Whats clunky about them? I've used and owned a few.
They're fine. The interface is largely good now.
The reality it's a very different gaming experience and many people don't like it
The barrier for entry on any apple product is going to be high.
There is no UI problem. There is no hardware problem. There s a game problem. Beyond golf, beat saber, and flight sims, the games are not good on it

Reply to comment by amitym in 95% of Bay Area Cities Lost Zoning Authority: In 105 jurisdictions of the Bay Area, anyone can build any residential projected at any height or density so long as 20% of the units are for low income. by dolphins3
Vancouver has the same issue. They tried to go a large scale rezoning plan and there was a large push from rich residents to have it zoned like "Paris".
Paris, the thousand year old city with no real dt core and unlimited land with no geographical barriers.
Vancouver, a dt core where most business is that is a literal island and The broader area that has oceans or mountains on all 4 sides meaning it is very land restricted and there is an area that isn't even central, downtown, that is highly sought after . We've everyone river crossing requires a 15bn bridge because the rivers and ocean there are huge, unlike the over passes they have in Paris
Nimbys are cancer they got theirs, you can rot.
This from someone that lives in Paris and lives in the affected area and actually owns where that development was for, in other words I'm fine with you knocking down my neighborhood of low rises if it means fellow Canadians can actually own a home.
What nimbys have done is delay and deflect, first claiming it was foreign ownership, then landlords.
If there wasn't such scarcity, people wouldn't buy them to rent them out for profit but we're constantly at .2 percent vacancy.
Foreign ownership is taxed heavily and the money is put to affordable housing, their market share is tiny.
Also, even if you believe the first two points BUILD MORE AND FIND OUT, cuz the status quo of doing nothing isn't helping

Yes, but the predicted peak of Tokyo population was 2020 so this is still a surprise.
Almost all developed nations have negative population growth without immigration. Japan is very strict on immigration and it's deadly a great place to visit, but not live.

I'm in Vancouver. There are tons of jobs at 25 hour with zero experience, yet people still do these jobs.
The guy i referenced was a refugee from somalia. He had been here awhile though. I wonder if there is a fundamental lack of knowledge about taxes and other hidden cost at play they may not be so large in other places. It might not cost so much to repair your etc maybe. Maybe taxes are lower

The numbers are brutal, doing these types of jobs is not smart. Literally any other employment is a better option.
I can see some cases where the driver maybe have cognitive issues, or other things impeding their ability to work a regular job.
​
If you take into account fuel, depreciation, repairs, your full hours worked. It's very bad.

They should, but people wouldn't pay it. And yea there seems to be no shortage of people willing to be paid peanuts like op here.
It's baffling why anyone does this. The one exception i see is on a bike for exercise and as a side gig, but if you have other income you'll get even more wrecked on taxes. Really, it'd just be for the few extra dollars and exercise.

Yea, these numbers are fucking appalling. Is this person in a developed nation? They must be right?
Like, this is absolutely fucking brutal. Even at his best, he said 20hr, dear god. Min wage is 15 in some places and is far less effort. And he has an average sub 10/hr for sure.
​
I've stopped using these services, I always tipped 20% plus but the drivers were often brutal. I live on a street you cant turn left across, the app always accomadates for it. So many times these guys would ignore the app, couldnt turn left, and then just vanish. Uber is the same way, they often ignore the app, go by it, try to turn but do it on another road that doesn't get back to it, and they cancel.
I'm in vancouver, in the core of the city. Streets like this arent uncommon but I do find that 9/10 drivers i actually talk to travel in from the sub urbs to do this kinda work. Which means they are travelling to and from work for an hour plus.
​
I had a guy working for me at 28/hr. He started doing uber, calls in sick the next day. Day after, im like what's up? He says, "I started uber and one ride from vancouver to chilliwack paid me 200!! So I'm quitting."
I told him that's all good, but he isnt getting that 200, that's what the guy paid. I tried to show him on the app, that he will still have to pay income tax, that was about a 160km trip, gas.
He was so happy though, said he was going to be rich. I wished him well, and off he went.
​
It makes me wonder in general what people are thinking doing these jobs. The only way I see them working is if you're on a bike and you're also doing it as exercise and as a side job, although as a side job you'll get wrecked on taxes if you have any kind of decent job as well.
I don't see how the average driver/delivery person doesn't see how little they are earning.
