I'd argue that doing marketing is part of improving the platform too.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
My lab scale shows me grams to the thousandth (the accuracy is only to the hundredths). Would you have it show me 7000mg instead? What about 17000mg? I think it’s much better to pick a unit that makes the most sense for the bulk of your readings and abuse it instead of changing units on me. Imagine if it went from 999mg to 1g, now imagine it trying to settle between them. Or you are weighing a dozen items that are al…
I think you just gave a compelling case for why there should be multiple units. It's much simpler to just write a small number and a whatever unit identifier, than have to read large or unwieldy numbers. I just cooked a recipe where it asked me for 100 grams of a paste, 90 grams of a liquid, 70 grams of a powder, 30 grams of a spice, 15 grams of another liquid. Do people in other countries have measuring spoons in gr…
Gosh I've really enjoyed using the Shop Pay checkout experience on an increasingly large number of ecommerce sites this past few months. It didn't really click until recently that this was all Shopify backed! Makes me think it might not be too late to figure out a sensible valuation for NYSE:SHOP and invest.
Wait until you try it. As someone who is on merchant side related to Shopify, SHOP is greatly overvalued
As everyone who ever worked in geo-based databases, I wasn't suprised at the dots at "Null Island" at 0°N 0°E. But funny nevertheless.
Perhaps this is off topic, but it's always strange to see writing thousands of kilometers. If we're gonna use the meric system let's commit to it: either write megameters or millions of meters. It's a very cool visualization in any case.
I think for large monetary units, newspapers and reporters should always use millions. Ask a guy off the street, what's larger, $500 million or $2 billion? I bet most get it wrong. That infrastructure bill that just passed? 1.2 million millions. How rich is Jeff Bezos? 200 thousand millions. The total US national debt? 29 million millions. Say it that way and it actually sounds like a large number.
towels down 35%? are people dirtier since lockdown? xD on serious note, pretty cool visualization!
