That wasn't on that page when I opened it, you think I'd miss that? They were reading the comments here and updated the page after I wrote the comment.

The price was $4700 something, now it's $4945.

They simply smooth over it with this:

"So we will be using a rig cost of $4500 in our spreadsheet."

That way their overall math doesn't change. Should get banned for doing things like that. These guys are up to no good.

>I didn't read all their math but I expect their final result to be off by a factor of 2-5x.

I looked at their parts list and it's obvious they aren't serious. CPU is missing, memory is missing, SAS to SATA cables, but no SAS controller, no mounting for the system board. Low effort at best.

I wish. But the reality is that if that regulation comes, it's going to be state regulation and not federal, so the effect would take years to unfold and be state by state and never reach 100%.

All those drivers would just start the next day driving for Lyft etc. Most drivers already drive for multiple platforms, so it would be a mostly seamless switch. Just losing one platform in the gig economy doesn't remove either the customer demand or the drivers.
