How is it dishonest? It's a fee for the service that one receives. You pay one amount for groceries and another for the service of those groceries being delivered. That's exactly what a service fee should be. Consumers should unde

The positive spin would be that it reduces friction involved in ordering and delivery payment. The original change didn't offer the ability to change the service fee. Under that model they offer one less decision point for their custom

I think this argument takes a relatively small set of companies a generalizes their exploits across the larger economy. Isn't it the case that most service companies in the west do not exploit it's labor? The people involved in cu

Thus far legal has been one my most significant cost (incorporation + NY qualification). Perhaps I'm doing it wrong -_-. What do your numbers there look like?

The delta between the ability to identify that something is poorly designed (taste) and the ability to create a well designed version of a system is immense. The problem isn't that people with taste aren't in positions capable of

I get it and I think for failover it doesn't make sense to use this feature. If you want one feature of load balancing, sure, roll that yourself. What happens as you want each additional feature, incrementally getting closer to rolling

For failure recovery on a single compute that'll work but doesn't that story get more complex as you add more compute VMs? You know, the actual… ah… balancing of load?

> Load balancer is not a magic bullet. It only expands the compute. Your DB, static pages, storage are all bottlenecks. I think we can make the generous assumption that you've profiled and decided that compute is the problem and not

Um… production environments? Early on you probably don't need it for the load but for handling recovery if an application server goes down. Prior to now if you wanted to run a passable production environment for a small application you

My mistake. I was suppose to read your comment, a comment on an article with multiple paragraphs dedicated to the health and safety of Tesla workers, as if it were not a response to claims about the health and safety of Tesla's workers

My reasons are outlined in the last four sentences of my comment.

For arguments _against_ Tesla, you'll have to go looking elsewhere. If you read my comment again, you might note that I didn't make those arguments and in fact said that they fell flat for me. I also mentioned that there are great

I often feel that the hate directed toward Tesla and it's fanbase is unwarranted. Arguments about how they aren't that amazing, how their fans are over the top and how they took government subsidies just fell flat for me. They all

Hapi's primary author and only maintainer left Walmart labs, took Hapi with him, severed ties to Walmart and has publicly proclaimed his dislike of the new CTO of Walmart. His own words: https://twitter.com/eranhammer&#

I was hearing similar stories until the current CTO took over. From that I've heard some fairly negative takes.

You are correct. I thought that Conf was an acquisition of a very basic wiki product that Atlassian built into a enterprise content collaboration suite but I was remembering incorrectly. The story was that Confluence's main development

This has been the case for >5 years. Nothing at the enterprise tier is half as good as JIRA (some prefer "least awful") and nothing that's built for small teams gets close to the features needed by large teams.

Cognitive dissonance, it abounds. Trello, amazing because of it's small size and limited, elegant feature set. Atlassian, awful because they won't implement everything that their customers ask for. Oh and the only feature that you

Some people are so strange with things like this[1]. It's as if anything that a major company would dare put their name near must be super polished and very serious. It's fun to ship. I clicked the same link as you. I saw the same

I didn't take that implication away from the author's overall post or the specific sentence that you're referencing. I find it odd that anyone would. For someone to write enough words to be so specific as to remove all ambigu
