Check out the android app "Regularly", it does exactly what you want. It is the simplest, most well designed app I have encountered... and it is free.

And make sure the back button works?

Read the Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin. It speaks specifically to this, and basically says if you are motivated by external forces, that's how you're wired and you should capit…

The parent didn't say how they found the new place... by name, or by searching for pizza [cityname]. You are right if it is the former.

Food for thought (no pun intended) The value that GH added here was that they were higher up than any of the restaurant's competitors, too. So, absent of GH, that pizza sale, inste…

>I tried a new place recently, only to find out I had been duped by Grub-hub So you found a new restaurant, the restaurant found a new customer, and grub-hub is cut out of the (fut…

Silly. Why stop there? I want to know how much of my chicken dinner was labor, the chicken itself, and the spices. The delivery companies aren't cheating anybody. It's not like the…

I agree.. it's the message that there is another 'point of failure' that no one has paid much attention to. If you want Amazon/AWS to change it's ways, then you need to get the att…

I think it would have been more effective if he just 'called in sick' (if that was possible for him) or staged an extended walkout of engineers. I have all my infrastructure on AWS…

Yes, he called bullshit on it.. on his incorrect interpretation of the saying. The saying is more along the lines of "An idea without action is worthless" His rephrasing of it was …

I think the author's assumption is that the subscriber would use the service for twelve months whether they were on monthly or annual. So, if that's the case, you're better off tak…

My concern with #4 would be with this: "You don’t have to fight back against chargebacks, they do that for you;" No way would I delegate this customer satisfaction issue to another…

LinkedIn never said the data was 'public' in the sense that you are using it. You are assuming that just because it can be accessed for free, by anyone with an internet connection,…

I have no love for linkedin, but not sure of your position. They collected the data, host it, etc, and incur costs for doing so. Just because they allow the public to access it, do…

Is it really anti-scientific? Plus, as they say, "if it works, it ain't stupid"

1d here I heard that aws actually scrambled availability zones... so your 1a might be my 1c, etc.. Haven't confirmed it, but the comments seem to bear that out.

yes

I think opponents of being kind tend to think: 1- you can't be kind without appearing weak and 2- being blunt and being kind are two different things

He's clearly on a mission to be 'known'... he spends an awful lot of time and effort worrying about how his posts rank and perform... to me, that's disingenuous. >Could you fix thi…
