Suprised? Had you put him on a pedastle in your mind? Did you think him to be more than a sniveling greedy capitalist prick? I’m sorry for this very harsh fall from artificial grace if so. I’d be careful about holding anyone with more than a few hundred million dollars to lose in too high esteem in the future.
Yeah, these billionaires really need our sympathy. Things are pretty rough for this guy. Kinda makes me want to start a go-fund-me to help drum up some support for the poor chap.
Nah, actually he can fall into a sink hole tomorrow and slowly asphixiate while I eat my generic cheerios with slightly expired milk dripping down my grinning chin.
Don’t really want to go to YouTube either, but thank you.
The solution did not exist at all. There was a huge market gap. Lots of restaurants didn’t have the population density or resources to support a built in delivery service. I had two restaurants that delivered to my location prior to ride share delivery. It instantly jumped to dozens as soon as door dash came to town.
I don’t share any moral delima with the concept of third party delivery. Conceptually what’s different than the branded delivery drivers? Both by the way rely more on tips than anything else for payout to the delivery person, but at least the base pay rate for the branded driver is typically a tiny bit higher. I am bothered by the ratio of what I pay extra for third party services as compared to what the delivery person receives. You can’t possibly just drive the price up further to fill the gap, the gap is massive and the prices are already a limiting factor for most to utilize these services. I also relate to the cold tossed meal. There is no effort in training these gig workers or supplying them with proper equipment to deliver the food. It often arrives in a terrible state and there is very little in the way of quality control. If I were a restaurant I would hesitate to let these people represent my food. Conceptually I actually rather like the idea of third party delivery. I don’t want to be a domino’s employee and deliver pizza, but give me some freedom to pick my hours and a fare wage that doesn’t rely on tip culture, and I’ll stop by and deliver a domino’s pizza every once and awhile for some extra cash. The real world execution though is currently a mess. These companies took advantage of how badly Americans want food delivery and how hard it is for most restaurants to implement it themselves.
DR. Skipper looks like it was designed by me in 4th grade. That looks like the kerning on every poster project I ever made.
Show me a billionaire “scientist” and I’ll show you a piece of shit business person with a trail of throats with their footprints on them.
What the what? More relevant than ever. How is this a legitimate question? I2p is great but adoption is extremely low.
But if you keep working and invest that money, you might one day be able to pay for treatment for one of the stress-induced medical conditions you’ve acquired!
I guess you don’t. I gave the reasons that I do
Had this thought looking for an outlet timer recently. There doesn’t seem to be anything in between a displayless smart plug and these ridiculous tiny display, crazy button interface things that require referencing a manual every time you want to change something. Smart outlets are great, but when you are standing right in front of something or you want other people to be able to easily program something and have a quick visual reference of something like a timer on time, a user friendly interface would really be nice.
‘slavery’ in quotes really seems to soften the blow. Like the time I ‘punched’ my boss.
Probably true. But also millions of regular sick people going to Walgreens for blood tests used these devices and got BS results. Not just rich people were affected by this.
Interesting. If they weren’t patent trolls before, they certainly are now!
I wonder if this is all that’s stopping this technique though? IANAL, but it sure seems like a slicer could release this and if stratasys tried to sue them, they might have a hard time given all these patent errors.
Seems like one of the bad immigrants
