My current swiss army knife is Rails+Vue for web/api, plus React Native for mobile if necessary. Of course, I'd use something different if the project necessitated anything in particular.

AFAIK one of the causes in Seattle (can't speak to SF) is a lack of police resources - the population boom left them kind of far behind. Seattle has ~20 officers per 10k residents. To compare, Atlanta has ~30, NYC has ~40.

See my other reply in the thread, but basically, they were doing a lot of stuff that at first seemed like proactive customer service initially, but later seemed much more like scouting to determine if i was going to give them 5 stars or not

They were very pushy about asking "are you going to give me 5 stars?" before/during the stay, and saying things like "my business depends on 5 star ratings". Obviously there are lots of paths out of that situation t

Particularly since Airbnb is a two way system. I once stayed in a place where I was basically being told to give them 5 stars or else they'd give me 1 star for being a difficult guest.

Sounds like they did the switch to avoid getting caught running an illegal or otherwise somehow contract-breaching Airbnb. If they used their correct address, their building would figure it out and shut them down.

> why are they selling the car in the UK in the first place? Pure uninformed speculation, but it seems to me like its about sales pipeline and leveraging momentum. It doesn't make sense for them to fully pump the US dry before then

I did in fact try, and was rejected either immediately or after a few weeks of reviewing my request. IIRC one provider did let me in, but it didn't have the functionality I needed.

Agreed. I had a side project I wanted to work on a few months back, and had to icebox the idea because the current flight related APIs are not great, and access is geared towards larger, established companies.

I feel like there's also something to be said about old media and their revenue models. Commercial breaks are written in to most shows, and show length matters. With newer media, it doesn't matter if you have a 22 minute episode

XML Data Islands were also an early version of XHR that MS introduced in the late 90s. It allowed you to load XML sort of like an image, and then hook into the loading events .

25g net carbs, which is a concept specific to the diet. You subtract the carbs that have no body impact, like undigestable fiber. So for example, 1 cup of broccoli has 6g carbs, and 3g fiber. Net carbs would be 3g. > Even with all bei

I don't have a ton of consistency here. Things that are most consistent for me right now: - I'm a pretty big fan of riced cauliflower blends, which you can get in basically any frozen foods section. Great replacement for rice.

I lift weights 3x/wk as well as a few other activities, and have been since long before I started the diet. I just didn't care at all about what I was eating all that much.

I think many people are, but it's not something that can be put first in your decision making process unless you are already successful. If you're financially unstable, paying down student debt, etc., it becomes much harder to jus

There are a lot more EV companies cropping up now. So, a bigger paycheck might be a major draw for many. Probably compounded by other issues as well, but still. If you're a new EV startup and you know you can't buy out Elon, wh

A lot of good answers already, but to add a slightly different perspective: I'll always add a money back guarantee to any SaaS product where it makes sense. I believe it helps conversions, but I don't have data to back that up. W
