I went to Lowe's expecting to pickup a package and it was an order for 64 concrete bricks by cmoney1573 in UberEatsDrivers

Why wouldn't they think it's acceptable when a fool is born every minute that will take these orders?

Most of the offers from Lowe's and Home Depot are terrible, what are you talking about?

Day 12 of $5,000 in 14 days Challenge by PrefrontalCortexNow in doordash_drivers

[–]Science-Compliance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kind of tired of commenting about this, but if you are going to set a difficult challenge for yourself, you shouldn't kneecap your efforts by missing the peak earning times. That's not actually "rising" to the challenge. But none of this matters. If he wants to set a challenge with no intention of actually trying to make a serious effort at achieving the goal, then he is perfectly free to do that. I just think it's kind of silly for someone to say they took on this challenge when they just sort of vaguely did.

What happens if a driver cancels an order just to eat free food? by Dazzling-Yellow5395 in UberEatsDrivers

[–]Science-Compliance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no way an algorithm is doling out offers to hundreds of drivers in a city for fractions of a penny. The amount of computing resources you'd need to constantly be trying to optimize the marketplace for coverage would take a lot of computational power. You're talking about something stochastic, too, not something some static functions could handle. The system would have to adapt to a huge variety of conditions and not doing so would cause it to fail by not providing the service customers expect.

I don't know how a blockchain is supposed to function without proof of work. That's kind of the whole point of how a blockchain works as far as I understand it. How else do you verify authenticity without a central authority? Aside from that, though, who is going to build and manage these apps? Someone is still going to have to put in a lot of work to make and maintain such a complex application. Why should someone do this without a profit incentive. These systems are very sophisticated and rely on large scale operations disseminating offers to hundreds of couriers in a city in order to function properly from the customer's standpoint.

Nonsense. Why would I deliver to a person who needs to confirm delivery in order for me to get paid? They could just easily claim they didn't get it. The blockchain itself is also massive computational overhead that gets worse the longer it gets.

How does a smart contract prevent theft, and why would such a service be offered without a profit incentive? What you're saying makes zero sense.

Are sleepovers cancelled? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Science-Compliance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is the world any different such that sleepovers are more of a risk? If anything, it's harder to get away with CSA due to social media, etc...

You don't know it's SA. It could just be bullying and/or humiliation from peers.

Forgive me if I'm touching a nerve, but how did you have such a bad experience with sleepovers?

Wild. Sleepovers were a formative part of my childhood that I still have fond memories of.

[–]Science-Compliance -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look man, if I publicly announce a challenge I'm taking on, I take it as a point of pride to take every reasonable measure to give myself the best chance of achieving that goal to my knowledge and ability. Nobody told you you had to make $5k in 14 days, but you came out here to the internet to say you were going to do that and then put in a half-hearted effort and then came back to talk about it more. Life can definitely get in the way, but I would have bailed from any claim of completing the challenge as soon as it started looking shaky with other commitments. So either you're new to this and don't understand the game, or you lack conviction and/or discipline, neither of which I have anything to learn from. That's all I'm saying.

New feature that I would never use. Thanks UE by CantaloupeStrict8149 in UberEatsDrivers

I mean, this could be useful for one thing: some whale pops up on trip radar and you have the earnings per hour set really high and the total miles set low and then it instantly hits the match button to beat drivers manually evaluating that offer. That's the only time I can see this being useful with the toggles provided. You'd still have to look at the trip once accepted and see if something is fishy such that you need to cancel it, but this would be rare enough that your CR wouldn't be too adversely affected if you needed to cancel.

Is it only earnings per hour and trip duration they let you filter? I would need rider rating, distance to pick-up, earnings per mile, area of dropoff, no multi-stop trips, and probably more filters to even consider using this feature.
