At that level of detail, it also requires the seller to give an exact weight for the goods they are selling, and update it each time it differs by even dozens of grams. It can be done, just not sure the parties involved are willing to commi

Speaking for France, a lot of supermarket who introduced self-checkouts have further invested in developing scanning apps operated by the client on their phone as a parallel solution. Basically a low-tech amazon-go solution, where the clie

So a pound is 453g. I checked my order history and my last orders are around: - 350g - 600g - 200g - 500g - 5kg - 120g a box with empty packing would fit within a pound for most of these. I don't intend to nitpick your back of the enve

For a lot of people, meaningful space is a hard concept to understand. It's made worse by the number of applications where they will see spaces reformatted willy nilly (for instance web forms eating their line breaks. From there expla

IMO backend constraints are usually less stringent than the frontend part. Mocking the front first avoids a lot of designing round trips I think. For instance if on the frontend you need to display an infinite list of items, how you get you

I think you see fear as paralysing and handicapping while I see it as a safeguard against complacency and carelessness. It's a spectrum, we could agree there can be healthy amounts. While I get you point about mental and physical break

Prescription drugs are legitimately scary though. As are cars and surgeries. I'd argue that too many people are numb to these risks. Popping a pill should be seen as scary. Driving two blocks down is making a life/death risk calcu

Startups are fine I think: in a 4~10 people company every employee is the equivalent of VP and each getting admin access to company’s DB for instance is par for the course. If you can’t trust your CTO you have other issues at hand.

On ipad the animations stopped midway on the first load, leaving me perplexed at what “TA”, “DE” would mean in the main block. I’d argue a design that is more prone to failure is bad design. The rest is all subjective, more power to them.

It is not bad by any mean. It is essential information that should not be set aside though. It’s like co-authoring a book, that’s fine, but don’t just say “I wrote a book about xxxx”, be upfront about cowriting it.
