For logging into slack, they just email me a link, then I click on it to sign in. This is very convenient as I don’t have to remember another password. Why don’t more websites/apps do this? Is it due to some security issue I’m not aware of?

Hi HN, there is an option to get symmetric gigabit fiber internet (same download and upload speeds) at the new building I'm moving to. I'm debating whether I actually need that kind of speed (versus, say, 250 Mbps). What interesting things do you / would you do with really fast internet?

When I browse HN, I usually pick out a few articles I want to read from the front page, then email the links to myself to read later.

This method works out pretty well for me. I’m wondering if people have other strategies that work better?

Are there are online classes one can take to become a professional data engineer? That is, become good at data modelling, data cleaning, building pipelines, monitor data quality, etc?
