Read my article, every individual you mentioned shares the love of cruelty to others and that's the central thesis of the article. Trump is merely their avatar:

>Somewhere on the wide spectrum between adolescent teasing and the smiling white men in the lynching photographs are the Trump supporters whose community is built by rejoicing in the anguish of those they see as unlike them, who have found in their shared cruelty an answer to the loneliness and atomization of modern life.
I'm on the other side of a negotiation, so I thought I'd share my perspective.

I bought a domain I was planning on using, but never ended up doing anything with it. I know that the domain I own may not have a high value now, but I believe it will be much more valuable in the future. It's an investment. A prospective buyer needs to make a good offer, otherwise I would prefer just to hold onto it. I'm perfectly happy holding onto it till I need it, or with some luck, someone makes a decent offer.

Supply and demand are just two aspects of what determines a price both buyers and sellers agree on. Just because no one else is hounding me for my domain, doesn't mean I will settle for less. Among other things, there is a prospective value that has an impact on price, much like overpriced shares of companies that have promise, but aren't yet making a profit.
Except the whole skills gap thing is basically a way of businesses communicating that the labor market is weak enough to ask for higher qualified workers at lower salary:

Trade-offs are not that binary in real life. There is a reason you do not live in the biggest house possible, you choose to forgo a bigger house to pay for other necessities.

And these marginal trade-offs are exactly what drive the normal economy - small improvements for price-conscious consumers. As much as I may agree something is essential, that doesn't mean I think it should be one size fits all or centrally allocated.
SA is completely in favor of automation and actually calls for reducing the workweek. But under capitalism, automation is used to drive down wages and increase the ranks of the unemployed, which is the primary concern of the (growing amount of) people who are living paycheck to paycheck or unemployed.

You don't want the sidebars to scale with the screen though, just the middle. And as I recall the obvious solution of just setting a fixed width on the two outer divs and letting the middle one autoscale didn't work for some stupid reason. Maybe because they scaled to the content, not the width of the remaining space.

I work for a marketing agency that is also a Salesforce partner. However, I only do Salesforce Commerce Cloud. Or is it B2C Cloud nowadays? There's been a few rebrandings since I started using it. It was originally Demandware, and we liked it that way!

We have a handful of clients we build and maintain sites for. Some older, some newer. I don't have exact numbers, but if a vendor isn't pushing $5 million+ annual sales, Commerce Cloud doesn't make sense.

When I started, code was tied together with "pipelines", which were basically flowcharts[0]. (Newer sites use a controller model.) Later on, new sites had a modularized JS and SASS system held together by node.js scripts, along with tightening PCI requirements (TLS 1.1/1.2+, 2 factor auth required for code and asset uploads (client side certs with WebDAV)).

The front ends are tied into Cloudflare automatically, and the back end has always been through a highly restricted ORM. The whole platform is laser focused on e-commerce, and as soon as you step away from the strict add-to-cart/wishlist and checkout model, the platform is horribly suited. It doesn't do newsletter management, reviews, or address deduplication well (better to integrate with external services), and file/image uploads are a pain in the ass. It only has enough CMS features to sell things; you can use it as a corporate blog, but it's not that well suited if you have a marketing department that changes everything and wants something "completely new" on a weekly basis.

I've had a good experience. For the times we've needed it, Salesforce support has been effective.

This "No one is forcing someone to do X" is not how monopoly rules work. By that logic, no company would ever be a monopoly. You dont like X? Have you consider not doing it?

Microsoft wasnt forcing anyone to buy PCs. It is for people who choose to do that ("the market") that the company is unfairly wielding the power.
How have you tested the failure modes?

I worked with a battery backup disk controller once, that had redundant failover to a duplicate unit. It worked great for many months with flawless failover. Except when one of the internal batteries died, the whole system deadlocked and the 24/7 nonstop cluster was down for days.

The more layers, the more unpredictable the failure modes.
Depends on the aircraft. Some modern jetliners are using fly-by-wire, while others have hydraulically-boosted controls. Some still rely on cable-and-pulley.

Either way, as I understand, it wouldn't matter with the MCAS-related MAX aircraft crashes. The elevator trim is able to move the entire elevator (literally, the entire elevator moves in response to the jackscrew controlled by the trim system) to such an extent that, depending on CG, airspeed, and other factors, it cannot be overpowered by moving the control surface to its full deflection. So whether or not the MAX had boosted controls or fly-by-wire probably wouldn't have mattered in the case the aircraft were trimmed fully nose-down. The pilots would have been struggling to maintain control either way. That's why there's stabilizer trim cut-out switches and manual trim.

