Interesting to compare this to the recent LinkedIn case that favored web scrapers. Similar techniques, only difference is Uber's approach likely had a material impact on Lyft's service and cost. I think I'm okay with this tra

Change management at established organizations is hard. When franchises are involved I'm sure it's exponentially harder. With most things, HN overestimates the ability of most organizations to overcome inertia. FB, AMZN, GOOG, etc
