I assume Amazon can nuke this experiment and future clones simply by requiring a modest payment, even a dollar or the price for a single copy for listing, right?

Have they differentiated between commuters who drive and commuters who have public transit? I wonder how much of this is due to the length of the commute as opposed to specific common experience (driving? traffic?) during the commute.

Most sales are OEM, not retail upgrades. Doubt OEM prices have changed dramatically.

Politics has always been about arousing emotions with rhetoric, whether the medium is a speech, a newspaper column, a TV interview, a blog or a tweet. Social media simply democratizes the means of engagement, which lessens the impact of an

I haven't observed any correlation between being nervous and underperforming in answering technical questions. How do people get through math exams in college? If anything, I'd expect answers to non-technical questions to be far more infl

No, the expectation is that you'll use a loop or recursion. If you use an existing method/function, the interviewer will kindly ask you to implement that yourself. The general reason why such a question is asked is because interviewers don

Because anyone who can't do this almost certainly doesn't have the ability to program any software system well, some shitty web app or otherwise. You're not trying to fill out a remedial CS course in community college, you're trying to get

It takes someone who doesn't speak English ten seconds to look up the past tense of the verb "bring" - this doesn't mean you'd want to hire as a journalist someone who seems to think the answer is "bringed" Doing a string reverse is so triv

You've changed my example considerably. /orders/groupByCustomer and /orders/groupByDate have the exact same data. The only difference here is representation. I would expect that API changes from version 1 to version 2 to often have even m

Right, I didn't mean to introduce query strings as a third option (to me it's part of the URL), but if you think it's okay to have two different URLs for orders by date and orders by customer name, which can be merely differences in represe

Why is the end user putting in the URI for a web service? I'm confused. If the client knows what versions of the web service it can work with, the client can also know the correct URIs for different versions.

I don't get this diluting the URI concept. Different versions are often going to have more differences than simply representation. They may provide additional features and have slightly different semantics. It's not the same resource. An

But how is this better in practice? Why is it important that the URI stay the same? I don't see why coding the version information in the header is better than coding it in the URI. The latter seems much easier to manage in practice.

I don't hate the idea or anything but I don't see what problem this solves in practice?
