It's silly to keep posting every O'Reilly eBook sale to HN. This is basically just free advertising for them. The 50% discount is nothing special: If you sign up for a membership you get a permanent buy-one-get-one-free discount that O'Reilly interprets as a 50% discount on each book. So just sign up for a membership, wait until you have two books you want to buy, and get a 50% discount without having to wait for a sale.
- diab0lic 13y agoIf I'm not mistaken, and I may well be, you can actually use that code on a single book and it'll work just fine as a 50% off as well. So basically you can get 50% off at any given time, the sales are completely a marketing technique.
