I have to vote this down for the tone. I have to laugh at your attempts to call Uber's position entirely luck-based. But there's not "LOL" button like on buzzfeed, so I replied to let you know.

Fine I removed the luck statement! You obviously didnt get robbed thousands of dollars and have to deal with it for weeks.

Tone? Tone? Considering what Uber actually did, the tone is apt. I hope this industry works out. But I am not cheering for Uber to win.

  If that is warranted - on HN - for Uber's behavior, then every single thread about what the NSA / US Govt has done the last decade, should be filled with nothing but profanity and insults directed at those in power. There's an obvious reason why comments like that are not preferred here: it adds absolutely nothing of value to the discussion, to call the Uber execs smug douchebags.

    Yes, there is a point to my tone and negativity. It does not bother you how they have no care for anyone including their customers? It would bother the hell out of you after Uber allowed your bank account to be robbed 1,000 dollars! Again, it's been going on for months and they have not offered any change to their service to show they give a rats ass about their customers. All the while blaming it on their users and all the while not allowing their users to easily delete their own accounts and or payment method ..that can only be done by emailing and begging support. My tone is just and prompted by their lack of care for anyone but themselves and the actions Sarah Lacy speaks of feel very similar to how Uber took me for a ride I didn't ask for (never used the service .. signed up once)!

      I'm sure you have a point to your tone, insults and negativity. That does not mean it's appropriate for Hacker News. That's the critical point you're missing. If your approach to discussion were widely followed here, this site would become a wasteland of anger and venting. Even if I dislike Uber, what I'm not going to do is fill up Hacker News threads with statements about how their execs are scumbags, con-artists, or douchebags. Why not? Because it's inappropriate here.

Though where do you go to school to make the next Google, Facebook, Uber, etc .... How much of that is hard work and luck? 50/50? How many of us are here want to do something similar ...the odds are not feasible neither is winning the lottery.
