My own experience in e-commerce was that Salesforce came in to a couple of companies I worked at and it wasn't a fit. Which was weird.

I recently looked for a platform for CRM, invoicing, project management and communication, and Salesforce didn't really have anything out of the box (or within a reasonable distance of a read-to-go-box) for that either. There was little off-the-shelf available... not even starter packs, which I found a bit curious.

Ended up going with Accelo, which I think of as one level up from a bare Salesforce install.

My conclusion.. albeit not entirely informed, is that I probably am happiest never working in a company, or with a client, that's oriented around Salesforce processes.

I think sound design is one of the few domains that really really benefits from visual programming languages. You really can't work effectively without 1. instant feedback and 2. the ability to quickly alter the signal path. I know there are live sound textual programming environments, but anything more complicated than changing individual values is going to break the creative flow if you have to create new files, modify imports, etc. Doing this by dragging around nodes and edges in a graph is intuitive enough to allow you to stay focused on the act of creation instead of the implementation details. This, and the fact that DSP is fundamentally a data flow problem, make visual programming environments the ideal UI for advanced sound design.

Strictly speaking, this is true, but note that using modern datasets (like the ones used by Google/Bing Maps with the extensive lidar/photogrammetric/whatever 3D data) and modern internet speeds and infrastructure for streaming map data (again like what's used for Google/Bing Maps/Earth) will mean that the filled in areas are far more expensive and detailed than in flight sims of the past that had to assemble their own scenery and distribute it themselves via one-time download or physical media

> She also claims their assessment of people signing up to KitSplit is effective at blocking 99.99% of bad actors

Elsewhere is the figure 0.1%, off by a factor of 10. It's not clear whether 1 in 1000 or 1 in 10000 rentals results in theft.

However, just because 1 in 1000 rentals results in theft doesn't mean one's assessment is 99.9% effective in blocking bad actors.

Bad actors are currently a tiny minority of their users. Apparently 1 in 1000. If you blocked 99.99% of them, then theft would drop to 1 in 10,000,000 rentals. Her claimed numbers make no sense in the context of their actual theft rates. And yes, legally under criminal law it is theft, it is not voluntary parting. Voluntary parting does not appear to be a principle from criminal law and instead is something invented by insurance industry contract attorneys to deny responsibility for insurance claims.
How much more does this "voluntary parting insurance" cost?

Back-of-envelope for a $3500 replacement cost @ .1% chance of loss, the nominal insurance cost is $3.50. Double that for the insurance premium, so maybe $7. That's 10% of the owner's cut, which definitely seems worth it in hindsight.

Yup. A "legal person" like a corporation in the USA must have legal counsel to represent them in court, even small claims.

Court sucks. Any lawyer will tell you that you don't want the judge making the decision for you. They'll buy you a new camera if they are smart and fix their process.

Otherwise they will spend a lot more on lawyers than they ever would making you whole.

This happened to someone else in a writeup in November of last year. There's no "peace of mind" when renting on KitSplit. They say "We've got you covered" but this can happen easily. How can they have you "covered" when your stuff can be stolen by "voluntary parting".

I put forth that KitSplit is a middleman which provides nothing to the experience and their percentage carries no value. It is not in your interest to rent anything through them vs craigslist.
I wonder if it would cost as much as the F35 program. I'd rather pay for a junkie's health care than a token national alliance tech project jet that no one needs.

"Note that 'glass' is a hugely varied class of materials, so without knowing much more we can't make spot judgements about the validity of the claim."

It depends. What sort of music are you into? If you like funk and want to play weedly weedly bass sounds, you buy a Moog monosynth and you're set. If you want to play trance or dance styles then you figure out arpeggiators and sequencers and get to know the synth architecture so well that you can program it on the fly, because many styles of music are about taking a simple repeating motif and redoing it in different tonal colors. If you want to play synths as backing instruments in a rock or pop combo buy a workstation keyboard from Korg or Yamaha.

You said, "There's a long and mostly bad history of claims…" which I interpreted — I think reasonably — as asserting that these past claims were false. (In what other sense can a claim be bad?) I was rebutting that reasonable interpretation of what you said, not a strawman. I am pleased to see that you are not claiming that the paper is false.

