I think Uber verifies driver quality/qualifications and vehicle roadworthy-ness?
And there are tons of government systems you need to get data from. And some counties require in-person visit to obtain court records. And you need those records to make valid assessments.

I'm not looking for a job, but happy to mentor you for, especially if you are newly promoted dev -> people manager.
I have 17+ years of xp, worked on literally everything: backend/frontend/design/management/infra and everybody: startups/enterprise/bigtech/army.
I'm also stricken by the superficiality of analysis like "oh it's just probabilities" from so many devs; might as well say "it's magnets".
You can call it an implementation detail but it's like both a wheel and a wing can take your over some distance but the difference between them is staggering. Wheel will never send you flying (normally)

1. Sonnet 3.7 is a mid-level web developer at least
2. DeepResearch is about as good an analyst as an MBA from a school ranked 50+ nationally. Not lower than that. EY, not McKinsey
3. Grok 3/GPT-4.5 are good enough as $0.05/word article writers
Its not replacing the A-players but its good enough to replace B players and definitely better than C and D players
(Based on my everyday experience with Sonet and Cursor)
How will that prevent further agression? There are many US companies that still operate in Russia and even on Russian occupied teritories?
> which will only bring Russia closer to countries like China and a much faster takeover of Taiwan
Russia has nothing to give to China in their Taiwan takeover anymore. What the whole situation does it gives China a clear signal that US doesn't give a fuck about allies and previous promises. They make a move tommorow and that administration will even praise each other for giving up Taiwan because "it's the same nation" and "look we prevented ww3"
> There needs to be more strategic ways of dealing with Russia.
Yes, they are. Russia made it clear that it has no ways for further escalation, had severe problems with its army (DPRK troops and ammo, donkeys and horses on the frontline) and economy (interest rate is 20%+). Tighten sanctions, provide more aid to Ukraine (even in the way of loan), etc. It's not a fast answer though. And requires to have some balls.
