My god, don't tell me they are still doing this? The incompetence knows no bounds. Enough time to make their own chat app but no one around to dig up Dijkstra.
- giomasce 6y agoI suppose that's not just incompetence. I mean, it happens to be incompetent when incompetence lets you pay your workers less...
- that_guy_iain 6y agoIf that sort of error lasted more than a few days I doubt any court would believe it's a mistake. Uber has how many hundreds of engineers? And they can't figure out how to do routes? Last time I was in an Uber the driver was forced to take a specific route if I remember correct (it's been years. I hate Uber so much)
- pmiller2 6y agoEh, at the geographic scale Uber operates at, it's a smidge more complicated than just Dijkstra's algorithm. Not much, conceptually, but there are potential implementation issues that matter.
