That's absurd.

If you want your statements, whether in text or verbal, to be taken in the correct context, it is up to you as the originator of those statements to provide and ensure the context. If you don't you're at the whim of other people when they do. If you can't ensure that you can adequately provide that context, you shouldn't give that statement. Nobody exists in anyone else's head. Make definitive, thoughtful statements instead of juvenile ones aimed for shock value and this doesn't happen.

Pewdiepie went for the shock value and the views, and it contractually bit him in the ass.

> A mere text is not a hateful statement, text has no intentions or feelings, it cannot hate. The person writing the text or creating the text can.

Do you really feel that people don't understand that words and text are not sentient beings? Sure, words cannot actively hate, but they can be hateful.
> Most software should aim for simplicity though, I am interested in using your software to pay my bills then get back to reddit, I don't want to learn a complex system.

Software complexity should match the complexity of the problem space. The problem today is that the trend is to make oversimplified software. I guess it's fine if it lets you pay your bills, but maybe a little more complex software would let you earn more money to pay those bills with, by expanding the amount or complexity of things you're able to do.

So you turn it off, and half the web stops working for you because websites don't want to serve you content unless their ad networks receive your unique hardware id from some mandatory hardware TPM?

Then, since a TPM is effectively mandatory once the web can't be used without it, all media content can be DRM'd with less customer push-back.

I get that the web is a mess, but is this the best idea anyone can come up with to fix it? And does this actually fix it?
I realize I'm not the first person to come up with most ideas I have. I don't mind.

You started with general pricing arguments with hostile language without providing numbers to support - making generalizations without that data is useless, right? How is a reader supposed to take those statements? It leads to using your experience statement (I offer high performance, managed, HA hosting to selected clients) to make judgements on the comment.

That's vague. AWS also powers huge websites and Amazon is recommending Aurora as the "default choice" for most workloads.[1] There are certainly significant architectural differences but I would say we can definitely make a direct practical comparison.

If you want disk, as in spinning rust, I think it's going to remain that way for a long time. For some reason cloud providers don't like to offer disk at a reasonable price. I suspect it might be because it's not actually a single disk but space on something like a RAID10 SAN, where costs are higher since it inherently requires more hardware.

Personally, I settled with colocation. I pay $60/mo + $2k one-off for the initial hardware + say $150/5y/4TB HDD, which, for 80TB of storage over 5y comes out to a total of ~$88/mo, or $0.001/GBmo. Even if I was to store 3 copies of everything instead of doing erasure coding, my costs are roughly half of what Backblaze B2 charges. And my disks are fully online block storage, not necessarily object storage.
I don't understand "X for Y" businesses such as:

- Kudi: "PayPal for Africa"

- WaystoCap: "Alibaba for Africa"

- Symple: "Venmo for business payments"

Can't PayPal, Alibaba or Venmo just target these customers themselves? Duplicating these efforts seems like a huge waste of resources...

I worked in a callcenter doing software/dev stuff, and would sometimes talk to the folks handling calls. I got in trouble for this, because they were supposed to talk to their manager for requests and such, and I'd occasionally fix stuff.

it was a west coast company that moved most operations to the east coast. however, the manager was still on the west coast, and wasn't seeing the day to day issues. In one major instance, I remember seeing that the initial 'customer info' screen was taking a LONG time to load. Like...30-40 seconds. In some cases, it was only a few seconds, but for important clients, it was taking a long time. They could vamp and chat for a bit, but it was getting worse.

The agents were hitting a webserver in california, and pulling HTML back, across a private network, and... it was a LONG time for older clients. It was pulling up the entire client history. For important clients - who did a lot of business - it was pulling back megs and megs of data.

When I looked under the hood, the data was being repeated - an entire block of data was being duplicated inside HTML comment tags - someone had put those in for debugging stuff and never got rid of it. So we were pulling back, say, 35 meg when maybe only 18 was needed. I simply deleted the commented info - it had not been touched in 6 months - commented the reason in the svn commit log, requested a new push go out, and the next day things were hugely faster.

I got my ass kicked. I "went behind someone's back" (untrue) and "jeopardized production systems" (untrue). Other people had seen the code and it was pushed out via normal process. It was simply the original developer didn't like that I'd highlighted something he'd forgotten to do. :(

I then angled for actually using gzip compression but was shot down at the time (no, "there's a bug in IE6 with gzip compression and printing" or something like that), even though the gzip would have brought this down to under 1 meg, and every call would have been 'up' in under 4 seconds.

We were further shielded from ever talking to CSRs, because they "might overload us with requests". It was (and still is) a bizarre rationale. :/
I really liked throwing frisbee, unfortunately these days I have neither place nor company to do this.

People usually take the stance of "it's just ripping of that other original company's idea" but it's very hard to make a business succeed and grow it, wherever it is, much more in the harsher overall conditions Africa generally presents.

I've been party to discussions like this, I know how it goes. Once you're shoved in a small room indefinitely, all of your possessions and shoes taken so you don't kill yourself, and had questions dumped on you, a lot of these cute actions people are suggesting are pretty ridiculous. A seriously stupid move would be to try something like erasing your data, or trying to mislead the offers would simple prolong the experience. You get that treatment even if you haven't done anything wrong, god knows what happens if you have.
> then called it through your operating system interface, then you _might_ be fine

Might, exactly. Depending on various courts accepting there is a loophole in GPL, and my layman understanding is that there isn't. Skimming GPLv2 I don't see them differentiating in derivative works between those that use compile time linking and those that use mechanisms like CLI. I'm weary of bringing after the fact constructs to justify something that GPL doesn't talk about. And after all how is CLI that much more different than dynamic linking - CLI is merely an interface that is subjectively a bit more friendly in certain situations but this imo shouldn't a have a bearing in legal discussions.
The law is intentionally vague on what "circumventing" means. That's so that:

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I agree with your general point. The trend in the last ~10 years of simplifying UIs did a lot of good; as low an opinion as I have of Apple, they deserve a lof of credit for spearheading and popularizing this trend. But for whatever reason, people are unable to understand the concept of trade-offs and flipped from "all power, no usability" to systematically ignoring the value of "ability to do custom things with your computing devices". The mantra seems to have become: every design decision should be made in favor of the user being a perpetual neophyte, no matter what the costs to the value and capability of the system. Systems that allow for gently increasing competence create the most value for the user, but we're stuck in a shitty low-utility equilibrium where it's easier to market systems where you can do ~100% right off the bat. The rub is that this was achieved by lowering the value of 100%, not making it easier to achieve.

