The reality of monopoly and collusion is here and it’s real! When I started my first company it was easy to access customers(30k+) via all types of cheap online marketing. But around 2012, a massive shift started happening towards “content

As a relatively success California (SF) based software entrepreneur, I have to say that new companies would have to be crazy to move to California to start a business. Raise money here, then leave if you know what’s good for you. #protip (T

Doesn’t look like they raised money either. Guessing the founder just made a clean $500m+ at 31 years old.

If you think that capitalism is the problem I suggest you take an economics class. The role of government is to regulate when a product doesn't serve the publics interests

The reality is all this is a result of well done user testing and giving users more of what they respond to. That said, cigarettes were the same thing so I think in the future the solution to "habit forming tech" is simply to crea

What defines someone as 'unselfish?' In my experience, many 'unselfish' people are people that don't take the time to study and understand human nature. Since it's human nature to be 'nice' they defau

With the notch, I'm sure Apple will quickly iterate to make it a positive UX feature not a negative one. Apple has some of the best design talent in the world, so I'm sure they considered several tradeoffs in the design.

Are you guys crazy? This is a great computer, in case you didn't notice it's a tablet AND a laptop AND it runs Android. As a long time Apple guy and mobile web dev, I can tell you this has several development advantages. I'm

They've already achieved their goal of completely shutting down Ubers program.

its nearly impossible to make large non-breaking improvements to an existing production service ... so no, they did the right thing here.

looks cool, interested to see the backend you're using and if it requires lockin. did Kreatank do that logo?

Looks great, however, I still have hopes that something similar to a GraphQL interface for a SQL based database is coming. NoSQL is cool, but ultimately GraphQL/Apollo serves many of the same issues but has the capability of a much ric

This type of feminism and denying gender roles exist is just making people unhappy.

So what did Anthony end up w after all this? I thought I heard he had a $100m bonus from Google at some point. Then he sold Otto later to Uber for $600m+? After all the mess, what's he left with?

Uber has good karma. The writer of this article clearly had no post traction experience. They have an investment thesis that isn't playing out as planned due to regional push back. Economics. However, Kalanick should never have written

Maybe Im missing the point, but After reading that I still don't understand why you couldn't just add a permanent column and continually overwrite it.

Good post. A bit intimidating at first, but this paper has some real insight and is worth a read. What makes this paper so good is that the opinions are primarily data-driven, not intuition driven. Which leads to insights you can trust.

I notice this every year. This year there is a noticeable stutter in the IOS animations. I'll bet the iPhoneX handles this perfectly. Better buy one!

She looks and sounds impressive; however, another part of me wonders if she is just getting this press because she's a woman.

Every leadership group will devolve into something like this if it's members aren't moderated and if there is no clear hierarchy.

Seems that the liability for men to get married is much higher now in the event of a divorce. Also women are less dependant on men and more able to control when and if they have children. Everything else is irrelevant imo.

Regular taxis are in every facet worse than Ubers. So safety etc is just an excuse. In the end, this is about economics. Why send all this money to a US company, when you can keep it in the UK?

Two points of difference. Trump didn't do this, Kushner did. It was Hillary herself using a private email server. Second, Hillary sent thousands of clearly official communications in a clear attempt to operate off the record. With Kush

This article is so naive. It completely negates all the benefits of the open web while presenting problems along with non-sensical "fixes"...

Does no one else notice the collusion to suppress calls for anti-trust action against Amazon, Google and Facebook? These companies have all been actively suppressing any information that would force a review on this issue. They've effe
