No this doesn't happen. Some people may think that Uber charges the rider a different rate than the driver receives but it isn't the case. A driver I had was sure this happened and asked me that on a fairly expensive trip (I think

Thank you for this. I would have naively accepted the article. Family members suffer from AD so this is particularly interesting for me. How can they pervert the nature of the findings so drastically?

iTunes is the single worst piece of software I'm still forced to use. I would pay $100 for a better piece of software but Apple has their walled "garden". And they have billions but can't hire PMs and engineers that can

It's not a scam. Iirc when the driver cancels they have the option of not charging the customer, or charging the customer. It was the driver who decided to charge the customer. But when the driver cancels the ride it affects their metr

After 18 months in jail, can't the accused legitimately say that he forgot his password? I don't know if I would remember a relatively complex password if I were stuck in s jail cell for 18 months with no computer or ability to t

They will reduce energy usage by 10% and then raise prices because they aren't making enough money. It's happened in Canada with Ontario hydro, and in California with water.

Why did you bounce through a series of startups?

This is bullshit. There is unlimited miles and they can return the car whenever they want. There's nothing predatory about it. I've had Uber drivers who bemoan the fact that they bought their own car instead of getting the lease.

This is a ridiculous statement. Would you prefer I don't announce myself as an Uber employee when talking about Uber?

Rooting out assholes in interviews is even harder and less reliable than evaluating programmers with whiteboard interviews. The SVP from Google passed an extensive due diligence check, and some of the high performer assholes that got fired

I'm being contacted around 3 times a day for the last couple of weeks from a laundry list of companies so I don't think the article is true. Not all orgs at uber have/had a bad culture and the engineering teams are fantastic.

As an Uber employee, yes we are going through a rough patch and we are doing a lot of bloodletting right now internally, but as a company I think we will emerge much better and much more impassioned. If you saw the numbers we see, you would

If it's a mess then as a consumer they're doing a great job hiding it from me. I have 20 devices connected to my wifi and everything is running particularly smoothly. I did get frustrated at my 802.11n 4 years ago and dropped $250

That's your prerogative. I choose to believe this was a misunderstanding on the part of Susan. Of course, if there is further evidence then I would love to hear it and make a new decision then.

Because she is unfortunately incorrect. Just because I support her doesn't mean I can't be factually objective. It sounds like some sort of miscommunication. Here is the official statement from Uber: "The law firm Perkins Coi

Uber employee here. I don't believe Uber would be stupid enough to investigate or disparage Susan. She is and should be untouchable. In my opinion Uber should offer her a full apology, their thanks, and "make it right" finan

It's this type of thinking that plays right into the hands of a Trump. His message is "America First" and it obviously resonated with enough people.

As an Uber employee, I'm morbidly curious as to how HN will spin this into something negative. :) For the record, I'm super proud of working at Uber because those on the outside never see the things we do for our drivers. This is

Not the point. OP (it could be a woman) said that it takes weeks to unbind when in fact the half life is 74 mins.

No it's within hours. A simple google search will show you that.

Very cool. But am I mistaken that they didn't attempt to go through a 4-way stop with massive pedestrians, like in PacHeights or Marina? I would be curious to see how they fared with the obnoxious drivers skipping their turn as well a

Tragic. My friend in Canada says 80% of medical spending is in the last 20% of the lives of Canadians. I read a similar story a few years ago,probably from HN, about a woman whose husband suffered a severe stroke. While he was in the hospit

This seems like propaganda but I can't figure out if it's US propaganda or ISIS propaganda.

This is unadulterated bullshit. The idea that we are supposed to teach each other is science fiction that you just made up. We need smart people in society so that we can advance. They are the leaders that will help move the needle. If we b

Uber employee here, and I can tell you that almost everyone I know loves working here. I apologize for the behavior of the random douchebag employee you encountered, I would hope most of us wouldn't act like that.