There's an alternative which satisfies both constraints: simplify UIs for the most common use cases while still allowing access to arbitrary amounts of capability for those who want it. There's a reason that every personal computer in my family runs on some flavor of Ubuntu: the default GNOME setup is 50x easier to use than any Windows computer[1] for people like my dad, who's a non-savvy enough user that he still struggles with copy and paste. Yet, it still allows the motivated to Google around and do things like change a single file in a theme's assets folder to make your panel transparent, something I actually did back in college when I cared more about things like themes.

[1] Note that I'm talking purely about the OS itself as an illustrative example of my point: having to be careful and buy a computer without hardware compatibility issues is a separate issue and is an actual pain in the ass that very reasonably prevents many people from following my example and switching their family to Linux. I just did it because installing Linux once every few years was a hell of a lot less work for me than debugging Windows over the phone once a week.
My kid said that too. I bought him a mirrorless camera, pretty decent one, about $2K with a 18-55 (18-50?) and an 18-200.

He used it for a while and then then stopped, he uses a full frame Canon body (5DIII) instead.

I really really don't get the appeal of mirrorless. Yeah, it's smaller if you are out in bright daylight and you have an f5.6 lens. Not so much if you have a f1.4, 1.8, 2 lens, those have to be big to let in the light. So you have a big fat lens on a slightly smaller body and you give up an optical viewfinder.

I shoot sports. Mirrorless is a joke in bad taste for sports. You are forced to do burst because you can't time your shots and now your workflow sucks because you are deleting 98% of your shots. My keeper rate with a 5DIII or a 1DX is 60-80% if I do my part, which I usually do.

-I do this from time to time to test one-off service/support docs prior to shipping them off to my customers.

(I work in the marine industry; when a customer has a problem, he's often way out on the high seas, outside of even helicopter range - so, effectively, if whatever issue he's facing cannot be solved with what he's already got on board and some detailed instructions, he's SOL.)

After breaking down the solution (hopefully, we're able to isolate the problem!), I bring all the required hardware, software, scripts and my first draft for the solution document to someone Not Into Automation & Control(tm) - say, the cafeteria or cleaning staff and ask them to work their way through it.

It never ceases to amaze me how many things we just take for granted after working in a field for a few years. ("Oh, but surely it is self-evident that..." "F--k no, it isn't!")

Result: Someone not at all involved in the day-to-day management of our products feel a much stronger attachment to the company and what we do to stay in existence; a customer gets a procedure which is so detailed, they can have anyone do it; I get to sleep well as I know the tasks sent offshore are as detailed and correct as I can possibly make them - and everybody is better off. At least I like to think so.

>Many smaller towns internationally do not require an address line

Citation needed. I've sent mail all over the world, and the only place I've seen where you can get away with that is Ireland. It's actually famous for this. Unless you're talking about some really backwater developing nations, every nation I've sent mail to does require an address line of some kind. However, in the UK, there are a lot of funny-looking addresses in the more rural areas. They have an address line, but it's really just the name of some hamlet or house or something, then they give the name of some farther-away but larger town, and finally the name of some main town/city where the mail is first routed. But they also have a detailed postal code that can route things by itself. Out of reasonably-developed nations, Ireland is the one that really stands out for having an antiquated postal system, but it does seem to work fine for them. It's also different and more modern for addresses within Dublin, where they do have a (very short) postal code.

The only other place where I've seen a place where you don't need a street or house number is for addresses at Kibbutzes in Israel.
> Are you suggesting that a liberal employee should not be allowed to quit an anti-abortion company?

Quitting is different from firing. There is a huge power differential between an employee and an employer in the US. YMMV in the EU.

That said, should an employer be able to fire an employee for political views? Depends. IMO, if the business is separable from the politics, then no.

Politics don't matter if you make brake pads or run a hobby shop. They do matter if it's a brand based around personality.

Why doesn't every apartment rent for $1500 per month?

Because people aren't willing to pay that for every apartment. Because of this, every real estate market has a ceiling with regards to how much can be charged for rent.

If Lil Bow Wow goes on tour at the same venues as Eminem, will the tickets cost the same? No because people are willing to pay more for Eminem tickets. If someone tries to charge as much money to see Lil Bow Wow as they do for Eminem, a lot of tickets would go unsold. They would lose money and next time, they won't make the same mistake.

That's the market at work.

The problem with going to court is precedent. The Sioux don't want the court to rule in favor of the government. That would set precedent about the government's ability to force the exchange of native land for fiat currency.

The problem is that in the west private ownership carries with it a right to destroy. If the army corps wanted to build a wind farm on the plot, there wouldn't be a problem. They want to build an oil pipeline over the water supply.

If a disaster were to occur, there is court precedent for abdicating the company of any responsibility for cleanup.[0] The present administration's Indian Affairs appointee wants to preserve this privatization agenda at all costs[1], so there's even less likely recourse if damages should occur.
