I don't have kids, but friends who do have strollers where the seat is a removable car seat. Would Ubering with something like this work?

This is a fair point. Uber has yet to ship any hardware, and really any software aside from an app that is a couple steps above "Uber for X" that are whipped out in a weekend. I know they gobbled up a bunch of researchers, but moo

I'm interested to see where all the major players end up in 5yrs: • Tesla bootstrapping a ride service on the backs of buyers • Waymo directly rolling their own fleet • Uber trying to get a self-driving fleet up, burning mountains of m

I would be pretty damn surprised if they got rid of wired charging completely... unless they get near-field charging really good , where my phone doesn't need to be in contact with the charger. Otherwise that makes external batteries

I do? I'm a professional user and I used a MBA for years bc I travel a lot. I had a VM, Sketch, Illustrator, and lots of other power hungry tools running. Last year I switched to a MacBook bc I couldn't handle the shitty MBA scree

I'm really curious to see what comes of this, and what pg thinks. My prediction is that Matt's post will pass without reply.

If I'm not a professional user I don't know what is - I spend a double digit percentage of my life on a laptop (wow that's depressing), running multiple VMs, Terminal, Sketch, Sublime Text, and around 15+ other apps all the t

Concur bought Tripit, which is now in the middle of a bit of a drawn out redesign. They didn't destroy that lovely product, so I have hopes!

I think a remote, distributed company is by far the best option. There are drawbacks, but the increased size of the labor pool, opportunity to hire talented folks with lower salary requirements, lower overhead costs, and (arguably) higher p

I have spent the last 7-8 years traveling regularly. The past 5 years I've been traveling more than I have been at home, especially the last 2. I am not paid an exporbitant salary, although working remote helps with travel. My parents

I can think of a few politicians in history with whom there is no reason that excuses supporting them - for me, Trump is on that list.

I had no idea about Thiel's politics. Is it acceptable to judge someone's character based on their political beliefs?

I work on a remote team and I am only accountable for my output. I end up working 15-25hrs a week. Sometimes more if something is on fire. I usually work 7 days a week, but invariably a couple days a week I only work an hour, checking email

Of course nobody with half a heart harbors any animosity towards a person who who for whatever reason is homeless and just wants to eat and live their life. It's the combination of the tragedy that so many live on the streets and the c

It is. This incident was a few years ago. Last time I was in the city, a few months ago I was walking down a long set of stairs. A homeless guy was walking up. As he passed me he held eye contact and said something like "You fucking bi

He had a TV or radio or something slung in his right arm. I was facing 45 degrees away from him. As he got within 2 arm lengths away from me he transferred the object to his left arm, punched me in the face with his right. He barely broke s

I read a few years ago that Tripadvisor (IIRC) was launching in Japan. They basically took the US version of the site and translated it. In testing, Japanese users had a high bounce rate and distrusted the site because it lacked information
