Transportation is a very-close-to-perfect-competition industry and the Uber, Lyft, etc. business model has very low switching costs for both suppliers and customers. They're going to run out of money for subsidies sooner or later. I guess Uber is hoping that Lyft runs out of money first, dies, and then Uber can jack up the rates, but that just gives an opportunity for Lyft2.

In short, nobody has any interest in sharing the road with bikers for a whole host of legit reasons. gently caress the share the road movement. gently caress bikers. It's good exercise but gtfo out of my city before one of you dumb privileged assholes pulls out illegally in front of my car and gets mangled and I am the one who has to pay all your medical bills and look like a piece of poo poo (this has happened numerous times before luckily with no accident because I am in a car with real brakes and the alertness which [cannot be taught btw] of someone with years of real driving experience on city roads so I'd always see it coming and stopped in time. Joggers are notorious for doing this but at least they're using the proper city infrastructure to do their obnoxious look-at-me exercise routine that could just as easily be done outside of the city or inside of a gym if you must). thathonkey fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Jan 27, 2015 |

thathonkey posted:I'm super important and if I hit someone my primary concern is my loss of social status You know I actually considered driving for Uber, even though I don't have a new enough car. Then I read about the insurance thing and welp I'm good. I've driven professionally before and I know that no matter how carefully you drive eventually you are going to get hit, hit someone, or someone is going to fall down getting into/out of your vehicle. It's a statistical certainty. My insurance is dirt-cheap since I have old cars and a spotless record, last thing I need is putting a ton of uncompensated wear on my vehicle trying to pull a fast one on my insurance company. I don't like lying and I'd hate to get sued and trying to work things out with my insurance company. Also, a gem from James Altucher Influencer, Entrepreneur, Started & sold several cos, Author 11 books (latest "The Power of No") , Angel Inv., : 7 Myths About Making Money First line of the article: quote:Last night, about two feet from me they were having sex. I know this because, using the scientific method, I cupped a glass against the wall, put my ear against it, and listened. quote:I was storing everyone's password who ever logged into the site so I looked up his. I decided to check and see if he used the same password for his email. quote:The average multi-millionaire has at least seven different sources of income. You can't have seven full time jobs. A "source of income" takes up much less time than a boss paying you to sit in a chair. quote:"Personal brands" have been the latest fashion. "Branding" used to be ok with corporations. A Coca-Cola bottle really does have sexy curves. That's a brand.

Sorry but pplkpr seems to be some sort of art project commenting on this phenomenon "pplkpr was created by Lauren McCarthy and Kyle McDonald to explore the implications of quantified living for relationships. Who owns the data created between two people, what if it is captured and used? What if algorithms could understand our relationships and make better interpersonal decisions than we can ourselves?" "Is this a real app or an art project? It is both. It is a fully functioning app based on scientific research. We are two artists that created it as a provocation, a taste of where we may be heading with our quantified living and algorithmic decision making. It relates to some previous projects we’ve made like us+, Social Turkers, and Conversnitch. We hope that seeing and trying the app will enable people to think critically about this future and speak out about what we do and don't want to manifest." It is kind of a like a scifi novel but in app form. Though i am sure if someone wanted to throw a few millions in VC their way they wouldn't mind trying to make it a real product.

I've seen some spandex wearing bike enthusiast blow through a yield sign and zoom in between a line of people already in the cross-walk and then yelled at them to look both ways. For all their bitching about how drivers need to be aware of them, respect them, and look out for them, they give zero fucks about pedestrians Bike enthusiasts are the worst, and yeah enthusiast bikes and equipment are really expensive. This isn't the Schwinn poo poo you get at Walmart. Your bike enthusiast is the same type of person that dumps a ton of money into rock climbing, hiking, backpacking, and other outdoorsey stuff

Good now that we've all agreed bike enthusiasts are insufferable, pretentious assholes who will immediately cling to something about fitness as their primary (and only) defense mechanism when called out as such. Let's get back to something important that needs hacking: sleep. Lunasleep.com Time to disrupt the gently caress out of the mattress industry.

cycling in Europe is cool good and practical in most major cities. Cycling in the USA is loving scary because everything is a gently caress ton bigger, the cars, the roads... its not a fun experience. I am a seasoned cyclist and going the six or so blocks from 101 and broadway to Central Park in NYC felt like I was taking my life very much in my hands.
