They may in fact think their customers are price sensitive (the majority of customers are for any mass service; we already know that most of Uber's customers are price sensitive), while their aim is to capture their customers in a regulatory manner so that they have no or few alternatives.

If they can establish a regulatory framework that favors them (Uber), they can raise prices as competition is further restricted, to more than offset the $21 / hour. Their ideal has to be to establish that favorable competition environment, enabling considerable price increases that get them closer to profitability (ie exceeds the wage cost increase by a large margin). In the current situation, Uber is facing a bankruptcy scenario with their low sales growth, extreme burn rate and with a competitive market where they can't freely increase prices. That tells you what their goal has to be.

If they were certain their customers were not price sensitive, Uber would have already spiked their pricing far higher to push toward profitability.
is there an interview process to be an Uber driver? Or do you just download the app and turn it on? If it's just the app then why wouldn't everyone just download the app and start making $21/hr

Nothing. If anything, I'm feeling like we should create bots, browser extensions that repeatedly do this and cause massive havoc on their system until they listen and start figuring out better ways to fix their system. Folks are not fighting back. I'm not into ads and have never cared about using them to monetize, but if I did and they took my money. It's war.
Another comment in this thread suggested that they do this because otherwise people will be afraid they skimp on safety. By treating their customers as cattle, they underlines that that's where the savings are and not elsewhere (eg maintenance).

I guess the trick only works because it's a safety sensitive business, and the same approach wouldn't work for, say, a supermarket or a jewelry brand.

The right amount is the amount set by the market. I don't understand these people protesting... no one is forcing you to work for Uber.
Call me a cynic, but I don't see how this doesn't hurt drivers. It sounds good, but it's too good to be true. I'm wondering if they are factoring in only the amount of time actually driving. So if you have a 5 minute drive in 60 minutes, at 21.00 per hour you only make 1.75. I'm guessing their hourly wage doesn't include reimbursement for car mileage, gas etc. too. That seems like a raw deal to me. Am I missing something?

The Humans Are Waking Up
I have a number of concerns about the efficacy of this, but they are made more difficult to rank by not understanding how you are planning to evaluate and use the results.

Can you elaborate?
An Uber driver will typically drive 30-50,000 miles/year (looking at a few quick search results). At that rate, your car will wear much faster and require replacement or major maintenance much sooner than is typical.
Blah blah blah. While I appreciate the skepticism, this is BS only for the sake of it (as so many HN comments are).

You instantly lose credibility with this line:
"I bought a Giro Atmos over a decade ago and never needed to upgrade because the top of the line helmets were only a couple grams lighter, after a decade of “improvement.”

I hope you've since replaced it. General guidelines are to replace a helmet every three years due to material degradation and UV damage.

Yes, you are correct that there is a marketing element. Likewise, you are correct that people value their lives over $250 price tag.

As a bit of antidotal evidence, I had a fall this weekend on Evolution trail on Galbraith MTN in Bellingham, WA. I fell from about 6-7 feet up on a feature called the Stinger, a long, super fun north shore style bridge (watch some youtube videos if you want to see it). My face and head were impacted in the fall and I suffered, what I think is, a very mild concussion. I replaced my helmet afterwards as per the recommendations. I also have a history of TBI caused by a cycling accident where wearing a helmet saved my life. I am absolutely going to buy something that even vaguely suggests an advantage for injury prevention. Mountain Biking is, after all, and inherently dangerous sport.

As you suggest, any progress is good progress when it comes to saving lives. But I absolutely disagree that it "is a bet on the order of Pascals wager," especially when it seems I myself have made that wager and come out ahead. So, with the utmost respect, unless you are a leading researcher in this field, STFU.
Wow, I never realized my intuition was off by so much. Speed of light in vacuum is still about 16ms between coasts, which is orders of magnitude worse than I thought. I thought most latency came from routers and switches but a significant portion of delay is indeed speed of light.

Berkeley Lab: It Takes 70B Kilowatt Hours a Year to Run the Internet (2016)
I think it's a careful balance between contributing for the greater good and hoping it compensates you later on (whether that be fame or fortune).

