As a passenger, to me cash is far more convenient, as it preserves my privacy and nobody can overcharge me. The bill is usually 20-30% lower than Uber.

I'm sure 99% percent of drivers will choose 30% more money vs "avoiding risky cash". And they have an option of direct money transfer through mobile phone too.

That's an excuse, and very weak one. Tax subsidy is a minuscule part of the cost savings.

Why do we need Uber in the first place? Where I live, there is an app that directly connects drivers to riders who pay cash, and nobody takes 30% fee fro mdriver's wages.

Fun fact, everyone I hear speaking out about Amazon taxes and worker conditions, has Amazon Prime membership.

Uber's cost per ride is exactly zero. So they WILL make more per ride. Of course, there will be fewer rides, as more people will choose car or public transportation. They will probably lose overall.

That site looks like a collection of copy-pasted standard "investment wisdom" articles. The word "petrodollar" used in this particular article strongly suggests a propaganda operation, similar to RT or ZeroHedge.

Because iPhones are cheaper in the US and can be resold for profit/gifted.

The article states that people will pay subscription fees to cooking sites and sports blogs. Not gonna happen.

Still works for me ... they just switched payment model from pay one time and enjoy forever to pay every year. Should have allowed old users to enjoy forever IMO ...

I remember long ago there was a service called Napster, that could distribute pirated songs "peer-to-peer". I wonder if it could be used again instead of the "platforms", because Napster network wasn't owned by anyone and nobody profited from it, so there is nobody to sue here.

Amazing how slow things are moving ... took 50 years for RISC to catch up to CISC, and no other more advanced architecture is on the horizon.

Both algos will crash if the target is not on the list, so both are equally bad :)

Military spending is $934 billion in the 2021 budget. It's spread out among different agencies and budget categories, so you must add it all together. It includes:

    Defense Department base budget: $636 billion.
    DoD Overseas Contingency Operations: $69 billion.
    Departments that support defense: $228 billion. They include the Department of Veterans Affairs ($93 billion), State Department ($48 billion), Homeland Security ($48 billion), FBI and Cybersecurity ($10 billion), and the National Nuclear Security Administration ($17 billion).

This is 63% of all the discretionary spending in the budget, i.e. the budget outside of mandatory payments such as Social Security.
