Even when he moved to Chicago, Uber rides to and from his office were within his budget at around $23 each way.</p>\n<p>Nowadays, he's paying closer to $32 a ride, an amount that works out to nearly $1,300 a month -- enough to cover a car payment, insurance and parking. One 45-minute journey in recent weeks cost him $94, but it's longer wait times that bother Shachat more than bigger bills. \"This morning I was late to work even though I budgeted an extra 15 minutes,\" he said, describing a transaction that required a 20-minute wait.</p>\n<p>Shachat's is a situation that's playing out in cities across the U.S. as demand for rides has come roaring back faster than drivers and discount pool rides.</p>\n<p>In Chicago, ride-sharing companies had a combined 48,000 drivers in April. That's less than half the number of drivers that they had pre-pandemic, according to data collected by the city of Chicago. The city is also down <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> ride-sharing company, Via, which suspended public services during the pandemic.</p>\n<p>Meanwhile, ride-share fares have been rising in Chicago, climbing to over an average of $22 in April from less than $16in December, according to the city's data. That's still cheaper than a taxi, although the savings are narrowing.</p>\n<p>Beyond free rides to vaccination appointments and discounts for new users, there is little relief in sight for ride-sharing customers until more drivers says is already happening. More than 33,000 additional drivers came online the week of May 17 alone, an Uber spokeswoman said, noting a decline in surge pricing in Los Angeles and New York.</p>\n<p>Lyft said it too is seeing pressures ease and customer wait times decrease. At a J.P. Morgan <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/JPM\">$(JPM)$</a> conference last month, Lyft <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/LYFT\">$(LYFT)$</a> co-founder John Zimmer said he expects driver supply and rider demand to become more balanced in the next few months.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, here are a few hacks to cut your transportation costs that don't involve buying a car or learning how to parallel park.</p>\n<p><b>Call a cab or car service</b></p>\n<p>Before there was ride-sharing, there were cabs. New Yorkers used to scan the streets for them, raising an arm to flag <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> down. And that technique still works -- if you can find a taxi.</p>\n<p>In New York, thousands of the city's famous yellow cabs remain idled, partly because of the pandemic and partly because of a collapse in the value of city-issued medallions which used to sell for over $1 million before the rise of ride hailing.A similar story has played out in Chicago where there are now one-thirdas many cabs in operation as there were in February 2020 -- the month before the pandemic began shutting down parts of the U.S.</p>\n<p>Thankfully, there are apps that can help hail a cab.

Moderna</h3>\n<p>Moderna entered the public's consciousness when it became an early leader in the race to develop a vaccine for COVID-19.

It has 25 candidates in its pipeline, including some for solid tumors and personalized cancer vaccines. If its COVID-19 vaccine is any indication, Moderna could be on the cusp of becoming the leader in a new era of medicine. Its ability to employ AI and ML is accelerating the change.</p>\n<h3>2. Upstart Holdings</h3>\n<p>Traditional lending decisions are typically only based on a few variables and rarely quantify risk. That leaves many consumers paying more for loans than they should or unable to obtain them at all. That's also bad for borrowers, who need to compete in a highly fragmented industry.</p>\n<p>Upstart Holdings has created a better way to assess risk and improve credit decisions. Its decision engine isn't a manual process that has been digitized. Instead, its machine learning models -- trained on more than 1,000 variables and 10.5 million repayment events -- augment or replace the traditional process. The company is also using ML to reduce the friction borrowers experience in the verification process. In all, it has helped the company grow loan volume by a factor of 20 over the past four years.</p>\n<p>The company mostly counts regional banks and credit unions as its customers. They're adopting the approach as a way to compete with larger financial institutions. The AI-enhanced lending has helped them increase loan volume while decreasing the average interest rate borrowers are paying. That's true for traditionally underserved demographics as well. It's a win-win, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) agrees. Using the agency's criteria, Upstart's AI model approved 27% more loan applications at a 16% lower average interest rate. The company is in year two of a \"no action letter\" from the CFPB -- a stamp of approval.</p>\n<p>Lenders have signed up in droves. In the first quarter of 2021, revenue was up 90%. The company is expecting the top line to grow 157% for the full fiscal year. Some of the growth is attributable to a recent acquisition that gives it access to the $1.3 trillion auto lending industry. Until now, it was focused on personal loans. Upstart is methodically making its way through the consumer lending market using machine learning to benefit both lenders and borrowers. It's in the early innings of a disruption that could go on for decades. The numbers show it's gaining steam.</p>\n<h3>3. The Trade Desk</h3>\n<p>Ever since smartphones became ubiquitous, how people enjoy content has changed. The media landscape has become more digital, leading to audiences spread out across websites, streaming apps, and the like. It's led to advertisers having to work harder to reach the same large audiences they used to. The Trade Desk is helping them work smarter.</p>\n<p>The company's self-service platform lets advertisers create and manage their ad campaigns in a way that optimizes spending across multiple channels and formats. Since the company only works with ad buyers, they are viewed as a trusted enabler -- not a disruptor -- adding value to the industry. On the company's platform, advertisers can use their own data, as well as build their own applications. Of course, The Trade Desk offers its own services, including machine learning models that optimize campaigns. The company has an incredible amount of data, and its models improve with every ad. It's a formula that since 2016 has seen revenue and the stock climb 340% and 2,000%, respectively.</p>\n<p>The stock is currently 33% off of its highs after announcements from <b>Apple</b> and <b>Google</b> about eliminating the use of cookies -- the code on websites that identifies users and helps track them across the internet. Those only account for about 20% of data-driven ads but the Trade Desk has an answer. It created Unified ID (UID) 2.0 as an anonymized alternative and it has a lot of momentum. It made it open source, essentially donating it to the industry.</p>\n<p>Analysts are still asking if consumers will opt in to the system. According to CEO Jeff Green, they will. And he believes the changes will ultimately prove positive for the company. With more than a decade adapting to changes in the industry, he is in the best position to know. For that reason, any sell-off in the stock is likely a buying opportunity for investors with a long-term horizon.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Revolutionary Stocks That Can Make You Rich</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Revolutionary Stocks That Can Make You Rich\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-24 21:11 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/24/3-revolutionary-stocks-that-can-make-you-rich/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is popping up everywhere.

