Have to transition taxis from meter to set-pricing first. The uncertainty of getting into a cab and agreeing to pay an unknown price is a big part of why I avoid them.

I’ve been hit with a ridiculous price at the end of a ride enough to distrust the whole concept of giving them a blank check.
Blocking scraping is the norm for Google, for instance the Public Youtube API allows you to view a grand total of 3 or so videos per key per day before it starts blocking you.

Google has basically got as bad as twitter in terms of giving a big middle finger to third party devs, but they have been smart enough to maintain a completely useless public/free tier for most things.

Crouch on your toes, put your hands over your ears. Being as low as possible, and keeping only your toes on the ground rather than the rest of your feet, makes your body a less useful (hence less likely) conduit to the ground.

I think this can be a two way street. I don't own a retail business, but I feel like, as a general rule, clients who complain about things like parking tend to not be the best clients.

I think it's totally valid in the sandwich shop example, where people will literally choose something else based on what they have to walk past to get to your door.

But for a professional service where you have an ongoing relationship worth potentially thousands of dollars per year, if someone is put off by a lack of front row parking, what other utterly trivial things are they going to find fault with? Those tend to be the clients that ask for the world and get it at a bargain and then still complain about the bill.

It's not that I'm not happy to go the extra mile for good clients, but there are definitely good clients and not good clients and creating a rule that you should always delight everyone all the time means you're going to waste a lot of time trying to delight people who complain about having to walk across the parking lot...
Closest I could get:

`Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('table tbody tr')).sort((a, b) => { const yearA = parseInt(a.querySelector('td:nth-child(3)').innerText) || 2019, yearB = parseInt(b.querySelector('td:nth-child(3)').innerText) || 2019; return yearB - yearA; }).forEach(tr => { tr.remove(); document.querySelector('table tbody').insertAdjacentElement('afterbegin', tr) });`
Sigh...why is it so hard for you to answer this question?

In a world where you are convinced by the evidence that anthropogenic climate change is real and poses a grave threat to humanity over the next century, what does that evidence look like?

I'm not remotely qualified to read your long article and try and either debunk it or determine that yes, it does indeed have real scientific merit despite its disagreement with the overwhelming consensus by experts in the relevant fields. Nor do I particularly feel the need to. I lump anthropogenic climate change in with evolution: I don't have the expertise to evaluate the evidence myself but it seems like virtually everyone who does is on one side of the argument. That's good enough for me.

Maybe things would be better if people paid for their own health care? Having workers pay for their own healthcare along with the healthcare of those who are unwilling/unable to work just means that things are going to be expensive for workers.

No. In REST, the client is responsible for resolving IDs into entities.

This is why the exchanges exist. They're huge pools of people on a group rate. New York state negotiates with insurers on my behalf, and is additionally able to regulate their premium increases each year.

if you enjoy this form of life, then do it. there is no need to elevate such contrived experiences into why your business is successful

I just don't think this fits a lot of our aspirations. I do not aspire to be a small business owner with a tangible brick and mortar service and in a place that gets to -30 degrees fahrenheit. This would mean a lot of things have gone horribly wrong in my life. Shoehorning in the idea that I would enjoy giving a contrived customer experience by walking the furthest across a parking lot and thats the secret to making my customers love me and my service? This is the furthest stretch of reality, Dave Chapelle would say "and even that guy didn't kill himself"

this article is interesting because it is relatable: a lot of people are accepting of these circumstances and want to know how to optimize their life and be a part of their community. and I'm just giving my one perspective that I also think is relatable to others that might be perplexed by it

My wife just took a job at a place that has a 'good' health insurance plan.

If she opted into it, her contribution would be ~$300/month, her employer's contribution would be $900/month.

If she wanted to cover me with it, her contribution would be $1,500/month, and her employer's would be $900/month.

Unsurprisingly, we did not take advantage of this, and she remains on my insurance (Since my employer handles 90% of the premium for both of us.)

When we were still dating, I had a good look at what the $300/month health plans provided. Absolutely flippin nothing. Deductibles of $8,000/year, and co-pays of 25%. If all you can afford is a $300/month plan, there's no way in hell you can afford an $8,000/year + 25% medical bill.

Meanwhile, Canada provides universal healthcare for $5,200 USD/year/person, with similar health outcomes.

Edit: fixed a typo in the employer's contribution.

Perhaps even more significant is that Uber gave you the price of the trip in advance. With regular taxis you had to guess, and if you weren't familiar with area, you best guess might well be just "expensive". And then you had to worry about being ripped off.

People in urban centers, I think, don't realize how spread out much of the US is.

Yes, riding your bike in an urban area is often more or less as fast / convenient as driving. However, driving at 70mph vs biking at say 15mph, the time difference adds up very quickly once you are out in open country.

