You forgot those damn avocado toasts

I don't know if I'm missing some British humor here, that's absolutely not bit of both, that's squarely "because they're too insignificant to matter"

This reads like a success story, I'm not sure your advice hits the target.

How does it read like a success story? The bottom half of the article is all about how Shopify pulled the rug out from under them by giving them 3 days to tell their users about "breaking ToS", locking them out of their app, and ultimately seizing their account.

The 600k monthly recurrent revenue makes it look like a very successful story

Launching a product in a walled garden, getting around 10 million recurrent revenue with a small team and almost no other fees, then stopping after a few years looks to me like a dream come true. Almost better than not having the pull rugged. Once you have that much money it's time and a stress-free life that I would seek.

The article reads a bit weird to me because there's a lot of complaining about Shopify including in the title, yet they also mention that they knew this would be the outcome from the beginning.

The title has full stack very prominently. Did you expect to code the backend in css?

Last week, we had PHP on the desktop. I fully expect to see a full backend framework written in CSS by the end of August.

We already solved the CSS-as-a-backend problem. Too easy!

I daresay I saw this by the end of August, so I was technically correct.

Jokes aside, this is every bit as unsurprising and dumb as I had hoped it would be. It's perfect.

Yes, instead of npm they should have used hpm the html package manager.

Jokes aside, it's a full stack framework, you need some server-side language. It's the served html that is (optionally) javascript-free.

That's not how Tor works, you don't need to run a tor exit to use it.

If you were actually doing something nefarious and using tor for anonymity, running an exit from the same ip doesn't sound extremely smart.

You're misunderstanding the comment you're replying to. They're not saying you need an exit node to do bad stuff over Tor, they're saying that anybody with the technical ability and knowledge to run a tor exit mode would also choose to use Tor for any bad stuff, and that therefore it seems unlikely anyone who runs a tor exit node would also do bad stuff directly traceable to their own IP.

You're right, it took me a while but I see it now. The phrasing is confusing

Exactly, thank you.

He's saying nobody has found it yet

Just as a thought exercise, if you were actually defending Netflix, what would you change in your comment?

Do my words have to change for my intentions to change?

If I say “that’s so hot” I can be talking about sexual intercourse or my microwaved hot pocket.

Same words, different intent, different meaning.

Netflix being wrong and the customer being wrong are not mutually exclusive. At some point it has to be acknowledged that adults are responsible for navigating the world and paying attention.

Am I reading this right? You won't work on an immediate fix for this very severe bug, and instead they will have to wait until a complete rewrite is out?

> But with high mobility nowdays, they seldom think it is worth it anymore. You teach and then they thank you and move on.

You mean you tell them you will teach them, require them to have the skills to begin with anyways, work them like any other employee but with a fraction of the cost promising them full employment at the end, and at the end thank them and tell them to move on?

(keeping the first person tone of your post)

Yes, something like that.

On the other hand young workers usualy greatly overestimate their impact on getting things done and the work required to check their work. (I know I was like that)

Yeah... That's not wrong.

On the other hand, those kind of "fake" internships are rampant here in France, specially with smaller companies or startups. From personal experience they don't bother checking their work. And how could they, the other employees are interns too.

I used to work in France, I was employed by a French company. I do remember the contractors that were French were pretty disgruntled. But I certainly miss being over there. The work culture is so much better than in the US. The pay may be suppressed, but at least everyone gets to enjoy life. Although, at the company I worked at, the pay was not as far off from the US side as the French folks thought it was. Definitely not when you consider how much better they were treated.

Same in Poland - none of my friends who did their required internship at studies was ever actually taught anything.

It was always just "do your job, don't cause problems".

And for free. Of course. My uni literally bans us from being paid. If we do, they won't acknowledge it as internship.

"My uni literally bans us from being paid. If we do, they won't acknowledge it as internship. "

Could there be any explanation for such a rule, that is not corruption and exploitation? I cannot think of any.

I have no idea. It is what is is... :/

Cynically it feels to me like it's just a nice way for the companies nearby to get free labor.

My assumption for that is just that it's just supposed to be an internship somewhere where our focus would be to study and thus we shouldn't get any benefits from it, but I've never heard of it working that way. It was always in IT here just being an unpaid junior.

First person: I, me, us

Second person: You

That's usually called perspective, not tone.
