    If oauth makes an authenticity claim, it should be true. Saying it's the same user when it's not is bad, clearly. in other words: Google could make a more accurate authenticity cla…

    > Failed startups don’t always shut down cleanly like that. Agreed, and with the number of services and the "ease" of oauth it's likely impossible to even track. You could make a l…

    I think it's more like there's more surface area to forget when you have humans handling so many concerns, and it's not likely the part that's changed the most so it's a likely can…

    It seems like that's the point of the story -- they were willing to tip well, and received bad service. If it came after, then drivers would have a reason to make sure food was del…

    obviously drivers would want to know it, but is that good for everyone involved? It would make more of an auction but should it even be an auction?

    The ligatures are really interesting, but at a glance I process them so much slower than the raw characters, especially the ones that change the graphical semantics such as <= vs ≤…

    Yeah, but what about "zoom and enhance"? :) Seriously, sure, 4K is enough for output but who says it's enough for input? As long as sensors keep getting better, the industry will k…

    All of that statistical analysis was actually a bit silly, because I've never heard the "typo" argument as a reason for email grammar validation[1]. Sounds like a straw man. It did…

    It sounds to me like the point is that the market could be much larger if the transaction value were clear to consumers. In the current app store, with the methods that consumers a…

    Where did this title come from? Not only is it not the title of the post in question, but it's quite inaccurate -- the article doesn't even come close to claiming that anything "al…
