As a product manager for one of the big tech companies in the bay area, I agree.

Most problems that we solve on a daily basis aren't cutting edge, they are complicated business logic or customer facing UI that needs to be tested more than anything else.

Communicating requirements and vision at this point become more important than having your "rockstar" engineers outshine everyone else.

That said, one thing I've learned is that you can't please developers.

The same people on this forum that are deriding "personal communication" in favor of more formal communication are the same ones that complain about project managers and "unnecessary" status updates and communication.

I typically just do whatever the team wants, makes no difference to me whether they like to figure out everything in conversation or desire more formal status updates etc.

At the end of the day if I see the team gelling and working at a good clip, I don't mess with them and try to stay out of their way.

What part of his argument do you think is wrong? He's absolutely correct.

If highly-demanded goods become expensive, that incentivises creative behaviour to supply more of those goods. That's a good thing.

If you're not allowed to charge fair market value, that won't make everything magically cheaper, it'll just mean there's not enough to go around.

Fentanyl has been a major accelerant in the opioid crisis. It's extremely potent and extremely cheap to manufacture. This has driven prices down, brought drug strength up, and shot overdoses through the roof.

Opioids are incredibly addictive. Once you're hooked, you don't think rationally about how you spend your money.
In the long run you would see supply increases for an inelastic good, but, due to the demand shock that is a natural disaster, the demand curve moves to the right in the short run, thus increasing price.

Not sure what the best solution is, though.

I don't think the issue is elastic versus inelastic goods. The issue is the barrier to entry in the market.

If water bottles were selling for 20 dollars each, and I were in an unaffected but relatively nearby area, I might load my truck with a couple thousand water bottles that I buy for 50 cents, drive for a day, and enjoy a big return. In this way, the market is extremely useful. People like me are motivated by profit incentives to move the resources that people in the disaster area need to them. This is because the water bottle market has a very low cost to enter.

Conversely, the airline market has a very high cost to enter. Even if I would like to take advantage of high prices, I can't get myself a passenger plane, necessary permits, agreements with airports, etc, in time to do anything about the hurricane. On the other hand, people with small private planes may be able to fly their planes down, and take on passengers, in a profitable way, and that may be an incentive for more of them to do so than would otherwise.

I'm not saying that that can't happen. There are probably people that are needy and can't afford the increased prices.

But, by making it "cheap" enough for the poor & needy to pay, you've effectively made it "cheap" for the poor and not needy to pay as well. The latter group being much larger and will probably drown out access for the former, so it's a lose-lose if you ask me.

No, it doesn't. It means there's no incentive for entrepreneurs to go to great lengths to increase the supplies of (e.g.) bottled water during a disaster.

It doesn't mean everyone gets what they need, it means only the first few people get what they need.

Why Economic Incentive May Lead to the Failure of Bitcoin
No, the free market reaction is that all the airlines notice airline seats from the Caribbean are way more valuable right now, so they divert resources from nonemergency areas to put on extra flights out of the Caribbean, as many as the airports can take, so more people are helped. If there's a law against price gouging, the airlines won't bother doing any such thing, because they have no incentive.

I doubt its as efficient. People will still buy as much as they can and then turn and sell their surplus. Unless you can accurately gauge their need, which is requires way more work. "Price gouging" will allow the most efficient utilization of goods. While they likely will price out the less wealthy, the goods will help more people in general.

This doesn't even address the infrastructure and politics behind setting prices and managing limits. Changing price is faster, easier, and more efficient.

It also leaves out the political power involved. Someone in charge of setting limits probably gets to makes sure they, their family and friends all get resources before anyone else. You just trade the power of wealth for political power.

This in my mind becomes a trade off between helping the most people, and having less bias (because politics) towards who you help.
Shame, sounds like it's the only option. It would be nice to see some competition in this area and wiki's are a great collaboration tool in interdisciplinary environments.
Yes. Complete non-sense. I, too, can't wait until society's only working class citizens unburdened by debt and above the poverty line are software engineers, lawyers, and doctors. Everyone else should have, upon becoming unemployed, mastered more economical skills. We are fortunate that labor force participation is actually just that simple.
Many people who could afford something won't buy it unless it's in a range they consider reasonable...or they need it. The market for airplane seats at that price going that distance is usually zero. But given the disaster, the market grows quite a bit. Not because they "can afford it", they could afford it before, but because they need it.
Sounds like that's pretty easily fixed by having a maximum amount someone can buy.
But they do need their skills, they've just found a way to get it a lot cheaper by manufacturing in countries that don't have much in terms of environmental or worker protections.

