While true that economies in their various forms can form unsympathetic relationships between producers and consumers, it seems that, broadly speaking, producers who align more strongly with consumer satisfaction tend to ‘win’ and those who

I agree that they should be subject to whatever consumer protection laws are in place for the regions in which they operate; I disagree however that they should be viewed as utilities for the purpose of legislation. I’m unconvinced that acc

Agreed on that point. When too many services fall under a single umbrella of “[Company Name] Account”, the loss of access to the account as a whole because of some kind of transgression on one sliver of [Company Name]’s services is just a f

While I don’t disagree in particular that Apple should offer support for account recovery, and that a resolution shouldn’t require knowing the CEO’s email address and crossed fingers, I don’t necessarily follow the logic that ‘they store my

To answer the question in the plainest way: the possible revenue potential from the unhappy customer if turned to a satisfied recurring customer. This is really just a question of the opportunity cost, which can vary.

This specific issue: no, not likely. It is possible for a SvelteKit application to vary in execution in the `dev` environment versus production because the contexts can be somewhat different, at least with certain adapters, but this isn’t

Given the examples, the proposal seems overly-fixated on the ergonomics within JSX, which isn’t JavaScript. It seems more appropriate to just extend JSX so as not to introduce yet another layer of syntax to JavaScript (which is too complex

Did you consider endpoint composition? Instead of making 7 API requests (via fetch, or whatever), provide an endpoint that’s simply the composition of the 7 endpoints.

That’s not accurate to say. A person may be accused of racism due to a misperception (or even fabrication) from another person’s perspective, and in such a case that’s not “an example of being racist”. Anyone can accuse anyone of anything;

I don't see that as counterintuitive. People wouldn't call for or desire for more police so they could have more encounters with more courtesy or more respect — they'd want more police because they feel it increases their lev

Any public figure who speaks on anything is subject to criticism. That Musk has accomplished much isn’t actually relevant any specific comments he’s made. Whether the article is overlay harsh, though, I can’t really say.

My price-matching experience is — consistently — that a manager is called over to okay a displayed competitor's price on my phone, and the manager simply gives the okay without questioning or validating. I've never had a competito

Maybe, but breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the many other tweens and variations are really just different words to describe meals. So let’s axe the distinction between them and simply call them “meals”.

I wasn’t arguing that fonts are more or less complex than photos, but that from the perspective of implementation and/or copyright, fonts are more like photos (which are implicitly under copyright in the U.S.) than the subject of a pho

It's a common misconception that fonts are only the implementation of typefaces on computers. The specific weights and sizes of glyphs that comprise a font apply both to traditional typesetting and in its digital form. A font file is m
