We will queue for anything. However we won’t generally complain openly if someone jumps the line... just mutter under our breath.

I guess you should ask yourself is business success worth the risk of your relationship failing?

Indeed, this should not be portrayed as a competitive rate really, it's just the price of super convenience.

It's good there are different options, but this would be very unpalatable for me. The "anonymity" of these big spaces leads to very anti social behaviour in my experience. Luckily in 10 years in London I never shared with more than 1 other person and now own my flat.

Climbing, running, playing guitar, reading, hanging out.

In the US can you not order food for delivery directly from supermarket, same for restaurants?
I would have thought in the UK Tesco, Sainsburys etc do as well as any delivery only services (Ocado, Amazon Fresh etc).
I would have guessed direct restaurant orders are as large as justeat/uber eats style services. They would certainly deserve a place on the pie chart...
I also dont believe the average US consumer spends $105/month on meal kits...

If it doesn't, hit Escape, close this window, restart your computer, and flee to Mexico.

Dating isnt simply a matching problem... maybe these people don't want to connect with a real person?

The conclusion is classic Telegraph- where conservative values trump research or real life. A lot of their content is written to keep their readers happy- "I know my kids".

Ha yes we all just avoid eye contact with each other! More seriously though, I actually find I interact with a less diverse range of people here than when I lived in more provincial towns, because you can always find very specific groups of people (ie developer events, climbers, guitarists who are into blues etc) rather than settling for more generic groups.

I'm genuinely interested to hear you say that, why do you cringe? Because it doesn't affect you and you don't perceive there to be a problem?
This is clearly a technology story, and I'm interested to hear more from anyone at Twitter how their release process works in this regard. I saw Kent Beck talk at facebook a while back and he spoke about how when working on a site like FB, you literally do have peoples lives in your hands. Releasing that software is a very hard problem. The example he gave was if they accidentally allowed public access to someones private mail- it could literally lead to deaths.

Nice way of putting it. In some sense Twitter is only really exposing how crazy people in the world actually are. Being able to ignore/block/report offensive tweets is part of their responsibility, but more generally getting people to act in a civil manner to each other is probably not really.

I could imagine a designer at twitter not being aware of why this feature is so important and removing it, but not why they don't make a public response of some kind.
Does anyone know anything about the change control for the UI features at twitter?

I guess, but it's more typical to do something like cap the total trading volume, position, risk limits etc. It's a more fundamental check on what you are doing.

Yes- latency is a big issue for this type of trading system.
