Not always true. Not picking up is highly disincentivized.

This is a great article.

Where can I see that it was enforced.

That would mean that places where nearly everyone has safety nets (countries with welfare) would have a higher amount of entrepreneurship. That is not the case. Entrepreneurship seems to strive in harsh do or die conditions like in US or Is

Why do you think they should be employees?

by Jommi 7y ago
It's not just percentage based. There is a fixed booking fee sometimes as well.

So you're basing this on experiences in a city in the US? Do you know how many cities Uber operates in?

We're at a point where you are massively crippled from the rest of society if you do not use it. There are so many uses that I just cannot afford to not be on the platform.

This is the core problem. And it's just natural. These platforms have a tendency to be natural monopolies. That means it requires government interference.

Very interesting. This is just a correlational study, and is limited to 40-65 year old americans. But it stills strikes for a need of more investigation.

Im not forgetting labor cost. I would actually say payroll tax, benefits and office space are even higher in California than any European country.
792.
by Jommi 7y ago
Not even close to true. Especially when comparing California with EU countries, even high tax rate ones. The difference between net salary and what company pays is actually very similar.

Depends on the city. This is far from being the standard, even in the US.

You are really not missing the forest for the trees. Facebook has grown so large that it's no longer an individual's decision to be there or not. Your data is there whatever you do, growing as a phantom profile based on data you g

Because it creates an unfair advantage? If switching costs are high it enables monopolistic power just because of high amount of users, and not because of quality of the platform.

Remember that that price also included commission from UBER, so you were already offering him 25-35% extra.

600k year for 2-3 is only real in the silicon valley bubble. You could get just as talented of a team from a Nordic Country for example and only pay 120kish

It's "monopolistic" not monopoly. There is a huge difference.

Great. Now you've created a perfect bubble for yourself.

Can you link the video?

That's why the play is with somewhere inbetween, with continental apps like Taxify(bolt), Ola, Grab and Didi. Or then web-based ride hailing.

by Jommi 8y ago
Thank you. I'm not sure how people don't grasp this.

It's ridehailing, ride-sharing is completely different. Ride-sharing REDUCES congestion. Ridehailing increases congestion if the city's public transport system is terrible. This is not a fault of ridehailing, it's a symptom

And them the prices will adjust. It's not going to change for the platform, it might actually raise the amount of orders/trips.

But Google search and aws are both profitable and legitimate business models?
806.
by Jommi 8y ago
Oh, and they are losing money because of platform competition, nothing else. That she only reason a market is making a loss for Uber, because of price/driver bonus war. I can go more in-depth into this if you want.

Uber app USED to be more convenient than the taxis that had to be called. However the companies have caught up, nearly every European taxi company has their own app. Additionally, not even Uber can beat the ease of just hailing a cab or wal

Hey, just wanna point out your commenting style is tremendously good. Somehow each one has all the ingredients of a great comment for a discussion. Thanks for the effort!

Who have you seen not reconsider their position?

Why are you giving an extremist as an example representing the majority? Extremists don't decide the vote.
