The overarching issue is that profit trumps everything else.

I don't think Etsy "allowed noise". It's more that becoming a stick-on-folksy tat [1] bazaar was infinitely more profitable than trying to be a genuine source of lovingly crafted artisanal hand-mades.

Etsy seems to have enough users who are just fine with this.

I wonder if the real story is that other sources of tat have become more competitive and more widely known. Maybe there is no mass exodus of outraged craft buyers - Etsy's customers are simply shopping for the same things elsewhere, and paying less for them by cutting out the middlesite.

Etsy's profits didn't seem unduly harmed when they opened up their market, so the exodus theory seems unlikely.

I don't know about all of the USA, but here in Maine we have something similar. Most of the land in New England is privately held (because people settled here so long ago compared to the west), but people are still more or less free to roam about it. So long as you're actually out in the woods and not chilling in somebody's back yard, you're in the clear. Landowners can prohibit certain uses - hunting, foraging, etc., or even any trespassing - but the default is for land to be open, any restrictions must be clearly posted, and I believe that there are tax incentives for keeping the land open.

If you like to travel and fly a few times a year, being near a major airport may not be justifiable financially but removes so many pain points from the process. I definitely travel more than I would if it was more difficult.

I grew up in a small town far from any airport and traveled internationally regularly. We either drove 50 miles to a small regional airport, which meant we'd have layovers and connections flying almost anywhere (more chances for lost luggage!), or we drove three+ hours to a big airport with expensive parking. Landing after a long international flight and having to get in the car and drive for three hours is a terrible way to end a trip.

These days I live within a 30 minute cab ride of LGA or JFK. The availability of flights and the ease of getting to and from the airport makes a huge difference in how annoying it is to fly. Cheap early morning flights don't require pulling an all nighter, there are direct flights to so many cities, and the wheels-down-to-hot-shower-and-beer-at-home time is so short.

Windows 8.1 is garbage compared to Linux for development, but when I was a student I spent most of my time using it for web stuff so I could live with it. I should totally buy a wacom tablet so I can start doodling again.

Haha yeah...

Singapore is a big problem. The network there is so fragmented. Last I checked, Singtel owns a large portion of Singapore's networks but won't peer with certain ISPs or anyone peering with certain ISPs. This meant a Singapore user trying to communicate with a Singapore server sometimes needs to be routed through Hong Kong or another exchange before returning back to Singapore.

Don't forget SoftLayer's network in Asia. It's a real hit or miss on residential ISPs. One time a client of ours in Seoul on SK was being routed through Japan to hit SoftLayer Hong Kong. What is usually 40ms latency from Seoul to Hong Kong turned into 90ms of latency with a higher chance of packet loss during peak hours (for those who aren't familiar with Asia network, all countries are connected via submarine cables which really makes it expensive to expand bandwidth between countries. During peak internet usage you really can sometimes experience the packet loss unless you pay more. Expect higher operation costs in Asia especially since many central IX countries are currently experiencing power shortages).
The constant threat of veto due to this has repeatedly shut down legislation on this a number of times now. It's was overruled and vetoed once already.

Our main problem is that Brownback, refuses to budge on it. There are also quite a few of our state legislators that own fill as Schedule S corps and therefore pay no state income tax, they have no reason to even try and repeal it.

Many of the staunch far right were ousted, but we have a long way to go. We currently have 1 month to find $800m and Brownback refuses to even put the tax exemption on the table, which would raise about half of our shortfall.

Most likely, we'll have higher regressive taxes (again) next year. For example lookup Kansas' food tax rate, it's one of the highest in the nation.
I would bet if they could prove that that sale materially harmed the preservation and management they could possibly sue successfully. That said, there are states where the public grounds that allow hunting and fishing suck due to mismanagement, and people go to private bodies of water and fields instead. Just because it's public doesn't mean taxpayers actually get what they're owed.

Yeah, most of the grocery stores in my corner of Maine have an artisanal cheese section too. But they wrap them all in plastic wrap and the inventory doesn't turn over so it all tastes like crap.

Plus, if you look at the labels, half of the cheeses that are presented as artisanal are actually made by a cheese factory in southern Wisconsin.

All that said, there are a number of folks making brilliant local cheeses in Vermont and Upstate NY, but I find those at the boutique cheese store on the coast, and even their employees often don't know anything about what they're selling. Not sure who's fault that is though.