IMO, the perfect storm is to create a software that solves the layperson's problems just fine (enticing adoption). And then has a proprietary section that makes more sense for those who have the money (re: @beneologist).
Wow, and that's 3 years ago, I imagine streaming and cloud services have seen considerable growth in that time.

>To generate 70 billion kwh you’d need power plants with a baseload capacity of 8,000 megawatts — equivalent to about 8 big nuclear reactors, or twice the output of all the nation’s solar panels.

>Sliced up per capita, the average American uses about 200 kwh a year for his or her internet use, costing about $20. For those of you obsessed with carbon footprints, your internet use is responsible for the emission of about 300 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.

Obviously that solar panel figure is probably inaccurate now, 3 years is a long time with the way PV has been deploying but compared to the growth in data usage/servers in that period it may still be relatively accurate.

Ok, now how about a sincere focus on safety and driver accountability?

I started using Uber and Lyft several years ago in NYC because the taxis were horrible. More than half the rides would feature a driver on the phone, severe road rage, and reckless driving.

Now it seems to have come full circle. Ridesharing is almost as bad as taxis used to be. Some drivers are great, but many are rude and seem to use the roads as an outlet for pent up aggression. In SF, around 1 in 10 are obviously stoned. More are overtired and easily distracted.

So I'm back to driving or public transit. I love ridesharing and would use it all the time if it was safe, but I'm not putting my life or a family member's life in the hands of companies that can't guarantee a competent driver.

Windows wasn't unsafe to use, Internet Explorer and Outlook Express were unsafe to use. It had nothing to do with a lack of app stores, and more to do with the fact that ActiveX controls were allowed to run rampant on a machine, and that they could install themselves with a single dialog box that nobody ever paid attention to, and sometimes even bypass that.

I mean, even with an App Store, IE would have been pushed hard, just like Edge is now. And it still would have been a buggy mess, and people would have still been infected...

I can't believe I just defended Windows here...

I fixed hundreds, maybe thousands of machines infected with malware back in those days. Switching users to Firefox and a safe e-mail client nearly eliminated all of their issues.

> winds up at the Apple Store with Apple having to fix damage

What is this nebulous "damage"? If an app escapes the sandbox and totally hoses the operating system, the fix should be basically plugging the phone into a cable at home and waiting say 24 hours to prevent evil maid attacks. If the malicious app manages go further and screw up the "hardware", then that implies a serious security vulnerability and so should be covered under warranty.

A security model based around every bit of code on a device being vetted is fundamentally unscalable. The cracks are really starting to show, with increasing false positives and false negatives.

The company's "mission" has always been that of "we provide a healthy alternative to smoking cigarettes". I remember reading that was the internal koolaid that got people to work there - they weren't creating new smokers, they were converting cigarette smokers to a healthy vaping option.

The problem is more nuanced than "they block someone elses ads, and display their own," though. Modern digital ads (since their start in the early-mid 90s, have been about data collection. In 2009, online advertising was further adapted to include a process known as Real-Time Bidding, where users are auctioned off (usually in less than 100ms) for each ad-slot on each page they visit. The ad industry has been transforming more and more into a system of _surveillance capitalism_.

These changes to the digital advertising industry have driven mass adoption of ad and content blockers. In 2015, more than 500 million users were blocking trackers, and ads/content that relied on them. This protects user privacy and security, but hurts the sustainability of the Web we all know and love. Brave aims to deliver a fully developed solution.

Brave's model (which is predicated on user-consent, and privacy-by-default) seeks to fully-solve the aforementioned problems. We offer advertising without compromising user trust, and better value to advertisers/publishers during the process. Perhaps most importantly is that Brave Rewards brings disillusioned users who once ran ad and tracker blockers back into the fold.
We need a regulated entity to do directed (tips, recurring), user-anonymous, off-chain transactions, and to comply with OFAC and other hard regulations. We can't do it ourselves. Wallet is the least of the issue, even if the publisher were willing to take BAT.

Our future phase (Apollo) blockchain work will move more txns on-chain but not solve all regulatory problems. No blockchain can do that unless you are using p2p directly, and then on the current big chains you don't have anonymity or low fees. This may change, we're working on it.

