   So many recommendations for this book but I really didn't like it, very theoretical. It lists a lot of the main data related software systems and how they work, but that seemed about it. I really expected comparisons and tradeoffs, eg

   This is a South African newspaper right? Sometimes I wonder if HN headlines are just suggestions for discussion for bored or easily distracted tech workers.

   I have to add its almost like this for other stuff. Its harder to showroom stuff and buy online now you need to order and return to try out. It isn't just clothes: laptops, furniture, nearly everything is likely to end up like this.

   Agreed, I think Zappo encouraged it too. It isn't abuse its a feature. I personally never send anything back, if I dont like it I just make do and complain.

   bash is not fit for any moderately complex task. I dont understand its popularity. Normally sane people who like unit testing, CICD, SOLID principles, quality tools end up with a bunch of crappy scripts holding everything together. Please a

   I have friends who send back nearly everything. Not sure about shoe size? Order 3 sizes, keep the one you like and send back the other two (or return all 3 if you dont like it). Want a shirt? Order 5 and keep the ones you like, if any.

    Yeah maybe its where the chronic conditions comes in. A normal healthy person can pay their way for regular stuff that comes along. You need the insurance for car accidents, cancer etc. Its the people with Chronic diseases that really need

    Actually FB pays a lot of tax, last year $6B on $24B profits. Amazon never makes money so doesn't pay tax. Google is good at not paying.

    health insurance is my big wish. 20 hrs/wk with health insurance I'd work for 1/3rd my salary. EDIT: I have a family like most people. EDIT2: I'm thinking about how insurance isn't as expensive as giving up more tha

    I think about this a lot, esp with wars. In the old days it seemed easy to get everyone to sign up and attack some other country where now people are more likely to know someone from other countries/races/religions and get to see

    The best thing I read was Australian regulator capped cc interchange fees at 0.5% and allowed merchants to charge as an extra fee over the price. I guess it'll never happen in the US but maybe Europe? https://en.wikipedia.or

    Intel is fighting more than just AMD though. Apple ARM chips in MacBooks, Graviton processors in AWS, ARM Chromebooks and gaming computers/consoles just going pure Nvidia/Radeon - not a lot of room for Intel.

    I dont mind that, what drives me nuts is the people who say "hi", then wait for you to say "hi", then they start typing the message they wanted to send, taking 5 minutes to write a short essay, while you're sitting

    A few years ago when bitcoin was going up in value so much Coinbase was one of the best places to be, now I dont see much upside for the company, I imagine a bunch of people there are happy to leave.

    I'm wondering how many non-gamers actually buy desktops. Either they use laptops or their company chooses one. I'm a non-gamer who likes desktops but am happy with my old PC and am thinking of getting a laptop for next box.
