Yes this is exactly what early stage and seed investors are doing. They know the idea will still live, but they trust the team to figure out what to do. I know several people on both sides of this equation.

I think you're approaching it from the completely wrong way. We are in the time of revolution for video calls and interactive spaces. In times of revolution quick adoption is key. Funny/viral things with no participation barrier a

You should research this more. Having even a possibility for voting to amend a law is not the normal. Usually proposition can't be overturned at all.

by Jommi 6y ago
Yes, and amending by popular vote is the norm. What exactly is the issue here again?

by Jommi 6y ago
??? Are you just ignoring everything we previously discussed? Having a way to directly amend the law via some majority is completely optional. There is no need to ever include that in the ballot proposition. Why are you choosing to complete

From the same article: >No surprise, many ballot measures do not say otherwise. Compared to that default, Prop. 22’s high bar for amendments actually gives the Legislature more influence than the norm. - >If Prop 22 is going to be ame

AB5 should definitely not be regarded as the "status quo" at any point. It was a terrible terrible, which was evidenced by the 50+ amendments it has since received. Full-time or not has no distinction in this argument. You are nit

We are not talking about stability of AB5, but rather the situation before it. It was trivial for most other industries to get excemptions to AB5 (there are tens, if not close to 100 excemptions now). So what really changed with prop22 coma

You realize many laws don't allow any legislative input at all right? By default, a law enacted by ballot measure can only be changed by another law enacted by ballot measure. You can go learn something about it from here: https:&#x2F

How on earth can you say prop22 has provided any stability, when we are literally discussing an article bashing it, and with there being multiple ways of it being still repealed? Explain yourself.

Not surprising. I can imagine there are efficiency gains to be made by using Doordash software and infrastructure, not to mention potential pickup and dropoff route optimization. Very weirded out tho on why the article has a prop22 angle. A

Untrue. 1) This has always been allowed, but AB5 made it illegal. Then a shitton of industries got granted exceptions to it, and ride-hailing + food-delivery did the same. 2) Prop22 can be be amended only by a seven-eighths vote of the Leg

Building credit is not a thing in most european countries.

But the Uber's side is right - they are not only deliverying but providing other stuff like discovery.

Yeah this is what I thought the US would do, as its a country where individual decision making feels like its prided above all else. I was absolutely surprised about this joke-authoritarian style regulations that CA and the counties tried t

I think it can be approximated. And that's better than nothing. Would you agree?

What other way would you suggest companies could link shareholder incentives and ethics? Hitting ESG metrics / recieving ESG credentials is a way for companies to benefit from doing the right thing.

Its not a generalization. This is what suburb sprawl means: https://www.treehugger.com/understanding-suburban-sprawl-409... The no.1 factor is single-use zoning. This means people live in a certain zone, and commerce happen

We are not talking about your lifestyle. We are discussing effect of urban sprawl on the population and on the world. I was just so surprised that somebody on this forum could be able to miss the point so entirely, and be so ready to fight

Yes, definitely. Unfortunately this all is usually buried behind heaps and heaps of people trying to sell you something that won't work (either because it just doesn't work for you or because it's a scam! Or maybe both!)

If you see this list only as "spend money" I think it's the perfect article for you. The overarching point of the author is that most of his target audience (and those reading HN) are used to being thrifty and not spend money

Or they suddenly realized that the immediate need for the product tipped over the scale for a purchasing decision that normally would have waited X amount of time. It's not like it's an item bought for no reason at all. (Not to me

I don't understand how you can be so oblivious, but maybe you really just don't get it. Let me spell it out for you: Suburbia means that every trip out of the house will require a car. This is a not a living style that we can affo

You're lucky if you are able to live and work in SM or DTLA. Majority of people do not.

LA has a decent bus system? Are you serious? Have you ever lived in LA, and lived in a european city? LA has no unified bus system. It has multiple ones and its super confusing. Each bus makes a stop nearly every minute, making every ride i

This is for France as a whole, not Paris. Ofc the figures will be majority car when you take a whole country into account instead of a city/metro area.
