What's the point of your comment? If you can do the same thing without JavaScript or with, the implementation that doesn't use JavaScript is categorically preferable.
Apparently for all the economic-related punditry, HN still doesn't understand economics. Jim, you do realize that "inflated" (relative term of course, since Uber is more expensive than taxis in some markets) is still part of the supply-demand curve, no? You absolutely have both. Go read a textbook before you chime in next time, k?
Well, there is a big difference, but not the one you've managed to come up with. Vagrant is normally used to run full VMs (although you can use it to drive Docker), so while you might run App, Supporting App, PHP, Apache, Node, Nginx, MySQL, Mongodb, and Redis all as separate containers, you'd probably put them all on the same VM. Your comment almost makes it sound like you don't understand Vagrant or VMs.
That's incorrect. In your original comment you referred to "a positive net result", which the utilitarian will always prefer by definition. Perhaps you are confusing utility with efficiency?
