We have a solution for which companies should operate: it's called the free market.

The fact that you're being downvoted shows how much of a socialist hell-hole HN has become.

No one is forcing people to drive for uber and no one is forcing the rider to use uber. In my city, Accra, Taxis were so expensive until uber came to the market and forced down the price.

The only system that puts the consumer (read: common man) first is the free market (if and only if politicians would allow it to work).

Let's see how much of a capitalist you are. Why do you believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis? What evidence do you have in its favor?

I humbly suggest to you that, if P!=NP, then the Efficient Market Hypothesis (any flavor!) cannot be true, as otherwise we could program markets to solve NP-complete problems in P time.

Edit: Remember, downvote means "you are right and I must hide your argument lest it show others my folly". That's how the free marketplace of comments works.

Please don't take HN threads further into ideological battle.
