Another one? Is it common for people to find it annoying when you suggest religion is somehow a solution for things?

I wish they'd pay the taxes in the country the drinks were bought. Even if the US manages to scrape back some, that's only one country seeing the taxes owed.

Jsonb in postgres is fine, I've been using it for years. Much better than letting mongodb anywhere near the stack.

Interesting that they note that the installation and upkeep are expensive. I wonder if they've factored the upkeep into the energy expenditure. Flat roofing is far worse than a pitched room for needing replacement etc.

Basically, it sounds good, but the research needs to consider the full lifecycle of these projects.

Ok sure, there's limitations. So what percentage of their current deliveries are actually possible with drones? If it's above 0%, then there's an opportunity.

Beyond that it's a finance/ risk/ reward/ regulation issue.

Imagine a van which drives into a suburban housing estate and instead of parking individually at different houses for 5-10 mins each, spends less than 5 mins prepping a set of drones which take off from the roof of the van and return in minutes.

It saves time and fuel. It doesn't work everywhere, but it doesn't need to.

In fact it could be the same van. Do deliveries exactly as normal, and use a drone for the last half mile when convenient. It's not either/or.

I know of 4 people who have had it within the last 2 months. We're still in the COVID years.
