"but it does a lot of the same things and often lies about it"
Can you provide evidence of this? Not that I don't believe you (nor do I have any financial interest in Apple), but I'm not a fan of seeing baseless accusations on HN.

Site looks really good. Showed it to my team, I think we'll be experimenting with it this week. I've only tested practice mode so far, but is there a way to increase the blinds after X minutes? Like a Sit-N-Go / tournament mode?
Re:Google engineer writing Amazon reviews on USB-C cables that don't work

Interesting, me too (4 months) - the charge will cut in and out randomly, although looking at the cable it seems to be in perfect condition still. Makes playing music through my car's USB port a challenge, as it's rare to be able to play more than two songs in a row without a disruption. Disappointing.

Yes, but in a world of about 7.2 billion people, there are only 55 basketball players capable of making 10 million+ a year [1] (I'm assuming there is no foreign league paying a player more than 10M USD per year, someone feel free to check me on this). If you were one of the top 55 "best" programmers or writers in the world, I have a feeling you could figure out how to make 10M/year.

I did a test one year where for a full 365 days, I completely removed all sodas from my diet and changed nothing else, kept my regular doses of exercise the same. Only drank water or tea/lemonade at meals. Easiest 15 pounds I ever lost