When growth is slowing in your main product, you have to find ways to take up the slack. It's going to be consumer hostile almost by definition, since the goal is to take more money from the consumer.

I don't ever intend to own a phone without a headphone jack. If enough people agreed with me their plan would backfire, but I suspect that's not the case.
I often hear this argument, but if it was fact, wouldn't it prevent the price to get very high? As new merchants start selling, they would fight by offering lower price than competitors down to the rate they feel is still worth the business (supposedly still way higher than usual price).

It seems to me that those things happen so fast, nobody has time to settle a new trade route and local businesses are the only ones to profit from it, with no side effect. I guess this argument would be right if we were talking about long term situation.
- CO2 is plant food. Indoor growers supplement CO2 levels up to 1500 ppm (after which they say that there is not much return) to enhance growth. There is no reason to remove it from the atmosphere.

- Supposedly CO2 is also a green house gas that helps earth trap some heat from the sun. The link between how much heat CO2 captures based on the concentration is very difficult to find, suggesting that the link is not very strong and propaganda driven "climate science" deliberately doesn't want anyone to know. My guess is that it is very weak at best which is why they supplement the theory with heating will cause water vapor concentration to rise, which is also a green house gas, which will cause snowball effect. This could be tested in a controlled greenhouse but most probably it didn't turn out to be favorable for the propaganda so the research has not been published.

- Climate has been changing throughout the history of the earth and there are no known consistent patterns that we have been able to model which can help us predict anything, not that we have seen working at least. Overall though, it has been cooling and there is no reason that it will not continue to do so in the long run.

- The causal relation between CO2 levels and global temperatures has not only not been established, but it is impossible to establish because of large number of factors affecting it and affecting each other. The best we can get is some kind of correlation but even that hasn't been consistent over time. They keep adding more explanations to anomalies to pretend that they know what is going on but it's obvious that they just don't want to accept it. Max Plank said "Science advances one funeral at a time", but it seems increased life expectancy will keep "climate science" going for a while.

So, yeah some people may be upset that people are touting this solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
While I don't disagree with your analysis, I think it misses something important.

There are people - living, breathing people - who are experiencing trauma and danger and who are starving and thirsty.

We could choose to spend our own money on gasoline to drive down and distribute water. We do not need to seek compensation for everything we do. We can choose to lose money to help people who are in need. And I think charging $99 for a crate of clean water is adding insult to injury to people who have lost their livelihood.

The calculus of your argument is correct but it lacks empathy.

This isn't about fault or blame. This is about keeping a healthy surviving economy and society over the long term.

The fact that many people are becoming unemployable is no fault of their own, and it's not the business' fault that don't need their labor. But as a society we need to decide what to do about it, because covering our ears and closing our eyes and yelling LALALALA and pretending it doesn't exist or will go away on its own is only going to make the problem worse.

Rather than commenting on the article, my goal is to help the grandparent empathize with how people keep falling into such a seemingly obvious trap.

5. Commuter rail (green line will make this even better)

6. Low corporate tax rates

7. Way lower cost of living then Toronto/Vancouver

8. Cheaper salaries

9. A very willing government

10. Close to tons of outdoor activities (similar to Denver here)

I am always amazed how quickly they give you hardcore painkillers. I have taken Vicodin once when I had my orbital bone smashed but otherwise I never fill the prescription. I don't know how prevalent this but I have seen stories in TV where people had kidney stones, got super strong painkillers and got addicted. The doctors notice this and cut their supply off cold turkey so the only way out for those people is heroin.
shelter is way more expensive than opioids.

> Why wouldn't they rather spend the money on things that mattered?

addicts aren't addicted to things that matter. they can want to spend their money on things to better their situation and be completely unable to do so. addiction is really hard to beat and is best treated with compassion, not judgement about irrational financial decisions.
"More senior developer" such as who or categorised by what metrics? Age?
In your example, the cause of the collapse would be that developer drove a tank onto the bridge and didn't bother to check the weight limits beforehand.

