Trader Joe's limited SKU model. They are also 4x more profitable than a standard supermarket per square foot of store space.
It's time for HN to build in blocking capability. It's a small percentage of people and it's often the same people repeatedly showing up making the same points but that's enough to discourage reading and participation.

This might be so but I thought it refers to an ancient QA joke: > A QA engineer walks into a bar. Orders a beer. Orders O beers. Orders 99999999999 beers. Orders a lizard. Orders -1 beers. Orders a ueicksjdhd. > First…
That's the nice part about having your own country -- no more systemic discrimination or prohibition on owning land, or joining professional guilds, or having some king being upset about his debts and organizing a small…
In the age of AI, interchangeable content farms that earn pennies by filling 80% of the screen with ads are dead. In fact, the user hostility of those "blogs" is what pushes people even further towards AI interfaces…
Yes, the antisemites are rejoicing all over the world. Let's not confuse negativity and hatred with genuine popularity.

You can't rely on UDP experience.
Did the flow ask them explicitly for scopes? If not, then they should know there are no restrictions. It also seems, from the post, that customers were "long asking for scoped tokens" so who and why assumed that this…

The housing market is a textbook example of the opposite of a free market. In most markets, anything that does not "improve the character of the neighbourhood" is impossible to build by design.
NotJustBikes doesn't have a particularly great reputation among transit enthusiasts. A lot of his videos have become repetitive and focused on complaints rather than specific ways of making things better.…
That is true for all algorithmic iterative learning. I'm sure early models from Tesla, Waymo, Zoox, etc. were also driving a few hundred feet before the operators had to take over at first as well.
Some projects, where the constraints are hard (immovable deadlines, inflexible scope, etc.) can still benefit from detailed estimation as far as possible. This way any problems or misalignments have a chance to come out…

Excellent troll post. I've had a good chuckle.
iPhones and MacBooks can be serviced to replace the battery. My iPhones typically get a fresh battery around the 3-year mark, or whenever the battery health dips below 80%, and do a second tour of duty with someone in…
