My current favorite is in ruby with the unless keyword:
tax = 0.00
unless not_taxed(billing)
tax = billing.zipcode.blank? ? estimated_tax_from_ip(account) : billing.tax
tax = (tax.nil? ? 0.00 : tax)
end
To me, anything payments related you want to be really super clear as to what you’re doing because the consequences of getting it wrong are your income. Instead we have this abomination of a double negative, several turnaries, and no comments.
But there are alternatives to both CloudFlare and android, and CloudFlare has competitors with free tiers that I think are easier to use (I’m one data point)? The problem is people deciding to use CloudFlare or CloudFlare itself?
Used to work in garden/hardware supply company. The best selling product cost $16 for manufacturing and delivery to our warehouse from China. They would sell in [national hardware chain] for $699. It was about a 40% markup in store, the rest of that $699 was eaten up by warehousing, shipping and staffing costs. If you couldn’t move that product in a reasonable timeframe then you’d start losing money on warehouse costs.
I figure most items I’ve purchased are 40% profit, 50% warehouse/shipping/staffing, 10% manufacturing/import.
Correct, and since there are multiple instances I’m using a plural form, and fighting autocorrect at the same time.
