I've grown to accept it. However, sometimes I wish we had something to replace braces like some IDE coloring schemes to clearly represent indentation levels. In larger programs it gets difficult to tell apart levels sometimes.

So because people are too lazy to go to a different website we must destroy the company of a very skilled businessman who's services millions of people use and enjoy? Amazon is #1 because they are the best, not because they are evil. G

Global markets have at least .5 correlation with each other. Doesn't matter which country or money you buy investments in. If you want to avoid market risk then just stick to short term bonds(arguably the safest investment).

If this is true, why don't countries with universal healthcare have a proportionally larger/more active startup scene than the US? They don't, so that means, logically, healthcare isn't that important to a country's

Why did they go out of business? Probably because they offered worse prices and worse service. By taking less money from his customers, Bezos makes his customers richer than if they shopped somewhere else. The few business owners who are af

I don't find it clear at all. 20 times what? All I get out of that is that whatever reduction is happening is probably big because I'm not context blind, but then again it could be a 20 x .000001% reduction. When saying X is 20 ti

The best I have found is "Duplicati" which runs in the background of your computer and can backup to all internet backends(I use it with ondrive and box), a NAS, or a USB stick/attached drive(pretty much anything). It is open
