Physical wedding invitations are still tradition such that people may get offended if they do not get one in the mail.

Anyone so offended by the lack of a physical invitation that they don't come to my wedding is someone I wouldn't want at my wedding anyway. Two birds, one stone

Does this post add any value or just pointlessly assert your disgust in a passive way? Because from my perspective it seems like it's the latter

Seemed like just a joke to me.

nice dating pipeline. Although, I'm interested of designs for later stages - around kids. Any suggestions?

Sure. https://airwnb.io/ will connect you to independent contractors happy to share their wombs and breasts with your preferred IVF candidates. Later, there's https://aupa.ir/ and https://babysitt.tr/ . EDIT: Inspired by http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/magazine/30Surrogate-t.htm... . You really can have it all!

None of those links work...

For the whole pipeline, you should also connect: Tinder + your calendar app + Opentable to automate the dating process. The output of that can be the input of this.

Going out to eat, food, for the first date is a bad thing to do. It's more efficient and your date will appreciate it if it's drinks. (Second date go out to eat)

In my opinion, this makes the whole process very impersonal. I invited people to my wedding because I care about them and wanted them to share that day with me. Although it was a lot of effort, I was happy to make save the dates, invitations, and hand write thank you notes to every singe one of them. If you're not willing to do that, then you're inviting too many people in my opinion.

I felt very similarly for my first 3 weddings. But I finally let go and automated my 4th, and I think everyone appreciated it.

There was a short story / satire article posted about this in the past. The author automated dating with open table APIs, tinder and facial recognition, uber for ride home, etc.

Does anyone remember this / have a link? My Google fu is failing.
