Thanks for the links. I read through them and agree that competition isn't a binary thing. Those articles read to me more like "the airline business is a shitty business to be in because it's too competitive" rather than "the airline business is a great business to own because it's not very competitive"

This quote seemed to summarize my point of view overall:

> Airlines in North America posted a profit of $22.40 per passenger last year; in Europe the figure was $7.84.

$22.40 per pax looks to be about a 6% margin (avg US domestic RT fare of $354 in 2017). 6% is not quite the bloody competition of grocers (sub 2%), but it's a pretty damned slim profit margin for such a capital and labor intensive business and not anyplace I'd want to put my investment (of time or money) to seek profit.

It wouldn't surprise me if the European carriers had a similar profit margin on their lower priced tickets. I couldn't readily conjure up an estimate of average RT intra-Europe airfares on Google.
This is my biggest question about HIPAA and GDPR about deleting specific user records and data.

How are others planning on deleting data from all backups. It seems like any automatic process that modifies all existing backups has the potential to accidentally corrupt all backups in the process.

Is there any safe way to safely delete a record out of my prior database snapshots, or is there a reason I don't actually need to do this?
I guess it all comes down to how 'intent' is interpreted. If someone is offering prostitution on craigslist, but craigslist doesn't catch it, is craigslist liable because they "didn't do enough" to prevent it from happening? That was probably a silly example because I think craigslist is fairly active in policing themselves, but there are lots of websites that are not as stringent, because of resourcing, etc.

Are there cases where the fine line between unintentional negligence (if it can be proven at all?) and intent is blurred?
Why not store them? It is data I created. For example I take a lot of photos. Most of them are shit, but I don't delete a single one.

> "a blockbuster study released Monday by the relief charity Feeding America ... involved interviews with 60,000 people whose households are served by the charity."

This cites a source which cites a survey of people served by an anti-poverty charity, and finds they suffer from poverty. Then he restates it incorrectly, falsely stating that it applies to 66% of all Americans. This is a major distortion, and it cuts right to the central point of the article.

I don't suppose you remember the last P2P bubble, which started with Napster in 1999 and effectively ended when Mark Zuckerburg decided Facebook was a better bet than WireHog in 2004?

That also was a period of incredible excitement and real action - within 5 years, we got Napster, Gnutella, FreeNet, Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, Bittorrent, and Skype, along with lots of little programs that nobody's heard of (among them Red Swoosh, Travis Kalanick's first startup, and WireHog, the product that Facebook almost became) and academic research projects like Chord and Kademlia. The recording industry was being eviscerated - it did manage to kill Tower Records - and everyone was saying that movies would be next, and that P2P technology (with no central server, no single point of failure, and nobody to sue or imprison) would lead to the downfall of nation states and dictatorships and a fundamental change in the power balance of the world.

It did change the world, in that Tower Records is still dead, nobody buys albums anymore, and peoples' music tastes have diverged markedly. But the change everyone wanted - where power devolves from government entities and big corporations to ordinary people like you and I - never happened. Instead, the public lost interest. Instead of decentralized systems like IRC and Jabber, they got on Facebook. Instead of censorship-resistant systems like FreeNet, they got the Great Firewall of China. Instead of easy music sharing like Napster and Audiogalaxy, they got streaming services like iTunes and Spotify. Change came, but it just meant replacing one set of overlords with another.

It's very likely the same will happen with Bitcoin & Blockchain. It already is - that's what the article is about.

Yeah, my comment was an exaggeration but certainly grounded in truth.

Economics aren't everything.

I know a couple families who chose near poverty in rural Maine and rural Vermont after similiar near poverty in the Boston area but they're likely outliers.

One of the things that really struck me about VT, NH and ME was that the poorer people never complained much about the state. That wasn't what they saw to be the source of their problems. That's a huge flip from MA.

With all I've heard about CA if I had to choose between CA or that I can't say I wouldn't choose that. I'd probably regret either choice. Good thing I don't have to make that choice. I'll put in my years in the Boston area so I can take a pay cut out in the boondocks and still live comfortably.

I’m a cable cutter. I use both AppleTVs and Rokus.

I subscribe to Hulu Plus with no commercials. I currently get Netflix free via T-mobile and I have DirectvNow. I also have Amazon Prime and STARZ. I hardly ever watch live TV but my wife does. I had CBS All Access with no commercials before getting DirecTVNow when I had Sling, but DirecTvNow has all of the broadcast channels in my market (NBC, ABC,CBS,Fox,and theCW).

The trick to watching commercial free TV for shows that aren’t available on Hulu is Plex. You don’t have to pirate shows that are available on the network’s websites. Just add the channel via Plex. The Plex channel scapes the content from the website in real time. For all intents and purposes, you are watching it legally from their website - without commercials.

Direct to China sales increased, without clear guidance to consumers on the resulting decrease in shipping times and actual support. I can't tell yet the market effect. That is, if end buyers like the lower prices enough to offset the lower level of support, refunds, tech support, etc.

Chinese sellers actively avoid personalized support, refunds and compensation. But they sell at much lower initial pricing. It's hard to tell, for now, what the buyers value.

> Where does blame get placed when there is a computational error and my self-driving car kills another human-being?

Why do you assume the courts are incapable of handling this, or the law doesn't deal with it? Most likely you won't even own a self driving car, you'll be getting into a car owned by Uber or Google and they'll have to face liability, the same way you aren't liable as a passenger in a taxi if the driver gets into an accident.

