My systems generally wrap their usage of third-party components with internal facades -- an interface that I control that provides a clear contract for replacing the component, generally as part of an AntiCorruption Layer [0]. The more costly the replacement, the more need for abstraction, so I can't imagine why I would treat multi-system communication with Googles or Microsofts cloud-ESB as something less prone to change, replacement, or parallel requirements than whatever PDF-generator we're using this week.

A higher theoretical corporate rate is largely offset by lower income tax [1]. In the end, income taxes are basically a business cost for any company with employees. On top of that, actual tax rates after accounting for deductions are much lower [2], and then you have lower sales tax: in Europe VAT averages around 20%, whereas in the US sales tax averages well below 10% - which is why European tourists are notorious shoppers when going to North America.

You can argue whether your dollars are well spent or whether there are internal disparities, but overall the US is hardly a tax hell.

Yes, very much so. Eating a curry and saying it's "hot" can equally mean it's very spicy ( phall etc ) or it is physically too hot to eat yet. We tend to say "it's hot-hot" for physically too hot or something like "it'll blow your face off" or "this curry is really hot".

It's a minefield of ambiguity which a new word could easily solve. It could well be, as you say, it's only recently that hot spices have become mainstream.

No one is discussing blanket permissions, ie using these cookies or information for advertising.

You cannot have a site with a login without a cookie. It's gdpr compliant to inform users you will use cookies for that purpose and not pretend there's some magic way to have a login gated site without a cookie or something functionally equivalent. A site development tool is very similar. Understanding if code is working and where it's breaking is a fundamental technical requirement to build and operate a production website.

Stoking paranoia by calling bug reporters "pervasive tracking tools" is misguided; this tool only sees information that the user was handing to the site. ie any personal data is obviously already disclosed to the site.

And if you're not already interested in that, then no amount of coding bootcamps are going to spark that interest.

> I don't understand, even after using cloud at work, what those cloud systems provide that can't be done, better, cheaper, and with less relying on a single organisation, on dedicated service providers.

You're pretty much spot on, technically. Anything they can do, you can do better, faster, smarter, more streamlined, etc, outside of some core competencies. It's hard to do BigTable better than Google, and my Paxos is just gonna be worse than what a few decades of 'mission critical' at Microsoft will create.

The reason these are viable in the market, though, isn't technical: it's Time To Market and capital expenditures.

For a SaaS company "The Cloud" is a dead end in the long run because it costs too much, but it's golden in the short term because you throw a few credit card numbers at the issue and you're up and running. You scale, make money, scale more, make more money, and then use your half-decades head start on the competition to bring down your costs. Anything that's not working gets turned off, and you've only lost operating costs without some huge hardware investment.

The commercial cloud is not about running things 24/7 cheaper than your datacenter, the commercial cloud is about letting you pretend you have a datacenter while you get your unicorn to an IPO ;)

For investors, CTOs, CIOs, and CEOs the picture is one of transition, not permanence [0]:

> Even if we believe the world is going gaga for cloud - and I do - there are different flavours of cloud, with SaaS comprising a two-thirds of all public cloud spending, by IDC’s estimates. As for those SaaS vendors, they’re running lots (and lots) of VMware. As one insider at a large SaaS provider shared with me, their model is to run on public cloud when they enter a new region, then switch to private data centre once they hit a revenue threshold ($50m).

It was pretty similar, but gRPC is a bit simpler since Stubby had a lot of other stuff to deal with authorization etc.

I wouldn't say the lack of friction was mostly due to Google being the only consumer. It was mostly because there was a clear path from A to B when you wanted to give something an RPC interface and that this path was made efficient.

Or at least more efficient than trying to use REST-like stuff in a large organization with lots of different teams using different technologies.

It also helped that it wasn't a democracy. You had to use it. If you didn't like that you were free to leave. As a result people will focus more effort on making the tools better and make friction points go away.

In practical terms: we can spend weeks on getting a REST-like interface to work with other projects because everyone has an opinion on every bit of the design, and everyone uses different, and quirky libraries and tools. For Stubby in Google back then, it was mostly about defining the data structures, the RPC calls, discuss semantics and then the mechanics were taken care of. This is far, far, far from the actual case for many other technologies.

(And while I appreciate HATEOAS as a design philosophy, and I've tried to make use of it several times, it just is not worth the effort. It is just takes too much time to do right and to get everyone on the same page. Most proponents are more keen on telling everyone how they are using it wrong, than on writing good tools that actually help people use it right. There's very little empathy with the developer).

Not answering your question, but the companies do tricks so they don't have incomes in some countries.

