I had a bootstrapped B2B company that was stuck in a similar situation, lot of transactional SMS. We initially used (started over a decade ago now) SMS gateways like number@txt.att.net before we had a mobile app. These worked great for a wh

To answer some of the questions posed to this comment, I really think the problem is many school districts do not have enough buses and drivers to transport their entire student body at the same time. By having secondary start first, you re

Not OP, but OP may have meant: Sometimes older siblings contribute to childcare. A 9th grader that is home at 3pm, can watch a 4th grader that is home at 4pm until parents arrive home at 5pm.

Nope. Never even heard of them or their website until this article. I'm not in any industry related to EV or gasoline vehicles.

I don't. Nor did the study answer that question. But that's my point -- consumers need to be reassured that their EV vehicles are safe plugged in within their home while they are sleeping.

This is kind of misleading. Are gasoline vehicles more fire-prone? Sure, I believe that's true if you account for all types of vehicle fires. If your car is parked in your garage, what is more fire-prone? Your turned off gasoline vehic

As a developer on a very small team for many years now for a B2B product, I've spent years now filling feature requests, adding new features, and enhancing the product. The users seem to be getting more demanding and less thankful&#x2F

No. I'm in the northern. I'm giving time ranges as examples of when it will get dark without DST. Yes, it only benefits me March -> Nov.

What about schools? What about retail business hours? What time do restaurants open and close? Does each of those change every month? It's much easier to change our clocks twice a year.

They thrived without clocks at all. They worked where they lived. They didn't start work at 9 and end at 5. We're in much different circumstances.

We absolutely need Daylight Savings Time, you can argue about Standard Time not being necessary. Without DST, in my hometown, it will get dark at 6pm every day from Sept 23rd to March 4th. That's depressing for the 9-5ers with commutes

This happened to me about an hour ago. Suddenly my machine started restarting. No notice. No ability to stop it. Anything running was forced closed. I had no idea software was updating in the background. No notice provided that anything was

Any past U.S. Presidential election? I'm sure there are a lot of old videos out there about Florida in 2000. Will youtube scrub them from history?

Claiming a journalist makes "false claims" and is "misleading" could be injurious to their reputation as a journalist. Which would hurt them in their business or profession. It's not a slam dunk for him by any means

For the first few years of my product, I was in the same situation of being the solo-developer offering phone support. There were a few huge benefits, some mentioned in the article and a few downsides. Some highlights: When talking a user t

I agree -- aside from passenger airplane manufacturing I can't imagine a more difficult industry to just jump into without really good reason. If they want to make an "Apple" car with some bells and whistles on it, why not ta

My pixel does something similar. It will answer calls and prompt them to basically identify themselves. You can see what they are saying in real time. I don't remember the last time I had a spam call make it past it. They almost always

The turning in tails of pests for a small fee, was quite common at the time around the world. When researching my g-great grandfather, the county (PA, USA) he lived in still had records of each time he turned in a fox's tail in their N

If it does turn out to be a lab leak, the simpleton answer would be to just blame China and that would be extremely dangerous. They are not alone in the world of virus studies and lab leaks. As for what difference would it make, I would hop

I'm no expert at all, but I think one of the major differences between SARS-Cov-1 and SARS-Cov-2 origin was within months animals were identified as the carrier of SARS-Cov-1, specifically in May 2003 bats and masked palm civets. To da

Not very likely to happen. Would take a lot of votes where they would be in the minority to go there way. Borders between states do change on small scales. Since the 1940's: 1950: Kansas and Missouri exchanged land along the Missouri R

For the tiny amount of revenue this product likely generates for Target, and that the relationship with the manufacturer is probably of little concern to them makes a lot of sense. Factoring in theft, safety issues, and associate time spent

Yep -- I thank those who fought that battle back in 2017-2019, as by time we got around to it, it was nothing. I bet we spent more time talking about if we should do it, when, and messaging than our support team has dealt with customers try

I work on a B2B app with a lot of local govt users. We dropped support officially for IE11 last summer and I was surprised by the little to no pushback. Our stance was if you needed to use IE11 for a legacy application, that's fine --

I find it interesting the author didn't mention field hockey. My daughter is a goalkeeper for her youth club. The goalkeepers wear very similar pads, and face shots at similar speeds with the same safety concerns. (I wouldn't want

What makes them incorrect? Because they do not match solar time? If you wanted to make them correct, you'd need to do away with time zones entirely and go back to each local area having their own time. Sunrise today in Knoxville TN was
