   Yet here you are posting on a public message board under (I'm assuming) your account :)

   You're 1.) implying that Amazon isn't actively trying to fix it (otherwise they would be "walking the walk") and 2.) that it's a widespread issue (all I've heard about counterfeit products are from a few HNers)

   Easy small wins are better than no wins. The goal should be improvement not perfection.

   Honestly wondering what benefit for business chat that Slack has over IRC for software devs?

   Lenovo has the best laptops? Is spyware a good thing now?

   I don't even own a car in Seattle. It's clearly not a necessity as I, my fiancé, and several of our friends are all careless and do just fine. If anything its drivers that do stupid stuff like block bus lanes, don't know how

   Where did it say they were transferring funding from Alpha House to ThNF?

   Ironically enough I was never asked about DFS during my interview but needed it for the first thing I worked on after getting hired.

   I'm not saying you're wrong but do you have anything other than anecdotal data?

    You sound like someone that either works at Microsoft or has a large financial interest in them.

    I'd be very very interested in hearing why you invested everything into Tesla. Was your decision based on cold rational logic? Or was it simply "from the gut"?

    This is why you keep the military well off comparatively. Give them a nice incentive and the majority won't turn

    I think you might be missing the assumptions here. No service I've ever seen is 100% available. If you assume that things can (and will!) fail then you need to design for failure. Load shedding helps mitigate failures of insufficient c

    Easy. Politicians love campaign contribution bribes and ISPs see that bribe cost as minimal compared to the amount of money they stand to make. No citizens required, needed, or wanted to make this easy, easy decision.

    That subreddit seems like the mods are employees. They literally have SpaceX job listings on the sidebar! Perhaps it's got good discussion but I'd be willing to bet it's probably heavily censored too.

    I'd consider myself average at best and got job offers to two of those companies. I still work at one of them and have been promoted (so I can't be that terribly bad). Honestly, reading cracking the coding interview and the algori

    Willful infringement? I assume you have proof that Amazon knew something was counterfeit and still sold it?

    Starting with a beefy ARM chip! Try Arduino. If you are not familiar with micro controllers you might as well stick to something that is made for beginners. Plus as you get more advanced you can always use the raw AVR chip without the added

    I don't think it's a straw man at all. Some people are wonderful at manipulation and organization on the internet. Certain places on 4chan are wonderful when it comes to organizing people. The causes they take up are mostly morall

    8%? You either live very close to (or under) the poverty line or are fabulously wealthy. I'm assuming that you're rich since you mentioned tax shelters. TurboTax put my effective tax rate this year at 26%.

    I just use my credit card as a debit card. In the US, consumers have better financial protections against fraudulent charges with credit cards than debit cards.

    It's a mechanism for providing certain memory guarantees. It really has little to do with reflection.

    My entire life I have had access to only one ISP. I want very clear competition before give up on net neutrality. That's not going to happen though :-/

    Perhaps "your average Googler" with X years of experience would be a better description. That seems to make sense. It's a like 25% more than I make at AMZN (in cheaper Seattle) with almost 4 years of experience.

    I must be the only person to think it's weird that intelligence leaks are never from China or Russia. It's probably just a coincidence.
