I don't think an analogy about hammers is a particularly strong way to make a case for or against software frameworks. There are many situations where a framework makes a lot of sense and lots of situations where they don't. Some simple heuristics like ' you don't want to use a framework when your project has the following properties... ' would explain the case better and also help create discourse rather than black and white opinionating.
Pretty much, I'm simply trying to understand what the fundamental value of the currency is. The reason i'm using illegal goods is that they are the only ones i can find whose exchange must be in bitcoing (yes there are some other smaller goods but nothing on that scale).
Absolutely. But I think there is a disconnect raganwald points out between the owners / managers who had the idea of going to groupon and the staff who feel it's effects.
I'll certainly watch the IPO though I won't be participating. My understanding is that they think they have a competitive advantage coming from the Groupon voice https://docs.google.com/View?id=dmv9rbh_2g92x4scj&pli=1&... - the way the write their ads.
That's very true, though if you only go to places you know and trust then Groupon isn't doing it's job for the restaurant! They're simply giving a discount to loyal customers.
That's a good point to consider - it must be hard for a waitress / waiter to swallow that their evening will take a pay cut because their boss has decided to get into social advertising.
There was no fine print - the deal was as quoted. But you're right if we hadn't mentioned it, the night would have been more pleasant. At least till the end..
It's good to hear you'll go back to the nice restaurant. For some reason I can't get over the mindset that if I return I'm no longer getting the discount so it's way too expensive.
