student, but I've accomplished more than A students now that I'm approaching my 30s.