On the victim side, you're actually more protected because a self driving car is less likely to be uninsured. If an uninsured driver hits you, you're just out of luck, they may go to jail but nobody is paying your bills. In the near term Uber or Google will have loads of insurance and loads of money to pay out claims.

Like other posters mentioned, it's crazy hard to make a good living doing what you want artistically. E.g. take photography: the only way to make a living is to shoot weddings, professional headshots, interior/architecture, or products for brands, which isn't exactly thrilling (how many times can you shoot Nike shoes or Ikea chairs before the excitement wears off?).

If you want to shoot the stuff that you want to shoot, maybe edgy dark fashion, or quirky abstract art etc. you will be piss poor, especially considering most invest way too much in gear rather than actually doing the work.

It's not unlike say being in a metal band. 99% of them have to have real jobs, even when they're "famous". It's just too much of a niche and making money with it is not obvious.

At the same time, that seems only fair. Should you be paid more for doing something you enjoy doing? E.g. playing music/videogames/making art all day vs someone stacking boxes at a warehouse all day or an accountant looking at taxes etc. Most people have mind-numbingly boring jobs that pay the bills because nobody wants to do them.

Making a living with the arts without "selling out" is super hard, probably not worth it to most.
“dependended” is another.
The problem is that nobody is thinking long-term.

Think about how startups work today. Rather than leasing a commercial office at half the price, they pay exorbitant premiums for WeWork. Nobody does proper capacity planning on AWS (let alone physical infrastructure), everyone only hires the most senior people, everyone pays exorbitant premiums to recruiters rather than building inbound candidate flow.

It's incredible how far we've pushed the time premium for money. I'm honestly not sure whether it's rational or not. But I think there are two good lessons from this.

#1: Patience is a massive advantage if you can pull it off. You can get out of the environment that's pushing senior level dev salaries to 200k or higher, pay less for everything, etc.

#2: There is good money in selling time to financed startups. If you can do anything that would conceivably let young, cash-rich startups trade time for money, that's a business.

This is happening where I live and the local people have all kinds of random reasons for opposing it. Some irrationally think their property will be worth less having an apartment building next door. Some don't care about value but just don't want the apartment building next door and refuse to move because they're settled in. Some think it'll create a slum. Some think the change is just an excuse for the local government to collect more money from more housing units. Most probably just don't like change because they're old and afraid of the unknown.

Absolutely this. You can always tell a PR reviewed via web. Unless it's very localized, I always open up the branch in an IDE and follow the flow through the abstractions and see if the changes make sense, and if there are additional opportunities or less clear gray areas of operation.

It will be even better when web tools catch up. Could be even better if they can navigate across repos in different languages even without even checking out a single file.

Dense housing near rapid transit, particularly rail, has led to lots of people getting exposed to massive volumes of noise, even at night. You can see Reno for a perfect example of this.

Reno, Nevada hasn't had a rail system since 1927, and there is exactly one "rapid" bus line (out of 30 routes total) Are you really arguing that significant numbers of downtown residents were so outraged by inescapable bus noise that they migrated to...whatever constitutes a "suburb" of Reno, or are you suggesting that Reno is the suburb people were fleeing to, and if so, from where? Or is there some other Reno we're talking about here?

> The inevitable conclusion for most of these heavily-vc-funded home automation startups is an acquisition by one of the tech giants.

You're right that this was an obvious outcome, in retrospect. I wonder what percent of their customers saw this coming. My sense is that they're not just selling to early adopters now—my retired aunt has been telling me about Ring for quite some time.

> If you are boycotting the tech giants for whatever reason, you should therefore be boycotting any startup that might be an acquisition target.

Huh, so if I avoid FB then I shouldn't use anything that they might acquire? Seems kind of tough, since they go out and buy things like Oculus, which was a bit out of left field.

That's too extreme an example. Noise restrictions affect what comes into your property so it's fair to have them. Sunlight, views and privacy are more reasonable things to be concerned about. People should be able to buy a guarantee of those things, I think. I suppose they can by putting a covenant on he neighboring properties but most people get them for free so they wouldn't feel it's fair to have to pay just to guarantee it.
I totally agree with the sentiment here. If the utility is public, it exists to serve the people electricity, all of the people, whatever their needs may be. So it seems like the fair thing to do is for the utility to charge the rate it needs in order to maintain and upgrade its equipment. Then just divide that into the total usage and make the people pay the total adjusted for their individual use compared to the average.
The vast majority of the US (by landmass) sucks to actually live in, and the economies of those areas are also awful. This is why many who can move to the coast do.

Not an original thought but its fascinating how much extra information Amazon has in these acquisitions than a normal company. When such a big part of Ring's sales are through amazon they can figure out things like

* How many people search specifically for the brand Ring

* If a knockoff appears first do people buy that instead

* What is the growth in searches and purchases overall

* Why do people return the product

These are things even Ring wouldn't know. Its not too far fetched to think you could build a valuation engine off the information Amazon has and compare the cost of cloning the product line to acquiring the company automatically.
Lack of breakthru innovation, IMHO.

The last device invented which is used by almost any household and consumes non-negligible amount of electricity is home PC. Which will turn 40 years soon.

In the meantime, even older devices, invented earlier, such as fridges, washing machines, etc. became much more efficient.

Naturally, the average amount of consumed electricity goes down.

If someone invents a a robot which will clean my apartment, do dishes and iron my shirts, and double my electricity bill, I will buy this device tomorrow.

Unforunately, for the last 30 years we made no progress in inventing something that can consume non-trivial amount of electricty and bring non-trivial value to an average household.
