It would be an issue if they were lying about how often humans were needed, but as far as I can tell they’ve never claimed anything like the “100% success rate” stated in the OP’s post.

Good idea, but pretty sure this is already widely done. For example, Alex Gravely (architect behind copilot) mentioned on No Priors[1] they would generate the implementations for tests in random github projects and check if they passed as f

If there's no oligopoly, why does it matter that a lot of people rent? What part of your original comment does that support?

by grandmczeb 3y ago
Your original comment alleges an “ oligopoly”. How many units would you guess all 12 owners have across the 7k properties?

Lyft changes assigned drivers for reasons that have nothing to do with priority pickup. Absent a confirmation from Lyft, I’m skeptical that was the reason.

You’re a huge outlier then. There are tons of popular snacks in Europe and almost all of the top 10 countries with the highest candy consumption per capita are European (highest being Germany.)

You can’t see it from the street so it’s a “secret.” Though to be honest I don’t think it’s a rational decision - not a psychologist but pretty sure there’s some mental health issues going on.
