Considering how long you've been here, it's really disappointing that you could bring yourself to write something like this on HN.

This is actually better. Because it means that the authors have had their failures (hopefully?) and are telling a practical story. It's subtractive but it works, re. Ten Commandments, via Negativa style.
It's actually much worse to tell somebody who'll probably be halfway across reading your book to jump x metres when the wind speed is just under y mph to achieve some z business effect.
Point is your context may not be somebody else's context, so it's much better to harp on universal principles which you violated in business than to show us a sequence of events which leave out the role of timing, chance and other unknown unknowns.
We've just started to fully appreciate the possibilities of the Blockchain particularly. I was reading some academic paper on analyzing and querying blockchain transactions and I found it absolutely outstanding. I'm also keen on seeing what large commercial projects are built on the Ethereum platform.
That aside, there's a cost threshold beyond which it wouldn't makes sense to offer cloud services at such ridiculous prices. If anything, I actually think compute prices might increase in future as demand for cloud services become globally outrageous, from Alaska to Zagreb.
Some historical syntax ancestry aside, state-of-the-art C# is too classy and elegant to be in the same sentence with Java.
Let every entity play its role. For private enterprise, their selfish pursuit of profits under a regulatory atmosphere actually helps society improve on so many levels as a net effect.
That said, issues like this cannot be rigorously analyzed while ignoring the different contexts, changes in costs/benefits and the different periods in the historical development of the country. Thinking these background issues have remained constant will invariably lead to fallacies.
Finally, we may need to think about these matters differently; it's 2017, there are many ways of being innovative without restricting it to your national boundaries or geography. One could easily be accused of tunneling if she thinks that all American exploits of science and technology must happen within the boundaries of United States in this century to qualify as an improvement of American society.
The stage is bigger and the system has become orders of magnitude more complex.

You're missing the point. I think this is part of what defines their existence and probably their success; experiment with many different products/services (and do it quickly too), doesn't matter if you have 1 killer product for every 10,000 experiments.
All the best at Stripe!
Some people tend to believe that a return to the old ways of no invasion of the zeros and ones of the Internet would make their lives better by some significant margin. They see some less digitalized folk and wish they could have that life because they also believe the lives of these folks are much simpler, more triangular, etc.
Nassim Taleb and a few others have advocated a disconnect from news. This makes sense from a knowledge building POV as some folks actually only know stuff about the world through mainstream media, which I believe is particularly unhealthy and misleading.
Disconnecting from the entire Internet however is a different matter. My point is that such a recoiling into a zero Internet shell doesn't necessarily confer any superior analytical abilities on anybody. It may help your sanity/peace of mind/mental health (depending on what your obsessions are)/etc.
And to your point about actual evaluation being separate from the information processing pipeline, I also disagree. More often than not you still need the various resources available on the Internet to aid in the evaluation of the data/information you have collected.
There's such a thing as a responsible/profitable use of the Internet and the gains are probably much higher than whatever any sound minded individual would gain from a disconnection.
Your disconnection from it may help you rediscover your own consciousness and do things the old-fashioned way but it doesn't confer any superiority or higher levels of intelligence or higher information evaluation abilities on you.
At different points in your social and economic development, different modules of the scam program are working to deceive you and emphasize unimportant details rather than big picture perspectives.
