Fair point, and this is actually something I was thinking about last night. I am more likely to spend $500 on a product than I am to signup for a $10 / month subscription.

It would be nice if that were offered, but tbh I would find the volume of "affirmative renewal" messages annoying. I wonder if subscription payments could be handled at the payment provider level. Ideally when I use a payment meth

I agree. In my head I group chatbots into: 1. bot that can regurgitate the faqs 2. bot that can perform actions I've had good experiences with type 2 bots with Amazon, Uber, and Doordash, refunding orders that weren't delivered, e

This feels like the sort of thing that could be easily solved with technology. Something like: if I receive a message on slack with the message hi, how are you, hello, or something similar, wait 15 minutes to notify me about it. For all oth

My problem is that I get treated like a criminal despite being a paying customer. For example: * Purchasing a show on Google grants me a license to stream it from their servers using their clients. If they ever lose the license, I lose acce

https://www.airnow.gov is a fairly good equivalent for the US. Includes a heat map, which is a bit easier to parse as well.

Same here. I had a Samsung Android watch for years that I would use for tracking runs, and I was never very happy with it. Slow gps fix, horrible battery life (the thing died on a bike ride when I started with it fully charged), and the tou

It's shocking to me that it requires an OBD device and a surveillance app. Can't they just check your odometer when you go to update your registration?

I think fear is the main deterrent as well. I wonder if it can just be framed as "presale" - you list on this much cheaper platform, and if it doesn't sell, you can still go the normal route. Homeshake [0] is a local company

That's one of my favorite parts of reddit. Accounts are just pseudonyms, and you can generate as many as you want. I personally generate a new one every few months, which helps keep too much identifying data from building up over time.

I might be wrong, but I'd imagine a truly hungry 1 year old might manage to eat the food rather than starving.

My last in person employer was exactly described. I wore a sweatshirt in the summer, but my hands were always cold, and I looked forward to walking to lunch to warm up a bit.

I wonder if you can use 15% from each "edition" (since they're all basically the same anyways).

I'd love for this to be a standard across ALL pricing, not just tuition. Any costs that I am required to pay should be put into the base price that is advertised.

I still remember my math teacher that specifically told us to get a certain version of the textbook, and the version he specified was 1 or 2 editions old. Ended up costing me something like $20 to buy used vs $100 new.

Not typical, but umbrella insurance is the path to covering something like this. That said, I do agree with you with regards to insurance. Health, car, house, etc insurance all seem to be closer to payment plans rather than actual insurance

I think it also helps Waymo fill in the gaps between markets that they support. Customers get an app that works pretty much anywhere, and Waymo can drop into any given market with 10k self driving cars pretty much overnight.

Yeah, definitely isn't totally unheard of. A restaurant and barbershop near me are both cash only.

> 75% of America is either overweight or obese right now. Do you have a citation for that? I'm seeing numbers closer to 30% (which is still bad).
