I’d love to see a competitor to Uber and Lyft built as an employee cooperative with profit sharing based on work load.

Shame on you for pointing out the obvious! How am I going to get rich on suckers after the angel investors sell when it becomes apparent that there is not path to profitability?

uber has admitted in various filings that they can only EVER make money if they succeed in driving all of public transit out of business, gain a full monopoly and hten treat their workers even worse.

I’m convinced that many of the “disruptive” companies we see these days really just exist to enrich their executives. They float the scheme for a few years on the backs of investors while the executives collect millions of dollars in compensation, all the while claiming to be scaling the business towards…

I was being sarcastic, but....

1st: I think the only fair way that Uber and Lyft can work is to be a booking portal that takes a flat fee per transaction, leaving the fare charges up to the drivers. Then the driver is a real independent contractor who can set their own prices and hours.

The future of ride-sharing is as a municipal public transit platform.

You mean like a Taxi company?

I grew up in cars like this. Seeing the first vehicle showing me rpms, my mind was blown, too, just from the other direction. It's very easy to shift gears based on audio and arse feedback (AaAF) alone. Takes a five minute drive to figure that out.

Happily, the ‘99 Legacy was wired for the tach, all I had to do was swap the speedo over so my odometer would remain low miles unlike the high miles one I pulled in the junkyard. That Sentra cluster is indeed sad.

This is North Korea-level barren sadness

You could be right,

Looking at you, Uber.

Wow, that was sad looking.

I think this is the crux of the issue. The only reason the solar roof exists is that Elon wanted to dupe investors into believing the acquisition of Solar City was a good idea, when in fact it was a way to bail out his cousins who ran the company. It has never been a good idea, any more than the ludicrous “solar road”…

Hah! This article is awesome!

It applies to all panels, but individual times exaggerates the issue to a whole new level.

Is it possible to have too many gauges?

Bulletproof like this?

You know, I have to imagine panel gaps are a pretty serious issue on a roof.
