Conflating WeWork, Uber, and SaaS businesses is inaccurate. With a SaaS business - most of which are b2b - there are tremendous costs to switching providers and going without is typically not an option. For example, if company uses Salesfor

We'd have to define success. The adoption rate for washer/dryer's is what a VC would want to see and solar panels are nowhere near that.

One data point: in NYC, wash and fold laundry service costs me ~$15 every 2 weeks. It would take 5 years (133 loads) for the robot to break-even and that's not counting soap or the time-value of money. Granted my clothes are relatively

We use it but it can cause complications with other tools that expect compiled JavaScript such as testing and code coverage. They're solveable but the choice isn't free.

You may be right about the tax issues. My criticism was of his attempt to hang all of society's ills on Uber/Lyft/etc... It's inaccurate at best.
