Yeah, it's a really confusing piece. He holds up Southwest in that one example as a shining star that proves all of his theories, when in reality, it only proves that airlines can get by without change fees and bag fees. But Southwest is as "bad" as anyone when it comes to jacking up prices when a flight is near sold out, and, in my experience, are more likely to have stopovers than other airlines.

As someone who actually flies, the existing system works amazingly well, and delivers a service at a surprisingly low cost. Undersold aircraft and regulated fares are great for business travelers who are price-insensitive, but virtually every "fix" he cites will cost people money.

Personally, I just wish some airline would test "the market" for a premium level of services (few more inches of elbow room is "premium", apparently) that doesn't cost 5x the money for 10% more space.
Theoretically maybe it's possible but look at what happened to Boston neighborhoods where a lot of homes started being rented to college kids. Especially the way the landlords don't really give a damn because they make enough profit that any fines they incur are just the cost of doing business. Much easier to have a simple, no exceptions rule than a complex schedule of fines and enforcement for violations.
In fact it does! The IRS just doesn't bother to go after you for it, because it's not worth the effort.
Think of it as buying a movie ticket vs a DVD if they can legally (and this can be done) structure the terms of sale as a life time lease they can impose restrictions on it.

Arguably this is easier in Europe since first sale doctrine isn't enforced by law in most countries iirc.

Looking at the dictionary definition of "crisis" I would not call this a "time of intense difficulty or threat of danger or a time when "important decisions must be made"unless the that decision.

There are plenty of real crisis around the world, right? The Japanese should be more concerned about how a certain area ahem Fukushima, is still killing our ocean.

That is a crisis.

When I was 25, I made the choice to quit my job as a hw engineer and travel the world. After a year, I decided to do sw instead. Haven't looked back since.

This is a problem tech could solve. I don't see what stops us from monetizing saving the reefs via charging for eco-friendly tourism in pristine ocean.
I don't get AirBnB at all. The concept is just downright creepy and has always been to me. It feels like you're flipping a coin when staying somewhere with respect to neighbours, cleanliness, and the area.

I much rather pay for a hotel where everything is 100% taken care of, and usually the prices are on par with AirBnB. There's no mental overhead with hotels. If it worked like Uber where the slightest hiccup gives you a full refund, then sure I'd put up with the hassle.
Not for lettuce, no. It has a short shelf life and doesn’t travel well.
1. This was United, not Delta. The Delta mention in my comment was their response to an industry incident

2. No one ASKED for any money. United was trying to get people to voluntarily bump by offering X - no one accepted (because the next flight didn't leave for a day). United should have realized that if they really wanted to get their employees on the flight & not have an international incident, they could go a bit higher...

3. Here's the rule:

> If the substitute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles (400% of your one-way fare, $1350 maximum).

All of this is out the window anyways with the Dao case since it wasn't even an overbooked flight - one with too many ticketed passengers - but one where they were trying to get employees to another airport (which they could have easily booked on another airline due to internal agreements).
The irony of the last line is, if the airline DIDN'T jack up the fares just before the flight sold out, it would be even more oversold than the airline that jacks up prices but fails to sell those last couple of seats at high cost. In fact, that high price is one way they keep a flight from being overbooked (or TOO overbooked). (though, on further reflection, if they overbook 5 seats on extremely expensive fares, then 'bump' the lowest-utility (==poorest) passengers for $200 in flight credit, they've managed to raise the fare for already-paid-for-seats)

>For example, do I think all people deserve cheap energy, personal transportation, and inexpensive plastic products? Yes. Do I think they deserve them at the expense of millions of people's lives/livelihoods? No.

Sorry for being nitpicky, but wouldn't that second group of people also "profit" from cheap energy, ect. because they are also part of "all people"? Then what is so inherently wrong about that situation? If ALL of us can be living a little bit better by SOME of us sacrificing, then isn't that what we should be doing, at least in a somewhat "equal" measure? Guess I'm just channeling my inner Spock a tad bit too much ;)

OpenStack really has a bunch of problems.

The big one is that OpenStack is about building and operating your own Rackspace; this is not something IT organizations can even hire for let alone carry off. The idea that they could/would/should was purely aspirational.

The others are that it's basically a mess - no two OS deployments will look the same - and that it has neither an operational advantage nor too much of a pricing advantage (50% for RHAT) over VMware - which is better integrated and much, much better from a admin experience and debuggability standpoint.

