      That's about as silly as saying Adam Smith was a neoliberal. Neoliberals are the primary ones who advocate for stricter IP laws. It's anarchists and socialists who view such laws as an impediment to creative action and one's labor.

      And the fact you don't acknowledge that rent seeking has led to horrors such as the gig economy and the DCMA really shows your ignorance.

      Lol the *whole concept* of the "gig economy" was to attack "rent-seekers", that's their whole ideological selling point What Paul Graham called "liberating potential energy" Uber busting up the old taxicab medallion "cartel", Airbnb busting up the hotel industry's "oligopoly"

      While acting as a middle man that EXTRACTS value from the labor of the drivers themselves. But please continue to lie about the impact of Uber on labor rights (i.e. they keep calling their drivers contractors and fight all unionization).

      No, the whole concept is that bc digital replication is effectively free, digital intermediation operates ~$0. if you can smash the meatspace intermediation (the medallion cartel), Transaction$➡️0 Yet you’re still profitable bc, like office space, fractions of pennies add up

      That's the rent seeking. You take money from riders and the drivers coming and going. That's classic rent seeking per Ricardo. I don't get why this is considered a controversial position.

      Uber is objectively cheaper for the rider, at least for now, than taking a cab That's the whole reason it caught on so fast, that's why they were able to present to the public as fighting "cartels"

      They'll jack up the customer rates once they have monopoly. That's how it works. Or are you ignorant of how such businesses work?

      And do you think Uber is bad because of this hypothetical rent they will be charging at some point in the future as opposed to the race to the bottom for prices and working conditions their drivers are experiencing right now

      With the impending tech disruption, how much longer do we think, realistically, that taxi driving will be a viable occupation?

      You mean self-driving cars? I've become way more of a skeptic on that after the recent scandals

          It's basically a hard problem, not sure if it counts as even NP, but no way I would trust those vehicles. It doesn't solve anything new that we haven't had existing tech for it (buses, trains, etc).

          Self driving cannot possibly be only NP hard.

          If you're NOT talking about self-driving cars then as long as there are human beings whose job is driving other people around then that's a job that needs to be paid a living wage

          Self-driving. I don’t think it will happen in a Big Bang next year or anything, but pretty clear co’s like Tesla and Waymo will iterate to full autotomy eventually.

          There's many problems. First is the potential issue of people hacking them (VANETs are a real security nightmare). Second is the fact of liability. God, this is one area of development I refuse to ever get into as a dev. Just a big NOPE from me.
