As a passenger, to me cash is far more convenient, as it preserves my privacy and nobody can overcharge me. The bill is usually 20-30% lower than Uber.

I'm sure 99% percent of drivers will choose 30% more money vs "avoiding risky cash". And they have an option of direct money transfer through mobile phone too.

That's an excuse, and very weak one. Tax subsidy is a minuscule part of the cost savings.

Why do we need Uber in the first place? Where I live, there is an app that directly connects drivers to riders who pay cash, and nobody takes 30% fee fro mdriver's wages.

Fun fact, everyone I hear speaking out about Amazon taxes and worker conditions, has Amazon Prime membership.

Uber's cost per ride is exactly zero. So they WILL make more per ride. Of course, there will be fewer rides, as more people will choose car or public transportation. They will prob…

That site looks like a collection of copy-pasted standard "investment wisdom" articles. The word "petrodollar" used in this particular article strongly suggests a propaganda operat…

Because iPhones are cheaper in the US and can be resold for profit/gifted.

The article states that people will pay subscription fees to cooking sites and sports blogs. Not gonna happen.

Still works for me ... they just switched payment model from pay one time and enjoy forever to pay every year. Should have allowed old users to enjoy forever IMO ...

I remember long ago there was a service called Napster, that could distribute pirated songs "peer-to-peer". I wonder if it could be used again instead of the "platforms", because N…

Amazing how slow things are moving ... took 50 years for RISC to catch up to CISC, and no other more advanced architecture is on the horizon.

Both algos will crash if the target is not on the list, so both are equally bad :)

Military spending is $934 billion in the 2021 budget. It's spread out among different agencies and budget categories, so you must add it all together. It includes: Defense Departme…

These kind of encounters are going to be more common. AI people want to make AI. But it can be dangerous. And, by definition, we can't control AI.

true ... might be an innocent mistake too.

There are 6 numbers, so it's not a 5 out of 50 lottery. 5 out of 50 means every 42000th tickets wins, which is a very high number, and can only be used in a lottery with small priz…

True. I'm old and I just have no desires anymore to spend money on. Low appetite, low libido and low energy, tired of traveling ... wish I had 1/100 of that money when I was young.…

What about girls? For me, money always was only as important as it helped with the girls.

It's less complicated however than to get 12 assassins out of the country without trace after such a messy kill.

Such a pity young capable people spend their most productive years doing something entirely unproductive. And one more thing. Are they winning with scratch cards only? Then it coul…

I have noticed that the way to make money on the internet is to provide services to people wanting to make money on the internet.

This scenario is not realistic, as you can just lengthen time between subsequent login attempts per username.

And you are also contributing, without pay, to G$$gle AI and their plans of world domination.
