1) Who searches on "sausage" or "Sausalito"? I might search for 'sausage making quote' or 'Sausalito italian restaurant'. And while I type that I get faded type ahead in my search box and results popping up on the screen. Annoying. 2) As l

I think you're jumping the gun by using a loaded term like stealing. It may be restaurant policy to allow servers that discretion. Especially if that "discount" is appearing on the bill.

It sounds like you're saying users should have a mental model of how a computer works in order to be successful at using it as a tool. I disagree. How does my car work? I press on the gas and it goes. I press on the brakes and it stops.

From the comma in the title, I thought the article was about recognizing money isn't a guarantee of happiness. As in, "Say, "Fuck you" to money itself. And instead focus on living life (and running a company) that doesn't rely on a purely

I'm guessing not even the US. You don't go to a specialized HS (Hunter, Stuy, Bronx Sci) in NYC and graduate low in your class and get a scholarship. You're lucky to get into a school. MIT isn't looking for 12 people from the same HS, even
