I'm going to trust Glenn Greenwald's knowledge of journalistic ethics over yours.

if I have a store with 500 products, will it pre-render the HTML (photos, etc.) for all 500 products and serve it as a static request?

You can set it up to retrieve all 500 products and render the html on the server.

What if my store has multicurrency / multilingual versions of all these 500 pages - will it pre-render all of these combinations?

The server is making all the requests that would have been made on the frontend. So if the server knew the locale of the user it could presumably load the correct currency and language.

There is a model that has shown to have a service people want and are willing to pay for, the market will find the right price with a different company

If the right price is more than outright owning a car I don't see how. Today I don't drive because I can uber. If ubers end up costing me more than $300 a month I'll just get a car.

From the article unschooling apparently eschews textbooks.

Learning of (keyword of) concepts and ideas is fun but the reason schools exist is because most learning is a grind. Learning to draw well, learning a language, learning an instrument, and even learning math and logic require going through the grind of learning and repetition.

The grind is only harder if you don't have a good book or teacher because the practice you do could potentially be actively harmful (or useless).

Exploring is fun for children and adults. Being exposed to new things is always interesting. The grind is the hard part.

When you say self-taught do you mean even without using a really good text? Or do you mean that it actually can't be taught without a teacher? If you are saying that math can't be taught without a good teacher I don't really see how that is "known".

They'd have to write extra code compared to what they have now to do this

How would they have to write extra code to support this? They already support 3rd party apps. Your analogies are bad.

Apple choose not to spend their time, money, and energy on supporting third-party app stores.

Apple doesn't need to support third party app stores. Apple actively hinders them.

They don't let you modify the software on the device.

How is a Mcdonalds restaurant (which McDonalds owns) in any way equivalent to my iPhone (which I supposedly own).

Try applying some reading comprehension and reading the response again within the context of the overall discussion.

State your point clearly please.

Approximately 200,000 people will die. All of us will know someone that got sick. Most of us will know someone that died. I think Americans will get over it.

Profits do not need to go up for the value of a business to go up.

You are wrong. While the majority can create the rules the people that matter aren't the majority but creators and skilled professionals. When someone creates something they have absolute power over it until they reveal it to the world. They can even choose to destroy what they create rather than reveal it.

When the majority (consumers) decide they want everything for free and that they want absolute power over the creations of others creators will simply stop revealing what they create and stop making their creations available for purchase. Instead creating things for private use.

I think it's because they read that the majority of cases are "mild" symptoms not understanding that mild symptoms includes being bed ridden for 10 days and contracting pneumonia.

I'm reading Strang's linear algebra book and he teaches it in terms of combining columns and rows which I think is a lot clearer than explaining it in terms of linear equations.
