I'm a little worried. More Lyft drivers on the road might mean it's harder for me, a simple pizza delivery man, to deliver value across the city of Chicago. At the same time, I welcome Lyft to challenge Uber's dominant position - and hope they can gain market share while maintaining a stronger moral stance than the incumbent.
- pgodzin 12y agoHow does that affect your delivery business? Do you think more people take Lyft to get a pizza instead of waiting for delivery?
- ChrisAntaki 12y agoI just worry about the congestion. Then again, I'd rather be driving alongside a Lyft driver than a taxi driver, if you know what I mean.
- shazeline 12y agoI would argue that an increase in ride-sharing usage reduces traffic congestion.
- ChrisAntaki 12y agoI hope you're right. It definitely helps with parking.
- benatkin 12y agoI need more evidence to have an opinion on whether Lyft and Uber are good for the environment. It's really hard to tell because there are people choosing them over public transit, and people choosing it over car ownership.
- logicallee 12y agowhy do you mention being a simple pizza delivery man in all your comments? One of your recent comments: >Well, that's possible with compile-to-JavaScript languages. Also you have the option of plugins like Unity, if you're going for something graphically adventurous. >That being said, JavaScript is a powerful tool, if wielded correctly. It's so flexible. In a lot of ways, it's like a pizza. One man orders a pizza with anchovies, another with green peppers. And on and on. Eventually it's like they've got two completely different dinners. if you know about compile-to-JavaScript languages, and consider JavaScript a powerful tool and so flexible, why are you a pizza delivery man? (An unskilled job requiring no training.) Why don't you get skilled work as a programmer, even entry-level? And why would you make an inappopriate pizza analogy in a thread about javascript, or mention >When I knock on someone's door, and then hand them a hot box of pizza, they smile and often hand me money: $5's, $10's, sometimes a $100. I'm just doing my job, just like this Harlan "Father Time" Stenn. I suppose we take for granted, that which we can't see. in a way that is completely unrelated to the story you posted it under? Are you using this as a 'novelty account'?
- CPLX 12y agoI, for one, value the contributions of the pizza engineering sector here on HN.
