I think the solution would be to create a system where:

1) we have a minimum amount to hit before the marginal shipping cost is $0,

2) build the shipping cost into our margins, and

3) advertise that the marginal cost is $0.
I'm under no obligation to allow network traffic someone wants me to allow, even if that's how they choose to make money.
I still don't believe that direct shipping is three times the cost of brick and mortar fulfillment.

That's probably a figure for companies which already have brick-and-mortar stores and also ship from those stores. Like Safeway. Companies with big automated fulfillment operations, such as Amazon, shouldn't incur such high costs.
Whats funny is that Google Wave was basically a direct predecessor to these types of apps and they killed it before the technology really had a chance to catch up to the vision.
We just take the middle ground.

We charge one rate for shipping internationally, and one for shipping domestically. The charge is for the minimum shipping cost we have. We don't recover the full cost of shipping, but it's good enough for us.

I got hired at my current gig through a who's hiring ad. Our recruiter had sent me a message on LinkedIn, which I basically ignored, but when I saw the Who's Hiring post, I reached out and was eventually hired.

I've even tried doing a "who's hiring" post myself, but it didn't produce strong candidates.

I wrote a blog post once about how the web is the new presentation layer for the desktop, that this is not necessarily a bad thing, and that a desktop OS (e.g. a Linux distro) should just fully embrace it by implementing a desktop that runs 100% via web technologies. Local and remote web apps could coexist as first class citizens, etc. I basically argued that HTML+JS+CSS renderers are the new X and that HTTP(S) is the new X11 protocol-- or at least that these parts occupy an analogous position in the stack to what X originally was. (They are technically quite different of course.)

The web is the OSS GUI stack with the largest, most diverse, and most active developer community, and with it you get to ride on the coattails of multi-billion dollar companies like Facebook and Google that have significant investments in the web.

I got DDOSed and threatened. I got some of the most insane all-caps slobbering and frothing at the mouth feedback I have ever seen in all my years of interacting with any developer community. You'd think I went into a conservative church and gave a talk about evidence for abortion in the Bible or something.

The vast majority of this came after the article got posted to Reddit /r/linux. Most comments there amounted to "web sucks and JS coders are weenies and next year will be the year of the Linux desktop as soon as we finish the next rewrite of (insert favorite project)." Intelligent criticism is good but the vast majority of the comments I read responded to none of the core points of my post and amounted to not much more than developer community religious bias.

I ended up taking the post down for two reasons:

(1) I got sick of getting DDOSed and it wasn't worth it to me to fight just to get an off the cuff opinion out there. I am not deeply invested in this and have better things to do.

(2) This convinced me that the "desktop Linux" community is toxic in the extreme and should be avoided. This includes avoiding providing any input whatsoever to that community. Also caused me to become a lot less loyal to Linux in general, since it's a community full of people who respond to any opinion differing from their own with absurd amounts of hate and vitriol.

I remember articles like this about Gen-X (my generation) 15 years ago. I think it's just the case that people in their early 20's usually don't cook. I know I didn't. But as I and many of my friends moved into our 30's, we discovered the joy and satisfaction of cooking at home. Now my wife and I cook at home quite a bit. I'm sure we still go out to eat way more than our parents' generation, but we also use ingredients from local farmers' markets in our cooking quite often, which our parents didn't do really.

My point is, millennials are young; young people don't cook. This isn't a big surprise.
Several commentators here seem unaware that "open platform" and "open source" are distinct concepts. From the Wikipedia article on "open platform" [1]:

"In computing, an open platform describes a software system which is based on open standards, such as published and fully documented external application programming interfaces (API) that allow using the software to function in other ways than the original programmer intended, without requiring modification of the source code. Using these interfaces, a third party could integrate with the platform to add functionality.[1] The opposite is a closed platform."

An open platform can be closed source. A good example is Microsoft Windows.

Bit of a summary, from the article:

"So what’s the real story here? Yes, Millennials are shifting their spending toward restaurants and bars and away from grocers. But it’s not an unprecedented shift. They’re simply returning to their mid-aughts levels of restaurant spending."
As a millennial myself, my beef isn't with groceries, it's with the once-a-week, huge shopping trip. I much prefer to make a few small trips a week if it's on my commute. I used to live near a small, independent grocery and would usually stop in on my walk home from the train and grab stuff to cook that night.

Well, I'm a millenial. Without even reading the article, I'm wondering who in the hell chooses to drive, park, walk half a mile inside a flourescently-lit building, stand in line, pay, load a car, drive back to a house, and unbag groceries when all of that can be avoided by using a computer.

A better question is why we still have food warehouses that would be better operated by robots than people.

