What do you define as a static dependency?

I watched one of my (former) best friends, after Rowing practice at a top notch Ivy League school, take Ambien recreationally. It was terrifying to witness. He was someone else entirely, rambling, yelling, looking through me. I got the hell

Or what happened to me, where I was in a vegas cab (before Uber existed), but there was some confusion (perhaps with the next passenger?) and I was charged ~$200. Disputing it, especially ~10 years ago was a nightmare. Uber has a lot of iss

But Uber has what seems to be world class Machine Learning (If that's not the heart of AI, what is?) lab. I am not well versed enough to compare it to Google's, or openAI, but is surely seems like they are at least trying to push

I eyeballed it ;) Thanks for fixing my numbers. Convenience > everything. I love my Netflix. People love their Uber. I am willing to forgive in forget if it still offers me an awesome value proposition. shrugs in capitalism

What an odd, disjoint article. It reads like a drunken rant. The article linked is from 2011. The stock has gone up 23x since then. 23x in less than 7 years and he claims it was a mistake?

Let’s just get the obvious stuff out of the way and acknowledge that multi-billion-dollar companies don’t have fundamental values outside of doing what best benefits their shareholders. There’s no reason to believe Tim Cook lacks his own g

Me as in a working, tax paying, citizen? What if all the working, tax paying citizens left - what would we have then? I do not find your comment or attitude constructive.

San Jose had one of sorts, iirc it was destroyed because it was a hotbed of assaults, drugs, rapes, and pollution (illegal fires and dumping).

So if the purpose of your comment is to point out that the homeless tents are not illegal, you are incorrect. The tents are illegal. But my frustration, as you can see by my comments elsewhere in this thread, are grounded in that a city of

No problem. To your comments below about class warfare, unequal societies and corruption. I think the homeless here are both of the vulnerable, drug addicted, mentally unwell kind that have been abandoned by society, but there is also a who

Agreed. It seems like the city does not care. These people need avenues for help but also consequences for defiling city streets.

Do you live in San Francisco? His narrative is far closer to reality than yours.

by googlemike 8y ago
Yes. We need a two part solution. For the first part, the city should offer all the medical (mental and physical) care they could want, as well as any help they may need to get off the street. For the other part, the city needs to arrest an

Unacceptable in that people shouldn't be living outside, on city streets. Unacceptable that there there is such a lack of mental health care, support, and facilities available to these people. Unacceptable that the city seems to have n

I live in SF. I am very, very tired of the homeless tents everywhere, dirty needles everywhere, and suspicious feces everywhere. The amount of bums living outside is unacceptable - this is perhaps the dirtiest city I have ever been to.

Agreed. My point was merely that this is a great move from the consumer perspective, one that I doubt other companies will follow.

I doubt lyft will follow suit. They have the same rate of incidents on their service with the ability to defend themselves as well (less screening, no human support #s, less emergency support systems than Uber).

by googlemike 8y ago
What does the ride hailing service and infrastructure (platform?) have to do with the drivers beyond screening them to the best of their ability? It's like saying Mcdonalds, the post office, or any large employer should be held account
