What was the book's subject? I've always managed to convince myself that the poor performance (relatively to values such as I see you have quoted) is because my market is somewhat niche, but it may not be the case, so any info on such self-published success would be useful for me.

At risk of blasting straight through Godwin's Law, this is the logic of 1930s IBM... and it should be resoundingly rejected.
Some people seem to somehow wish that us Europeans are furious that we don't have colonies anymore and that we are deeply nostalgic about it. Now I am not from a European country that had colonies, but I think it is pretty universal in Europe that, people are not missing the colonies.

European are happy about where we are today. We are fighting less among each other than ever before. A continent of violence and become a continent of peace.

Europe tops pretty much all worlds statistics on happiness, health, well-being and prosperity.

I have no problems with the right wingers in Europe being angry about us not dominating the rest of the world. Let them be angry, it only brings me schadenfreude.

Besides I don't think Europeans honestly care that much about it. I see American fretting much more about the position in the world. They are afraid of not being number ONE anymore. I think most of us Europeans have long accepted that reality.

IMHO Europe's future is brighter than most other places. Global climate change will affect us much less than the rest. Unlike Asia, we don't have the same demographic time bomb. China, Korea and Japan will suffer major setbacks as their populations gray far too quickly.

The middle east will be screwed when the world no longer runs on oil.

I am hoping for a better future for Africa, but it will take a VERY long time for Africa to catch up with Europe.

The US has a pretty bright future as well I think, but it will likely suffer a lot from political polarization and economic inequality and social problems. Yet the US has been through the same so much of its history.

India will be a lot better off than today, but most Indians have a very long time to go to get anywhere near European levels of prosperity. That could take another 60-100 years.
MCAS is not a stick pusher -- and that's the crux of the problem. A stick pusher would essentially adjust the elevator to pitch the plane down. MCAS trims the stabilizer. At full stabilizer travel you may not have sufficient elevator authority to overcome the downward pitch. Put another way, you can counteract the stick pusher by pulling back (although this may take a strong pilot). If you don't catch MCAS doing something stupid and the plane ends up fully trimmed down you cannot counteract this by pulling back.

Here's some other examples of what happens when the stabilizer is trimmed without the pilot knowing. Sadly Capt. VanderBurgh died a couple years ago. Had he not it would have been fascinating to see his take on the Lion Air wreck.

And here's a quick overview of how the stabilizer functions in a 737:

On the contrary, I'd say that any corporation that doesn't play politics in any nation, not just the US, has a competitive edge against those who don't. What people seem to be asking for is that corporations do it in a more savvy manner.
The areas with the most growth are cities, not states. And Boston is already wealthy. The states you mentioned all have major cities that are seeing the type of growth I'm talking about.

The real "losers" in this situation are heartland states without major metro areas, like most of the plain states and rural America.

The middle range of the IPO put Qualtrics at a $4B valuation, so SAP bought it for 2x market open.

Seems they're trying to buy the customer feedback "experience management" angle to close the loop on their financial and ERP systems used to create and deliver products. It sounds nice in theory but these integrations rarely work and its doubtful most companies would use the whole suite or even use them together, even if offered by the same vendor.

SAP might be trying to reach into the "cloud" market by throwing cash, but I can't think of a single example where this has been a great success.
I'm not gonna lie: Daytrading.

It's the definition of a money topic. But I know that there are people who make a fortune with small cook books.
I know some other very profitable niches, but I can't talk about them in detail - competition is already extreme. But trust me: There's a ton of money in most topics.

OT: About daytrading (most people think it's basically a scam) - I know people who do daytrading on a daily basis (what a pun) and who live relatively comfortable investing $25-40k. I know a guy who went from 12k to 80k with one investment (was a 2-year investment, though). He's not gambling, he is a trading nerd reading the news and all company reports constantly. But yes, 99% of daytraders lose money because they start to become greedy or have no discipline.
Many of them would be selling out and moving to less expensive areas had Prop 5 passed, but the Democrat machine opposed it.
> Economically, I'm not sure we're ever going to get away from ads.

Why? Was there no human economic activity before they were ads?

If spaceships appeared in the sky, and shot lasers at all ads, and anyone making new ones, would we find no way to make and sell and buy things regardless? That seems less likely to me than said spaceships.

> I just don't see that happening.

True, and saying "it should be possible" is not the same as knowing how to get from here to there. But I wouldn't say "never ever" in this context.

