Nice. Grab contributes their mapping data to OpenStreetMap.

"The data from drivers, consumers, and merchants in more than 500 cities in Southeast Asia has helped add more than 800,000 kilometers of missing roads to OpenStreetMap, the open-source mapping platform, according to Grab. Grab drivers contribute about half a million map inputs every quarter. "

Françoise #Dastur: "We must ask ourselves what constitutes the essence of theoretical science itself. #Heidegger shows in his lecture [of 1919] that the experience of the "thing", of what we call "reality", presupposes the objectification of life and a devitalisation of the living experience, in the sense of an eradication of the interpretation immediately given to the environment. The result of this process of devitalisation and disinterpretation is nothing other than the real in the form of the #data (Gegebenheit) which is in fact a false immediacy, a theoretical construct."

In Episode 2 vom der aktuellen Season vom #Podcast #KlenkUndReiter lernt man, wie es mit uns nach dem #Tod physisch weitergeht: Zersetzungsprozesse im Erdgrab und in Gruften:

Bonuspunkte für diejenigen, die das während dem Essens hören. (Die verdiente ich mir 😉 )

Sehr interessant: zwischen #Verbrennen und #Erdgrab gibt's große Unterschiede zur Ökologie: eingraben ist deutlich umweltfreundlicher.

In the #Philippines, the ride-hailing service provider, #Grab, holds a lion's share of the market.

Last month, I tried several new services, and was pleasantly surprised with #InDrive , that I ended up using them half the time I needed a ride.

InDrive left the market many years ago, after failing to attract consumers with their "negotiable" fare system -- which felt exactly like haggling with cab drivers who refuse to use their taxi meters.

“ had this first-mover advantage. Or rather second. came first. And you can see how it really shredded the taxi industry. Partly because of the taxi industry also.

It’s an ugly experience, right? They rig the meter. It’s inefficient. Suddenly, an comes and makes it efficient. But now we’re hostage to the algorithm,” , co-founder of social impact technology company CirroLytix