False conclusions hypothetically jumped to by finance-obsessed man-children and brogrammers, in JWZ's immortal phrase, are not my problem. Mere assertion that their perspectives are relevant does not constitute an argument for their relevance. In fact, nobody in this thread has so far suggested storing their replica of the npm archive, their ML training data, or their porn collection on one of these discs, so your concern seems to be entirely without an empirical foundation.

Neither a borrower nor a lender be.

The whole idea sounds idiotic. Let other people touch your gear because the internet and websites?

Real rental agreements for expensive, big ticket items usually involve deposits and agreements signed in blood, because... what could possibly go wrong.

To wade into such things, chest deep no less, is almost as if to invite problems because you smelled blood in the water and went looking for a fight.

Letting random people run wild with your stuff sounds stupid. And if you've ever rented a car, you know what the attitude is toward stuff that isn't yours.

To look at their website, it reeks of naive people with expensive cameras. The potent radiation it emits is enough for me to steer clear. I can easily see that letting anyone touch my stuff because that website sent them my way, is to watch an event horizon envelop and spaghettify it into a black hole, never to return.

If, by chance, I do get it back, it only means that I too am now trapped inside the black hole, and shall forever exist in this alternate plane of existence, in which I can only dive deeper and deeper into more black holes, until the exceptional moment when I don't get my stuff back, and I can rest assured that the last black hole I entered was really a worm hole returning me to the real world.

That's not necessarily the worst thing, the cost of arbitration to the company is likely more than 0 (and maybe not even less than small claims) so I'll guess most companies would eagerly settle for at least the cost of the arbitration--they really can't lose. Uber is famously dealing with this right now, and it's costing them around $10K apiece[1] so it seems possible the cost to KitSplit would be more than this camera's worth.

>If you're pointing at a blob of 100+ people (like you said, support is also being blamed) then you're not making it personal.

Ahh, I see. So it's okay that he was offensive and insulting, because he was offensive and insulting to many people? It wouldn't have been okay if he was offensive and insulting to only a handful of people, but because it was more than that, it's okay? Is this some weird perversion of "one death is a tragedy, 1000 deaths is a statistic"?

He isn't pointing the blame at a large group inside an "opaque" company. He's insulting people. The people at Verizon will know full well that he is talking to them. People that work with the Verizon NOC will know full well that those specific people are being insulted by this CEO. The fact that it was personally directed at multiple people doesn't make it any less personal, it just makes it personal to more people, no matter how much you move the goalposts.

> I'm not sure if the vitriol helped exactly but I think Verizon did enough to deserve it that there's no need to berate Cloudflare for the vitriol itself.

So it didn't help to berate Verizon, but it was still okay because they "deserved it"? And then you don't apply the same logic to Cloudflare themselves? There absolutely is a need to berate Cloudflare for their unnecessary use of vitriol, especially if you're telling me the bar for berating someone is as low as "it didn't help but that's okay".

It's clear at this point that you're moving goalposts and adjusting your own principles in some weird attempt to defend Cloudflare. Cloudflare did nothing positive here, and your attempt to justify their vitriol and maliciousness is telling.

Craigslist legally is better. I can look at the person's driver's license myself, and have him sign a legally binding contract agreeing to return the item (like all rental shops do) and I can even collect a deposit that I won't return if he doesn't return.

That is much much much better than this scenario. It's a big mystery also how the company claims to take a deposit for the full value of the equipment, and then apparently just keeps the deposit themselves when the item is stolen? Really?

The difference there is that in that case KitSplit compensated the owner.

