Or maybe it's nowhere near there yet, and they want to help solve the problem they see now.

Not for most people, no. "And again, how do credit/debit cards—which are centralized systems—satisfy the proposition of a decentralized market?" They allow the market to actually exist, by using something that the people are

For most things, most people don't care.

"How do credit/debit cards satisfy the proposition of a decentralized marketplace?" They're something that most people are actually using, allowing the marketplace to actually conduct commerce and exist.

Something that the local people are actually using.

Just about every other way of buying a ticket (either AMC A-List, Sinema, or even just buying a normal movie ticket the old fashioned way) offers a much better, and much more consistent experience.

" If I have to drive to the theatre to then get there and discover that MoviePass has decided I'm not allowed to see Movie X then I'm going to stop using it." Don't they have the app that shows you want movies you c

"Amazon is successful not because they underpay employees or evade local sales taxes" What? That's a very large part of why they're successful.

It can't be that hard to change it to use whatever payment processor the seller wants, shouldn't it?

The biggest issue with Amazon currently is counterfeit products. How is this planning on addressing that?

Then delete the comments. If we're not supposed to respond to something that terrible, don't leave it on the site.

Someone who is posting obvious flamebait does not get to complain about people not following the rules.
584.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
It is flamebait. It has absolutely nothing to do with the article at hand; it just serves to take a cheap shot at a publication the poster doesn't like.

No, this take is bad. We do not need to allow things where the outcome is purely bad in the name of "freedom".

No. The problem with that, along with many libertarian beliefs, is that people do not exist in a vacuum. Their actions can and do affect others who had nothing to do with their decision. Take the measles outbreak that happened at Disneyland

"They weren't forcing anyone to sign the contracts" This is very, very disingenuous. If the only way to have a successful product in the American and European markets is to have the Play Store, then yes, there is some level o

Perhaps, but that's not my job. I value my sanity too much to try and get them to understand those things are bunk.

It's like a Sparticus thing. "I am Pam."

by s73v3r_ 8y ago
That's what I was supposed to do? I just legally changed my name to Pam.

Then buy a different phone.

None of those words mean what you are implying it means.

Such a store would either require that the developer pay for payment processing and hosting themselves, or would have to charge in order to cover those costs.

Anticompetitive behavior in forcing OEMs to bundle other Google Apps if they wanted access to the Play Store and Play Services, which has nothing to do with the other two things you mentioned.
595.
by s73v3r_ 8y ago
That doesn't sound anticompetitive in the least. Alternative stores are allowed on Android; Google just isn't going to bend over backwards to do everything for you.

They don't. You can go buy a different phone.

A bunch of people thought they were smarter than every bank and stock exchange out there. That's how this happened.

For humanity in general? Sure. For those specific people? I don't think we know.

"Don't wait until the standup to ask for help if you don't have to." I didn't mean to imply that, but one of the purposes of stand-up is to give a place for that to happen.
