I think one of the reasons is that ordering red/white wine in Italy will get you something palatable. While it's certainly possible to order a house red or a house white at many places in the US, it might be undrinkable. So there's more of a need to specify.

Similarly with coffee. If I order coffee in the afternoon in the US, chances are that I will get a pot that has been sitting on the hot plate for a couple hours. Specifying an espresso drink will at least ensure that it's fresh.

One question does YC == Y Combinator? In the TLDR, YC Core is renamed to "YC", and YC Group now consists of Y Combinator, YC Continuity, YC Research and the new YC MOOC. But I wasn't 100% clear whether the group Michael Seibel is the CEO of "YC" is the same as the component in the YC Group referred to as "Y Combinator".

It would have been a bit more clear (to me) if the group had been consistently referred to as "YC" if that's the new branding, so I'm guessing there are a lot of others like me who aren't certain as well.

I think the reason we aren't writing client code in Python yet is at least partially explained later in the article. Even if all browser vendors decided to adopt a new language (say Python) we would still have to support all the older versions around. That's why WebAssebmly is such a great innovation: there's one single compilation target and we can write code in any language suits our needs.
In economics, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Apple have what are called "monopolist rents" a form of "economic rent" which mean because of the nature of their product they get higher profits than they would in an efficient market.

A result is that the leadership of these firms are worth tens of billions of dollars in the case of Google (two leaders), Microsoft, Facebook). Instead of sharing the benefit of the "monopolistic rents" the leadership hire H1-B visas and also colluded with each other to keep tech labor rates low.

But do you consider "reasonably small" in relation to the magnitude of the posted limits? Do you drive 30 mph when the posted limit is 25? If not, you might be interested in "speeding ratios".

But in order to really fit the speeding analogy around animal suffering, you also have to live in a world where speedometers and radar measurement devices don't exist. You're speeding if anyone thinks you might be going faster than the limit, even if nobody can really know for certain.

We don't have any animal suffering meters, or posted limits. We know a limit exists, but we apparently don't know where exactly to draw the line. Clearly, a puppy mill that abuses its livestock and runs pit fights will get the operator thrown in jail. But a battery farm that slices the beaks off of chickens and crams them into cages too small for them to stand in will get ag-gag laws that protect the owners from both punishment and scrutiny. Dogs are cuter than chickens, and less marketable as food, you see. In that world--the world we live in--a suffering per kilogram ratio is just pissing into the wind.

I didn't suggest a simple strategem, I suggested a way of thinking about how to dissuade someone who is willing to burn you or things or people you care about to gain something. How you implement what I said will vary from person to person. It can be Machiavellian if you're a student of the Jack Bauer school of persuasion, but for normal people it's just negotiation.

Everybody has that ledger in their head when they make a decision but what's on that ledger can vary dramatically. If you want to both dissuade an irrational actor and keeping things civil, then you need to figure out what's on that ledger and whether you have a way of adjusting those items, maybe by offering a more palatable (to you) alternative, or by changing the perception of the costs/benefits, or by actually changing the costs/benefits, and so on.

Your hypothetical robber would need to conduct labor-intensive physical surveillance operations in order to ascertain which houses on which streets had big screen TV boxes outside on their respective trash days. Big screen TV purchases are rare events due the cost and longevity of said devices, so this becomes a statistical sampling problem: One may need to spend several months driving through target neighborhoods on their respective trash days in order to discover a house with a big screen TV box outside it, at which point your hypothetical robber has done two things:

1. Engaged in suspicious behavior that increases the risk of arrest.

2. Spent more in food, fuel, vehicle maintenance, and opportunity costs than the expected value of a stolen big screen TV (which would sell well below its retail price because of its questionable provenance).

