In parts of the world where tipping is not expected (like Australia where wait staff are paid a minimum, livable wage), the software still expects you to tip. I deliberately don't tip unless the service is exceptional and then I will hand the cash to the waiter, not to the cashier or the owner.

In Australia, for many years the only streaming service available was Foxtel (via satellite), thanks to dear old Uncle Rupert's special deal with the government. Then Netflix came along and all of a sudden there were multiple streaming services. When we first got Netflix we dumped Foxtel as it was twice the price and still had issues with having to watch at specific times to see certain programmes (unless you used their rebadged DVR service). Also Foxtel had resorted to ad revenue to bolster their bottom line resulting in a service that really was not much better than Free to air TV. So now many of the streaming services are trying to steal sports from the free to air networks, which I predict will result in much anguish. Also having such a fragmented market means that in order to access favourites you need to have multiple services. I believe I might be looking to cut down on some of them.

In Australia , noncompetes are illegal as it is an illegal restriction of trade. If a previous employer wants you to not start work immediately, they have the option to put you on "gardening leave" i.e. they pay you for 2-3 months not to work. Many of them will put staff straight onto "gardening leave" when their notice is handed in and the rest of the business starts contacting clients to inform them of what has happened. Of course my experience of this is from the IT perspective, however I did work for a Stockbroking company where this was common practise.

My son recently deleted his reddit account along with the ~16k posts he had made (using a script). He got an email from Reddit offering to restore all the posts, and when he rejected that offer, received a more concerning email that, according to the EULA that everyone agrees to when signing up, any content he had made belongs to them and they have the right to restore it. At this point, he responded that under the "Right to be forgotten" laws, he had a right to remove them and that any posts that were restored after this was in violation. He also pointed out that Reddit could be up for $6 per post per day if they decided to restore the posts. They have since gone very quiet.