I looked hard at leveraging OpenStack for the service we were building but the underlying code was often cringetastic and somewhat naive. At some level if you run software as a service you can work around poor code quality - something friends from AWS have emphasized - but you can't throw it over the wall and have other people without large engineering staffs there to help run it - which doesn't work in the small. VMware is the opposite approach - the entire model and practices evolved out of arm's reach software sales and support. So naturally it works better.

I understand it's bad when people charge full game prices for something that's actually the first chapter in a series of paid DLC...

But why is DLC fundamentally bad? To me it seems to match the tick-tock-tock nature of engine development: build a game, spend years on an engine and content, price it at full price, then release a series of cheaper content-only products that use the same engine. Use that income to pay for next gen engine development.

The alternative is that developers can only release content if it's feature-length and using a next generation engine? That seems like a pointless demand.
1. Did you mean United and not Delta?
2. If what you said is true, then how is it that Delta is able to make their new maximum compensation $9,950, as stated in the second sentence of this article?
This is essentially the choice I made a couple years back. Vintageous isn't perfect but it's the best vim emulator I've used. Sublime is a great text editor on top of it.
While reading the article I was wondering, would things be better if they only bled the male horseshoe crabs? In mammals you theoretically need fewer healthy males than females to successfully produce the next generation. However, since horseshoe crabs fertilize the eggs once they have been laid, I'm not sure whether the same population dynamic is at play.

Many of the "old" airlines have filed bankruptcy several times, which gives you a sort of do-over on employee contract terms, pensions, etc. They've been able to shed debt that way and be more "new".

Southwest has some of the highest labor costs in the industry, having never filed bankruptcy.

As shows get bigger, there's a definite tendency for them to get more diffuse. There are a lot of economic incentives to grow, add a broader range of partners, etc. And before you know it they're about everything and nothing. Vendor shows have some natural resistance to getting too diffuse but there are still a lot of events I attend and I'll see some booth and think "What the heck are they doing here?"
I've recently switched from Sublime Text to Atom. I've used Sublime for a few years and was very unimpressed when I first installed Atom 2 years ago. For a long time it remained slow and clunky, but recently not only did they improve performance significantly but also made the whole user experience much easier and pleasant.

I suggest taking a look at Atom before spending money on Sublime. The number of plugins and extension is just enormous. You might get surprised.
But the quandry is that a more democratic EU requires constitutional change in most member states to cede sovereignty. The EU largely is the way it is as a result of a bunch of hacks making use of legislatures or even executives power to bind delegates of the executive under treaty to act in certain ways, or basically bind the legislatures to act in support of their executives.

The problem with this is that these hacks will continue to be used against the EU even when trying to reform them: It's easy to argue against handing sovereignty to an organisation with such a baroque decision-making process.

A lot of effort has gone into transitioning more powers to the EU parliament, but ultimately, it will be impossible to get where the EU ought to be in terms of which organs have which powers without very difficult processes in most of the member states.

I see no problem with overbooking, as long as they're transparent about it and compensate people. Overbooking is common in many industries. The article holds up hotels and car rental agencies as examples of how it's done better, but those overbook too. Car rental agencies in particular don't really know how many cars they'll have available at any given time because their contracts are so flexible, so your "reservation" is really just a planning tool so they can try to shuffle inventory around. (The TV documentary series "Seinfeld" did an episode on this.)

This seems to get back to an interesting discussion I had with someone early in the OpenStack efforts: as a developer OpenStack doesn't directly interest me because I don't care about infrastructure. Where OpenStack had a possibility to win was to provide options for infrastructure agnosticism: if I can build an app that runs "unmodified" on any OpenStack-based infrastructure, that has a possibility to save me potential time and money from having to port apps to/from/between AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, et al (assuming of course that it enough clouds actually adopt).

From that perspective, container solutions are delivering a better developer proposition than OpenStack has yet managed. There are ways now to build container clusters that you can ship in parallel to AWS and Azure with very little code difference.

In that earlier discussion I was skeptical of OpenStack precisely because of its focus on infrastructure first. Without the buy in of being a clone for a specific cloud structure (AWS compatibility over anything else, for instance) or the backing of traditional datacenter/server vendors (IBM who eventually started into BlueMix; Microsoft whose "on premises Azure" is now firing on most cylinders but was announced as a plan early in OpenStack's history), OpenStack didn't seem to have an obvious niche in the infrastructure world. The closest to a niche it might have had in its early life was the promise of application portability between clouds and that never quite seemed to be delivered.

