That's a fair point I didn't think about the car maintenance too much.

I'm not familiar with US salaries I guess it greatly depends on the state/city you're in. But in the UK I don't think this amount is uncommon for some doctors or software developers, especially outside of London.

Considering a 40 hour work week, $21 hour comes out to about $3350 before tax monthly, is that really too low for driving around a car?

I looked at the chart you provided, and calculated the difference between 12-2pm and 4-6pm usage, which seems to be only 13%. Is this really such a huge hurdle in itself? I'm curious, not trying to be dismissive.

I moved to the UK more than five years ago and cannot get enough of this algorithmic postcode system here. It narrows down almost to the house on some occasions, while postcodes in my home country are basically "within 100 miles".

Hey, thanks for the comment. I appreciate the response and likewise, glad that we can have a civilised discussion on here, even though I started it out a bit on the rough side. I agree with you on the fact that there's a huge amount of

Yes, if this happens, this is good, from a monetary point of view. If the end goal is that the multi-billion dollar corporation who forces everyone out from the market makes as much money as possible, then this is great, for them at least.

I appreciate the devil's advocate. To be frank, I just made up the 5% figure, it's based on my observations looking at Uber Eats, Deliveroo, and similar apps. Though the theme seems to be the same, a lot of times you'll see t

It's nice that you've made this high effort post to dispute all the "haters" but I'm still confused as to how I can order food for a 5% markup, while some driver gets paid for 45+ minutes of his time, gas and car ma

HN is probably the only place I regularly visit on the internet where a large portion of the regular user base will passionately defend these kind of practices. It makes sense, a lot of people here have vested interest in these kind of corp

I work in central London and feel the same way. Coworkers are often surprised that when I moved to London, I chose to go quite a bit north and have to take the tube for 45 minutes to get to work. But I live on a one way street with no traff

Indeed, reloading the page seems to work for me. Seems like an intentional dark pattern to force people to register and download the app.

I agree with the worker in the video, they should be treated as human beings. One of the issues is doing a simple, monotonous task every 8 seconds, 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, without creating anything of value, is going to be dehumanizi

I don't see why not, making a simple HTTP server is fun and interactive, doesn't take much time and you can learn a lot if you don't know much about the language yet. Seeing that function signature, I can imagine why a lot of

The whole html template is one long string literal. I prefer JSX, where the XML is treated as code rather than a long string that needs to be parsed.
