Are you kidding? Having spent less. Have you not been paying attention to Uber? They've been leaking funds like a sieve. Settlements, advertising, more employees, generally more aggressive and expensive tactics.

And when the unsustainable "subsidized growth" period ends, Lyft will be the new word on the street. It's not exactly a high barrier to entry to hear about and install a new app in this day and age. If your reasoning is entir

Yeah, it sounds like nearly a nearly textbook definition of one of the problems capitalism (and a "free market" with low barriers to entry) are supposed to solve. You don't challenge someone's control of their company, y

Obviously it's big enough for both taxis and (whatever splitting rides long-distance is called, if not also ridesharing) to have continued to exist, but in general I agree with you. Uber's ubiquitousness in this day and age has le

That 'growth' has included subsidizing rides, so their userbase once the 'growth' levels off will look radically different - likely diminished - from now. Obviously in larger cities the taxi model can and does thrive, bu

Except as twb points out, the Uber board can't oust him. And somehow I feel like a Jobsian journey of self-discovery is outside the reach of someone whose problems aren't coming from a perfectionist streak but rather a disdain for

I dunno, I'm inclined to agree with your first impulse - after all, the assumption of "well it's been a while, surely they've gotten their shit together by now?" would be the reason one would think they'd be on

Then putting it under a brand that for so long has been associated with (and pushed on, and designed for) internal enterprise documents or other sensitive/personal docs might not've been the best move? I don't know that there

If your UX involves introspecting content to determine whether it is being misfiled, you're already doing something wrong. Such gimmicks work as 'syntactic sugar' (think google's "did you forget an attachment"

Not just the people, but the structure. You can't just change the head and assume the body will change itself. If aspects of design and execution stay the same, you're not magically going to build better QA or better-thought-throu

I just use ublock's advanced mode to block scripts. Nicer than having a separate extension to do it (on Safari and like to keep it light) and is more or less a permafix. If (when) it breaks the layout I just click that built-in reader

Giving users a direct financial incentive to game your system would probably turn your platform into a 'low-effort but popular' content mill in short order. (Imagine what would happen if people could withdraw reddit gold to cash.)
