Do you have any evidence to support that 'processed' food is worse than the alternative?

Taleb makes the classic mistake of an intellectual. Misapplying his field of expertise into another.

Regulations imposed to protect incumbents. Evidence on the insurance fees? Evidence on licenses? Evidence on price? Anecdotally in my city they're 300% cheaper than taxi's. Evidence on paying drivers 'badly'? Investing

I don't believe so. When someone says 'shifting risk to x and profit to management' they clearly are not suggesting what you're suggesting. No where do I see a general statement at all. You cannot be exempt from providin

Again, do you have evidence for your claims? I have no way of knowing if that's true.

Musk has said Tesla didn't need the government money, it was just used as a cash buffer (which of course was repaid early with interest). As for SpaceX, they've been profitable for 7+ years and NASA is a client so not sure. As for

Yep. Travis (CEO) had already said, if a particular space relates to Uber's core competency than chances are they'll do it. I don't think they'll do air travel in this sense.

Do you have any conclusive evidence that the laws 'protected' both sides in a superior manner than Uber does? Edit: If you'd like to down vote fine, but please also provide evidence for/against their/my claims. To b

I don't agree with all of his/her points, but if s/he saw nothing positive in the posts, why say anything positive? I'd much prefer an unaltered view.

I've also been asking exactly why it's a 'winner take all market' and have yet to receive a definitive answer. I'd like there to be a #2 even #3. Although I think Uber might be akin to Google in terms of market shar

May seem like that now, but you were once labeled a 'crazy conspiracy theorist' for even suggesting that governments have secret spying agencies.

Disappointing. Really wanted more choice and competition in the areas where Uber is the only 'on demand' transportation service.

I did not tell anyone what to do. I recommended a suggestion. I do not find 'hahaha fuck off' to be a good instigation of productive conversation.

I'd recommend you start your post in a more serious manner, if you'd like it to gain serious readership.

Agree on Seattle. I think you can't 'create' a SV. It happens bottom up as opposed to top down. For example, what if Leland Stanford Jr didn't die prematurely at age 15 in 1884 -- and his parents didn't build a Univ
