Pollard [1], Nicholson [2], and Schonhage-Strassen [3] seem to have come up with it independently around the same time, using different approaches. Strassen is said to have discovered the Pollard approach in 1968 but there is no (written) record of it.

It should also be noted that, while it was not exactly the birth of the FFT, Cooley-Tukey's 1965 paper [4] on it was what kickstarted research on FFT and its applications. This was just a few years after that.

> That seems like a nightmare. I sure don't want to go through the trouble of making 10 different orders just to save 10%. If I wanted to jump through that many hoops I'd pick it up myself.

I believe GP is saying they don’t care which of the 10 restaurants they place their single order, and if they knew which one would deliver most efficiently, they would choose it.

Best to keep these sort of Hindutuva extremist rhetoric (or any other extremist rhetoric) out of HN.
I dont agree. Their innovation was stitching a whole swath of the cheapest and least reliable labor (part timers with a pulse who have an hour or two to kill) into a fairly reliable system. Leguslated higher wages destroys that innovation and highlights just how price sensitive the delivery demand is. It can never be a career at volume.

I slowed ordering when it became obvious the drivers were going to multiple restaurants, driving in the opposite direction to do other deliveries, and then my food from a relatively nearby restaurant was ice cold by the time I got it.

I stopped completely once they IPOed and it became a 30 minute back and forth for partial credit for missing food when they used to just issue you a full refund in 30 seconds.

> As in, the doctors the FDA employs would be the ones primarily driving decisions like "is this a drug? is it safe?"

You might want to look more closely into that one.
Probably because DAB has been designed to be spectrally efficient, allowing one to cram as many radio channel as possible into a slice of spectrum. It's a property of error control codes, as used in DAB: that the closer one gets to optimal performance, the sharper the cutoff between working and not working. As range increases: works, works, works, BAM, gone...

If it's optimal, the quality of a digital link will be pretty well perfect up until that cutoff (but no link is truly optimal). DAB's design placed emphasis on more channels rather than longer range, so the point at which DAB cuts out will likely be before the point that FM has degraded to unintelligibly. In theory there can be a region where FM has degraded but DAB is still holding up, but in the name of more channels this region is probably small.

If you are using GCP or AWS, take a look at Firestore and Dynamo. They are fully managed (no maintenance for you), reliable, fast, cheap, scalable, and easy to use. Despite being designed for heavy-duty usage, they work perfectly as a simple key-value store.

Indeed. Bass lines can be interesting in this regard - they are often repetitive by definition. One song and bass line I find captivating is “All Things” [1] by Hieroglyphics; the bass line anchors the whole song and repeats for the entirety! It works, in my opinion, though seems to be incredibly rare for any part to loop for an entire track.

The song “truck bed” [2] by Hardy has a similar longterm loop on the guitar part but it doesn’t last the entirety, it builds up to a release at the end.

Former radio dj so just think about these kinds of things a lot when listening to music.

I've seen it be self-sustained in small-town middle America, where a fairly loose-knit bunch of folks work together to make it work.

It just doesn't seem to scale globally very well without a continuous cash injection.
The flip side of minimum wage is often overlooked: people on the bottom end of the spectrum, who struggle to compete with other minimum-wagers, are cut out of the workforce. At $15 or $20/hour, the job requirements are higher than at $10/hour, and these folks stand no chance.

Likewise, the low-end employers are priced out of the market.

It's the same survival of fittest, except the weakest constituance is hurt most. They are very sparse so their voice is never heard.
> The market is still pretty wide-open for a service that offers rapid, random delivery services and that takes a very small cut.

Arguably they make sense in terms of a wealth gap. There’s a fairly long history of such services operating at small scale for the 1% that can’s afford full time servants but can pay for 10% of one by using housecleaning services and someone pickup their food etc.

Where this falls down is trying to scale the business to less affluent people without some serious limitations. Pizza delivery places for example generally have a small delivery radius which makes a huge difference.
I don't think they had much of a chance with that level of competition. Apple was able to completely shift the market from RIM's strength, which was their full physical keyboard. The screen was for basic productivity applications, and messenger, not for input. There was no app ecosystem. It took years before Blackberry came out with a touchscreen version and it was lackluster. By that time most people who weren't diehard RIM keyboard lovers had already switched anyway.
It seemed to be sustained until the government required that wages be increased, then it was not sustained. Was there some temporary subsidy or other artificial force propping it up? Do you mean welfare?

It's illogical to say a business is not sustainable because it dies after its been kneecapped by regulation.

Most rigorous definitions of quality incorporate a target expectation that is impossible to exceed. You are removing errors, so best case, exponential improvement in quality adds nines - a la the sigmoid function you mention.

