I’m pretty sure US uses chip and signature, not chip and PIN.  I’ve never been asked for a PIN for my CC.

It seems to me that once the customer complained to the server and the server wasn’t able to accommodate that the SERVER should be reporting it to the manager. And, if you’re looking to tip less, that’s the justification; the customer asked for something specific, the server shrugged it off.

.epub is also a zip container

Re: “Who’s to say what happens with those recordings?” If the sign on the car say that they are “for security” then that is the only use to which they should be put. The sign itself represents the “expectation of privacy” that the rider should have. Saying it is “for security” and then using it for any other purpose…

There are other options, such as storing on dropbox, that will preserve the video from theft (and seriously, mount a camera that requires more than a push and pull to extract the card).

While I generally agree with you that I don’t want to watch a video. Something like this where they are playing music and talking about it doesn’t lend itself well to a transcript. How are they going to indicate in a transcript what the music sounds like that the narrator is talking about?

Anyone who says “Make pizza yourself, it’s quicker than delivery” is lying to you. You can tell because the first step of making the pizza is, “Start your dough — yesterday.”

Came here for this, it’s 40% water by mass.

I think the idea is that moisture won’t get trapped between the bottom of the crust and the surface of the stone but it will between the crust and steel.  I have no idea if it’s actually true, though.

Except that in the very first example of the article, the camera WAS being used to exploit the passengers.  The issue isn’t that the drivers have security cameras.  It’s that the video footage isn’t being used only for security.

I expect to not be broadcast on twitch or to show up on selectively edited youtube videos. I expect that a camera presented as “for security” is used “for security” only.

Expectation of Privacy isn’t a Yes/No question. The question is How much privacy is it reasonable to expect in a situation.

I can find no evidence for your assertion that there were restaurant “milkshake” vendors that had to change their product name because they did not contain milk.

Way back in the day there was a canister for the CO2 and canisters for the syrup. The CO2 was used for all of the different sodas as well as plain carbonated water.

Not sure. The child hid the money under the menu and so at some level knew it was wrong.

I can find no evidence for this assertion.  Snope’s article from 2001 calls it false.

I didn’t read it that way.  I read it as being about volunteering for duties while at work (therefore paid) that aren’t part of your job.  No one is clocking out to make the coffee or shepherd the birthday cards around, but it isn’t part of the job and, according to the article, is harmful to long term advancement.

This article isn’t talking about tasks that are invisible but necessary for the business, which is what it sounds like you’re talking about (cable management is a big one here). This article is talking about tasks that are not related to the business but still need to get done such as picking up birthday cards and…

Urban myth.  The first three ingredients of the McDonald’s shake are:  Milk, sugar, Cream.

He may have come up with it independently but this new. See: “The Well Educated Mind” by Susan Wise Bauer, and “How to Read a Book” by Mortimer Adler.
