He's pretty lucky that he was able to just focus on product and not really worry about the actual business much. Many builders just build in obscurity and the world never knows what they made. I'm jealous.

I thought the bubble was going to 'burst' in 2012. I also thought the Vancouver RE market was going to burst 10 years ago too in 2007. And it still hasn't burst, it just flatlined and then kept on going. Bubble prediction i

As a Canadian, the career benefit is zilch, because most of Canada's software career opportunities pale in comparison to the USA (pay is half or less, house prices are pretty close in price in employment centers!) . And in the USA, no

Yanking large popular apps is a two way street for a platform. They hurt themselves, possibly even more if they do it enough. A good amount of people would stop using / buying iphones if their device stopped using facebook, uber, or s

You don't think medallion taxi drivers are not contractors also? Ask you next taxi driver how much he is paying to rent his taxi and how it all works. Maybe he'll be an employee, but more likely he will be paying a flat fee of $

You can get other offers that will match the expected value at other companies, especially as an executive. You use it as a negotiation tactic. "Can you beat what I got at Uber?"

If they want a family they don't live right beside work in the middle of a busy and dirty city. They move out to the suburban south bay (which has more tech jobs) or east bay, have 30m-1hr commutes and are dual income families. TBH th

How do you fraudulently overcharge in a grocery? They see the price on the shelf, and I'm guessing it wasn't something as simple as it scanning in as a higher price. If they don't like the price they can not buy it.

The fact the gig economy job exists does not take away from the high paying job. If it didn't exist, these people would not be working or working at their local retail/restaurant store instead. The social problems of the low-inco
