"Furthermore, while Uber now allows riders to tip their drivers in-app, this did not become available until June 2017, which is outside the scope of our data. We do not believe that cash tips – which were possible before
in-app tipping – had a material impact on driver earnings."
The study did not have any actual tip data for drivers. Tipping was always an option in Uber before June 2017, it just became mandatory for the app to ask a user after each ride. I really think the study is missing some crucial data surrounding tips.
>IMO the bigger problem is corporate free loaders. All the local walmarts use way more police time than the targets, but Walmart doesn't pay additional fees for the intensive use of police.
I really have a problem with this statement. It's not like Walmart is trying to gobble up police services. Your statement reflects the Bloomberg article written about this topic, which IMO is a flawed view. The pains that Walmart faces are similar to many other retailers in non-affluent areas.
I think replacement of magsafe with usb-c is a step in the right direction. Hopefully one day products will all have the same ports...unless there's a cooler faster usb-d that has even more function. Maybe one day there will be no ports at all.
Great article thanks! Although the article was about the unfortunate side effect of having contact information publicly available, I also discovered that there is an open source community to establish standards for the back end infotainment systems in cars (and other things). Neat stuff.
