> In any case, _THIS_ is innovation. Actually playing with models and finding things that are better for everyone

Yup, that's a good point. The current model doesn't seem to be sustinable.

Does this also introduce a bad incentive for drivers to delivery food slowly? Or do delivery apps account for that somehow already?..

You are partially correct describing that some delivery drivers already batch their orders. But that's still a different use case. Foodsby can't scale to 15 min increments for all restaurants in the city. While some people can preplan and are OK ordering food from a specific restaurant that Foodsby works with, most people don't want that. How many people want to order food from an expensive Spanish (i.e. Spanish, not Mexican) restaurant I order from sometimes? So my options are going to be: #1 not ordering from this restaurant because it's not a common food preference and is expensive or #2 wait for 15 people to join the order for this restaurant and get food hours or days later.

It's a good business idea, it's just a different usage pattern. I order food when I am hungry. I don't preplan, don't like food from the majority of popular local places (pizza, Mexican, Chinese).

At the end of the day this is all driven by market dynamics that affect everyone. Uber Eats doesn't have a secret sauce that makes it cheaper for drivers to deliver food in cities with lower restaurant density. Someone has to pay for gas, someone has to pay for drivers' time. Even in large cities Uber Eats is now more expensive than ordering directly from restaurants in the past, why would it be different for cities with fewer restaurants?

You are describing a completely different service though. Prep-meal delivery also works, but it's addressing a different usage pattern.

In the same way you could propose to replace Uber with... buses? 15 people get on the same bus at a specific time and get dropped off within 5 miles, thus optimizing the process.

Do you know by any chance if wiim is capable of streaming music independently, without relying on a separate computer? I.e. my smart Denon speaker can stream Spotify, so if I start playing on my laptop through that speaker and then close the laptop, streaming continues. I don't have to keep my laptop running. This doesn't work for Apple Music and I am looking for a device that can stream Apple Music without an additional computer.

I see, thanks. So basically a suite of networking hardware solutions? What I found the most confusing is that they sort of differentiate UniFi from WiFi. E.g. "Instant WiFi for retail POS" - yes, like any other WiFi router? Or is this box going to connect to a global mesh that's called UniFi?..

OK, as an engineer with decades of experience, I give up. What is "Unify AP for WiFi"?

Exactly, I only understood that it's basically a WiFi router by reading this thread. I guess I am not their target buyer... still, would appreciate more clarity.

Read this several times. Still don't know what I am looking at. What is "UniFi Networking stack", what is "UniFi Network"? Is it a WiFi router? I use a TP-Link router at home, and they don't sell it as "TP-Link Networking stack".

I had success in the past hampering the process by linking to various legislations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA) and asking my PM to reach out to legal to approve the implementation. At larger companies legal is usually pretty cautious and takes a very long time to respond.

My guess is that the author chose to approach this in a softer way, without shaming the designers. He is leaning into education without assuming bad intent.

Not going to lie, this might be more effective than shaming designers.

> A username form only

This is such an annoying pattern that was adopted by almost all websites. It almost always breaks password managers (requiring 2 invocations). I guess it "helps" people who can't differentiate between "log in" and "sign up"... at the cost of annoying everyone else.
