What are your hobbies?

Indomiton Tech Is Allowing Businesses to Overcharge You in Tips

This is strange.

Isn’t the idea that servers knowingly make a gamble that they can generate more from tips (performance) than less than minimum wage?

So if you order a drink that costs $1000, the server should get $200 for that?

Indomiton Ask HN: Has Journaling Improved Your Life?

> Having to write it out means I actually have to think about it and put everything somewhere in a context

This is an important point.

I noticed that people have a serious lack of awareness in how significantly their thoughts/actions "drift", with respect to how they relate to a plan/belief/idea. In the short term, its indistinguishable from being intentional. In the long term, you're wondering how you ended up so far from what you had originally planned or believed (and that's if you even have the awareness to notice the change).

This seems to primarily occur with those "mirco" thoughts and patterns; interestingly enough, these are the ones which are most susceptible to being influenced by our emotional state.