Either way, I miss France and not just for the cheese. Gastronomically it was simply easier to find high quality produce and AOC protected regional delicacies. And that's not saying they don't have crap too (oh, I remember Lidl), but there was a sense of cultural pride around certain foods that is simply absent in the US outside of hipsters in Vermont and California (which I am mostly likely a part of).

He made a good case that the creditors were culpable and therefore must release Greece from its debt.
Morally it's on those who give out loans to make sure that they can be repaid. It's wrong that Greece took these huge loans as well, but also it's wrong to suggest that they have to pay them back. Everyone has the option to default when they are unable to pay and this was clearly the situation for Greece (and probably Spain and Italy, maybe even UK soon enough).

If the laptop is in your lap are you not hunched? Neck looking down a lot.

On my first employer's onboarding training we had a full 4 hour session by the company's health & safety officer on how to use our chair and desk, and I've found that extremely useful over the past 15 years.

Some takeaways that I've kept with me:

* Keep the top bezel of the screen level with your eyes. I.e. no bending next to see top of screen, and use eyes to look/scan down, or neck a bit.

* Most office chairs have a knob under where you sit and a latch to pull out on the back allowing inclination/declination/free movement. Set latch to free movement then twist this the knob to a setting where you're lying back in the chair in a free-balance position - equilibrium easy to find. I like to leave me chair in that position.

* Fortune 500 type companies spent a lot of money trying to avoid being sued. White-label chairs are commonplace and far higher quality than alternatives.

* Desks can be adjusted or swapped out for alternatives.

* Consult your health & safety person if you have a persistent problem, or in-house medical staff. Just let your manager know you're contacting them, not related to work.

* If you'd like to sit on a bouncy ball, that's OK too.

or you could just try taking your imported seeds with you in your hand luggage when flying into Sydney, and see how well that goes.

http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive-species/...

The seeds you buy at your local garden center are subject to national and international laws, regulations and agreements specifically written based on work of hundreds of scientists to prevent as much as possible the introduction of diseases and other bad things that don't exist where you live. The garden center has to follow these regulations (and document compliance) or they get fined. When you buy seeds on eBay or AliExpress or wherever, there simply are no regulations on the sellers. Do you dispute this simple fact?

I don't know if it changed in the meantime, but I was flying to Israel in 99 and it was an experience I will not forget my whole life.

He's an interesting guy no doubt, but accounts tell us he was just doing his job.

At least he tried, for sure.

I agree with your second point, not so much with the first, I've seen very intelligent approaches to video conferencing (only full HD video for the speaker, and dynamic upscaling-downscaling based on who's speaking), not to mention bandwidth is very cheap now.

I'd definitely schedule periodic face to face meetings for remote teams, but that doesn't mean remote cannot work.

> Sounds to me like voting with your pocket book.

It's very interesting that you would compare it to voting, because that means we're talking about citizens of one country "voting" for the leader of another country--which would mean interfering with another country's elections. Are you sure you want to stick with that analogy? :)

This is in contrast with the traditional definition of "voting with your wallet," which refers to refusing to do business with companies you don't like.

> How is this a bad thing?

In a nutshell, it's bad because it further contributes to polarization and division. This becomes a self-reinforcing cycle, leading to ever more "us vs. them" thinking. Eventually it's what leads to wars. Isn't it fairly basic political theory that nations which are economically interdependent are less likely to go to war with each other? If we can't do business with anyone who has different political opinions than we do, that's a recipe for...well, war.

> Would you also object if I didn't want to purchase clothes that are manufactured in a way I find morally deplorable? Hey it's not the workers fault right?

You're comparing apples to oranges. This is not a question of a company mistreating its workers.

By the same token, I could ask you why you would punish the innocent workers who didn't vote for the candidate you dislike. By refusing to do business with them, you are hurting them, and it's not their fault the candidate got elected. Even from a purely pragmatic standpoint, this is likely to drive them away, toward your political opponents, who can tell them, "See how nasty the other side is? They won't even trade with us anymore because they disagree with how we run our own country!"

That attitude is essentially a large part of why Trump got elected: the Democrats' constant condescension toward a large swath of the population alienated them. If you mistreat people, they aren't going to thank you for it, they're going to hate you for it.

Or, colloquially, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
