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 Amazon also delegates a lot of the pain you're talking

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.

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 varying field into a local v9.4 database on windows usi

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 has improved, it may even have become worse. But

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 passed since 1995 (in the blink of an eye) and it still hasn&#x2

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 those skills on youtube. There is one channel I've

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 British Isles should in their entirety be coloured pin

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 common though not among farmers. I have a suspicion tha

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 rate, a "hard" limit of two child per woman wo

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 of its language, as VB .Net is not backward compatible wit

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 Chinese purely so that they can be designated as Italian clot

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!

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 Barry's because they care about the bees.

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 subsidising the big boys.

It makes sense that an inn can be very old. Even if they were to destroy a town, soldiers would still need somewhere to drink. In an era of blanket bombing etc this might no longer be the case. I'm sure some pretty ancient businesses w

If it's not too personal, is your wife of German extraction too?

If anything what 23andme etc have demonstrated is overall how faithful women have been because the surprises are very much in the minority. i think we can agree that Danish sperm export has played little or no role in the growth of Dutch pe