E.g. Starbucks in Germany... they buy their coffee from Sbucks Luxembourg, the amount of coffee needed to make a 7 euro coffee will also cost close to 7 euros, payable to the seller, Sbucks Luxembourg. So the German subsidiary has very low profits (7 euros for coffee beans for 1 cup of coffee!), and pay very little taxes. The Luxembourg subsidiary pay the local taxes, which are much lower -- as arranged by their then premier, and now current head of European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker:

> In early November 2014, just days after becoming head of the commission, Juncker was hit by media disclosures—derived from a document leak known as LuxLeaks—that Luxembourg under his premiership had turned into a major European centre of corporate tax avoidance. With the aid of the Luxembourg government, companies transferred tax liability for many billions of euros to Luxembourg, where the income was taxed at a fraction of 1%. Juncker, who in a speech in Brussels in July 2014 promised to "try to put some morality, some ethics, into the European tax landscape", was sharply criticised following the leaks.[52] A subsequent motion of censure in the European parliament was brought against Juncker over his role in the tax avoidance schemes. The motion was defeated by a large majority.[53]

> In 2017, leaked diplomatic cables show Juncker, as Luxembourg’s prime minister from 1995 until the end of 2013, blocked EU efforts to fight tax avoidance by multinational corporations. Luxembourg agreed to multinational businesses on an individualised deal basis, often at an effective rate of less than 1%.[54]

Labor costs on these projects are closer to $10/hour these days. The workers get paid reasonably well because their job is in shifts and seasonal. They're also usually provided some basic housing and food, health insurance and transport.

Eminent domain compensation also tends to be very high for this kind of projects. People intentionally seek farmland that might be in the way of construction to get paid. Since it's all technically long-term "rent" in the communist regime, they usually get compensated on a yearly basis for as long as the rent stands, which may be as long as 5-15 years.

And for the environmental impact studies, if Western media and people can't read Chinese, it doesn't mean these studies do not exist. China is very serious about ecology in the last years, it's not there yet, but it's moving in the right direction.

Google obsession aside, could care less about what they do in regards to NN really though I am glad that they and most companies and people in the country support NN, the ISPs matter on this policy.

ISPs/broadband/telcos/providers really are the ONLY ones that don't want it, ask yourself WHY they want it removed so badly...against most people's demands. They say it changes nothing, I don't want SLOW lanes, unless they are massively increasing infrastructure they will be SLOWING you down and INSPECTING packets. This is anti-internet behavior. If Google was actually using their monopoly about it they would crush NN because they will be top in mind share either way. When Netflix, who was affected by NN, stopped supporting NN for a while people flipped. Same with Google, people would be pissed if Google didn't support NN, this comes from PEOPLE's demands [1][2].

Why all the ISP love? You got some massive trust in them to both mostly have a monopoly control and to be able to control traffic (including speeds/data caps) AND have all your private info for every single connection you make.

Do you think there is ANY local monopoly issue regarding ISPs? Do you think ISP competition is good enough in the US?

Do you see the difference in the level of control ISPs have over ALL your traffic while Google has to have you USE them?

I have acknowledged some issues with Google but you have yet to acknowledge anything regarding ISP abuse and questions regarding broadband availability where ISPs are failing the US (Google Fiber was an awesome competitive boost we needed), nor that most people want NN [1][2]. Yes, your Google obsession is a distraction from the main NN point, the only people that want NN are ISPs/broadband/telcos/providers.

But with html+js+css the amount of bullshit about angle brackets and ids and names and escape characters and css quirks and floating divs and lambdas and selector syntax that you need to get through before you can make a rudimentary game or interactive page is very unfriendly.

>You guys really have less trouble with package managers than Windows installers?

Yes, because:

>(I don't remember exactly)

There is your problem.

Your package manager prevented you installing something which would have caused instability, and you didn't grok it well enough to understand, and somehow this is the fault of package management?

Did you upgrade your dependency graph before deciding it was all too difficult to understand and use the tool to fix the problem? (apt upgrade && apt update)

apt was telling you something important: you chose to just ignore it because "too confusing" or whatever .. maybe because you grew up on the very poor habit of "just install it and who cares whatever may happen afterwards" of installers?

>_bypass_ the package manager and get an even more borked installation? You don't see a third option?

There is a third option - upgrade your dependencies, try again, and if it persists - remove the offending package and replace it with one that works. That dependency graph is there to tell you: your system may become unstable after you install this.

No such luxury happens with the plain ol' installer methods ..

sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

EDIT: A simple solution to your problem, only possible with package management:
