Someone's gotta keep track until sponges comes back.

Uber/Lyft competes less with Manhattan taxicabs than they do with other legacy FHV sectors like black car, limo, livery, and commuter vans. Each for-hire vehicle sector has its own host of regulations, and the Uber/Lyft business model to undercut everyone (in addition to relying on part time labor) was to claim they were intrinsically different and none of the existing reg schemes applied. The New York City Council created a new FHV license class I believe in 2018 for "high-volume" services which allows the City to impose regs solely on Uber/Lyft. They also enacted a license moratorium at the same time because Uber/Lyft had grown out of control and congestion was at its peak, but the moratorium actually benefitted the high-volume companies at the expense of the other FHV sectors because they could just poach drivers/licenses and the other sectors couldn't afford to do anything about it.

merry chrysler and happy honda days

yo I'm just minding my business in a stall and then two guys walk in mid-conversation and kept it going throughout their entire shared peeing experience I learned that one guy is listening to Dune via audio book and the other guy has a new gf that he met via bumble and they're official as of two weeks ago, on and on all while everyone's doing their business the weirdest part was they didn't just use the two urinals together given they were cool just chatting anyways, one of the guys used the other stall so they each had to talk just a little bit louder

Yes both mobile and desktop. I sent KN a message earlier today.

it's NYPost so its obviously overly dramatic and tabloidy but also https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/tech/moltbook-is-a-new-social-media-platform-exclusively-for-ai/

I always assumed it was an efficiency thing. Once it wasn't a necessity to minimize the amount of space a game takes up, developers just forgot how to even try.

Happy birthday @Oda!
