The problem is not ride sharing, its the fact that being a taxi driver in NYC is viewed as an investment rather than a job. That you have to purchase a medallion for insane sums of usually borrowed money. It's a broken system. Could

Reflief shouldn't be protecting their broken business model and the corrupt medallion system. This isn't a problem technology is causing, its loan sharks locking taxi drivers into debt with the insane prices of a medallion. I&#x

I really don't believe that subpixel rendering is such an inherently complex problem that there is no clean way to implement it. From the OP it sounds more like its a pain to implement due to the number and design of abstraction layers

Honest question, what uses does blockchain have? I have yet to find a single use case that isn't better served by a few centralized or federated systems. Even digital currency I believe is better solved by systems like GNU Taler.

Don't have all my sources on hand, but the last time I looked in to this the general conclusion I came to was that there's evidence to suggest that someone was in fact paid to put vulnerabilities into the IPSec stack of OpenBSD.
