Less work, longer work, using more and leaving without a dime in the pocket sounds a lot better.

But at least here most cities i'm aware of, do not offer uber. But Taxis.

Big cities sure they have uber.

I also agree though, i don't like that uber is disrupting existing markets just because but taxis are shitty. Still i haven't seen an uber doing dialisis drive in my hometown, its taxis not ubers.

And something people mention without mentioning everything else.

The existing system 'worked' because we grew from a few million to 8 Billion. If we 'stagnate' at 8, its no longer sustainable, therefore it was never sustainable if its only sustainable with constent growth.

Nonetheless, automatisation is not stopping anyway. We will solve a lot of theese problems with robots and ai. The bigger the problem, the bigger the pressure.

I have not seen any uber in smaller cities.

Uber goes were the market is 'cake'

The zoning laws i mean are: commercial vs. non commercial vs. heavy industry (loud, safety requirements).

Also an UI is not a scraping API.

Also yes you also need proof. Just putting it online is not a problem. Even doing temporarily because you are really away for a period is fine.

Why does this read like we have to have kids?

I'm completly fine not having kids surprise \o/

But yes this is shitty regarding google.

They wanted to disrupt a market, same as uber, and did this by circumventing laws and breaking everything.

There is a reason why we have zoning laws: To protect housing for people. AirBnB broke this. Took my city munich / germany years in curt to get the data from AirBnB.

While Covid, plenty of reports came up how suddenly good flats in good locations became available again for renting to humans.

My mother uses flats for her retirement (she is not employed by a company and therefore doesn't get benefits) and she always tries to keep the rent low. Just that someone tried to AirBnB HER flat for more money than the rent.

Uber, just in case you are not aware of, takes the cake from taxi companies. Taxis who are there even if uber is not available. The only problem with taxis i have: They fight accepting credit cards still today. "Oh credit card? Mh were do you want to go?" yeah fu...

Aka someone wants to know if i'm over 18, someone needs to verify to that entity that im over 18.

If i now trust a random company to verify me, someone now needs to trust that random company. As usual with Crypto/Bitcoin the trust anker issue is not solved as far as i know.

I always need to trust someone somehow.

Btw. if i understand the blog they do a hard fork which leads again to an additional blockchain and the multi blockchain transaction problem is a hard problem to solve.

Anyone actually working on solving the issues of it or people just prefer to add additional complexity on it?

In this case quality also means code quality which in my coding believe should lead to faster feature development
