<p>Yup. Premiums change depending on the deductible you choose[1] and your age.<p>[1]: If you have the CHF2500/year deductible, premiums are cheaper but you have to pay that amount out of picket before the insurance company reimburses your expenses</p>

<p>I agree with you that the author of this project is catching a stray bullet, but I also have to agree with GP that `curl | bash` got way too out of hand.<p>I don't know where that came from but it should definitely disappear.<p>At least the developer includes the binaries for all platforms in the GitHub release page.</p>

<p>And in the GitHub release page they include compiled binaries anyway... Why would you advertise `curl | bash` as a way to install if there's a binary available?!<p>Download it, put it wherever you like (probably `~/.local/bin/`) and you're good to use it.<p>Sometimes I truly wonder...</p>

<p>> My take would be that underwater temps cannot get below freezing<p>Yep, density of water changes with temperature—it's the only thing that has that phenomenon—and  therefore the colder water is always at the surface. That's actually what made life possible since life could survive despite a frozen surface.<p>Happy to be proven wrong, but that's what I learnt making cocktails and investigating clear ice :)</p>

<p>I got curious while reading and I've read this[1]:<p>> Revenue is total money from core business activities before expenses are deducted.<p>> Income, or net income, is earnings remaining after all expenses are deducted from revenue.<p>Sorry for being pedantic. I don't understand why English has such ambiguous terms for something that shouldn't be. Or am I even more confused now?<p>To directly answer your comment: I agree that companies should be taxed on revenue and not income. Citizens are taxed on revenue, so why aren't companies?! They're supposed to be treated as people.<p>[1]: <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/122214/what-difference-between-revenue-and-income.asp" rel="nofollow">https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/122214/what-differe...</a></p>

<p>> python is far more approachable<p>I see where you're coming from, but to be honest I respectfully disagree. If all you mean to do is writing small one-off scripts then sure Python may be the right tool[1], but when you're doing something more complicated Go is just simpler. And for an LLM, Go is even better for all the reasons mentioned in sibling comments and OP.<p>[1]: I tend to rely more on Bash, though...</p>

<p>> That's why I'm surprised about people from a richer nation saying they can't afford things<p>If you had the same salary in Switzerland or Luxembourg which, believe it or not, is not impossible, there would be a lot of items that you can't afford. Salary is important but cost of living matters as well. Granted, inside the same country, figures could change drastically but people tend to live where there are lots of job opportunities where it's more expensive.</p>
