take automation of vehicles. first they are all manual. then you get some basics like attitude hold or altitude hold for an aircraft, then you get FLCAS and then full autopilots that can even land
Now someone in the nebraska can make living selling to somebody in Zimbabwe fairly easily. The whole gig economy is new - Airbnb, Uber, task rabbit.
at level , a revolution, technically at the code level maybe, but to the pilot, if you serve/fly long enough, you see increasing improvements that hopefully redue your workload, becuase on the other hand, you are giving more to do
sure, but transportion costs going down is nothing new, that's the global order we subsidize I mentioned above
USN/USMC gurantee sealanes are going to be open, air lanes mostly open, etc. information tech has made the coordination easier because of real-time communicatoins between businesses etc
Those companies are revolutionary new ways to make money.
Or are the start
uber is revolutionary? it's just a taxi company that had enoguh legal muscle to take on the taxi cartels that run most local meter-based transport
imo, uber's revolution was the legal strategy. people tried before but could never fight the taxi medallion cartels
they are the fusion of several other technological improvements in positioning, routing algos, payment processing, identity management
No. Its the business model that's revolutionary. the company perspective they are using assets that aren't there generate money providing it connection between buyers and sellers.
For a driver for spective that we are renting out our cars OurTime for little gigs. Yes this is revolutionary
..sorry for typos..its early
I think virtual servers are a revolution, like AWS, etc, because they let you divorce logical systems from hardware, which were a dramatic human resources issues for many companies
uber takes advantage of that
Sure... like I said the internet changed everything
The Russians took full advantage of it...now we have Trump
true, but we have you too
net positive?

Well gee ... I don't think my influence is going to be as impactful as Trump's
their warchest is a directly result of monetary policy pumping money into equities semi-directly
Doesn't matter to my point. The economy and jobs are changing
In ways we can't really predict
I am no expert on monetary policy. You seem to know a lot more
is uber going to eventually be all automated cars?
we may have to start thinking about aborbing all those uber drivers as they shift to AI fleets to finally get profitable
moving the goal posts intentionally
```This isn’t a problem unique to Uber and Lyft. None of the ride-sharing companies around the world — Didi in China, Ola in India, Grab in Southeast Asia — are profitable. And none of them can convincingly articulate a path to profitability aside from vague references to improving the bottom line and reining in ride subsidies and driver incentives.
“I don’t think Uber is going to disappear overnight,” Sherman tells me. “It’s not a dinosaur that’s going to die.” Along with Lyft, Uber will be able to sustain itself without posting a profit for as long as the capital markets remains confident in the companies’ predictions about the future. ```
Hannity should be prosecuted by the next administration for FARA violation
