Ignore it and let people be angry (at Google for not receiving their mail from various places). Meanwhile move to a decent service like ProtonMail.

I know about colocation, but I was under the impression that once you see an order in the book it is in the book. I.e. your order will be placed after it.

Leaving aside the environmental damage, which is obvious albeit somewhat sensationalized in this comment, how is said plastic actually harming human health today?

The article from Scientific America in the comment refers to the harm plastic can have in other animals in words such as "may", "might", "could". Has there been any study on how it is, now and actually, harming our health? Any measurements, case studies, or collective data from people suffering from any sort of disease related to plastic pollution?

>all about having high capacity pipes that can see an order come in

I don't understand how they can see the order come in. Is this something that only happens in decentralized exchanges?

Here in Brazil my experience has been the same: drivers use all apps.

I just don't see how Uber can maintain said network on the long run and still be profitable, not something I'd put my money in.

What Uber is doing would generally be described as predatory pricing on other sectors. On sufficiently unregulated markets such is Uber's it's extremely risky, no anti-trust legislation is needed to trump it, just a continuously low entry barrier, including lax regulation. For a more concrete, though only related example (rather than speculation as to Uber's future) see Dow's history.

Of course they're creating value, Uber and the like is of great value for its users.

The service is merely being subsidized by investors who believe in such practice.

Is it a bad investment? Maybe, their investors did not think so and they were free to compare it with other options you deem obviously better, considering you're even saying Uber and the like are stealing these other business would-be money...

That would not solve anything, it would create a problem.

It's the result of government interference everyone around here loves so much.
