   Naked Capitalism made a good argument that Uber cannot experience economies of scale with its costs the way Amazon could when it scaled. Why? Because Amazon's fixed costs were... well.. fixed. Unlike Amazon, Uber faces massive variab

   According to Uber, the engineer who was the target of the lawsuit developed a self-driving motorcycle way before he ever worked at Google. So while Google/Waymo probably have a case, it's not black and white. A lot of techniques