Sorry, also no. Let me be clear, museum partners would not sign contracts - and thus the project would not exist - if these stipulations about preventing downloading were not met. It was a dealbreaker across the board, and Google's compromise was a good one. Without it there would not be this access to art and culture.
This might be true if you're from the US. Being situated in Europe (or elsewhere on the map) might very well change the perspective towards Cloudflare a bit.
Saying it that way will be much more helpful for the conversation. When people say something very easy like "Sources or it didn't happen", my normal gut reaction is to think "That person is just trying to waste my time because they have a contrary stance". Even better would be to say something like "Could you post the sources you used because this source[1] seems to say something different".

Sometimes when you are honestly trying to convey some information, people who are contrary are just shouting you down. It's usually better to ignore them because otherwise you end up going down a rabbit hole of their choosing. But, at least for me, if I see that someone is genuinely interested in exploring the subject I'll usually go the extra mile and prepare the information I have. Sometimes it leads me to find out I'm wrong, and I'm always grateful for the prompting.

Without seeing a trailer how would we know it looked exactly the same? Looking the same counts for nothing without script, voice acting, production values etc. Just look at some of the cheap junk Disney have turned out.

Aardman had almost complete 100% awareness in the UK thanks to Wallace and Gromit, and use of a national treasure or two for voice acting. The Creature Comforts ads that must have run for a decade or more - and still get voted in the top 5 best ads 30 years later, along with their other shorts and films. So it's difficult to generalise for areas that don't have the same love and awareness.

After 30+ years of Wallace and others, along with their production values and including plenty for the adults make it a safe bet. Like you'd also expect from Pixar. Thoroughly good it was too.

Taking the kids to a Disney movie is far more likely to give nothing to the parents, or turn out to be one of their cheapie efforts.
Many of these people whose brand is promoted the way GaryV does seem to be like this - and few seem to have the balls to call them out. I met Gary. He's definitely one of those overly keen on technology being able to save us all. The old-school values on personal reputation in business have certainly faded. The strange thing is that people act baffled when their reputation is ruined... See Theranos, for example. Holmes continues to behave as if there are no consequences for fraud - and maybe there are not for her.
This is like saying that all the smut in libraries is ruining society and the world would be better off if all the libraries closed. Those educational books would still be available elsewhere, etc etc.

I use YouTube all the time to learn to do things around the house. My wife and I recently completed a bathroom renovation and the only thing we didn't do ourselves was the plumbing, including completely replacing the tile and patching the walls. It looks fabulous.

Sure, I could probably have eventually found that information elsewhere, but it was almost all on YouTube and very easy to find. I looked up multiple videos on each task and figured out what the best advice was and even got to see it done multiple ways.

Losing YouTube at this point would be a huge loss.

Probably not, because we wouldn't know it is up to Aardman quality. In the UK particularly, Aardman is the Pixar of stop-motion.

Most wealth in most European nations depends on local production and expertise.

Why is e.g. the Norwegian fisherman richer than the Bangladeshi fisherman? It is not because he gets more money for each fish he sells.

It is because the usage of modern fishing vessels and technology allows him to fish a lot more fish. In Norway we tried to give Bangladeshi fishermen modern Norwegian fishing vessels in the 70s. If failed because they do not have the skill and infrastructure to maintain and support a modern fishing fleet.

Value lies in better both superior equipment and the knowledge of how to use it effectively. That advantage exists in Europe regardless of whether Europe gets to exploit other nations or not.

Even in colonial times, most economic activity happened locally. Tobacco, sugar and spice does not grow the core of the economy. What mattered most was intensified farming locally. The usage inanimate power, labor specialization and cheaper transport to increase production of food, clothes, tools, furniture, housing etc.

Even without actually exploiting the colonies Europeans would have benefited hugely from the maritime explorations. New crops such as potatoes benefited European agriculture greatly.
Regardless of how one feels about the issue, the article doesn't seem to focus on the "how" at all despite the title (at least nothing that I can see), but rather just seems to state that Corporate Virtue-Signaling is bad.

Ok, so there is one paragraph that mentions the "Community Pluralism Principle" and that shareholders should hold their company accountable for politicization, then throws a pithy quote that "The social responsibility of business is to increase its profits.”

