Does the DDG bot actually do a lot of crawling? I've never seen anyone talk about it except that it exists, while for Bingbot, Googlebot and random chinese bots in the webdev forums I go to people complain all the time about excessive

I'm surprised they didn't mention it at all on the page. It's definitely mentioned on other pages about how to get your ads to show up on DDG.

Amazon I think is sandbagging the estimates. We got a gift card during the holidays and decided to spend it, and we're non-prime and put in 2 orders. Both shipping estimates were 1 month out and then suddenly delivered 2 days after the

Most large US university have large medical centers attached to them, so at my school our staffing numbers were 1/3 for the university (teaching + admin) and 2/3 medical center. These are not small hospitals.

It will probably be hard for a non-profit to do all of that (especially ethically like paying fair wages) considering Uber, Grubhub and Doordash are all losing money while charging 30%+ for the current services.

by sct202 6y ago
Probably because Grubhub was marginally profitable until 2018/2019, until both UberEats and Doordash started to barge in throwing fresh VC money. Grubhub never made a lot of money though, so it's a little unclear how much like end

Walmart used to be in all these kinds of headlines if you look back across the last 10 years; shutting down sites that try to unionize, supplier pressure and mistreatment. Hilary Clinton got a lot of flack for being on their board during he

It's a little bit different because Amazon claims to be a marketplace at the same time as curating its own specific product offering. It would be kind of like if a mall required all transactions from independent stores in the mall to g

Store brand flour though is only $0.40 / lb (5 lb bag @ $2) so this really only makes sense of you can't obtain flour another way. Once you add in labor of splitting it up and billing everyone it seems like too much effort. Fwiw,