Getting a meal delivered from a restaurant for a single person or a couple was always a luxury item. You got food delivery when you had a lot of people together.

Pizza was different, as mentioned in a sibling comment, because the pizzas themselves were cheap and shitty, there were only 3 pizza shops that delivered in your area: Domino's, later Papa Johns, and usually some popular local chain (not Little Caesars, not Pizza Hut, neither delivered.) They frequently took way longer than they said they would, each driver was delivering pizzas to 5 locations average on a run, and if it showed up cold you would eat it anyway, or throw it in the oven for a few minutes.

This individual attention did not exist, because it was obviously too expensive to provide. Only upper-middle class professionals got non-pizza restaurant deliveries, it was more expensive than it is now.

Chinese might be an exception, too. A lot of people would get Chinese delivered. But it would always be a ton of stuff in those neat, stackable white boxes, and the person delivering rarely spoke English (recent immigrant.)
This is identical to the problem we have here in Australia

At these sizes, the packaging is probably a significant fraction of the cost. They may also offer a bare die version at < $0.01 each.

Despite its name, this is not an 8051. Looks like this competes with the PIC10F200 which costs dozens of times more yet has a similar "RISC" (that's what they call it, but it's more like an 8-bit accumulator architecture) ISA and general layout.
You’re absolutely right. I was thinking of smaller transactions. It’s “only” 11% for a cup of coffee. For comparison in my high sales tax city the tax rate is 6%, and that funds a huge fraction of our municipal infrastructure
Like an 8051, I guess?

Leaving the tech sector isn't necessarily the solution to your problem. Restructuring your career in a way that is sustainable and viable for you physically and mentally is the challenge that everyone goes through in life. When you are younger, time is on your side while resources are not; the opposite is true when you get older, assuming you have at least tried to consolidate and accrue some resources (people, money and skill/knowledge).

I think most people don't leave IT because they are actually not passionate about something enough to motivate them to take that leap, or they have not tried hard enough and so it leaves them no real choice other than to continue doing what they know best.

It actually doesn't matter what you do as long as you put in an honest effort. Because if you keep at it long enough, it can become something that helps you deal with the stress of the job (rather than giving the money to a psychiatrist), and if you become good enough at it then you will have a natural alternative to turn to if you really can't stand the main job anymore.

I have gone from IT to something that I am passionate about, which is related to mental health, sustainability and actually helping people for a change. It is not easy and I am not there yet, but because I have started early enough, it doesn't feel too painful (it's not the first time I have changed career either) and I am motivated enough to overcome the things that people see as 'problems'.

What are you open to doing that will improve your chances? Would you undertake training or spend time trying out different careers by leveraging your existing skills and knowledge? Maybe education so that you can contribute towards a better future, or building some product or service from what you have mastered in IT?

Also: Pizza delivery is one-to-many, in terms of locations.

Traditionally, one shop had one or more drivers who would deliver multiple orders in one trip, and then return back to that same shop to pick up and deliver the next round.

This is very different from services like Doordash, which are many-to-many in terms of locations. There's a huge efficiency loss here.

Also different: Pizza delivery was single-source. If there was a problem with the order, the driver could fix it. Things like "Hey, man. You forgot our bucket of soda" could be fixed pretty quickly and painlessly -- they'll just bring it over on the next round, usually rather quickly.

Things are not this way with Doordash.
I think the typical approach is to use the regular site name (so just "Google Arts and Culture") and let people click on it assuming there's something interesting about it to justifying being posted.

>What did this people do before all of these apps came into play?

Simple, the same thing many of us still do today:

1. We make our own food at home, using stuff we bought at the grocery store.

2. If we want restaurant food, we get up and leave home and go to the restaurant and eat there, and enjoy freshly-made food instead of cold food that was made 45+ minutes ago.

3. If we really wanted to eat professionally-made food at home, we ordered pizza. The pizza industry figured out how to do delivery cost-effectively decades ago (and keep the food hot too, something the new app-delivery industry apparently still hasn't quite figured out). Also, take-out has been around for ages.

The choice of SQLite is a great one as the distributed sqlite space is also growing. You have things like rqlite (raft+sqlite), and you have cloudservices like CloudFlare D1 which is basically distributed/HA sqlite. Plus you can swap it for basically any other sql database.

Of those who were familiar, only 23% said they had a favorable view of "the rally"; 42% had an unfavorable view of it (including 7% who predicted violence would occur) and 18% said it wouldn't accomplish anything.

I tried it once. I'm in a suburban area. Food took 90 min to arrive. The driver went to/from the front door 3 times, trading food, before we wound up with our pizzas. They were cold.

What put me permanently off was the mistreatment of restaurants by the delivery corporations.
