Tipping after paying is normal. Tipping in foreign currency is not. If it’s that large of a tip, and you explain the conversion rate, I imagine most people would be thrilled. But if an unknown or average amount in OMR is the only tip you give at a restaurant, their first reaction may be anger, as they will be expecting an approximately 20% tip in US dollars.

Easy solution: just make products for owners of other such companies

The term was original essentially a synonym for anarchist, being coined by Joseph Déjacque. Modern American libertarianism broke from its roots and promotes very un-anarchist perspectives.

You are right. It’s hard to find good data on average percentages of earnings that go to workers vs owners, which would be more interesting/relevant to the post. Do you know how to find that?

There is not really much “AI written code” but there is a lot of AI-assisted code.

This was the first thing I thought of when seeing the prompt. I actually love this movie and have seen it several times, but the acting is abysmal.

A while ago I mentioned to a German friend that I was visiting Andorra and he asked me where that was. I bet there are plenty of Europeans who don’t know where San Marino is either.

TIL that is even a country

Arguably, I believe America is the oldest constitutional nation.
