I've seen that since being a kid. In my experience, businesses that refuse Amex are either great enough to be comfortable rejecting customers and mostly good faith, or mediocre to bad and not worth patronizing.

Thanks for sharing your facinating approach. By good eyesight do you mean 20/20? How old were you when you started using computers? Do you know of anyone else using your technique, if so what are their results?

I agree, I've naively trusted the SanDisk brand but just today I went compared and bought an SSD, didn't even look a WD or SanDisk. Their name is now tainted in my book.

I did not realize SanDisk used WD. Does anyone have an alternate storage brand to recommend?

Odd article for the front page of hn. But one thing about it resonates with me. People in corporate offices, turn off their humanity, and seem more like polite machines. Not to contradict the idea of night animals, more to say, there's

One line I can't square with mandatory returns to office is that the same orgs and agencies requiring employees in office are also waving big flags about going green and fighting climate change. Has anyone seen a justification for the
