    Most pharmacies are having financial issues basically due to being stuck in the middle of the battle between insurers, drug manufacturers, and PBMs over reimbursement rates, and ha…

    I had a similar thought - it seems like most of the concerns could be addressed by adding better request tracing and improving the resiliency of the existing system. I wonder if th…

    AFAIK in the current setup, only the UI is Apple's; any time you message customer service or open a dispute, that is handled directly by Goldman employees, and decisions to raise/l…

    AFAIK, "email HTML" isn't standardized either; most organizations that make nice-looking HTML emails have to do a ton of testing across different clients and come up with workaroun…

    My personal favorite UX-failure-of-the-moment in Teams: If I open the teams tab > Browse, it shows a big list of company-wide channels that I could join. There's a search box, but …

    I used to have a problem very similar to this, where the "working hours" Teams showed on my profile were in the wrong time zone. It turned out the solution was to go deep into some…

    In the US, most rentals (except for very cheap ones) include a fridge/washer/dryer/dishwasher, but if you're buying the property, typically only the dishwasher is included unless y…

    Reducing this to age is overly simplistic. When Linux was younger and simpler, it may've been easier to fork, but today it's a massive system with huge inertia behind it. Even if y…

    I think it may be linked to the Bing integration. If I ask about my location in a new conversation, I don't get back anything. But if I start with your example query, and then foll…

    I'm having a bit of a hard time imagining what kind of payment Google could make under this structure. Do you have something in mind? I agree that if Google was paying a browser fo…

    This has already been discussed extensively in prior threads, but the biggest question is, how does a spun-off Chrome get funded? Chrome/Firefox/Safari all cost hundreds of million…

    Yes it is, see page 12 of [1]: > As set forth in Section IV, the PFJ prohibits Google from offering Apple anything of value for any form of default, placement, or preinstallation d…

    That’s not stupid though. It might seem obvious, but then you have things like sun butter, which are specifically designed to imitate peanut butter while not having peanuts. Sure, …

    They do support payment in some cities (mine included), and it works pretty well. A bunch of the larger / better-funded systems are also moving to just accepting credit cards direc…

    All of the domains are pointing to the same hosted services run by Firebase, meaning only Firebase themselves has the private key, so the customers whose domains use the certificat…

    Not to diminish OP’s project, but the stated goal of “know when each transit line has an upcoming train/tram/bus” is probably already achieved by https://transitapp.com/ - the defa…

    If you’re editing Openstreetmap, using data from Street View is prohibited by the license, even if you pay for it I believe. However, Microsoft has licensed Bing Streetside for thi…

    In theory, this could encourage people with larger houses than they need (eg empty nesters) to downsize, which could have an observable impact on shortages. Obviously more supply i…

    Is this based on particular evidence, or just a feeling? I lived in Birmingham for a while (admittedly not in the downtown), and this was not my experience at all, nor have I ever …

    There are already companies that make nice-looking, higher-end kitchen appliances though - Breville comes to mind, there are probably others. Speaking from personal experience, I h…
