   When it comes to market viability there will come a time at which companies just pull out because the headache is too much, even if they are somewhat profitable. FWIW I think this is posturing on Uber/Lyft's behalf, but is almost

   Comparing them to taxis isn't one-for-one for this context: most municipalities had barriers to entry to prevent just anyone from running a taxi service (i.e. the medallions in NYC). The business will do the math to figure out what the

   I can tell you with certainty that most low-margin, high workforce industries (because I work in one of them) are looking to automate much of their workforce away especially in light of labor costs rising (minimum wage laws), increasing saf

    It's a low-skill job that just about anyone can do. Almost all jobs of this sort will be eliminated with technology/automation ESPECIALLY since higher labor wages put upward pressure on operating costs. i.e.: once self-driving veh

    They could raise rates but also run the risk of losing customers at the margin. Uber and Lyft are publicly traded companies and, as such, are required by their stockholders to maximize profit - which means raising rates, lowing costs (labor

    A few notes: - is this a question or a statement? - this looks like a partial diff-eq textbook problem - if so no one is going to check your homework for you - you will always see a stall when cooking meat - 180F is not the ideal target tem

    Ugh, the "integration tests are the only way" argument again. Test mocks are generally useful for catching most bugs, not all bugs. You still need a reasonable level of integration tests to do that, and depending on the system, th

    > “Calorie is a calorie” is thermodynamically correct, but not true when it comes to diet. It’s like saying “it doesn’t matter if you drink booze or beer as long as you get the same amount of alcohol”. Alcohol intake is much easier to re

    Exactly. I'd speculate that the article was removed because there is so much wrong with it - things that even I know to be untrue/exaggerated, especially about Ratcliffe - and R&T was threatened with lawsuits.

    I don't begrudge any company investing and expanding their business, but when there are so many LLCs and layers of complexity to get problems resolved (as stated in the article) seems rather like an intentional obfuscation.

    This is a good take. I can hire just about any JS/TypeScript I want, but if I need a C engineer (in which I actually might before year end) they are harder to find and command more salary. One thing that I would recommend is that you g

    Not necessarily - there are some costs we just eat. However in the event of outside actors having a reputable CDN in place to mitigate these things is worth your time and money.