If you forgot to initialise the variable before using it - it's your problem, not the problem of the language. This is a feature of C++, not a bug. It is well documented, it is expected, and it is there for a good reason. And if you are running into this issue all the time, perhaps C++ is not for you.
> While PHP has gotten better recently, the language is not nearly as powerful or complete as almost all of the popular alternatives.

I can prove that python and php are equal in their "power" because I can build compilers/interpreters of one with the other.

If you are arguing that python has better libraries then it's possible though for web development, I'd say most popular languages have similar libraries and capabilities.

But my point was more to the point of expertise in stack. A skilled PHP developer is going to be just as productive with the PHP stack as a skilled python developer.

People who think one stack is better than the other usually base their opinion on poor/bad developers.

There are plenty of horrible python developers as there are php developers.

The "power" of most stacks, especially something closely related as the PHP and Python stacks, are similar.

The difference in productive boils down to competence of developers, not the stack itself.

But that's just my experience and my opinion.
Just because it's lossy doesn't mean it can't sound good, but sure aux and lightning are probably better choices if you're concerned about it sounding good.

> If yarn had been approached with more senior developers I think it could have replaced npm entirely.

Some very senior developers were involved in it's development including the original author of Babel, someone who has been a core member of and contributor to jQuery, Rails, Rust & Ember, people who have/currently work on Chrome, Node core, etc etc etc.

If those people aren't "senior" developers, you're going to have to explain what you mean by that.

Also replacing npm means replacing npm as the bundled package management tool that comes with node, and likely replacing the fact that they use the npm registry.
>Same. I really want to like (and use) uWSGI, for many reasons, but I find it's lacking severely in the department of documentation (searching "uwsgi" on Amazon gives zero hits!).

Agreed. After recently testing out Python for a web dev project I was really dismayed at the fragmentation and lack of usability in the landscape of application servers. Here's hoping this might lead to some standardization.
I was hoping to see data center that was barricading itself physically against the flooding with sandbox and preparing with diesel generators and disaster recovery. I think web traffic would've been the last thing on my mind.
I wish there was a viable alternative. Moving to Android after years and years of purchasing apps and setting my digital life up around apple's ecosystem makes that a nonstarter. It's platform lock-in.

And, I'm not about to stall at a particular model, since I know quite well that the headphone jack isn't likely to come back.
Being lucky enough to be first in the queue doesn't make you more morally deserving any more than being lucky enough to be rich. Worse, making it illegal to raise prices constrains supply so that a lot fewer people can be helped.

I'm not saying that absolutely everything should necessarily be allocated by price. Making it illegal to allocate things by price makes sense in the case of something like land whose supply is inelastic. If you want to say the price of land should be controlled and nobody should be allowed more than their fair share, okay; it's not like a price increase will allow more to be supplied. But clean water and airline seats have an elastic supply, and outlawing allocation by price means there will be less to go around.
> Most people with jobs can barely afford to make ends meat

Funny anecdote time!
The oaks mentioned in the article, on Visingsö, were planted in the early 19th century for future war ships. In 1975 the chief of the forest service called the chief of navy telling him the oaks were ready for harvest. For some reason he declined the offer, but thought it would be nice if the forest could be preserved, which it were.
I can't be sure without a specific source to refute, but most estimates indicate it's pretty possible to avoid most of the damage by ending emissions. It'll still take the better part of a century to naturally remove the CO2 we have already added, but that would be enough to stop massive climate upheaval.

However its very apparent that there's no way in hell we'll actually stop emissions any time soon. I think that's what has been distorted into "it's too late". It'll take 30+ years at the most optimistic to see significant decreases in CO2 emission which is why some people advocate for geoengineering.

Armchair skeptic: manually removing CO2 is the least dumb way of doing climate engineering. It's possible, it hasn't got nearly the terrible side effects of something like sulfur aerosols, and it can actually produce useable products (although the commercial viability of producing graphite and hydrocarbons from CO2 is... suspect). It's a nice dream though, and a fun counterargument to people saying we will always need coal and oil for steel and plastics. Ultimately of course the amount of carbon exceeds our need for oil/graphite/coke by a factor of several million, even over several millenia.
It is time cube.
