Russia. (Forced Yandex merger at unfavorable terms)

  Why are the terms unfavorable? Financially the terms look very favorable in one of politically toughest marker outside US.

  It looks like Uber maybe pulling out of India as well: https://www.recode.net/2017/7/14/15964808/uber-global-domination-yandex-didi https://www.recode.net/2017/7/14/15964808/uber-global-domina...

    Ugh. That sucks. As much distaste I have for Uber, Ola knocks it out of the park in creepiness.

    That article has zero evidence of this. They are not leaving India.

    That article is pure speculation. There is no evidence whatsoever presented to support that

  toomuchtodo is a Tesla investor, so pay no attention to the naysaying as it's motivated by conflict of interest.

      Assuming that were true, what you've just done is doxxed an HN user, which is against site guidelines. The difference between what I did and what you did, is that my comment is based on your comment on Hacker News where you said you were a Tesla investor (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354703), whereas I've never made mention of why I'm supportive of Uber. You're right, I am, but I've never said why. I'm also supportive of Tesla too, for whatever that is worth. If you want to say someone is supportive of a company based on past previous comments and submissions on Hacker News, that's fine but doxxing someone based on content not on Hacker News is not kosher.

        I've identified your employer who you shill for, not your personal details. I haven't doxxed you, and I expect better from someone who considers themselves a professional.

        Links to comments where I've shilled for them? I generally try to refrain on commenting on Uber except occasionally to add simple factual corrections, such as the one about Salle Yoo being promoted to CLO. What I am happy to comment on however is disclosing which of the commenters critical of Uber are critical because they have an undisclosed conflict of interest, such as yourself.

        I am critical of Uber because they are a terrible company made up of apathetic investors and employees; if I were to sell all of my Tesla shares today, I would still do everything in my power to burn Uber to the ground and leave nothing but ash.
