They did. But the model of uber was obviously designed to drive them out of business, damn legality and short term losses and devastation of the local community. Well, now we're stuck at the airport waiting for a mob of cars to fight

I'm not even sure what this means for a language to punch through in a way the author or reader might find desirable. Do you have an example?

Then they shouldn't charge for faster delivery. It just doesn't make any sense. Like i'm 95% sure in most cases you don't actually get a car faster and they just take your money and provide no marginal value (granted, I

I find it a lot easier to just not use Uber and Lyft at all. It's so insanely expensive it's really only worth it if you need to get to or from the airport and all your social circle is at work. Otherwise it's easier and chea

I have heard a lot of people speak about dynamic pricing, but I have yet to hear any benefit to the consumer or society as a whole. Basically any possible pitch for it is worse in every way than simple downward wealth redistribution.

I'm not sure what a right is if not a "slogan".

Presumably they're specifically referring to uber rather than the broader conversation about dark patterns in canceling. I, too, remember how hard it was to cancel ZipCar—I think I just ended up closing the credit account it was backed

Not to mention they don't refund you you when they fail to deliver the car on expected arrival.

I can't express how angry it makes me that I only had access to taxis for a couple years in the city before they were all pushed out and rates were jacked, screwing both the customer and the driver providing the value. It will take dec

Open source will inevitably succeed, but only in the long run. In the short term VC (or tech giant) cash will dominate any conversation. There's absolutely nothing you can legally do from preventing reimplementation (which is a good th

I don't understand why we don't just lean into the "osi = corporate, copyleft = good faith" model that's worked perfectly well for the last thirty years.

Surely the major issue is thinking you've converged when you haven't. If you're unsure if you've converged you can just bail after n iterations and say "failed to converge".

Seems a lot more productive and straightforward to sample rather than speculate.

Yes, I should have said "we just stopped employing americans".

And yet, "free market" advocates are boldly positioned in publications across our culture, pitching utopia and delivering dystopia.

I don't see much difference. What is C suppose to express that assembly cannot? What is assembly suppose to express that C cannot? Does this conversation matter to begin with?

America is split into far more than two parts. It's thousands of peoples pressed into a single space with the illusion of peace enforced by violence. The entire concept of a unifying culture is preposterous. The partisan lens doesn&#x2

This is much more revealing of how western media reports on Latin America than anything.

Republican voters can see many if not all of the same economic ills in society that Democrat voters do. In some cases they can even agree on the cause. I'm not going to stand next to how right-wing media (and its eager audience) may ch
