I don't know what the real price of a book is right now. Living in New Zealand, where book prices seem to range from the absurd to the absolutely fucking absurd, I feel that the NZ book buying community are already living in the world you describe. NZD50 isn't unusual for some trashy novel. Price already seems determined by whim. There are so few bookshops in NZ (everyone's too busy watching rugby to care about that literary shit) that it's actually embarrassing to walk into a bookshop and ask for a title that you can't find on the shelf, let alone falling over when they tell you how much it's going to set you back.
Really fucking tragic.
All of a sudden these huge companies that own all our data are vowing to fight this, divulge that, release this, resist that. Shame they weren't willing to do all that ethical shit before the middle of last week when they were all caught with their pants down.
Don't be silly. The beans are indeed pooped out by the civet but they can't be digested, hence they're not shit, per se. They're separated from the shit. And hopefully washed too...
At least it won't just be their own paranoia that's casting a shadow over their lives.
And I bet these blimps will in no way have any cameras pointed downwards. No-sireeee-bob!
It's not just about writing better code. You also need to ensure that you have enough time to do a proper job. Sounds to me like you could do with sorting out your estimation process. If you're running out of time to do a decent job, give yourself more time, or de-scope the delivery. When you get code & test estimates, are you taking into account the fact that your code sucks, so you need to add more time for the rework that is bound to occur?
A product manager who will never de-scope functionality or move the date for the sake of quality has no pride in his work, and I'd strongly advise against working in a company where such people rule the roost.

Bullshit. Some of us have no choice.

They knew you were going to say that.

Logic states nothing of the sort. If they don't wash, so be it. Still tastes good, no matter how unsettling you find the concept.
Kudos to you for writing such a long post in response to an AC that was clearly just trying (and succeeding) to be a twat ;)

So angry! You should cut your coffee consumption.
You clearly can't tell good coffee from bad coffee. My pet civet could teach you a few things.
What, pray tell, does Starbucks have to do with good coffee?
Truncate your search by looking in the mirror.
Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hopefully better spelling will be a natural consequence of said recolution.
I read as far as "Bennett Haselton writes" and just skipped the rest.
If I have to use ads to view a service, that service can fuck right off.
They hate your freedom.
Thanks. I assume it's for crown green bowls, or something similar?

Google self-parodied when they released their video of the obscure French-named band-loving, ukulele-playing hipster asshole.
He's ex-NASA. Maybe he is bitter and twisted.

Just beat them twice.
Had I not squandered all the mod points I had yesterday, I would donate them to your cause.
The only hack around here is the OP.
I'm sure there are some people who are interested.
