To pay with my credit card online I just need to fill in the card details (which are often stored on the website anyway, or auto-filled by my browser). To pay with card in person, I just need to touch in my phone (at worst take out my card

So the receiver pays you for access to the service and the sender also pays you for access to the receiver? I hate everything about this double-dipping-middle-man-in-an-otherwise-free-interaction business model.

Which field are you looking at? On the topics that I've been interested in - programming, math, statistics, ML - there many really good books that are completely free.

My concern about Google isn't big enough to justify going through this.

> I was skeptical, but I encourage you to give it a try if you haven’t before. I have - I found the results far less useful than Google's, the whole experience far more frustrating and it noticeably slowed down my work.

Imagine that they aren't suing simply because they lost. Imagine that there was actual evidence for corruption, and Amazon lost a $10-billion contract because Trump put his finger on the scale. How would the whole story look different

Either company could have won the project - this isn't about their merit. It's about whether the decision was personally influenced by Trump because he hates Bezos.

Actually, only one of these companies has had its CEO personally attacked by the president.

There's enough evidence for Amazon to take legal action. Then the courts decide if it's good enough.

I was incredibly unproductive during the first half of my 20s and procrastinated to the point of setting my career back a few years. Around the time I turned 26 I was suddenly able to actually do what I said I would, get stuff done, and in

Your values, your actual values, are what you do, not what you say that you like because it sounded good on the internet.

So you did spend a few weeks learning Flutter. What if OP's question was "Which language should I spend my next few weeks on"?
