I personally find value because it saves me time. I’ll ask chat-gpt to write something slightly more complex than boilerplate code for me based on some requirements. Because I’m an “expert” I can read/run the code and message back impr

Most meals include at least one alcoholic drink as well as soft drinks. Anything not included can be purchased a la carte and paid directly to the restaurant. A couple of dinners have been BYOB if the venue doesn't have a license and t

I'm happy to share my experience and lessons, but its a bit too much to type. If you are serious about starting one feel free to shot me an email (address in my profile). What I will say is that I think the timing was right. My co-host

I “think” I understand what you’re trying to get at. But it’s an unfortunate and limited perspective. Sure, New York isnt Thailand and the restaurant didn’t source their ingredients from a Bangkok market at 4am that morning. But that doesn’

The cost per plate is negotiated with the restaurant ahead of time. We collect all of the money at time of RSVP which includes our margin. We then pay the restaurant and keep our fee.

A friend and I host a monthly dinner club for people interested in ethnic cuisine. We work with a single restaurant each month to create an 8-12 course all inclusive price fixe menu. The food is served family style and is authentic to the r

As someone who worked for a daily deals business not long after Groupons inception, I can tell you that it’s a tough model. It trained customers to wait for deals or targeted the wrong type of customers. In some cases businesses took losse

I’d love to see a comparison of the average cost to use this with the OpenAI API versus subscribing to chat-gpt plus. Maybe I’ll have to try this for a month and see if it end up costing more than $20. Thanks for creating it!

I also thought it would be interactive and then realized it was just a screenshot. Would be cool to have an interactive demo right there at the top.

I wonder if we will see more non custodial staking being introduced to protocols. Love them or hate them, that’s one thing Cardano got right.

Depositors get deposits back because their deposits are wrapped up in SVB assets. Once those assets are liquidated they get what is theirs. This could end up being less that 100% if the assets end up being sold for less than the total depos

I’ll save the next person some googling - it is a hit song from 1981 by Tommy Tutone. https://youtu.be/tHL2XeuA6Yg Here’s a few examples of what happened to people who had that number: In 1982, WLS radio obtained the number

Thank you for adding this. I should have included this in my original comment. These fast food chains are using the meatless options as a marketing ploy for people to believe there is a healthier option. It likely is healthier than the 840

I believe the target market for this sandwich is larger than just vegan/vegetarian and should include the general health conscious crowd. I imagine there’s a number of people who don’t eat Chick-fil-A because it’s not healthy. This san

I would also recommend this book. Andy tells the raw truth about what it’s like to have a manic depression and how it manifested in destructive behavior inside and outside of work.

I live in New York and didn’t own a proper winter jacket until I was in my 30s. I always wore a warm jacket that in hindsight was more appropriate for the fall. I bought a Quartz jacket and it made being outside in the winter so much more f

It’s small in the grand scheme of things. But when I want something from Amazon that I don’t need immediately I leave it in my cart. I’ll build up my cart for a few days/weeks so that more of the items shop together.
