Perhaps the tone (sarcasm?) of your post caused some downvotes, but your point is well taken. I didn't consider that the panels are not made in Australia. They are very likely made in China. I guess that Australia has much lower tar

That is exactly my point. The OP read like a moaning Amsterdammer. I see it a lot: residents of that city complaining about the tourist crowds. I think a better idea would be a very high tourist tax -- like 100 EUR per day charged via ho

Will you say the same for Paris, London, Rome, Milan, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Beijing, Tokyo, Hongkong, Singapore, and Seoul? All of those cities (and more!) fit this template: "X is expensive and overcrowded.&quo

If you are based in the US, try to make a claim with your credit card or, if more adventurous, small claims court to sue. It seems pretty easy to win. Also, send a letter to your attorneys general office to explain what happened. &g

The C++ Standard Template Library is now 29 years old. It doesn't have a graph (or generic B-tree) data structure. That says it all for me. In my too many years of programming, I have only needed to program a graph structure once or

You can say exactly the same for global investment banks. Only when the US and EU starting fining them billions of dollars after the Global Financial Crisis (when banking regulations finally got real teeth) did their behaviour change.

This is going to be downvoted, very hard. I could not disagree more. Thank goodness there is a strong regulator in EU. In is unfortunate that US and Japan have not come to similar conclusions.

Finance? No, most of it was rewritten in the 2000s to Java or DotNet. Sure, a bunch of HNers will reply here that they work on high frequency market making systems that use C++, but they are an extreme minority in the industry at this poi

Do you have a public write-up (blog post)? If yes, you should post it on HN. It would probably generate lots of interesting conversation.

Do you think NVidia is the world leader (by a wide margin) in GPU market share because their hardware or software is so great? It seems like no one can displace CUDA at this point.
