Valid points. However, I do save on shipping based on just the ease of use. Most items on amazon I can get next day for free. Sometimes it saved my bacon (forgetting a gift or some household item) and sometimes I just get what I want faster

its 100% still viable. Our household saves more on delivery fees then annual subscription price and you get access to their movies and TV shows, plus other prime stuff (early access to items, etc.) I think some will be turned off but it won

I have a question: I want to know more about your product. Since I’m the guy who would be selling this to my team and implementing it, I wanted to get a high level view of what your product does. However, when going to the site, I only got

I watched a YouTube review that paired HomePod with Spotify via airplay and you could change songs and increase volume via Siri. A lot of folks keep mentioning Apple Music but I don’t believe they understand that’s not the only option

Unfortunately, POS is not the same. I’ve worked with NCR (Aloha) POS for 5 years. Can’t speak for ATM machines. Plain text ... and before two years ago, they also had regional master passwords. As in one password for all systems sold by a p

Your comment is coming from a good place but it’s rooted in ignorance. Most ATM machines are made by NCR and not financial institutions. Majority are also quite old (runnning windows XP old). NCR is focused on profits not security, even tho

From my experience in dealing with NYU (technical side of merchant dealing with NYU student cash cards), a bunch of stuff is outsourced. I think the last reply in the twitter feed “WTF” is a bit sensationalized. Yes it’s annoying but they h

I agree. Considering that giving away a dev style laptop would be a nice reward, it’s weird that they do not leverage their products as reward. High spec MBP + some cash goes a long way. Even engrave the freaking laptop to make it “sough af

This was fascinating. When I was 15 I read Tupac's The Rose That Grew From Concrete, which helped me understand my neighborhood (I was the only white guy). Kendrick Lamar brought similar feelings in me. The toughest album to listen to
