I always assumed it was due to the franchise model. Any solution they came up with had to be fair to the franchisees, and in alignment with their franchise agreements.

This is why you see so many satanic cult/ritual references I. Conspiracy theories. It helps explain evil for the sake of evil.

That works great today, but it stifles innovation. If I roll out a new real-time service my users suffer shitty delayed service, until I get big enough to force them to prioritize me.

Yep, I oversaw the implementation of the stripe connect api into our product. You guys have been great to work with.

Agreed, test environments exist for a reason, if you don’t trust your test environment to accurately replicate prod then you need to clean that up.

I read a few other posts on the authors blog and I think overthinking is a common issue for them. The strangest one was they flew in for an interview the night before, got settled in at 11pm and decided not to sleep because they had to chec

For these sorts of problems I love to break out a comparison of Netflix vs Blockbuster. Blockbuster was incapable of competing with Netflix because of competing internal and external pressure. Blockbuster at its heart was a franchise, and

Turns out that the average consumer of $40k+ EVs doesn’t give a shit about minor cosmetic issues if the rest of the car is years ahead of the competition. Maybe there is a lesson in there about always questioning priorities to ensure they

What everyone suggests isn’t something the apps opt in or out of. It happens at a lower level and everything is told that you are running at a different resolution.

Being from Ohio I knew quite a few farmers, or people that grew up on farms. They all laugh at organic and say it’s bullshit. There is typically no way to tell after the fact if something is or isn’t organic. Same with rBGH free dairy pr

Trip Advisor has been fairly hit and miss for me. The star ratings especially for hotels have a weird value judgement in them that isn't at all congruent with mine. I'll see run down crappy hotels with 5 stars while much much nic

I think this was a good post up until you called HN corrupt. If you finished your post with the word shills your post would be more effective. And if you dropped the shills part Too it would likely be even more effective.

I know my wife would not opt for an artificial womb. We are expecting next month and had some difficulties conceiving. We talked about potentially doing a surrogate, an option that she shot down unless it was the very last resort. She wan

It’s my understanding that radioactive decay is a quantum random. Radioactive decay emits particles that can interfere with dna and cause cancer. So some number of people would have/not have cancer in these many worlds. Not all these

Actually that’s a great point. Depending on your company and your role in the company I’m sure there are ways to get around that, but that would require your company to play ball and get creative with you.

Automatic verification of funds, of employment, of income. Plus you can have plaid automatically setup a stripe account in stripe connect, you’d be shocked at how many people screw up their bank account information when filling out a form.

I was taxed at the time of my grant, and then again on the gain when I sell. Had I put them in a self directed IRA i could have bypassed 6 figures of cap gains tax.

That’s been my opinion on a lot of these, they edit the headline and make it less helpful.

7 years ago I moved from a place with a microcenter to a place with frys. I was really excited since I heard so many great things, I was instantly disappointed. It just doesn’t compare.

I wish they completely disabled service workers. I don’t want some dumb news site running code in the background because I visited the site once.

I’m so so glad they took all that risk on so that I can get $6 while they get 80 million. Poor lawyers, so charitable of them. And who gave them the right to profit massively off the violation of my privacy. I should be able to sue them.

My experience is the opposite, basically every home I go to has an Alexa or a google home. It’s not doing too much typically managing lights/smart switches, and playing music.

I’ve found that writing starless services makes my life significantly easier. Also I may need to query several apis to render a single page. Each one needs to know who is calling it.
