A related comment to mention the perceived good performance of the website and how the web would be much better if such simple and performant designs were more prevalent. A second paragraph vaguely taking aim at every common framework and l

Not correcting, just clarifying for myself. I sure wish I had such a controlled environment with only 15% of time in coordination and where standup actually was 15 mins and not a segue into the everything meeting .

I'm not so sure, their 'original' wheel was just a refinement to the round boulders that already existed on the planet and the mechanical advantages naturally existing in that form.

Would a guarantee of a different kind of prison environment change your mind? For example, prison conditions in the Netherlands versus the US? If you were allowed 6+ hours of positive, structured activities a day? Less than if you weren&#x2

Is that based on not investing that $21 million or am I misreading something about how that money was or wasn't used?

by sunrunner 8mo ago
I guess I’m still similarly unaware, because nothing about palming people money on the way out like a magician or doing the restroom trick feels classy over everyone just being super upfront about the bill and tips.

Even if it is in the T&Cs, this one feels like it wouldn’t actually hold up? Expecting people to read those for most simple sign ups is already a high baseline, and Starbucks is not technically a banks and offers no consumer protections

I mean I’d love to have a free $21M a year, but if you’re already Starbucks then somehow it feels like pocket change compared to your actual earnings and would question if it was worth the effort.

I think I decoded that as: "I love/like how accessible it makes that wording/writing like this!" (Assuming m2s was meant as “makes” — did I get it right?)

I never actually thought to try such an obvious and definitely-not-ridiculous approach, and I can (happily?) confirm it works, so thanks for that. Apple are certainly leaning into Think Different with this.
