Track of the Day: First Time (Gryffin Remix) – Kygo

By 20-somethinglife | July 28, 2017

Kygo’s sound has undoubtedly moved from tropical house to a mainstream pop sound that has tropical house influences. He’s paired up with bigger names on original tracks recently, like Selena Gomez, and here with Ellie Goulding, which does make sense why those tracks would have more of a mainstream sound as that’s what their fans expect to hear.

Uber Drivers Can Now Accept Tips – Here’s Why That’s Bad

By 20-somethinglife | July 18, 2017

First, I want to start by saying that this blog is not saying that Uber drivers are overpaid and shouldn’t get tips. Actually the opposite. Uber itself admitted that it underpaid New York City drivers for almost three years back in May. While this may have been accidental, it still shows that they are trying to pay their drivers as little as possible in order to get by. And don’t get me wrong, that makes sense as they are a private company in capitalist America that has yet to be net income positive. They are well within their rights to try to keep costs low in order to get into the black.

The issue that comes into play now that drivers can accept tips is that it opens the door for Uber to pay their drivers even less and also makes the overall seamless Uber experience, well, not as seamless. I’ll let Adam explain where tipping in the US started, why it exists today, and why it is bad (note that his video is mostly focused on restaurants but the concepts still apply to taxi and ride sharing services):

Track of the Day: Shape of You (Veck Remix) – Ed Sheeran

Shape of You (Veck Remix) – Ed Sheeran

While the original “Shape of You” is borderline overplayed at this point, Veck’s remix of the track adds new life and energy to it in a huge way. Bringing in a summertime trop house vibe, Veck does an incredible job of complementing the vocals with synths that push it forward, without detracting from Ed Sheeran’s pipes. A smooth base line with an excellent drum rhythm earns this remix a spot on your poolside mix. Expect big things from Veck in the future.
