i was surprised when i found out quite a few people i know paid for dating apps like tinder. loneliness is horrible and people are willing to pay for a fix/solution.

zero mention of apple. also irrelevant to COVID and the protests going on, if that needed a disclaimer. not sure why you're trying to link it.

well failure to find WMDs did not stop a war in Iraq so lack of evidence is hardly an obstacle to people's self interest.

shopify has a similar thing, a two stage login where you sign in with your email then choose your account.

most of the "power mods" are likely semi-bots reposting from other subredddits anyway. i won't be surprised if they're internally created.

yes the flexibility of visual programming gets complex and hard to understand when you try to scale up and have more people involved

yes we have a major local eCommerce store that shows out of stock items in results, only to have an error page when you click on it or add to cart.

so many complains about it on their social media.

hard to say as most founders understate their credentials publicly, to make for a more satisfying rags-to-riches story

like you i never reply , but my previous boss does- and i've seen him get caught in their sales tactics.

truth is the marketing works on a percentage of people, just like any other method.

there's plenty of breakdowns out there of cheap chargers. some with shoddy soldering work, or faulty chips that does not stop overcharging, etc -and a safety hazard if you leave it plugged in overnight.

nothing new. they constantly make quality arguments in favor of their bias

was excited when i first used it, but it's like swapping a notebook for a stack of handwritten notes

great work

seeing as how most of the photos taken are meant to be consumed on the phone anyway, it's like bagging a mirror-less camera because you wanted a proper banner sized photo

one of my first ebay purchase turned out to be a fake headset. put me off them and i never bothered to look on the site again even though people said it was cheaper.

with amazon it's convenient and honestly the support (while hit and miss) is still better than the effort you get from minimum waged retail workers. i am getting annoyed at the rise in rubbish and duplicate listings though.

there's credit available, just in the form of loan sharks or third tier and above lenders with predatory practices already. very common in developing countries and hard to stamp out but demand is there.

mind you shopify is acting the same way too. i get that they have to protect themselves, but when they hold all the money and power they have little incentive to resolve things quickly.

yes when I was in London i always wondered why everyone was obsessed with putting postcodes in on Google Maps (rather than the street), till i realized how accurate it was in locating an address.

well in the UK postcodes are pretty specific to a few houses or even a single property, so using that and a name is sufficient. But in other countries the postcode only specifies the province or suburb.

well planes keep flying, the logistic chain will keep going. apart from time there's no reason not to put packages on the next flight back, no matter how small.

people always think it's easy to give food away. at household portions, yes definitely. but when you have warehouses of them it's a logistical nightmare and sadly food goes in the bin.

the whole point of being racist is not accepting other cultures and thinking yours is the "right" one. basically you're saying their culture is different that's why they don't fit. which unfortunately is true when you make a bias system.

also the same feeling when you hear an analogue record playing vs a digital recording.

i trust the govt, but would not do it. a self reporting system is better than giving up privacy rights.

maybe now the US can start reducing their trade deficit

yea not you're not willing "hacked" ventilator on yourselves then don't expect someone's grandparents to use it.
