they wont bring it from the car to your door (for now atleast). or possibly not find you in a large apartment complex. or deliver to a trucker parked at a truck stop. or deliver to someone working inside a mall/large complex. or any number of other things human deliver people deal with.

Aren't they making alot of the solar panels, wind turbine parts etc...? just have 3rd shift make em not-name brand, and go green, like everyone else?

i haven't been to azeroth in awhile .. i don't remember anything particularly sexist/racist/*ist... anyone have an example?

ANYONE REMEMBER THE NOID FROM DOMINOES IN THE 80'S - 90'S? There was a lawsuit, dealing with the deliver in 30 minutes or its free. they were pushing the pizza delivery drivers to drive reckless to get the pizzas there on time. Dominoes lost, and they stopped doing the 30 minutes or its free stuff. this is the same thing in a different flavor.

THEY DIDNT SAY UBEREATS/DOORDASH/POSTMATES/ETC ... but that was implied. in that case you wouldn't get a chip.

i only see the mustang and fusion for sale as new at the local dealership. its possible the all electric / hybrid may be in a different category.

first seems i mostly agree with your sentiments, but differ on a few details. #2 geo boundaries, seems that was test on only a small amount of drivers, do not think it went nationwide/international. i have never heard of this until now. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2017%2F... #4yes you can chose different route, up to a point. Uber will calculate what it thinks is the optimal path, and calculate their fair estimate at the start based off of that. if your route is significantly longer in time or distance (which would charge the passenger more) they then have the option later to complain to Uber, and get a fair reduction, or possibly have the whole thing for free. me personally i use Waze, mostly because my city is doing lots of little road work on smaller side streets and they change all the time, and Waze does a better job of marking those closed paths. Waze and Uber don't always chose the same path to get to destination, but they are usually close enough to not matter (usually with Waze being shorter or faster) pre-virus, on say a busy friday night, there were usually enough ride requests, randomly spread throughout the city and drivers, that would not normally have to driver very far to pick a fare up. In June, my city went in to phase 2, opening up some restaurants and such. Seemed like there were very few drivers on the road. sometimes i would drives 20 miles just to pick up the next fare. If things ever go back to normal, il lgo back to rejecting requests that are say 12+ miles away from me. until then.. will just have to wing it see how it goes. for the nay sayers, last night, drove for about 4 hours, after paying for gas at the end of the night i made around $80. sure sounds like slave labor prices to me /S.

its not for new cars but carvana offers 7 day returns. the local toyota dealership does something like this. ive seen other dealerships with a return policy ...

o m g .. .you just described Uber ... or atleast what Uber is striving to be....

maybe you didnt know, whan you have a rider in the car, on an active ride, the risk falls to Uber/Lyft. thats how the insurance part works. there are 3 phases. 1 normal driving, you going to the store or whatever, with the app completely off. 2, with the app open, looking for rides, here atleast uber will cover during this phase, but i personally also pay my personal insurance to cover this phase at better rates. 3, app open on a ride with someone in the car. if an accident happens during phase 3, its all on Uber, not the driver.

thats about $720/mo after taxes and rent. take away power, internet, cell phone, maybe insurance on a beater, and you are left with say $400. you would spend a good chunk of that on just food. whats left? how do you do ... stuff? how do you save. yeah evan at $800/mo rent and 25k/year you still arnt saving unless you eat only cat food.

with current setup, as a 1099 contractor, i get to write off alot of thing, the biggest is the milages at the end of the year. with this write off, i pay very low taxes on the money coming in from Uber. also here lately, i have been putting like 5k/month miles on my car. maintenance, gas, and depreciation are out of pocket (covered by the milage fee). If things were to change, become an employee (w-2), the pay structure would need to radically change. wold not be able to claim the mileage off on taxes. would need enough per hour to pay the taxes, gas, maintenance, depreciation, extra car insurance, everything. i think the least i have made, on a bad day even wit those factors, was about $10/hr, averaged over the whole day of driving. sure you might hit a bad spurt of 1 bad hour, but that's why you go out and drive, in my case 4-6 hours a night after regular job. Uber would need to own and manage the vehicles, pay for gas, and tell people where to drive to, who to pickup. the expense of buyin lets say a million vehicles, plus maintenance is laughable.

but its Microsoft all the way down, Retailer, distributor, manufacturer.

i mean thats such a low res, dark image... could probably round up 100 people to fit that easily.

maybe something to do with shows watched per users, less users ratio goes up? just a guess
