As a YC founder, I can say that this post is absolutely correct. Also, any intern that can put together all the peices the way the author has done, won't be an intern for long. She/he'll be full-time or a founder in no time.

I think some of the aggregation of query counts here would be helpful. I'm also a django debug tool bar user. I typically scan the SQL and can visually identify the repeats. My wish there would be aggregating the counts, sum'ing t

If we all avoided every airline that had bad service, we wouldn't fly ever again. Airline customer service might be improved if they rotated their customer service people more often. I would imagine it's draining to only hear comp

Good points all the way around. Do you think SQL's obtuseness comes from it's ability to do more than (perhaps) it should? Maybe it really only should be used for simple queries with simple where clauses. But because it can be use

All of the examination of costs in the comments assume a zero cost of enforcement. Free courts, free police, free jailing or fine enforcement of any violators. Without that free enforcement, these $5-$50 items would not be worth fighting ov

+1 for mâche. If anyone is trying to get more greens in their diet but need some sort of alternative to lettuce and spinach, give it a try. Tough to find, but worth it. Nutty flavor, not at all bitter like arugula.

It may possibly be that search today is used to find a particular thing that you are looking for (directions, a way to fix code, a specific book). Whereas in the future, search will lead you to new things that you didn't specifically k
