Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    Was Uber ever cheaper than a cab?

    Yes, at the beginning I could get an Uber black for under taxi rates. Nowadays I have no idea because Uber essentially ran the taxi companies out of business.
