  • It’s probably due to the saturation of how many male drivers Lyft has. It reports that only 23% are female. While it doesn’t say how many non-binary drivers there are, I doubt they make up more than a few percent. That puts men at ~75% driver share. So the chance of a a female rider, which according to Lyft are about half of their riders, being paired with is vastly smaller than a male rider getting a man.

    0.5*0.75=0.375 chance for a man to get a male driver.

    0.5*0.23=0.115 chance for a women to get a female driver.

    While yes, you can abuse the system, you have to make a more conscious effort about being a “slimeball”. This isn’t necessarily a feature to prevent SH and SA, but more to make drivers and riders more comfortable.

    Oh, and about the amount of code: it would be less code, as you do not need to filter and can just start a match-search.

    It’s a joke about the bat being upside down.

    Duckling got themselves a helium balloon and a, probaly air filled, balloon for their bat friend. As balloons from our perspective always go up, it needs to go down for the bat to be in the perspective.

    It’s a cute gesture and, imo, highlights inclusion by accommodation