I'd highly recommend Mentour Pilot's videos on the subject, links below:

The other thing that has happened is the internet and the free flow of information. It is no longer the case of manipulating 3-4 media outlets. People get their information at thousands of different places. I think its not really a loss of credibility, but the normalization of credibility based on a huge pool of information, rather than a restricted one.
You make a good point. The US Army treated contract surgeons terribly in the 19th century. Look at the case of Dr. Porter from Custer's Last Stand, he didn't even get an award for his bravery.
> I generally give 5 stars because giving a low rating (a) could cost me, by leading the driver to retaliate with a low rating for me, and (b) has negligible benefit to me.

Someone said elsewhere in this thread that the driver only sees your rating after they've rated you. Although I'm not sure if it's possible for them to go back and change their rating of you if they see you've rated them poorly.
That is actually understating it. The libressl developers purged the code base of the FIPS stuff as part of a policy. From here:

I'm sitting at 4.97 in LA - but I ride a lot. And my ratings scale for drivers is similar - 5 star for normal, compliments for things above that, <4 stars for "you did something obviously wrong, WTF" level service.

As for racial / protected class bias in ratings - I'm not sure what Uber would hit that something like Tinder wouldn't, since all the ratings are from other "users".
Ratings are way too arbitrary. I only give perfect scores in very rare situations. 5 stars to me means I can literally not think of anything that could be improved. I can always come up with a way something isn't perfect.

> a component-based approach to UI development

This is actually something that bothers me a lot about Angular. Yes, you can extract components, but the process of doing so is a lot more... heavyweight than in React.

In React, I can trivially extract any piece of UI into a stateless functional component in the same file (and later on I can move it to another file for wider reuse if needed). It's just like extracting a method in non-web programming, it's something you do without even thinking about it.

In Angular, that component needs to live in a separate file with a bunch of boilerplate and it needs to be registered in the module. This is OK for big components, but it's enough work that it's not practical to create tiny helper components frequently.

"... not as effective as providing quality public housing."

That is so far fetched. We can't even build more than 10% of the housing we need, much less add enough public housing.
competition and capitalism work well to drive technological improvement in conditions of extreme scarcity such as existed 100+ years ago. of course, it does this pretty violently.

there's no reason to believe it is better than democratic, central planning (note: not stalinism) in either this or the last century. public planning would, of course, go out of its way to incentivize automation and further technological improvement... something that has historically been publicly funded anyway.

edit: typos and stuff
I don't know how to break the echo chamber issue, but one thing I don't like about the news market is that they are advertisement-based. Or rather the consequences that come from that, for example the long articles where they spread the important points over the whole text so that I spend a lot of time on the site. If I just jump to the article, stay for 10 secs and then leave this is considered to be negative, but if I get all my news points in those 10 seconds its great for me. And the click-bait titles because they want the views etc...

So I imagine if say 1000 people make a wish to get a story covered and they even fund the wish, and the wish is "make a very short summary of this... including the following points..." then they can earn money by delivering on that. The result might be a very short article where people spend only 10 seconds and with a boring title, but they would still earn money with that.
I am not surprised. IMHO, MailChimp as a product has not been making sense for email marketing for a while now. I moved out of it around 6 months back.

Now, in the light of all these changes, it is going to be a wake-up call for a lot of other users especially the ones whose core use case is indeed email marketing.

Btw until I read this article - I was not aware of the details around "Additional Charges"!

Seeing that Spotify hasn’t been allowing new subscriptions in the App Store for years, they aren’t paying the 30% fee. That was actually called out in the article.
I don't think this is a fair criticism in this particular case. I ride the Caltrain and Bart 5 days a week, for about 3 hours per day. I have never once seen a train car where everyone was looking at their phones. I see people talking with those accompanying them, reading books, grading their students' homework, programming on their laptops, staring out the window, listening to music, people-watching, trying to avoid the ticket checkers, asking other passengers about which stop to get off at or about their dog. Other cities I've lived in or visited also don't seem to have everyone glued to their phones. On a particularly bad day perhaps 60% of people will be looking at their phones. On a good day maybe just 1 or 2 will be.

