<p>Uber Eats is also launching daily marketing campaigns to promote delivery from local restaurants, especially those that are new to the app. It will allow restaurants of all sizes to opt into daily payments on all Uber Eats orders, rather than weekly billing, and it has committed 300,000 free meals on Uber Eats to first responders and healthcare workers in the US and Canada.</p>
<p>Uber Eats, along with other delivery services like Instacart, Grubhub, Postmates and Seamless, have been encouraging customers to select <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020/03/07/postmates-instacart-no-contact/">no-contact delivery</a>. Both Grubhub and Seamless have temporarily <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020/03/13/grubhub-waives-commission-fees/">suspended commission fees</a> for independent restaurants, as well.</p>
<p>Earlier today, Uber announced that it will offer <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2020/03/16/uber-coronavirus-driver-financial-assistance/">two weeks of pay to drivers and delivery people</a> who test positive for COVID-19 and those who are forced to quarantine. The company also says that it&#8217;s providing them with sanitization products to help limit the spread of the virus.</p>

<p>Panic has worked on various, clever Mac and iOS apps <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/transmit-turns-10-we-panic/">for years</a> &#8212; including <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2014/09/25/dont-panic-transmit-for-ios-is-here-for-your-ftp-client-needs/">Transmit</a>, a file transfer protocol, and <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2018/12/02/firewatch-on-nintendo-switch-december-17th/"><em>Firewatch</em></a>, an adventure video game that&#8217;s available for Mac. So it&#8217;s not unreasonable that Zuckerberg would reach out. But, as Sasser told <em>Edge Magazine</em>, &#8220;Any time I see a company in the software world pop up and make something, that&#8217;s super interesting to me. Then they&#8217;re immediately acquired by someone else and you never hear from them again. That voice is gone. And it kills me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Had Sasser responded to Zuckerberg and sold, it&#8217;s unlikely the Panic developers would have created Playdate. If nothing else, Panic produced a truly unique device &#8212; in addition to being hand-cranked (thanks to <a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/02/19/teenage-engineering-op-z-review-synth/">Teenage Engineering)</a>, the console will receive new games weekly. Had the company sold, it could have forfeited the opportunity to do something so original. As Sasser said to <em>Edge</em>, &#8220;Maybe that&#8217;s why we&#8217;re put on this planet: to be an example of like, you can move slowly. Make sure you have enough money in the bank, make something good and see what happens. You don&#8217;t have to go for world domination.&#8221;</p>
