For example, when proofreading writing, it's easier to catch mistakes when reading the document aloud and jotting down the needed edits on a printed copy of the document vs just reading it on the computer.
Or when doing something like data base schemas, drawing out a rough version of what you need so you have something basic to reference vs just a mental model.
It's a interesting technical investigation that not only goes over the technology required to recreate the gold filter, but it's a nice explanation of how some imaging stuff works? And if the hack is interesting and well-written up enough, why not? This is Hacker News
Please make your good points without name-calling ("insane") and swipes ("reading comprehension"), regardless of how wrong another commenter is or you feel they are. That way the good point won't be outweighed by further damaging the thread.
The flipside of this is, in a hypothetical world where Amazon / Google is trust busted, this problem is delayed somewhat because only Google / Amazon have the necessary scale to create the IT apocalypse. I mean there is Salesforce and Heroku but the major IT automation stuff is from the FAANGs really.
Also 3% is astronomical for Euro zone. Here you typically have 0.01-0.1% on saving accounts (only for 100k Euro and below), and negative rate on checking accounts (most people usually pay 7-12 Euro per month for checking accounts and 20-40 Euro per year for Visa card).
It's not a fair comparison. Interest rates have bounced back (to some extent) and interchange fees are quite a bit higher in the US.
I haven't checked everywhere in the eurozone but a lot of major banks have online brands/products that are typically free. You should be able to have at least a checking account and a debit card without paying any fees. "Neobanks" are also a lot more developed than in the US: see N26, Revolut, Ferratum, ...
Savings accounts yield nothing, but that has nothing to do with retail banks :) That said, you can find fixed-term deposits between 1 and 2%: https://www.raisin.com/
Chaos Monkeys by Antonio García Martínez is a good read. Good reminder that tech is not all sunshine and roses and that a lot of cloak and dagger goes behind the scenes in the valley.
Reminds me of this https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/3/12325104/airbnb-aesthetic-... article on how airbnb has changed the aesthetics of certain places. I feel like fears of algorithmic based fashion is overgrown but articles like this and that one show that something did happen that resulted in taste in certain places converging onto a similar style.
I appreciate the fact that Jerry Low's article is not quite as vicious as the title makes it out to be. A bit clickbaity the title, but the actual article makes a good point to separate the design portions of front-end dev from the wiring up the servers and databases portions of it.
