It might well be, but we can't be sure, because just like you said that info is not available in an easily comparable form. It's gonna be interesting to see the growth of new airlines now that COVID is a thing. Low prices seem to

Hey, sorry for the situation with your son and how IQ tests failed us here, but could we stray away from clear anecdotes on HN comments?

Ehh they have the food delivery potential, and cahs reserves to survive this. What won't survive though is Lyft, leaving a tasty market for Uber to eat up in 2021.

Should we think about making a suggestion for downvotes without comments not count? Wonder what would be the repercussions of that.

Is this facetious? 3000 extra per month does not seem crazy to you? Wow.

Yes you are right. Dont forget the time component either, when the profits become visible, there will be (already is) a multitude of companies based on cheaper regions that will compete with a nearly similar product but cheaper.

I don't think what you said is really defensible. Yes they might not be hurting _as much_ if they had majority of their operations based elsewhere. But I don't thi n you can say they wouldn't be hurting for cash at all. Also,

9600 per month for an internship? Is that pure cash? Jesus Christ no wonder new companies are basing their development somewhere else.

Subscribers aren't really a merit on YT anymore. It's all about AVG views on high cadence content.

You do realize that % based cuts are already progressive right?

I dont think there is data to back this up, even though it sounds nice in theory. Actually seems like the evidence is against it. Countries with large social security nets (e.g. more people affording to take risks) are not even close to cre

You're missing that nearly any purchase of business space will also be funded by debt etc.

I think its more related to "commoditizing" than just aggregating. E.g. if you can commoditize the demand size to a single standard unit (and then have demand to back it up) that's miles stronger than commoditizing the supply

This is what people are conditioned to nowadays, 3 dollars is too much for something that is actually beneficial.

Yes, perhaps. That's what California is attempting. Unfortunately social security in US is national, so you can't operate a closed system. E.g. only Danish people can get Danish social security

Uber has lobbied for gig worker healthcare and social benefits in Europe. I think it's a perfect example.

This is only true for their first 5 years. The prices you pay now in US are absurdly profitable for Uber

Did you read your own link? >Four in 10 adults, if faced with an unexpected expense of $400, would either not be able to cover it or would cover it by selling something or bor- rowing money. So exactly like I said, 40% don't have li

I think trying to put all of Europe into one EU in your argument is already where it breaks down. Europeans don't live in a cohesive society. Italians, Germans, Swedes live in a cohesive society in their small california-sized countrie

This is a great comment, and hopefully I could add some real life example around this, esp with 1) and 2). Uber did this in Europe. Uber pushed, fought and introduced gig-economy employment laws in every country it has operated in EU, speci

Yeah, I think we should be more careful with using the word "asymptomatic" as that is quite different from "presymptomatic". AFAIK COVID seems to have some case where people are purely "asymptomatic", but with

1) source on that? AFAIK the number just means how much americans have in liquid cash. 2) Why would Tracel Insurance not cover pandemics? Mine did and will continue to cover it. 3) What's your logic with that the delay? This is over 5M

How does this fair with something like Cluvio?

Well that's not exactly how it works. Do you want to discuss this more in depth?

I think again you are misunderstanding some severe things. Daily cases are flatlining now yes, but what happens if we open things up again? Why do you think we won't go down an expontential growth track just like before the lockdown? Y

Sweden didnt lock down and as a result has around TEN TIMES more deaths than its neighbours, and the death toll is raising by hundreds per day, when its hovering around 10 with Finland and Norway. I don't think you want to give Sweden
