So?

This happens quite a bit even now. Many corporate Microsoft technology developers have a myopic view of the software world. This is on a downward trend, but still exists.

I understand what you are trying to say, but the movie ticket prices had sky rocketed beyond reach of a large section of the population. Now, you may argue that it is somehow the loss of the multiplexes by alienating people, but movies are somewhat of a necessity for cultural and social reasons.

Imagine having a consortium of telecom companies deciding to charge $100/Gb of data (assuming they are making profit nevertheless). There is no incentive for them to reduce the price.

To give you an example, a movie ticket would cost upto $20 in an economy where a bottle of water costs ~$0.2.

Is there a technical reason why it generates text with lot of spelling mistakes?

Ayn Rand seems very sloppy with her spelling!

This isn't really a tricky question who understands how JS works. If a person has not experienced this situation of a function call (closures) within a loop, I'd suspect he has not much practical experience.

It's much more difficult to understand this theoretically than when encounter this while you code.

Having used loopback version 2, moving to version 3 was relatively easy. I don't think it will be the same from 3 to 4.

Introducing MVC architecture is good - I'm yet to go through the code, but I'm guessing this will be inline with how Laravel is built.

But, why TypeScript? This seems like a strange decision to me.

Perhaps decoupling the <$.#> as (# x 0.01) would solve the problem right?

Not sure if that's what they do, but it isn't very complex.

Curious - Does CA have such a reputation?

Ideally, a man in his position should not leave his statements to such a wide range of interpretations.

I liked the disclaimer on your github readme. :)

It would seem odd if the marketing checklist had "Create product", wouldn't it? :)

True! Also like one commenter said on the original article, if I have to share a file with 3 users, I will have to upload it 3 times and also there's the case of failed downloads.

Not sure if this is viable.
