Thanks to USA funding them through outsourcing low wage jobs and commerce. Take a Google.

This wasn't hacked. It was legally obtained as it was left and became business property after repeated attempts of returning the machine. Jack's response came much after the censorship actions were taken. You have to analyze with

The realities of censorship are and historically have been large net losses. That was one of the large premises of the founding of the United States, among many other ideals. So in the interest humanity and historical evidence, censorship i

I did this with Netflix....8 years ago. I wrote a cross-platform desktop app that named DistanceFlix for my wife and I while we were long distance.

Hey what's the benefit of this vs MyFitnessPal? I use MFP very often.

I'm not convinced. Show me at least three examples where this works in an existing government jobs that matches the same criteria-- extreme risk, unpredictable situations, low pay, low appreciation. Perhaps you could work as a police o

Love is about grace, acceptance, and patience. It’s about serving the other person. It’s about forming a team where each other’s weaknesses are the other’s strengths. The author seems like a depressed nihilist. The “everyone will disappoint

You can be smart and be irrational. You can be dumb and be irrational. So it’s sort of a moot point.

SuperShuttle was bleeding money from subsidizing fares to compete with ride sharing and shrunk 30% YoY for 3 years straight. The SuperShuttle that you see is now just a brand facade and the original business is on a feeding tube.

Because if you don't take trips then you don't make any money. They felt entitled and refused to adapt when the market demanded it. That's irrational.

The drivers are franchisees so they have huge interest in keeping the company going, otherwise they wouldn't get any trips. It was their problem. They just didn't want to change.

by kyle_martin1 6y ago
No. It isn’t more nuanced than that. SuperShuttle couldn’t make changes because the drivers irrationally refused to work more for the same pay, even though they knew the company was failing. It really is that simple.

Each van is a separate business franchise. The franchise owner, owned the van and could hire drivers as employees under their franchise. It was more profitable for everybody with this way.

We tried. The drivers revolted when we changed fares because they didn’t want things to change. Remember humans are irrational beings. Most were longtime drivers and knew historical fare. We just couldn’t get them to change their mindset.

I worked for SuperShuttle developing their driver mobile app. I can tell you for a fact that a big reason SuperShuttle failed is because the drivers were independent. They would consistently reject low cost trips and wait it out until they

Agreed. Vox isn't in the news business, they're in the selling ads through confirmation bias business.

I can see you're passionate about this and that's a great trait to have as an entrepreneur. I'd invite you to consider that most of life isn't linear. It's full of twists and detours but if you keep your vector poin

Tyler, I would get a job that to provide yourself a safety net such that you can continue your passions. It doesn't have to be all or nothing!

This is called being comfortable with being lazy. You're allowed to do this but you should also be comfortable with the consequences too.

This is suspicious. So much for free-speech and open debate. Just let people hear both sides and make up their own minds.

You seem to have a healthy relationship with FB. Issue is...FB is actively optimizing the experience to achieve an unhealthy relationship that is effectively an addiction. That’s the evil part.

What do you expect out of a woke monopoly? If there were an alternative that valued free-speech I’d ditch YouTube.

I’m sorry you feel that way. There’s a church for everybody. I attend church online a lot mainly because it’s better for my schedule, the lessons are impactful and I’m completely comfortable in my own home.

I like the idea but I also think this is trying to replace something that already exists: churches.
