When i look at most people what they do when they retire, it doesn't feel like most people actually have a good strategy for it anyway.

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

I'm not sure where you made this experience though.

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.

A pure captialistic issue.

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.

The benefit is, that people who need taxis, get taxis. Old people or sick people.

I have not seen any uber in smaller cities.

Uber goes were the market is 'cake'

I don't know what you mean referencing black people.

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

Yes its a lot of effort to scrape some website which might change its UI.

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.

I would like to have both options: Full file access and controlled access. I guess not eveyrone wants nextcloud full file sync.

But yes this is shitty regarding google.

We had already plenty of websites supporting real B&Bs because real B&Bs are registered and can use normal hotel searching websites and portals.

I don't think anyone at AirBnB wanted to solve a real world issue.

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...

Anyone can explain to me how zeroproof will actually work in a way that i don't have to trust anyone instead of just switching whom i trust?

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?

I feel your realization and still hope my startup will have an competitive edge through quality.

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