Why not create your own Google ad for your restaurant and point it directly to your website. With doordash likely doing this for millions of restaurants, it can’t possibly cost more than a few cents per customer to outbid them.

If you really want this to go viral, take Google to small claims court for your fees, and live tweet it.

Point taken. But when a startup brags about how they're burning $200K+ a year on something they probably don't need to, then follows it up with "we don't want to learn how to be more efficient", a tiny part of me dies.

DevOps isn't easy, but its not that hard.

The level of arrogance with these guys is quite something.

Considering they're spending $211,000+ per year on hosting, and paying at least twice as much as they need to, it would be incredibly irresponsible not to spend the time to learn how to do devops and get these costs under control.

Since they're located in Canada, the amount of money they save could probably pay for a full-time in-house devops engineer.

This reminds me of EverPix, a photo storage company that went bankrupt because they couldn't pay their Amazon storage bill, yet considering that 99.99% of their photos were basically in 'cold storage', could have probably traded the majority of their $35,000/month S3 bill for a $8,000/one-off BackBlaze Storage Pod + colo fees.

Er... it does look an awful lot like GitHub. Like down to the pixel.

Props to both parties for dealing with this like adults versus suing each other, which is how most of these situations usually end.

1) Are you sure it's not your ad blocker?

2) The only "safe" browser is a browser running inside a VM, and even then, your definition of "safe" may vary.

3) At least Mozilla isn't actively trying to harm people's privacy and security:

4) Mozilla will probably start to gain more popularity once they release servo, their new browser engine. https://servo.org/

I'm from Calgary, and I went through the GATE program covered in this article.

While some of my classmates were certainly a bit ...eccentric... the vast majority were wonderful, completely normal people and many of them went on to do incredible things.

I've since moved to San Francisco, and I've gotta say, SF and the GATE program seem to have a lot in common: both fill me with the feeling that anything is possible; coupled with the nagging suspicion that everyone else is smarter, harder working, and more successful ... :)

Holy crap. They opened-up their entire stack! You can literally spin up a clone of the site.

SOLVED.
