Amazon actually takes your money and also has competitors (high street etc). I think that partly explains some of the differences in their approach to your point (c). I think that …

Depressing, isn't it? There are so many books that I probably should read about almost any number of topics that, in my work, I "touch on".

It's so annoying, one time it even asked me if I was enjoying using it and would I like to write a review.

thanks for the information

I don't really understand this too well but I suppose the question I'd have from what I've read is who was going to get the $360 million? Cui bono?

An odd thing that happened to me yesterday with the PostgreSQL ODBC driver (psqlODBC) v9.3.400. It wouldn't let me insert a string longer than 255 characters long into a character …

Smallpox may have gone but I'm fairly sure that there was a vaccine for that a very long time ago. As regards extreme poverty, I don't know that the situation in sub-Saharan Africa…

I remember watching the Apollo 13 movie for the first time in 1995 and thinking at the time how modern they were in those far off days of 1970. Now the same length of time has pass…

I believe that it's the impact of Covid 19 that has propelled this video onto the front page of Hacker News. Tons of people are doing DIY, gardening etc because of it and learning …

The article,though not the book, is by Simon Heffer who's always a bit controversial on matters Irish. In my view he'd be one of those British who still feel that, on maps the Brit…

Coming from a farming background I spent a lot of time in close contact with grass etc. No one I know of ever came down with something like this but now it's becoming increasingly …

I was thinking globally since the discussion was about the global population.

So, my country which feels big to me couldn't do it. This reinforces my belief that there are way too many of our species on this planet. Given that 2.1 or so is the replacement ra…

The way you put it makes it sound like he was still inside.

The phenomenal quantity of bugs and inconsistencies that makes Visual Basic so delightful persuaded me to start this project It seems that Microsoft was aware of the poor quality o…

One tangential snippet that I heard but I don't know if it is true or not is that in Northern Italy, there are whole garment factories that are staffed and possibly owned by Chines…

I'd like to know too how they can confidently state that Earth's orbit does not change. Would it mean we'd spiral into the sun or out of orbit if it did?

Sadly you are probably correct. The Nordics are the perfect cousins the rest of us Europeans keep being unfavourably compared to. We have to keep digging!

Well it's certainly northerly anyway.

And what about the Faroe Islands? The people of the Orkney and Shetland Islands of Scotland are fond of claiming Scandanavian heritage too.

All Mark has to do is reduce his price a little. People will then rationalise their decision to buy Mark's honey by telling themselves that if the price was the same they'd buy Bar…

I won't have that side effect anyway

Although I found the price decreasing by 90% at each change somewhat distracting. 2TB of data costs only 10% more to store than 1TB? People with less than a terabyte are subsidisin…
