While this is changing rapidly to tablets, many Grubhub/Seamless restaurants receive delivery orders through fax.

Apparently over the last few weeks they've been sending out contracts to the developers of apps they're integrating with to obtain written permission to use their URL schemes. Google and Uber could've just said no or not resp

I'm not going write a long explanation about this, but "borrowing money" and "playing with the time window" is the foundation of so many different kinds of businesses I can't list them all.

Your model is too simplistic here. The actual cash leaving Amazon's bank account may not be due to their supplier until 30 or 60 days after delivery. If it takes Amazon 6 days to sell that $100 worth of goods, they can effectively sell

And why are the net profits 1.7%? What are the major drivers of cost, and how might Amazon be positioned to combat those? Also, Amazon running a business at 1.7% net profit for the sake of keeping existing customers happy and potentially ac

So in the OP's example, the cost is $87,000 per petabyte-year of storage? EDIT: I see mentioned in another post this a per-replica cost. So it would be roughly $87,000 times the number of replicas, ignoring the initial queries that ins

Drinking only water for only 24 hours or even 36 hours is not that difficult if you have decent self-control and no medical problems. Personally, I stop being hungry after about 18 hours and it only returns after about 36, which is as far a

It was hard to parse because I didn't actually write what I meant! Sorry. I meant these tech companies have reasons to support net neutrality besides good will.

If Facebook makes deals with cell phone carriers to have their traffic be free to the end user, it may incentivize SnapChat users to switch to Instagram for a comparable experience minus the data charges. Luckily, most of the largest techno

What would you have them buy instead? Why would a building (on which they pay property taxes) be any worse than any other investment?

Technology creates massive consumer surplus. I'm not sure if you don't know what that means, but it means exactly the opposite of what you said. For example: Apple sells an iPhone for about $750. This phone contains the equivale

@antisthenes: I did not say technology has made housing, education, or healthcare cheaper. Please read what I said again.

I fully agree that there are multiple forces at work here and globalization and technology are not a universal benefit to the western poor and middle-income. I just wanted to expose something commonly left out of these discussions, which is

That's not what I'm getting at. I'm referring to technology specifically. Cost of living is dictated predominantly by the cost of housing, healthcare, education, and food. Food cost as a % of income has decreased significantl

Technology provides massive amounts of consumer surplus and deflation. What if we need less money and lower wages are actually fine? Edit: Do the people down-voting this actually think technology doesn't provide consumer surplus and de

It doesn't necessarily have to be about size. The goal is to let the browser paint the above-the-fold content without any external round-trips. Using the least possible seams sensible, especially if you do it on every page. This lets c

What do you think about the use of technologies like Kafka which enable what is effectively an event sourced architecture without all of the buzzwords? Not everyone uses it that way, obviously, but there is plenty of discussion about it.

Are you talking about the process of assigning tasks for people to complete, having visibility into what is currently being worked on, or having visibility into what was done recently? Or some combination of the three? I'm guessing y

Not the person who originally replied to you, but the HR class I took in college broke down the correlation of interview performance to job performance into a few finer-grained buckets than just structured and unstructured. Sorry, no source

http://redis.io/commands/script-load While I agree that the caller should be ready for a script not existing, one could build an automated tool to load scripts when starting redis using the SCRIPT LOAD command.

It appears you've implemented the push-based model for reacting to events. How would I read all of the events back from the event store in order of how they happened if I wanted to use a pull-based model for reacting to events?

It depends on your goals. If you're doing relatively basic things, a hybrid app can feel indistinguishable from a native app on iOS. Android is tough because the hardware varies so much. Displaying text fields, scrolling tables, images

Uber Pool in Manhattan during commuter hours (and potentially other hours?) gives you a location to walk to. They also do not drop you off precisely at your destination. Roughly +/- 2 blocks. Edit: Incidentally, this is the reason Lyft

Uber Pool gives a route in-app that is displayed to each rider. Drivers don't deviate from this because other passengers will be added along the way and their path needs to be relatively predictable I would imagine. I don't know h
