You can blame old browsers for this. In the old days if you returned a non 200 the browser could die in all sorts of interesting ways. Heaven forbid if you try and use any verb other than GET or PUSH, it probably turns the fan off your comp

These are great 'low tech' interfaces. Now if you want a great 'advanced' interface think anything in the Cyberpunk genre, hard to beat direct brain interactions. Who needs clumsy words and floating pictures :)

They also avoid the 'who' which creates a culture of CYA and secrets.

Is it possible to make something like a jet electric? If someone knows of one I want to see a picture. Sounds like something from one of my dad's old sci-fi novels.

Anecdote: I found AWS had a hosted Elastic Search that had just been released. This knowledge enabled the team I led to solve a problem that was challenging my team with what was relatively a small amount of work. There is no amount of hea

When I was a long haired white poor kid in a relatively rich suburb they used to always hassle us for laws like this. I think my personal favorite was when they brought ten police cars to crack down on five us standing in the park on a Satu

I like "Cheap Skilled Worker Shortage" as a term. I have found there is also a shortage of "Cheap Premium Quality Steaks" here. For example my desire as a buyer would be to purchase an awesome steak for about a dollar bu

As a poor American you will run into many people that don't have a bank account. Lots of things can hurt your credit here and once your credit is wrecked it can be challenging to have even a savings account. There is an entire industry

It's a nit pick but those prices would always be a bit higher after the effort to import them and source them etc. Of course this will never happen. No politician wants to have her name tied to the bill that allowed all those dangerous

There is a main difference. Instead of sorting those results on the best fit for what I am looking for they are sorting them based upon the highest bidder. You are right that sometimes these results are similar but these days when I ask Go