Not really, it's tougher, but if you're bringing queues into your workflow then it should be because you need it. You are having to deal with scaling, resiliency, parallelism, faster response time, etc. The benefit then out weighs the debugging overhead. But at that point you have a distributed system. If you have a Distributed system, you should have centralized logging and distributed tracing too so you can debug easier. Without those, you are going to go through the pain.
I think safety razors and double edged are the same thing.

But yeah those multi blade cartridges are rather bad, not to mention expensive. I've seen a pack of cartridges with 6 or 8 blades each for $7 a piece recently. Not sure how much they last, but my DE blade lasts for months and costs $0.10 a piece... That "investment" in a $15 DE razor will keep paying off forever...

EDIT: that life time estimate is on the basis that I shave like one a week though, if you shave daily you'll go through a few $0.10 blades in a month maybe :)

Using this website (https://usedfirst.com/cars/toyota/prius) and a Prius as the car as a guideline (Since I feel like that's the most common car I see when I take Uber/Lyft) it looks like maintenance + depreciation on a 3-5 year old Prius is about $2000-$2500 a year.

I delivered pizza's full time for 7 years of my life, so I'm well aware of the toll a job like this can take on your car, but even if we triple the high end to $7500/yr to cover the extra wear and tear, gas, and the extra miles/depreciation they are putting on their car, they are still making a little over $17/hr pre-tax. Additionally, a lot of those expenses are tax deductible which means their take home would be a lot higher that most other people making $17/hr.

There are a few major cities where that wage feels a bit light, but for the vast majority of the country, $21/hr feels like a livable wage, even paying for car expenses.
You may like Clubhouse.io then. Clubhouse feels like I am using Github when committing code and automatically updating issues which I love. But it also has the higher level project management tools Github is missing.

To Zepel team: I think you are off to a great start. Personally, I would like to see more information about the Github integration on your marketing pages. Since I don't know the Github integration details (or couldn't find them), make it feel like I am using Github Issues when I commit code on the command-line just like Clubhouse has.

>The vast majority of customers want an app store with tighter controls,

Most people I've talked to don't even realize you can allow apps to be sideloaded on android. Most people don't even really look at their settings menu other than to change backgrounds and stuff.

I mean, at least on the latest phone I bought, I had to go to the build number, tap on it a bunch of times to get to the developer options, scroll down through a bunch of options that likely look terrifying to the average user until I found the option allow apps from outside sources.

When I tell people they can do this, or I tell them about f-droid or show them things on there, they tend to be kind of shocked that you can do that and usually want me to teach them how.

I've noticed a lot of people for the most part are kind.of scared to really dig into their devices without being told it's ok, but as soon as they know it's not going to destroy everything, they usually start trying to dig deeper.

The easy walled garden approach I find really stops people from wanting to learn more about what their devices can do and gives kind of a false sense of security, there's plenty of garbage and unsafe stuff in app stores and honestly, I use almost as much diligence downloading from there as I do from random places on the internet. A lot of people don't read reviews or bother even looking at permissions before the get something from the store and end up filling their phones with garbage anyway.
Fantastic. I really miss the form factor+keyboard of the Blackberry Bold line, I'd love to buy a ready-to-use Blaspberry or FeatherWing.

> McInnes was a leading figure in the hipster subculture while at Vice, being labelled as the "godfather" of hipsterdom. After leaving the company in 2008, he became increasingly known for his far-right political views. He is the founder of the Proud Boys, a neo-fascist men's group classified as a "general hate" organization by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

I called him a neo-fascist, I'd love to know what makes you conclude I don't know who he is.

That's not learning for myself, learning for myself is consulting various sources and investigating things he said and actions he's done. Not hearing a milquetoast description of his views from the man himself that aren't being challenged.

> thats why its not good to deplatform people you dont like because other people told you not to like them

Why would you jump to this? What in my response told you that someone else told me not to like him? McInnes screaming the n word the way he has in the past among many of his other actions makes me not like him.

Edit: I'm also clueless as to how my response was directly to the main thread as there was a deeper thread I was trying to respond to originally. Not sure what went on there.
