My understanding is that orders get picked by drivers somewhat based on tip amount.

Or when the tip is requested before any service has been rendered. Delivery apps are the worst at this - I had a bad enough experience on one delivery that I reached out to support to reduce the tip. But realistically I'd rather it jus

Absolutely. It would also be possible for them to create a local API that home assistant can call over the local network. The real problem is that the company just doesn't care.

It's not just about maximizing revenue, it's also about getting it into developer hands early (homelabs, side projects, college students, etc) so they can become familiar with it, and become an advocate for it within their company

Agreed - 1gbps is a surprising amount of bandwidth, you could easily host a fairly popular mobile app, saas, etc with plenty of breathing room. And in a lot of cases, you can just move your static file hosting behind Cloudflare, or onto som

Even if you created that corporation yourself? And if so, who should we hand over the power to? If we tax assets, it will be given to the government, which historically hasn't been all that great at allocating capital.

If you buy a cheap ($20) software defined radio, you can listen to the TPMS sensors in cars, and use this for tracking.

Strongly agree. That said, is this actually going to change how Redfin operates? They used to rebate part of the agent fee in certain markets, but at least in my market, they no longer do. Now they're the same price as everyone else wh

I took it the same way. I work at a 100% remote company with folks across the US and Europe. We don't have an office anywhere, but if we did, this would be a compelling way to take a short trip + meet some coworkers.

I'm curious how much overlap there is in these salary range requirements between states. I believe California, Colorado, and New York require them, but I wonder if they are actually all consistent in terms of what needs to be included,