Let's say instead, for the sake of argument, that consumers must register their big screen TV purchases with the government. (Some governments, notably the UK, use such registrations to tax consumers in order to pay for public broadcasting.) If such a registry were publicly searchable, your hypothetical robber could conduct their surveillance from the safety and anonymity of the parking lot of the local Starbucks or McDonald's. This significantly lowers the robber's surveillance costs/risks, as they no longer have to spend hours driving fruitlessly through random neighborhoods, only to be ratted out by some nosy busybody itching to call the police whenever the least little thing is out of place on their cul-de-sac. Furthermore, a sufficiently intelligent robber may automate said searches, further lowering their costs/risks.

Now, given the above, let's say some poor sod is off on holiday, washing their cares away with mojitos and all-you-can-eat buffets, when your hypothetical robber steals their big screen TV---only to use it to commit some assault the day our rum-soaked homeowner returns to the good ol' USA (who collapses into bed without noticing the theft). And by "assault" I mean something REALLY heinous, like setting it up in front of a daycare playing Rick Astley on infinite repeat with the volume at 11. Think of the children! When the cops investigate, of course they will search the big screen TV registry and find said homeowner, who in the midst of the DTs discovers he has no alibi.

And so it goes.

Value created has its own sets of problems. Customers with very basic use cases are not entitled to preferential pricing - i.e. Microsoft is not interested in offering big discounts to people who use the Office Suite as a "TV typewritters". Rather they should select a tool that better matches their needs.

On the other side of the spectrum, "value added" can be used as an excuse to charge more money to wealtier customers. Using the same example above, Microsoft should not be able to charge a million dollars for an Excell license that is used by financial wizards to make billion-dollar decisions. The potential is there in the tool, but most of the value added comes from the expertise of the user.

It's reasonably accurate. IMO, MS grew because of DOS.

They were hoping Gary Kildall's C/PM would be the OS for the IBM PC, and only leveraged DOS "to save the language business."

> It's not unethical to instruct my browser not to download them any more than it is unethical to avoid the lady giving out free samples at the grocery store.

The difference is that you're not having someone sweep the grocery store and remove all free sample ladies before you enter it. Ignoring a free sample lady is akin to ignoring an ad on page.

The primary difference though is that the lady doesn't take a photograph of you, follow you around the store noting everything you stop to look out or put in your cart, and then follow you out to the parking lot and go to the next store with you.

I'm not saying that what content owners or advertisers do is right or ethical, just that at it's core blocking the ads is unethical as well.
We may someday talk about “discovering a design” instead of “creating a design”
If they want to resort to that, they're entirely within their rights to do so. I have no right to demand they serve me their content. However, I have every right to make a polite request, and to download the response they send to me. They, however, have no right to tell me what to do with that response. If they want to give me a content-free response (your 402), they can do that. But no one does (the closest is sites like Forbes which use JS to block the content if you're blocking ads; personally I just don't go to Forbes any more).
IF they ever get updated. The recent history of Mac and Macbook Pro updates leaves some doubt as to whether there will ever be an update ever again.

On the positive side, even with a three year extended warranty, you can now—whenever your macbook wears out—go to an Apple store and buy the same model with the same tech inside for the same price that you paid years ago for the original model. It creates more stability and reliability of expectation than any computer buyer has ever had before.

Not when you compute actual tax rate as opposed to marginal. For example a single person in SF making $250,000 a year will pay 35-40% of her income to taxes, depending on how much sales tax she pays. [1]

Not OP, but I dislike many things about your omnibus packages. I hate packages that install into /opt (thanks for the extra tld). I hate that it's 900+MB of completely redundant junk—nginx? check, postgres, check, and entire ruby? git? curl? All of those are on my system already.

That said, I switched to it after maintaining a hand installed version and I love how I don't have to run rails schema upgrades by hand any more. I used to put off upgrading gitlab for months because it was such a pain and now I don't have to think about it at all. Rails devs could learn a lot from php devs in that regard (upgrading wordpress is absolutely trivial to upgrading gitlab).

So yeah, I love the omnibus package since it means I don't have to think about it any more; I hate the omnibus package because it's a huge redundant monolith and pure crap from the point of view of a Debian package purist.
