I was being sarcastic there. Everyone also knew for a fact that property is a very safe investment and things backed by property is a very safe investment.

Before the stock market took a knock over the past two years, people were talking the same way about index funds as they were talking about property. The same thing with bitcoin really.

Being transparent about pricing is working against you. If I want to pay $54 for a book and I know only $0.77 are going to you, I'm simply not going to buy it.

The production costs might be reasonable, but $20+ to Amazon just for existing? Fuck that. I mean I use Amazon when I know their margins are razor thin (for most things they are), but in this case, big nope here.

In the context of this forum, comfort and safety means a cushy tech job. I don't know how many people feel fulfilled in those, but my guess is that the majority isn't (esp. among people with more than a couple years of experience). The dichotomy seems very real to me.

Regarding your example of a father that needs to pretend he's laser-focused on the job - this is what I was talking about. There are people for whose career is a #1 priority, and these people naturally get the prized positions (managerial, or work on interesting projects etc.) in work environments, at the cost of everything else in their lives. Your example,a a father who secretely does not give a shit, still wants to work on these interesting projects, and thus misrepresents himself as someone who gives a shit. He literally wants to get something that, in a just world, he shouldn't get. He is not accepting the dichotomy.

Of course, the flip side is that there's plenty of other frauds who also misrepresent themselves, to the point of anyone who's open about his real priorities sticks out like a sore thumb - at which point you need to pretend just to maintain a mediocre job, and not to get the prized one. The reason for that is, in the grand scheme of things, even those "mediocre" tech jobs still pay six figures for working on a computer in a climate -controlled office. These are dream jobs for 90% of the population, so the competition for them is intense, hence all the theatrics (like for example people begrudgingly doing personal projects on Github in their spare time to fake passion). I imagine there's much more honesty amongst brick layers or truck drivers, as they don't have people coming for their jobs from all angles.

Amazon calculates production costs (number of pages, paper finish, etc) and handling costs (weight, based on number of pages). And probably also makes a estimate of the number of books being sold (given the huge dataset they own, some ML analysis could probably make a fairly accurate estimate).

The minimum price is what they charge for the production and distribution, anything on top of that is your revenue.

The reality is even worse than what this graph suggests. From the $1.59 royalty only $0.77 stay with the author (the rest is tax), but the $0.77 are barely any profit if you account for the cost of human labour that went into writing this book in the first place. Depending on how many copies he'll sell through Amazon I think it's likely that the time spent on writing this book could have earned him more by cleaning the floor at McDonalds, which is a really sad state of affairs.
You never could trust it. The only difference now is in the number of actors involved, and their motives for lying to and manipulating you.

Other than that, it's the same as it always was.
Apparently the Amazon low margin strategy doesn't count for their book sales... that is absolutely brutal! Wouldn't it make more sense for the author to sell the book directly on his website as well?
The PDF is $10 on Google Play, DRM-free. A quick search shows that Google pays out about half of the selling price.

I'd prefer React even more now with the promising Hooks. I would not easily let a random person here choose for me with all his/her opinions. It really depends on what you want to do with either library.

For work/income I'd choose React as there seem to be more jobs for that. Also in the long term it feels like a pretty solid choice. React has a very big and active community, an outstanding development team, and so many codebases in the world are build on it. React will linger on for quite a while I dare to guess.

IMHO it is not really a React vs Vue thing, you could also go for Ember or Angular. Just pick the one that feels and works good for you and fulfils your personal needs we cannot assess.

Just a few days ago, I realized, the best thing to update somebody else's code, would be to print it out and take it to bed with me, so I can read the source without starring into that lamp (the monitor). I also could make notes with a pen, like placing the line number next to a function call (pointing to the function definition), etc.

Problem was, that the printout would have been over a hundred pages. Too expensive and feels like a waste of resources.

Then I remembered dot-matrix printers and checked out the market. They go about EUR200+ these days. Sadly, the one I'd liked (DIN A3 format, so to be able to print out long lines of code without wrapping, with 4 colors for some basic syntax highlite) are in the EUR1000 range.

My text-editor on the Amiga (in the 90's) would have a special print utility, that would allow to format the text (source code) in a way to fit as much text on the paper as possible, by choosing a smaller font, having multiple columns, etc.

Interestingly, nothing similar seems in production, these days.

So, ideally there'd be an affordable dot-matrix color printer, without a fixed line length (set it in the driver), and some pleasing monotype font for coders (including special chars like function arrows) as one of its internal charsets along with a utility I described above. My eyes would love it!
Berners-Lee lost me when he supported EME. Basically, I view that as a coordinated infrastructure (the political component) that allows for a "universal" technological lockdown (the engineering component -- weaponized by the political coordination and corresponding universal dissemination).

