Better Rideshare: Airport Ubers lined up, and you can get into ANY car, driver scans your QR code, and go. Immediately.
No 10-20 minute delay. No clog to match riders to cars.
This is how Taxi's work, but they are more expensive and no universal app. This is how Waymo could work, but they are not at most airports yet. A new competitor might do well with this trick: "AirRide"?
Many people have opted for rideshare-- lets have it work better. Other ideas?

Once upon a time when work was using its own email servers, I had to periodically archive my email accounts. I would create a new gmail account and just throw it up on there so the emails were still searchable in my mail client if the account was included…
Now I have a bunch of gmail accounts that have tens of thousands of emails form twenty years ago.
This is dumb... especially with storage the way it is these days.
So now I'm logging into those accounts, downloading the emails and any other Google data, and deleting the accounts from Google.
