pgiulan, to Minneapolis

With #Uber & #Lyft pulling services from #Minneapolis May 1, I've been watching for alternatives.

#TRIP seems promising as a #decentralized "#rideshare protol": https://www.trip.dev

Built by the same company, #Teleport is the first mobile client using the #opensource network: https://www.teleport.xyz — with it still being invite only, my referral link to log in: https://app.teleport.xyz/rider/refer/CQ1AeSCrBX6GNxRtBXhxydbxg3ZSnT2i365qxQCXQ3qF

Anyone with insight or experience with either willing to share? I'm reading there's also #blockchain

Japan has begun the slow rollout of ride-hailing services provided by private drivers through apps such as Uber and Go, almost a decade after other countries introduced them. Here's how it works. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/04/02/ride-share-explainer/

Biorąc pod uwagę że większość kierowców Ubera itp nie zna polskiego, to nałożenie obowiązku posiadania polskiego prawa jazdy jest uderzeniem atomowym. (bo chyba nie można prawka w obcym języku zdawać, a egzamin jest pełen kruczków językowych)

Choć imho słusznym.

: "Dynamic pricing today may be unavoidable, but what consumers crave is a baseline of stability and clarity on how much we’re paying and why. There’s something unshakably disorienting about prices changing so quickly and finding our wallets beholden to a set of algorithms we’re not privy to. “It gives the feeling that we’re being manipulated a little bit more than we think we need to be,” says Zagor. Dynamic pricing, with the speed and detail with which it’s utilized today, allows businesses to optimize prices — for businesses, it can eliminate a lot of the uncertainty over whether they’re getting maximum profit. But that can come at the expense of more uncertainty for consumers. “We have this tension between ultimate efficiency for a business and consumer fairness,” says Witte.

People are more accepting of shifting prices if they feel they can game the algorithm a bit too, like knowing what driving behaviors can impact their car insurance rate. But if they have no control over the prices they’re offered, either because the rules of the algorithm are unclear or because they’re being charged more for an aspect of their life that they can’t change — like paying a higher price for an Uber due to a nasty storm — that’s a lot more frustrating." https://www.vox.com/money/24105250/fast-food-restaurants-dynamic-pricing-algorithm-wendys?utm_source=twitter&utm_content=voxdotcom&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=vox.social

with the banning of #TikTok i have to, yet again, remind all the partisan Democrats:

  1. the mythical WHITE Silent Majority is as real as the weight loss from these pills Betsey Devos told me i could become a millionaire selling them to you

  2. Democrats have been consistently losing the white demo since the 1990s but for the Obama blip.

  3. the base is neither black or white but BROWN: very Latin@ and So. Asian —and south-east Asians are poised to overtake Latinos the next decade... 🧵

ALSO
is a "national security" threat because cannot compel them into spying on you and me, the way and all the companies controlled by the oligarchy do.

all techbro companies are para-military agencies. techbros are one mustache away from Springtime for Hitler; gleefully spying on you & me for the state.

wanna ban TikTok? criminalize .