The issue with this kind of statement is that it falsely implies that politicization is adverse to profit. Are we to believe these companies like Nike or Ben & Jerry's are pursuing politicization purely for social motives, or has someone done the math to determine that this politicization can actually translate to higher profits? Likely it's somewhere in the middle

> Which is all to say that I think they likely have two separate AoA sensors.

Correct, the 737 NG has two separate alpha vanes[1] and I believe the MAX does as well. However the "alpha vanes disagree" alert is a paid option per the emergency AD. Likewise the AoA indicator is a paid option. There is redundancy, but the plane may be configured such that the pilot cannot determine if there is a failure.

Failure of one or both alpha vanes on an NG isn't a good thing, but failure of an alpha vane on a MAX could cause MCAS to essentially try to kill you and without that AoA disagree alert you may not know why because you've never been informed about this system, and at low altitude you likely wouldn't have time to figure out what's going on.

Edit: if that all sounds fucking insane, it is. That's why American and Southwest pilot unions are livid[2].

Progressive enhancement is different than what the parent comment is suggesting. They are describing how to correctly write SPAs and other webapps.

People think the formaldehyde and all these other chemicals with spooky names were added by the bad cigarette companies..but not so!! Whenever any hydrocarbon is burned, a characteristic distribution of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes is formed -- with the nastiest and most "radical" chemicals (like the alkynes), appearing with the lowest frequency.

That's why smoking has almost no risk unless repeated. With enough exposure, those minimal alkynes add up. And they destroy DNA and wreak general havok due to their bond energy.

I know I just reiterated your point. Thank you for making the point - smoke is what is a probabilistic distribution of energetic hydrocarbons -- not the plant!!

I am not against a prosperous Europe. Neither do I believe in living in the past. Simply stating the facts that Europe’s wealth is because of world looting. And it would be better that everyone understands where money comes from. Everyday that passes results in less exploitation

I largely agree with what you said. But either of us don’t understand how large complex systems change

There's this strange hint of Europe doing better than everyone else in your message. I assure you, that won't be the case.
Cloudflare is on record saying they will not sell the information. You can trust that or not but your ISP is almost certainly selling it if it is one of the major US ISP.

This article is disengenuous.

The lead example given is Ben & Jerry's anti-Trump ice cream, which is being painted as "virtue signalling" because Unilever apparently sells skin-bleaching creams in India.

Let's just dwell on that for a second... Josh Dehaas is accusing Ben & Jerry's of cynical motivation, claiming that their "virtue" is performative, based on the actions of another part of a multi-national organisation.

A multinational conglomerate is not a single entity with singular motivations. The framing is flawed... almost certainly designed to appeal to people who already believe "lefties" are "virtue signalling".

You’re right, that’s because (I think) this is an “on-demand” VPN, which basically only connects as needed, and allows for switching between Wi-Fi and cellular. It also shouldn’t drain more battery, since it’s not keeping the connection alive when the device is asleep.
I actually think that breaks it, I like it better when everybody gets the same results for the same queries. People (via algorithms or directly) shaping what others get to see, rather than configuration and user empowerment, is something I reject.
IMO there's no reason to adopt a text-based standard. WASM/SPIRV seem to be a step in the right direction: assembly is by default more compact and less ambiguous than a high level language represented as UTF-8 characters.

Let programmers work with whatever high-level language they prefer, and compile it down to a consistent, compact assembly representation to transmit it over the network.
If a company has a persistently high market share and has had for a long while, it has an effective monopoly whether or not it has ineffectual competitors.

However I believe the reason nothing changes despite these obvious market distortions is that super profits are self perpetuating: companies invest in politicians to keep the distortions in place. The technical definition of monopoly is just a smoke screen.

Are you saying that's happened here?

I live in Europe, but my understanding was that Trump fans were in a minority (based on the fact that Clinton got more votes but rural states have more electoral college votes per capita), which would make being anti-Trump more likely to be a successful marketing strategy.

We can shuffle the numbers around all you like, but if we don't use cheap energy then more of our resources go to energy production and standards of living will drop. A "higher tax rate" is slight of hand argument for "we'll make the costs so convoluted that no-body will understand the cause". It isn't a solution to the problem of making people's lives more materially comfortable and satisfying.

It is all very well to say that orangutans _should_ be more important than a standard of living, but in practice people will say one thing and vote in a completely different way when they are actually tested. Orangutan are not important compared to keeping families struggling between financially viable and non-viable on the good side of the margins.
