I searched but couldn't find the article but remember reading about housewives (in China?) who took deliveries of groceries in bulk and then distributed them to their neighbors. It's not intended to be 15 minute delivery but you

Whoa ... I can tell it's prestigious because it has three accented letters in its name!

Wow ... I'm realizing what a completely unremarkable education and career I have. I've been a CTO twice but perhaps this shows what it would take to be a deputy CEO.

When you fail to attract new customers but your shareholders continue to expect their holding's value to increase, a price increase will temporarily show gains on your balance sheet. The downside is that you've also provided addi

Sorry about that assumption ... I took the initial "We" in your question to be one of 150 organizations and extended that to the OSS API.

You have to be the market leader, then the other 149 other software providers will implement it in order to take part of your market. One (costly) thing I learned a couple times as an entrepreneur is that it's almost impossible for a s

Programmers can write nil-safe types in Go but it requires some extra effort.

Funny ... I had a bigger issue with the word "steal". If Namecheap did in fact squat on the domain he searched for, they could only register it because he hadn't - I don't for a minute think this is ethical (or even nic

Feinstein, Pelosi ... apparently I can't tell the difference (funny how my mind specifically recalled this article). Sorry about that!

I've hit several deer but only killed one animal precisely because I slow down when I see them walking. I've NOT hit dozens that have wandered into my lane so I'd say I have a pretty good track record.

In fact, the law requires those behind you to be able to brake to avoid you regardless of what you do in front of them. If the car in front of you skids to avoid a family of ducklings, you're going to be the responsible individual if

Looking at the orange base-coat in the video, I'd suggest it saves money versus hand-painted custom paint jobs but as every surface of the car (inside doors) are orange, I'd say that was applied by the traditional robot painters (

This is a great not-so-subtle look at the direction we're heading - the only thing that was missed is continuously and invisibly reloading the page so that I can't use my browser history to get back to HN.

I don't hate node, I just realized that on the server-side, by the time I added enough modules to make something work I could get better performance from a Jakarta EE application server and write far less code. Go's standard libra

I'm also a mustard lover and appreciate that the author didn't try to rank them - different mustards should be used for different occasions. I will admit that I found it a bit amusing that this article appeared on the front page o

Just a small gripe - this article shouldn't really be "How Masten Space ..." I think that story would be fascinating. This article is more of "Why" and "What" which is still worth reading.

I hope you're kidding! ... if you're buying plywood spend the extra buck or two to at least get one finished size. Furniture-grade veneered plywood really isn't that outrageously priced and for a pro-am like me, it's di

I prefer epoxy fastened wooden boats (whether on a river or not). Amateurs out there who are following these "tutorials" beware ... you can become allergic to epoxy with repeated exposure so wear your PPE.

I'm not disputing that the image may not add anything to the article but if a 10MiB GIF image can crash your browser maybe you should look at other vendors. I'm on Firefox Developer Edition with approximately 100 tabs open and di
