> In any case, _THIS_ is innovation. Actually playing with models and finding things that are better for everyone Yup, that's a good point. The current model doesn't seem to be sus…

Does this also introduce a bad incentive for drivers to delivery food slowly? Or do delivery apps account for that somehow already?..

You are partially correct describing that some delivery drivers already batch their orders. But that's still a different use case. Foodsby can't scale to 15 min increments for all …

At the end of the day this is all driven by market dynamics that affect everyone. Uber Eats doesn't have a secret sauce that makes it cheaper for drivers to deliver food in cities …

You are describing a completely different service though. Prep-meal delivery also works, but it's addressing a different usage pattern. In the same way you could propose to replace…

I guess this answers the question: "Cop28 president says there is ‘no science’ behind demands for phase-out of fossil fuels" ( https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/dec/03/b…

Do you know by any chance if wiim is capable of streaming music independently, without relying on a separate computer? I.e. my smart Denon speaker can stream Spotify, so if I start…

I see, thanks. So basically a suite of networking hardware solutions? What I found the most confusing is that they sort of differentiate UniFi from WiFi. E.g. "Instant WiFi for ret…

OK, as an engineer with decades of experience, I give up. What is "Unify AP for WiFi"?

Exactly, I only understood that it's basically a WiFi router by reading this thread. I guess I am not their target buyer... still, would appreciate more clarity.

Read this several times. Still don't know what I am looking at. What is "UniFi Networking stack", what is "UniFi Network"? Is it a WiFi router? I use a TP-Link router at home, and …

There is a distinction to be made between a parseable string and a valid URL in more complete terms. While it's nice to have a new standard function that checks whether a string is…

I had success in the past hampering the process by linking to various legislations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) and asking my PM to reach out to legal to approve the implementation. At larger…

My guess is that the author chose to approach this in a softer way, without shaming the designers. He is leaning into education without assuming bad intent. Not going to lie, this …

> A username form only This is such an annoying pattern that was adopted by almost all websites. It almost always breaks password managers (requiring 2 invocations). I guess it "he…

I read about Prime being hard to cancel several times now. It's not harder than any other membership. It feels weird defending Amazon, but just go to your Account, you will see a l…

It's really not about aggressive goals. OKRs are always tied to a single metric (in some cases secondary metrics exist, too). So if no one on the team has a strong ethical compass,…

Not in the HTML 4.01 spec ( https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html ), so probably a vendor extension (don't think I ever used these attributes).

Didn't know that! Wonder what made them choose to turn this off by default. Must be an interesting eng story.

> I don't think that's accurate. It was old Internet Explorer that wouldn't render tables progressively. You both agree and disagree with my comment :) If memory serves me right, I…

In an odd way, I miss the time when web dev was so quirky and unpredictable. It was a never-ending process of experimentation, puzzle solving, discovery, and, once you figure out a…

IIRC non-table based layouts are rendered progressively, while table-based layouts have to be loaded fully first, and only then rendered. At the point when this was relevant, the W…

I get those too. Even if the founders gave away 10-20% to investors, actually building the project under the "management" of inexperienced founders and getting 1% doesn't seem like…

How is it ironic? Not sure I follow. The article is making the case for challenging music. You pointed out that Brubeck made challenging music (i.e. 5/4) accessible to most people.…
