I don't think people are reading it correctly. They are going to be paying $21/hr minimum while a driver is ON A TRIP. During non-peak times you could wait almost an hour with no ride. You'd still get nothing for that time. T

I would not consider a basic "EMT" highly skilled. Maybe a paramedic, then yes, but not an EMT. However if you're referring to residents than yes they would be considered a lot more skilled. It doesn't take much schoolin

I am aware they pay the drivers incentives, but I am not sure I agree about the Pool rides, do you have a source for that? There are plenty of sources out there which speak about how drivers dislike Pool rides and often turn them off or rej

Sorry maybe I am failing to understand a concept here but Uber does not even have to worry about vehicle costs at all, not to mention no expensive overpriced taxi medallion.

by Fogest 7y ago
Still doesn't really explain it. A taxi ride is not 59% more expensive than an Uber, yet a taxi driver is getting paid a better wage. So Uber is definitely burning more money in other areas not related to the ride itself. In Canada now

The majority of places I have been put more than a single sauce. I've found mediterranean places love their sauces and it's something you usually get a lot of.

But that doesn't mean Uber is losing money by offering it less. It costs the driver more to drive farther for less, Uber doesn't have a higher expense for a longer ride.

But their cost to run servers/app should not be costing them 30% of each ride. They should be making good profit. They are blowing a lot of money in other areas if you look at charts that outline this.

> They are burning through VC money by subsidizing the cost of each ride I've never understood that. How are they subsidizing it? They take over 25% of what the customer pays and all they have to do is run the app. Whether they char

It depends, many places I've been you can get a falafel based meal to be made vegan, but typically they will include sauces not vegan, thus they are vegetarian meals by default. Not hard to swap the sauce to make it vegan though.

And even if the RSS feeds are not used a lot by the majority of the audience, I wouldn't be surprised if it helped bring in other audiences. I feel like RSS users are more likely power users and may be more a bit more interested in the

Yeah I saw the link there but unfortunately that is not very helpful as if he isn't doing that on every single article you'll have a hard time finding it.

Kind of ironic because I can't find any RSS feed linked on this site (apart from in the blog post itself). Not even my RSS reader picks up that he even has a RSS feed. Bit odd to be commenting on others not having RSS on their site if

I don't see how the argument is much different than for someone having some beers? If they have a few beers daily and blow over is this fair as it likely is not impairing them due to a higher tolerance? How is this different than if a

Weed is also in other forms like edibles too which are quite potent. I have seen many people who have smoked excessive amounts, or had way too many edibles. I have personally working in the event medical field dealt with countless people wh

I am happy these changes were pushed forward before a politician like Doug Ford got into power as I think we know these would have been reversed as we saw with the carbon tax.

Not sure this is really the same thing. However in my case I like it harder because I use bluetooth multiple times a day with my phone and it's annoying having a persistent icon showing me it's on despite not caring.

Could you just take a picture of it and reuse it later?

The risks are usually known, the problem is more that it's a slow process to get everyone to update their stuff and have it ready for new versions of whatever languages and tools they are using.

We personally struggle to just keep Ubuntu updated with LTS releases, let alone managing all the updates to ensure software works on the new packages installed on whatever LTS version. The issue is that when you have smaller companies with

In Canada though? Because in Canada it is definitely rare to see cash now except in boomers. Even a lot of places don't accept cash like gyms for even purchases like drinks or towels.

Correct. At some point if you can't trust any companies, especially when in a contract like this one then you may as well use NoScript because it's unavoidable in this current state :/

Then block it with an extension? Mozilla has a specific contract against this. It's not just a "promise", it's a legal document. Why would Google care to violate that contract and risk a big shitstorm just to use the dat
