Well, texting while driving is a leading cause of road accidents..
Re:Instacart has raised another $200M at a $4.2B valuation on Monday February 12, 2018 @02:46PM (#16361416)
Similar experience here. Walmart is also terrible at this. Amazon Fresh/Prime Now is reliable 90% of the time. But I've had them cancel deliveries just 1 hour before scheduled time once. Would never trust any of these services for any important items. Not to mention the ridiculous markup on some items.

Meh, they make you sign up with email to see full results.
Re:Atlassian acquires Trello for $425M on Monday January 09, 2017 @01:14PM (#13358361)
This is depressing. Trello is a beloved software for a lot of people. It's sad that Trello decided to sell off to Atlassian. I can't believe the same company that makes Jira is going to run Trello. SourceTree is the only software that they make that doesn't suck.
Re:Wal-Mart Proves Open Source Is Big Business on Wednesday July 27, 2016 @01:31PM (#12174803)
> "The poster child for open source is Linux, a software operating system that holds roughly 25-30% of the server market share"

That doesn't sound right? I'd assume it is way higher.

Re:Netflix Is Now Available Around the World on Wednesday January 06, 2016 @02:30PM (#10852972)
Netflix will have a positive effect in countries like India. Their entry will help force ISPs to upgrade their infrastructure and increase average speeds. The benefits will hopefully trickle down to all internet users!

Re:Tsunami alert as Chile hit by powerful earthquake on Wednesday September 16, 2015 @08:37PM (#10230896)
Signed up, and even an hour later haven't got the confirmation link by email. Not very reassuring for an 'Earthquake Notification Service'.
Re:Jeff Bezos Responds to the Amazon NYT Article on Monday August 17, 2015 @03:05AM (#10071651)
Amazon's attrition rate is among the highest in the industry. So, despite how he makes it sounds in the memo, the news should not have been of much surprise to him.

In a nutshell, he fails to acknowledge that there is a problem, and passes the risk of reporting to employees.

The more readable and accessible data is, the more "future-proof" it will be. Unless you have a specific requirement for performance, it is never a good idea to sacrifice accessibility. JSON has won the developer community primarily because it is simple, readable and easy to implement.
Please leave a comment on the app store. That is the only way these companies will learn to not snoop on their users:

When you install it, it takes data from your address book. That's how it gathers data.
