As a random QA guy, I must mention that the cost effectiveness of determining whether a website is usable when high is questionable at best unless we are talking about a snack or pizza ordering website.

You're much more likely to have a visitor base that is likely to be intoxicated, and Browsing Under the Influence is still legal. I would thus offer my services as fellow QA to determine website usability while under the heavily intoxicated; client may specify desired level of user intoxication from mildly tipsy to fall over drunk.

All your need for this is a British QA team and schedule the work for Friday afternoon. Or if in London, any afternoon.

Maybe Kozmo didn't fail because of the internet bubble...

Ahh, thanks for the memory - I miss Kozmo! How can it be after almost 20 years we don't have a replacement? (OK I think we know why...)

I recommend the documentary ‘e - Dreams’ about the company.

Amazon was an early investor, and they now offer same day delivery in the metro areas Kozmo serviced.

Netflix allowed for returning DVDs via pre-paid mailers, instead of dropping them off at Kozmo dropboxes at random local businesses.

They also worked with some local eateries to deliver food.

I had once ordered a dozen bagels, a Pokemon DVD, and I think a magazine in a single order.

I loved the concept and the company. According to the documentary, they were on the path to profitability, but threatened the existing status quo of then incumbent providers.

I wasn’t aware of that, many thanks for the recommendation.

Disagree.

For many applications, especially CRUD, if your UI isn't so obvious someone with low executive function can successfully use it (half asleep, fucked up on some drug including alcohol/prescription), then it's not as low-friction as it could be.

Exactly. Not to mention people using your website while distracted or multi-tasking.