In other words, you will never save the Internet from authoritarian bozos, when they hold the keys -- that you manufactured for them.

You want to talk about saving the Internet? You have to own the physical layer -- keep it open. The rest is filtering.

Now, to RTFA, I suppose.

Oh, another example of what I'm saying: The Great Firewall of China was prototyped and initially built using Western technology and expertise. That bootstrapped them; it "gave them the keys".

The Chinese authorities have understood very well and increasingly effectively use this: Control of the physical layer.

And, they're exporting turnkey systems for this.

Maybe that's what "saving the Internet" looks like, for some people. The censored Internet. The one that tells you what's ok to build and to say -- that sooner or later butts up against innovation, dynamism, needed change and progress.

"The other issue is what value is this all really providing? Kubernetes provides a standard API that abstracts infrastructure and deployments.

The benefit that Lambda brings is very simply connecting together cloud services."

Generally, the benefits of a function service are:

- scale to zero: when a function is not active it won't use any resources and create costs.

- higher level of abstraction: if a piece of software fits well into the FaaS abstraction, it should be more productive to implement and operate it on the FaaS level over lower levels (PaaS, container, IaaS, etc.) K8s in particular is quite a complicated system to target by an app, which is why Knative was started.

If Lambda makes it easy to call other cloud services, I'd say that's a side-effect of a good FaaS implementation. Bringing this benefit to other function services should be a matter of using the right libraries.

> We need a third viable option in the mobile space

Agree. It feels like apple respect users privacy which is great, but are you not interested in ios you are stuck with android and how google collects everything about its users, which feels really bad. I also think that "google play store" is rather bad. So it really needs competition here and a 3rd option.

What I really hope is that Microsoft (which have the muscles) should embrace android fully and build an "MS android app store" and an ecosystem around it for android so there could be an real option and competition to google and "google play store" on android.

WP died a lot because it did have to few apps. But because this should be android, developers shouldn't need to convert any apps, just simple upload the same app to "MS android app store" too, more or less. This way they could get a lot of apps in their app store and fast. To get developers to upload they could give better deals (ex lower %) and for users they could give an better user experience, focus on privacy like apple to differentiate them self from google and play store etc to get traction and popularity.

If MS did and got some traction, smartphone manufacturers would have an real option not to be forced to install play store and all googles apps just to be able to sell their phones, because there whould be an viable option for it users to download all android apps they want anyways. And competition is always good for consumers.
At least for me, I would love to buy an android phone without google, with someone that respected and focused on privacy, and with an good app store out of the box.

HN is still relatively low scale. The average comment is still of reasonable quality. I’ve only been trolled a few times here.

Thanks for the succinct sumary, even having read the article it provides a good starting point for discussion in it's content.

This is the bit I'm worried about, alongside Tim's reference to fake news earlier in the article:

>They make it clear that individual citizens have a responsibility to act with compassion and challenge negative behavior they wouldn’t tolerate offline

'They' being governments and institutions, who Tim want to make responsible for policing free speech. If this isn't going to be a horrible, apocalyptically bad mistake "acting with compassion" and "negative behavior" had better be very carefully defined.

The Economist published an article earlier this year by an Ahmadi Muslim arguing that Geert Wilders' cartoon contest for depictions of Mohamed should be banned. I can undertand abhorrence to such an abusive stunt, but as I pointed out in a comment on the article, Ahmadiyas themselves have been persecuted in Pakistan of 'insulting Mohamed' because their beliefs about him contradict Sunni teachings. When one person's religious belief is another person's heresy, you have to be very careful about how you go about 'challenging negative behaviour'. Bear in mind the governments Tim wants to enlist in doing this include Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, etc, etc.

Fake news is a devilishly difficult thing to define, as is negative behaviour. Tread softly Tim!
One paragraph:

> From 2012 to 2016, according to manifest records reviewed by Reuters, MedCure shipped body parts valued at a total of more than $500,000 from the United States to the Netherlands. MedCure said it helps connect donors and scientific, research and medical entities. "We are an accredited and regulated institution and adhere to the best-in-class industry standards for safety ethics, and transparency," the company said in a statement to Reuters.

Followed by:

> Freek Dikkers, the professor of ear, nose and throat medicine at the AMC whose department bought the heads, said it was stopping after learning that the company solicits donors at hospices and old age homes and that its former owners earned millions from the trade. Dikkers said that was “unacceptable.”

Something does not add up. How can you be a champion of "transparency" while your clients ignore (or pretend to ignore?) how you source the parts?
