Traveling slowly for almost two years. I tried staying at least a week in each place and at least a month in each country. Stayed in some places like Peru for longer (9 months total).

Do you mean Specs' Twelve Adler Museum Cafe? I couldn't find anything called Spectacles in N Beach. Thanks for the recommendations!

Are all of the engineering jobs remote friendly? On the Careers page only one position is listed as local/remote

I love that style. Does anyone know if there's anything similar for React/Redux? An alternative to using large boilerplates and having to customize it ...

create-react-app has some basic generators, but I don't know if their system is extensible in the same way that rails' is.

I completely agree. If you use Instacart for cooking, even one substitution could make you have to go to the store again. And I find that a lot of Instacart shoppers have very little intuition/common sense about what are sensible substitutions.

I tried out Express because I would gladly pay the subscription fee if it worked. I ordered from Target a couple of times and the second time about a quarter of my order was substituted. And I go to Target enough to believe that most of these items were there. The shopper just didn't know where to look. In fact, I could see in real time that this shopper wasn't qualified. I wish there was a button that would've allowed me to abort and get a new shopper.

I can't imagine having to deal with this if I were preparing a recipe.

Negativity (Mean, Meanness, Patents) ... did you filter out cases where mean was used in a statistical sense?

That's a really good point! No, I did not, although in hindsight I should have had thought about that. As I had mentioned in the README, the modeling perhaps is not very high quality, but I surely do hope to make it better once I get some free time. Thanks for your suggestion! Means a lot :-)

I feel like Food Delivery is a place where competition may actually have driven up prices for the consumers. I was gone from SF for two years and when I came back to the same neighborhood, I felt that food delivery became more expensive because of DoorDash, etc.

Places that used to not charge delivery fees now do, maybe because now they realized they could? Or because they have to compete for delivery people. Also, some apps now charge a 20% default tip. It is not rare to get three types of fees on top on one delivery order, even for something simple as a burrito.

Don't forget the price markups! If you compare prices on Doordash or Yelp vs restaurants' websites you'll often find that the prices themself are 10-20% higher.

I think one potential of Latin America is the time zone lines up better with North America. This might not matter, depending on what kind of business you're doing.
