> this outage probably cost them just over a million bucks
I have always wondered whether it is accurate to think about it like this. It sure is interesting to know how much companies make in revenue per minute, but it doesn't necessarily 100% translate to lost revenue in an outage.
For example, if I wanted to purchase something on Amazon, but the retail site went down I would not visit another site to purchase it. I would just wait until the site came back up. In that sense, the revenue isn't lost just delayed.
I wonder when this picture was taken. The iPhone design in the simulator, the old Gmail favicon, the old OS X scrollbars all indicate this being several years old.
Wouldn't be surprised if this code has been rewritten multiple times since.
I imagine they must do this to minimize risk for certain accounts based on factors unknown to me. I don't know what your error message said exactly, but perhaps the restaurant themselves placed an upper limit on delivery orders because they don't like that they are missing out on the tip for large orders. This is purely speculation by me of course.
Some of the fancier places will easily be over $25 of food so if you order for two, $50 is not difficult to reach.
Out of curiosity had you ordered from DoorDash multiple times before you attempted that group order?
Reading this spiked my interest in graphs especially considering I never learned anything more than the basics taught in algorithms and data structures courses in college.
Any resources (i.e. textbooks) recommended for learning more about graph theory as well as currency arbitrage?