I think people have this image in their heads of some imagined past where strangers made friendly banter on public transit, before technology got in the way. But people were never idyllically friendly with one another on the train and not everyone today is blindly tapping away at Angry Birds or Snapchat.
If I sell paper cups to Walmart they will take a 12-17% cut for “entitlements”. I can’t compete with the white label house brand on price that doesn’t have those entitlements. The house brand can also operate on a razor thin margin because that product isn’t critical to their business. This is why when you go into pretty much any grocery, electronics, automotive or whatever store the house brand is always at least a dollar cheaper.

This argument is so much FUD.

A paper cup company sells their cups to Walmart at wholesale prices. Walmart buys all the cups they sell in their stores, including the "Walmart brand" generic cups, and so "resells" them to the end customer. Because Walmart is "reselling" the cups, it can charge whatever it wants on whatever products it wants.

Not even remotely the same thing to what Apple does: Apple just claims to be a transaction processor facilitating a direct sale between an app-maker and a customer. Except that Apple charges its competition 30% and itself nothing.

They use to use this sort of scenario as the textbook example of antitrust violations. Antitrust enforcement fell out of favor in the West following the actions against Microsoft, but it looks like the EU is girding up to start enforcing it again.
It also keeps me from developing some niche app to scratch an itch and share that with the world for free. Sure, I can always just release the code on Github and let people compile it themselves, but unless the app is for developers who own Apple computers, very few are probably going to take advantage of that. I'm certainly not going to pay $99/yr to publish that app, but I might if there were no fee. That said, maybe that app would fall into your "hello world" category and shouldn't be published anyway.

Related: Quite some time ago [Edit: OMG it was 10 years ago!] I had a game on the App Store that I stopped updating and pulled because the $99 fee wasn't covered by the low number of downloads. Many people were still playing the game at the time, but I just couldn't justify the cost.
This puts to rest all illusions and fantasies of 'free markets', competition, choice and free trade. Markets are political constructs and there is nothing inherently free or fair about them.

There is clearly one set of rules in operation for a chosen few whose companies get access to global markets without fearmongering and thus can grow uninhibited and then the real world where evidence-free scaremongering, demonization and sanctions are used to limit market access, sabotage others and destroy competition before it forms.

And citizens of the former get the privilege of articulating a set of free market values in a depoliticized context free world that don't hold in the real world. But its better this happens than it doesn't so the rest of the world can see through the self serving hypocrisy and plan accordingly. Those with this mindset will always find a way to limit others.
I agree Uber's not a monopoly, but I also think crappy taxi companies are a local problem.

I don't use Uber or taxis often, but have used both several times over the years. There's never been a practical difference for me. If anything, Uber is less convenient because I need to sign up and install an app. Maybe one was a little cheaper, but not so much that I noticed.

> It's that they should operate in a competitive environment

Apple operates in a competitive environment. There are hundreds of other options to choose from.

Unless you mean the App Store should be competitive within the iPhone. Why? How many layers deep do we need to ensure a perfectly competitive and open environment? If I put an app (say, a VM) on the App Store that has its own operating system and contained app store, am I now obligated to allow people to put their own app store in my app?

> without unreasonable barriers to entry

In what world is 30% "unreasonable?"

Companies have the option of going to the App Store. There is no obligation for a company to use the App Store. They are not being cut out of the smartphone industry if they don't use the App Store. Apple is not a monopoly here - there are other options than the iPhone for you to sell your service on.

This is a self fulfilling prophecy. Whether the services are like you describe is largely a function of government competence, attention to detail, culture etc. Compare the Greek Internal Revenue Service to the German one. One did not manage to collect even basic taxes on a population that actually had a lot of real estate property, the other one has a pretty good track record (far from perfect of course). When it mattered the Ecole de Mines (A french grand ecole) produced some of the best mine inspectors, that had a fantastic salary (Poincare was one of them).

If you run your country properly and efficiently, none of the things that you mention
must be true. This is really a question of mindset and culture, nothing more.
Of course rich people and their lap dogs, like Milton Friedman would like you to
believe differently. Ultimately if the private sector outcompetes the public sector
for (most of) the best and brightest, you will end up in a situation like in the US. At various
points in time, you could not achieve much higher prestige than being an elite public servant
in France (all the grand ecoles recruited for that) or be part of the diplomatic corps in
Germany. Some of these positions still have very competitive salary to this day.

Hopefully converting government services to digital services (the German government is planning to do this for all of its ~500 functions over the next decade) will eliminate a lot of the lower / middle management in the administration.
