Same, I ordered just a few days ago! Pity, after waiting for so long, I should've just waited a few days longer and save 70€. Still, looking forward to finally having one :)

In my anecdotal experience, there have been a few outrages a month over something Google has f-ed up on HN for years now. I'm not too happy with them, either, but you also have to factor in Google's size - at a billion users, they

In this case, I'd argue it is. Twitter is anonymous in the sense that you don't need a real name for an account, but the Twitter handle and picture is clearly presented on every Tweet and the user profile is not only very visible,

According to the dictionary [0], the usage is fine. You seem to use the following definition: > 3 : lacking individuality, distinction, or recognizability Which is clearly not true for Twitter users due to their handle and public profile

50$ for a place sounds insane to me. That's 800$ just for your set of 16. My whole set of 12 set me back 80€ and it still works six years later; if it ceases to do so at some point, I'll gladly get another one. I'm not saying

Still, this depends a lot on what features you are actually using. If your use case is a few dedicated servers and maybe a https load balancer, you can have that at Hetzner for half the money. Paying the premium for any of the large clouds

Does anyone know the price of these cards? Trying this out in a home setup would be extremely awesome, but most likely prohibitively expensive.

Absolutely not. Imagine I want to buy your house for, let's say, 200k$ and sign the contract. So need to quickly find a replacement, move out, clear the legal stuff and probably miss work. Then, at the last moment, I back out. Don&#x27

And for whatever action you do, the majority will usually think you're wrong. But, on the plus side, you're also wrong when you are "providing a platform for it" (aka not doing anything). I'm always surprised at how

Examples like Digg and MySpace should sufficiently show that iterating on a perfectly fine product is not necessarily a good idea. In fact, being able to stay cool and not steer into a ditch is definitely a rare skill.

I don't see slow change as a net negative. It's not necessarily positive, either, but not trying to fix things that work perfectly well is a good mantra (looking at you, Google). Also, he was recently promoted to CEO, which would
