  • Best? Maybe not.

    But until the underlying social issue gets resolved, it’s a solution to address it.

    It’s also one that could be utilized alongside other protections for women, or as a stop gap to get to a better solution.

    They still will need to work out other ways to empower women to terminate a ride (both as driver and passenger) without penalty AND to ensure the passenger is let out of the vehicle in a safe place. Along with better reporting, investigations, and consequences for those who do harass.







  • On essentially all of them, they went to a swipe right to like and a swipe left for no.

    Except when actually trying to make a match, it’s more advantageous to literally swipe right on everyone to maximize matches and then unmatch if you match with someone you aren’t interested in.

    But if you are swiping left, you will match with significantly fewer and potentially none. It becomes demoralizing. And it takes much longer to make a decision if you are looking at everyone including those that don’t match with you so you go through fewer people to potentially match with.

    Wait until you match with someone to look at their pictures and their profile, and only then, decide whether to stay matched or unmatch.

    I had quite a few short relationships from tinder and bumble. But some of those wouldn’t have happened if I were more picky at the swiping stage.





  • It’s why I live so much commercial stuff and things like bacnet.

    Everything basically is just basic I/O with either analog or digital signal wires. Well documented. But it typically requires lots of actual wires running back to a controller.

    I hate how consumer stuff is all different connections in so many different ways and they don’t care if they deprecate a feature or something. What works today can be fucked up because they have unilateral control to change how their shit works in “updates.”