I can tell it frustrates infrastructure folks to hear that containers have been eating OpenStack's lunch, but that is the very real case from the developer perspective. As a developer today, I go for containers and OpenStack is no longer relevant on my radar. Sure I can run containers on OpenStack, but containers abstract away more of the infrastructure and I have less and less care what cloud(s) is underneath the container cluster. When I asked OpenStack people what OpenStack might deliver to me that vision of application portability was tantalizing but never seemed quite finished; container technologies have actually delivered that.

The regulation says that airlines must offer at least this amount before they start involuntarily removing people. Airlines are free to offer more, they just can't stop at a lower amount.
"There are people who think he used the EU membership as a way of leverage against the military"

Those people are obviously not Turkish. The military, by its founding from Ataturk, gives ZERO damns about membership, in fact they were pretty much established to STOP various forms of state 'membership' including religious.
Most people also got too infrequently and have too few choices. I get on an airplane at least six times a year and that used to be much more frequent. Because of timing I have done most of my flying recently on Virgin which I fortunately loved (of course that option is gone soon because they got acquired by Alaska who I severely dislike). On the route I fly most my options come down to Virgin, Alaska and United. So at best If haver to fly there times to be able to make a somewhat educated decision about which airline I prefer. That's assuming that my schedule and availability even allowed all three as actual options. Only very few passengers fly that frequently. And now that's actually down to two choices. Given that lack of information and infrequent exposure it's almost impossible to make a decision based on anything but price and convenience of schedule. Even if I've flown a airline on a certain route, the experience on a longer route, especially internationally might still be completely different (and it frequently is). It's really hard for a market to properly function under such conditions.
I love and support the New Yorker, but this article is significantly below their typical standard of research and evidence for even opinion pieces.

Southwest is a great example that the current model is working. Don't want to pay baggage fees, and get nickeled and dimed for everything? Fly Southwest.

I frequently recommend them as the best domestic airline for people who don't fly enough to get airline status, and aren't willing to pay for first/business class travel. They've got a pretty good route network, and the difference between the highest tier passenger on a Southwest flight and the lowest tier passenger on a Southwest flight is far less than traditional carriers.

I hope the free market punishes the ultra-economy fares that traditional carriers are offering. Flying a traditional carrier on an economy ticket without status is already such a degrading experience. Hopefully passengers won't be willing to suffer further degradation, and will just switch their business to Southwest, Alaska or another carrier that doesn't offer ultra-economy fares.

There is also real competition occurring at many airports throughout the country. For example, Delta and Alaska Air are waging an all-out war in Seattle right now, with both airlines aggressively pursuing flyers in that market.

Now, I do think some additional regulation is necessary. The fact that airlines aren't responsible to take care of stranded passengers during weather delays is inexcusable, and increased fare transparency would help the competitive side of the marketplace. And I agree with the article that regulators should also be much more skeptical of mergers that decrease competition and establish de facto monopolies.
Most air travel is unethical in the current global warming situation, and it's growing at an alarming pace. Governments should try to reverse the trend ASAP.
Why is it unfair competition when you produce ships? That sounds absurd, is there a more detailed explanation?

I certainly have and do, and it is a pretty frustrating thing with which to deal. Thank goodness society is not bound by what government can do.

I think that's a pretty low standard for judging society's opinion on anything. You get a lot more feedback on what society thinks by examining the day to day transactions and exchanges we're all doing.
>1. This was United, not Delta. The Delta mention in my comment was their response to an industry incident

My mistake.

2. No one ASKED for any money. United was trying to get people to voluntarily bump by offering X - no one accepted (because the next flight didn't leave for a day). United should have realized that if they really wanted to get their employees on the flight & not have an international incident, they could go a bit higher...

Yes, but they don't have to offer any more. The truth is you don't get to choose if you are bumped from a flight they can simply bump you and the most you can sue for is the rate specified. Without a specified rate you can argue in court that "missing the flight cost me a multi-million dollar deal" or "I missed my grandfathers final moments" and potentially get awarded many thousands or millions of dollars. That risk likely would have resulted in a very different outcome. (probably the end of overbooked flights and increases in airline fares/stricter restrictions on missing flights to compensate)

>All of this is out the window anyways with the Dao case since it wasn't even an overbooked flight - one with too many ticketed passengers - but one where they were trying to get employees to another airport

That's something for his lawyers to look into of course, I have a feeling the 300K a year guys they keep on retainer who likely approved this policy have a good idea of how they can argue this was legal under current regulation. That or the legal department at United will have some openings soon.
