> Offer2 only available in the United States while supplies last.

You may try to buy it with some logistic companies/ warehouse if the discount is larger than the service charge. E.g. I am currently in Hong Kong. The service charge is USD33. If I buy the USD499 one, the discount is 124.75, still cheaper than buying in Hong Kong.

Re:Ask HN: Can someone help critique my resume? on Friday March 11, 2016 @01:06AM (#11264926)
I am not working in US and in a different industry. I am doing marketing. You may just take my opinions as reference. From the point of view of business, I suggest you can describe how you helped your employer/ company/ clients in the job description. I am not familiar with IT so I use things related to business as an example.

e.g. H&M Salesman Original: Sold clothes to customers. Suggestion: Provided professional advises to customers in order to help them to develop their personal image.

Numbers and descriptive phrases can help HR manager to remember what you have achieved.

I know how hard it is. I still cannot beat my 15 year-old PDA when playing chess with it. The intelligence of Lee is far higher than I can interpret.

Human can become tired, emotional and nervous. However, a computer/ software would not have these problems.

Especially for Lee, the whole world is looking at him. An "ordinary" human like me won't be able to make the right decisions under this pressure.

A great respect to Lee and the Developers of AlphaGo. Good Game!

After reading this, I was so glad that I was born in the 21st century! I can feel the pain by just looking at the monitor. The pain travels from thousand years ago and reaches my teeth!!
