Mr. Stingly posted:This is what I'm talking about. If you live in some prairie town caked in cow poo poo then all this is a total joke. You hop in your Corolla you paid a couple nickels for at the Piggly Wiggly or HEB, and blow down the 2-lane freeway to whatever IT job you work for whatever farm equipment company and share a laugh about hipsters, clad in your Seinfeld era mom jeans. Unaware like an untouched Amazonian tribe that a few thousand miles away the future is a real thing. There are Teslas all over the road, and if its not a Tesla its a Volt or a Prius or a Leaf or a hybrid. They are a necessity in a densely populated metropolis that must carefully manage and regulate its pollution. You're already an old man, confused by changes you disagree with or don't understand. I saved $15,000 you cry! these days it is very "un hip" and "not groovy" to say that you like thing but this post was funny and I enjoyed it

http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2015/04/02/uber_leaves_san_antonio_to_protest_regulations_it_wasn_t_an_empty_threat.htmlquote:On Tuesday, Uber announced on its blog that it would mark its first anniversary in San Antonio by suspending operations there after April 1. “City officials have created a regulatory climate that makes it impossible for us to meet the high standard of service that riders from over 170 cities across the U.S. have come to expect,” Uber’s blog post stated. “By adopting these rules, San Antonio officials have eliminated thousands of jobs and a safe transportation alternative from their city.”  Good http://www.chron.com/houston/article/Houston-Uber-driver-accused-of-rape-6177712.php quote:Jermaine Bulies shared the cab with the unnamed woman when they traveled back to the Crowne Plaza hotel where he and another friend were staying. The woman was sick and vomiting, so Bulies found the woman's ID, found her address and left her in the custody of the driver, who he asked to take her home....Burton told police that he and the woman were unable to determine where she lived, so she asked Burton to let her rest at his home, which he did. There, Burton had sex with the woman, he admitted to police. He woke up in the morning and left home for work, leaving the woman in his bed. A fine and outstanding Uber driver at your service!

In other Uber news, if a driver picks you up at your house, drops you off at the airport, and then drives back to your house to rob it, Uber will totally refund your fair http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_27820884/denver-police-seek-uberx-driver-accused-trying-break quote:The Tuesday arrest of an UberX driver accused of dropping off a fare at the airport last week — only to return to her Denver home and unsuccessfully attempt to break in — exposes some risks of riding with strangers. quote:Uber officials said they have spoken with Montgomery's passenger, refunded her ride and let her know that Montgomery, who operated on the UberX platform, has been deactivated

Explain to me why this EXACT SAME THING could not happen with a regular cab. Oh wait, you can't. The only reason this is news is because it's Uber. Regular cab drivers treat people like crap all the time, but you never hear about it because it's such a common occurrence and therefore not news.

Uber people are a 70/30 mix of actors and various extroverts attempting to supplement income by gamely letting strangers into their cars, and criminals looking to get paid while arranging the details for various as of yet uncommitted crimes.

I saw a new startup the other day on HN. Their service is that theyll pick your car up from your house and go fill it with gas and then return it to your home. loving lol. The idea is bad enough before you realize all the gas for the return trips would be wasted.

There's a startup in San Francisco that will not only do that, but also wash your car, park it in a garage, and provide on demand valet service within 15 minutes anywhere in the city. For $5 and hour and a $15 daily max.  http://luxevalet.com/home#how_it_works

I want Uber to perform background checks too but the quality of service as a whole has been noticeably and consistently better than a regular cab service whenever and wherever I've used it. It's not as good as Lyft, but much more widespread and available. A few bad apples doesn't make the entire thing bad, no matter how much goons want it to.

The idea is bad enough before you realize all the gas for the return trips would be wasted. There is a service that is getting ready to ramp up in Seattle where, in select neighborhoods, you can drive your car to your destination and they will take your car and find a parking spot for you so you don't have to do it. This means at any given time, densely populated areas like Capitol Hill may have people just driving around looking for spots that don't exist for an hour or more? I think the idea of the service is to cater to people with disabilities but unfortunately I think it's more likely to cater to idiots with money and Teslas.

as bad as uber can be, to be fair taxi service is the loving worst. i switched to uber from taxi in providence b/c it was so absurd oh sorry, drunk and downtown, but you don't live within a 2 mile vicinity? sorry not going to drive you there, no matter what you offer to pay. oh you need us to pick you up at 1pm? sure we'll be there. 30 minutes late, because gently caress you. and you can go to a competitor if you want, but they're all just as bad. eat poo poo.
