People don't understand how miserable getting a cab in SF was prior to Uber. It speaks to the original commenter's point that it really was, and still is, providing an exceptional service compared to what existed previously.

> If San Francisco residents really believed that sea levels were rising, they’d have all sold their homes by now. What an absurd argument. Is it possible instead that people are capable of believing that sea levels are rising and the

I'd love to force disclaimers on bitcoin ownership prior to commenters trying to convince us how decentralized currency will change the world and hit $1M eventually. It's called talking your book, which isn't illegal, but wil

Tim Ferris talking about charlatans ruining Silicon Valley in search of fame and fortune is extraordinarily ironic.

This is a hilarious question, only because it's normally asked in the context of a startup. Apple could hire a team of people to work on literally anything.

There's already been lots written about this, but it's astounding how much these SoftBank funds will effect the startup ecosystem for years to come. After years of VC's talking about how too much money is floating around crea

That deafening silence is hopefully encouraging you to reflect on why you decided to write this response.

Winning what precisely? Making early speculators wealthy beyond their wildest dreams, causing extreme FOMO, while in no way effecting world policy? I’ll pass on that train wreck.

This sounds rational until you realize this is the only reason the price continues to rise.

What a silly argument, this is the top one percentile in net worth and income. You're confusing the behavior of billionaires with what rich actually means.

+1 I think people don't recognize how "little" money you need to replicate a big salary. 14M at 3% is $420k/yr. And as long as you don't spend every last dollar, that number keeps going up...forever. Build whatever

VC's like their investments nearby and very few people would choose to live in those cities, in particular childless engineers. It's the same reason Twitter, even though they threatened to move their office from SF to Brisbane sev

You answered your own question. There’s no need to switch, because ruby is fast enough (and requires no additional training to continue using it).

If anyone was left that wanted to work with Jonathan Teo and Binary, this email certainly took care of that. What makes this particularly astounding is he knew it would be leaked, so he wrote this nonsense knowing full-well the public would

The author is happier in this new relationship and it has absolutely nothing to do with the contract. Her last boyfriend didn't respect her, and the new one does. The end.

Travis is a piece of shit, but you seem confused about how much value Uber has provided the world. Even his most ardent critics are willing to admit that. Have you ever spoken to an African American what it's like to hail a cab? Read t

Uber isn't built on a tower of fraud like Theranos, it's a behemoth that changed how transportation works. Travis is going to be a billionaire many times over when the stock is liquid.

> Boards don't operate on one-man-one-vote... Of course they do. _delirium already said it, but it bears repeating since so many are confused.

If Camp, Graves, Gurley, Wei, al-Rumayyan, and Huffington all wanted Travis gone, explain the mechanism he can stop that for me please.

Founder CEO's do not resign, they are fired. The article skips over the board entirely, but Travis must have been blindsided by his co-founder Garret Camp and early CEO Ryan Graves for this to have transpired. The board likely threaten

I absolutely hate standing in line for anything, but I waited for Sushi Dai. It's a fun cultural experience when you compare it to the throngs of folks waiting for a random sunday brunch in SF or NYC, and the omakase menu was utterly o

Soaring is charitable, because it's still under the IPO price, but Wall St is happy the board fired the founding CEO and CTO.

I edited that line out, because it was superfluous. It's clear why these individuals were hired, in addition to being great at their job.

You're concerned about controversy, because the origin is clearly sexist. Men running businesses wanted attractive women welcoming visitors (ie. other men) and helping them with tasks around the office. The continuing problem is this h
