This truly has me excited to set up a dev environment on Windows 10. Thanks for the post.

I think part of the expectation that results be instant is just that things have gotten faster: I can stream any movie I want instantly -- why do I need to wait to see who won the vote? It's complicated and complicated things take time.

I feel like someone first decides on a destination and then decides on where to stay. I don't think a sizable portion of travelers prioritize staying in an apartment or private home over visiting Paris.

This seems insane. Why not digitally deliver any e-book in a plain text instead of this pr stunt?

In parts of the world other than the US they use '.' instead of ',' to punctuate numbers. The poster above meant "$666,000".

This seems like such a narrow viewpoint. Consider a business problem -- like a misconfiguration of an Amazon S3 bucket -- that is needlessly costing a company an extra $30k per month. Say you don't have the expertise on your team and hire an expert for 1 hour @ $20,000/hour to fix it. It would be well worth it to stop the bleeding.

Or allowing people who are equally as qualified get in? My understanding is the issue is capacity and not quality.

A lot of websites (news sites especially) detect in-browser ad blockers and urge users to whitelist the site before continuing to read the article.
This is a good workaround for that use case.