It's in the early innings of a disruption that could go on for decades. The numbers show it's gaining steam.\n3. The Trade Desk\nEver since smartphones became ubiquitous, how people enjoy content has changed. The media landscape has become more digital, leading to audiences spread out across websites, streaming apps, and the like. It's led to advertisers having to work harder to reach the same large audiences they used to. The Trade Desk is helping them work smarter.\nThe company's self-service platform lets advertisers create and manage their ad campaigns in a way that optimizes spending across multiple channels and formats. Since the company only works with ad buyers, they are viewed as a trusted enabler -- not a disruptor -- adding value to the industry. On the company's platform, advertisers can use their own data, as well as build their own applications. Of course, The Trade Desk offers its own services, including machine learning models that optimize campaigns. The company has an incredible amount of data, and its models improve with every ad. It's a formula that since 2016 has seen revenue and the stock climb 340% and 2,000%, respectively.\nThe stock is currently 33% off of its highs after announcements from Apple and Google about eliminating the use of cookies -- the code on websites that identifies users and helps track them across the internet. Those only account for about 20% of data-driven ads but the Trade Desk has an answer. It created Unified ID (UID) 2.0 as an anonymized alternative and it has a lot of momentum. It made it open source, essentially donating it to the industry.\nAnalysts are still asking if consumers will opt in to the system. According to CEO Jeff Green, they will. And he believes the changes will ultimately prove positive for the company. With more than a decade adapting to changes in the industry, he is in the best position to know. For that reason, any sell-off in the stock is likely a buying opportunity for investors with a long-term horizon.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":147,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":167611622,"gmtCreate":1624264683766,"gmtModify":1703831904121,"author":{"id":"3570703751746141","authorId":"3570703751746141","name":"Vonevon","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/5e0e71823191b053150b1ddad58ba428","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3570703751746141","authorIdStr":"3570703751746141"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167611622","repostId":"2144706863","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144706863","kind":"highlight","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Dow Jones publishes the world’s most trusted business news and financial information in a variety of media.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Dow Jones","id":"106","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/150f88aa4d182df19190059f4a365e99"},"pubTimestamp":1624261020,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144706863?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-21 15:37","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Why Uber and Lyft prices are going up -- and how you can get around for less","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144706863","media":"Dow Jones","summary":"It could be months until there are enough drivers to significantly lower prices.\n\nRide-shares have g","content":"<blockquote>\n It could be months until there are enough drivers to significantly lower prices.\n</blockquote>\n<p>Ride-shares have gotten expensive enough in Chicago that Matt Shachat has decided it's time to finally get a driver's license.</p>\n<p>A Bay Area native who has also lived in Boston, Shachat didn't need to drive himself anywhere before.

For the bargain price of just $5, the L will take you from O'Hare International Airport to the Magnificent Mile where shops, restaurants and architectural icons await.\nThat price is a fraction of what you could expect to spend on an Uber or a Lyft between downtown Chicago and the airport -- even back when drivers were plentiful and rides were cheap.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":380,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