As a high-earning hyper-urban techy millenial (Brooklynite / software engineer) who doesn't particularly enjoy cooking, I'm wondering where the value proposition for groceries is when I can order from a huge variety of nearby restaurants, who will deliver hot, cooked food to my door every night for about $20/meal.

Considering there tends to be zero food waste with this option, I'm not sure I'm saving money by shopping for food, especially when I assign a value to my free time, which I like to estimate at half my hourly rate in calculations like this.
Given that there is forensic evidence that led infosec/intelligence institutions to conclude Russian hackers did it, I would say the other options are not equally likely.
You need to be more specific.

What counts as "small scale manufacturing?" I build sensor products and controllers in my basement and sell them direct. Is that small scale enough?

There are thousands of 2-5 person machine shops turning out thousands of small parts per day. Is that what you mean?

Fine-furniture makers, small boat builders, custom farm equipment fabricators may build 5 - 500 pieces per year, is that closer?

You're asking an open-ended question. Manufacturing has always interested me and I'd love to get involved in a conversation, but right now I don't really understand your motivation.
>What if you allow ads but dont click on them and dont buy their products ?

Irrelevant. That's like saying you can't click on a billboard so what's the point?

Not all ads are direct response. Many display and programmatic ads are awareness plays, which pay publishers by the impression or thousands of impressions.

Yes, you're right, Intel has a lead time too. Which means the difference in shelf date between Intel's chips and Apple's laptops is probably roughly representative of the difference in lead time starts too.

No idea, but I would speculate wildly the MacBook has a longer lead time than Intel CPUs do, the laptops being a more consumer product and for various other reasons.

Either way, access != volume, Apple can't ship Intel CPUs until it has them. But, it's clear you understand the issues. And so I assume it is obvious that having a laptop on the shelves with a chip that is less than 2 months old is not even realistic, right? You're not arguing that either company actually could have used Kaby Lake, right?

another problem is that you can't just upgrade when a new version comes out, you have to reinstall as if nothing happened, it was a turn off for me.
Going by the comments here, I am surprised by how few people seem to use Linux on their laptop! Maybe selection bias due to the thread topic?

Of course, not everything will work, but for me, they often fall into the nice-to-have category of features, not a must-have. Maybe my preferences are not shared widely.

Been using Debian unstable and Xmonad for a long time, and it's hard to try and use anything else now. Most dev tools work natively ... no funky VMs to emulate, except Windows for Edge browser testing ... all works really well.

I don't know about you guys, but I love grocery shopping. Going to Ralphs and Costco is almost always an enjoyable experience for me (usually only hampered by dealing with parking). I believe you can use Google's delivery service to order from the latter, but I haven't tried it yet.
Maybe they could actually build grocery stores close to where millennials want to (and can afford) to live? My nearest "grocery store" is a Target over a mile away.

> At the same time, I would argue more people mean "there isn't one or more people at the top profiting from ownership" when they say non-profit.

Yes, and this is a bad usage of the term, because whether or not there are people "at the top" profiting from ownership has nothing to do with whether the company is structured as a non-profit or a for-profit company. People "at the top" can profit from a non-profit, and you can run a for-profit company without "people at the top profiting".

It's unfortunate that the term we use to refer to companies which cannot distribute dividends is "non-profit", but it's really bad to project conceptions of what those companies should act like onto them simply based on how the term sounds in common vernacular.

And again, whether you are using the term with its precise meaning or with its colloquial one, non-profit status has no impact on a company's margins:

> Presumably by doing everything Lyft or Uber do but without the need to ever pay out to investors.

"Paying out investors" does not impact their margins. They can pay out investors from their profit margins (if they have any), but the fact that non-profits don't have any investors to pay out doesn't mean that their margins magically go up.

And, yes, it's true that you never need to pay out investors if you never have any. Of course, if you never have any investors and your competitors all do, you're starting off at a huge disadvantage.

How to Scale Your Startup Part 3: Organizational Structure
It is not about the technology platform. You still have to dedicate resources to ensure feature parity across both OS systems. When MS starts selling Teams to huge enterprise customers (e.g., Walmart, Ford, GM etc.) that are on 99% Windows platform and the feature request and pressure starts building, where do you think the resources would go ? It is not MS fault, it is the nature of their business. Windows based enterprises are their bread and butter and that's what they will prioritize. I work for an enterprise Cloud company, and we prioritize IE because of this reason.

I suppose that technically-speaking a Walmart (or Target) is not a "supermarket." But that seems like a distinction without a difference in terms of making statements about how a given demographic is moving away from grocery shopping.