They declined to compensate here presumably because they didn't think that he can raise a stink - the original piece was on petapixel which is really popular with photographers.
They claim they've stopped "millions of dollars of theft", but how about "voluntary parting" since its apparently not "theft"? How much "voluntary parting" have they stopped?
Thank you! I've been wondering about what the heck Salesforce is for ages :)

Seems like a lot of enterprise software boils down to integrating enterprise data for a some domain, mapping it to an ontology, and then building a plugin framework, dashboards, alerts and workflow management on top of that. (I don't mean to imply it's easy, just that it's a successful general template if you happen to have domaine expertise in a domain without a dominant existing SaaS player.)
Yes Tether moves Bitcoin because it's literally people in Asia who want to dump their fiat to buy Bitcoin. There is no grand conspiracy here, people tried to claim Tether were printing money out of thin air to drive up BTC but even the NYSAG had a look at their operation and found no such result.
Having worked for a competitor that was later acquired by GoFundMe, the reality we faced was that we could determine pretty quickly whether a fundraiser was going to be successful within 48hrs or so. While we spent a lot of time developing tools to help people setup a good fundraiser which would increase their chances, for the most part, it just came down to their extended social network.

Most people came to our service directly to give to a specific fundraiser (as opposed to coming to our site to find a fundraiser to give) and while we did things like "now that you gave here, check out this" type features, the results were somewhat lackluster. If I were to start a compassionate crowdfunding site today, I'd try to build it in such a way that it could be embedded into niche communities that are both to gather content, support, and fundraising.

The whole experience is that it was fantastic to work with people really dedicated to the mission and feeling like you are making a difference. On the other hand, it's hard also not to change your mind on how healthcare is viewed in the US, that the majority of Americans are one car transmission away from a downward spiral into poverty, and while I appreciate GoFundMe and other compassionate crowdfunding sites, a high tech only, private enterprise solution is not always the best way to solve humanities problems. Coming from a die hard capitalist, that's saying something.
> What if you shop before the emergency?

That's called buying health insurance.
Our legal system does disagree, it is theft.

The voluntary parting is a concept invented by insurance companies to deny liability. It has nothing to do with criminal law which sees this as prosecutable criminal theft.
> She also claims their assessment of people signing up to KitSplit is effective at blocking 99.99% of bad actors and stopping millions of dollars of theft on the platform

Interesting way to phrase it: "..effective at blocking 99.99% of bad actors". It sounds precise yet it is anything but because it says nothing about how many "bad actors" there are. Hundreds? Thousands? Millions? And over what period of time? A year? A day? 5 minutes? Any one of those factors could make orders of magnitude difference to the chance that one's property will be stolen.

If fraud were really as infrequent as they seem to suggest, then it seems like they should be able to absorb the losses. As it is, it appears they've so far concluded that the negative publicity will cost them less than the actual losses.

It does not seem that the insurance company has deceived anyone about what is and is not covered. The deception is in how KitSplit insinuates that renters are covered when they are not.

> has a million people in detention for practicing moderate Islam

I'm not going to claim to be an expert on what's going on in Xinjiang, but then again, 99% of the people who give their opinions on it aren't. This isn't an issue of "moderate Islam." China has a pretty significant Hui Muslim population (much larger than the Uighur population), which does not face the same issues. The issue in Xinjiang has to do with "East Turkestan" separatism, not Islam per se. The Chinese government really does not like separatism.

> claims sovereignty over Tibet, Taiwan and Hong Kong despite vigorous protest from all the aforementioned

Those territories are all internationally recognized as being part of China. Hong Kong was handed back to China by the UK as the result of a treaty. Tibet was never internationally recognized as an independent state. Taiwan is the most complicated issue. Most countries, including the United States, recognize only "one China," which is the PRC. The RoC (Taiwan) also officially recognizes only "one China," which it claims to represent. Funnily enough, Taiwan's territorial claims are even more expansive than those of the PRC, since Taiwan still officially considers Mongolia to be part of China. All those islands in the South China Sea? Taiwan also claims them (and it occupies more of them than the PRC does).
Yeah, and those risks are why we have so much regulation which is why we have such high costs. It's a tough problem.
Estimates for the cost of the F35 program vary widely, but a decent guess is 1-1.5 trillion over 50 years or 20 to 30 billion a year.

The US currently spends ~3.5 trillion per year on health care.

So yes, taxpayer funded health care would cost as much as the F35 program. In fact, quite a bit more. Perhaps 150x more per year.