Not to mention that there is very well built infrastructure for driving, while biking often means going on that same infrastructure with a 50mph difference between you and the rest of the traffic. Basically if you are riding on a bike on a highway, you need to act as if you were invisible and expect that cars may actively try to kill you.

Getting insurance as an individual is expensive because you’re not part of a group plan. With a group plan the insurance company has some reason to believe you’re not collectively a bunch of dying people committing moral hazard, you’re just one of a generally similar looking company workforce.

If employers stopped providing it, I think it is presumed that the mentality towards individual plans would change

Absolutely. Calorie counting was hard for the first bit, but pretty soon you determine your "regulars" and just go off those.

This is talked about in the book "Peopleware", that states the opposite. Imposing tight deadlines often stresses people out, causing them to miss creative solutions that would save time. Instead they chose the obvious, longer, safe route.

That's what the data in the book seemed to point to. Programmers with no deadlines were more productive then programmers put in the control group. However there might be data showing otherwise, I would be open to it.

In reference to making it hard to quit a service... "In reality, it is a great way to ensure a customer never comes back and likely does not recommend the company to others. This approach is trading short term greed for long term growth. A leader obsessed with customer experience would make sure canceling their service is painless as it will likely lead to revenue in other ways -- counterintuitive right?"

I want to believe. But seeing how painful it is to leave Facebook + iCloud, I find this hard to believe. It feels idealistic, but I wonder if the data says otherwise. People are lazy. It's unethical. But people are lazy.
I don't think everyone's getting one just because they are afraid. However, even very low probability events with very severe consequences may warrant having some kind of automatic emergency beacon... although in retrospect I guess this is exactly what you are saying. Eh, maybe this will be useful to someone anyway.

Think of it in terms of a risk assessment[1]. If you are engaging in an activity, you should look at the probability of injury and then the consequences if that occurs.

For example, I'm going mountain biking by myself. The area I'm riding in has a loose surface, but no extreme hills or other features. So it's somewhat likely I'll fall, but the consequence of that won't be extreme. Conversely, I'm riding in a hilly area with a rough but grippy surface. Relatively, the probability of a fall may be lower, but the consequence could be much higher.

Using this type of not-exactly-quantitative reasoning, depending on what you are doing (and the consequences of something going wrong), it may be very reasonable to buy a smart watch or something similar just for this purpose.

No, the claim is true.

Under the UPU, the USPS is required to charge Chinese shippers a "terminal fee" for packages shipped from China. However, due to China being classified as a "transitional country" it had extremely low terminal fee rates.

Combined with China subsidizing shipping for export-based businesses, it was generally cheaper for a business in Shenzen to ship small/light products by post than for an American business to ship an equivalent product by USPS across the street.

The deal secured by the US allows the USPS to begin charging new terminal fee rates beginning next summer. Presumably the new rates will change the economics of this situation, but in the meantime Chinese shippers still have at least a year to continue these subsidized shenanigans.
This “I don’t need a car to commute from SF to SF therefore nobody anywhere needs a car for any reason” attitude pops up at least twice a week here and is so tiring.

Ok so you're right, you could drive to your local postal office and if you are commercially shipping stuff you can do destination delivery unit (DDU) and get a 13 oz mug to your next door neighbor for $2.02. So let's assume the fair cost of last mile delivery for a 13 oz mug is $2.02. The Chinese knockoff mug cost on ebay $5.69 including shipping from China. So if the Chinese seller was paying fair last-mile delivery (which they weren't), they would be manufacturing and shipping a 13 oz mug to a local postal office in America for $3.67.

Problems sure are easy to solve when you look at them through a toilet-paper tube, in isolation from everything else the solution might affect.

If they can be stripped of anonymity, they did not have anonymity in the first place. But it is telling that she notes "Workers are far less likely to sexually harass fellow employees", but does not connect it to how workers might get retaliated against for trying to unionize, when every union advocate online can be identified. To say nothing of whistle-blowers. Want to publicize the abusive conditions in a prison? Be prepared to "own your own words" and expose your relatives incarcerated there to retaliation.

Of course, this solution fails to pass even the toilet-paper tube standard - what about (potential) harassment victims that use anonymity as a shield? Are they to trust in the benevolence and competence of whatever multinational corporation they will hand their real identity to, to be allowed to participate in the online public sphere? When every month we learn of some new giant hack, and who knows how many happen that we don't learn about?

I cannot begin to express my disgust for an 'expert genius' that fails to consider even such elementary consequences.
> never compete on price for that exact reason

no, you should compete on price if you are the low cost producer, as my neighbor comment notes. monopolists frequently are the low cost producer because of economies of scale, scope, etc.

another "compete on price" strategy is if you are the disruptive upstart: you have small market share, so your losses (tangible and intangible) will be lower compared the losses suffered by the fat lazy high-multiples incumbent who must satisfy angry shareholders when they see profit eroding.
Sadly, with that we can't know if it's actually something that occurred, an anecdote, or something conceived of to explain a failure or bias.
