Took me 6-7 months to get my compensation from Etihad after I was bumped off my flight for technical issues, and had to stay in transit (in a hotel albeit) for 24 hours.

on: Treating violence as a public health problem has produced great results
Not sure that's true, I haven't read about it (live in AUS). A lot of the campaigns by the opposition in the upcoming state elections are heavily focused on being "tough on crime".

on: Set-top box maker TiVo exploring options, could go private
Reading experiences like this make me quite pleased I don't watch much TV, even then, especially here in Australia, it's a pain to view the couple of shows I'm interested in (GoT, Mr Robot etc).

I can get behind it on my *nix systems, where I find it fast enough, but I find it terrible on Windows, especially when it updates and I find myself with two versions.

I see it as the following, he views breadth first as just skimming over each book, seeing the books that are related to it when sitting side by side (perhaps when in another users cart), as opposed to depth, which goes into each item, and then goes deeper picking out books from within that book.
