He was a very nice person who I greatly liked but as an alumni I'm saddened at the architectural missteps that plagued the company such as the Pentium 4 architecture changes that otherwise cost billions of shareholder value. There was

Your dismissal of a non SV company's innovation is embarrassing for you. The tech here is as good or better as anyone in the Valley.

I would deeply miss them if Uber went away. Speak for yourself. I prefer not to overpay black cab drivers with consistently bad, racist attitudes. I think in a fair world the taxi drivers should be available for those that want them (like M

Oh wow. I've a house there and don't understand why a rural county even needs to bother with directional quadrant addressing. Surely there's not much need to disambiguate in such a rural place.

It saddens me that these folks will soon be made into political chattel and inevitably labeled as racist Trump supporters. Sad state of the country

This. I feel all help would already be self service if it weren't for fraud vectors like this that would be exploited en masse if publicly exposed. Redditors would devour these scenarios.

Consumers seem to be motivated by coddy and availability. If an upstart has lower prices and enough drivers I think there isn't as much of a moat. But this would require a lot of cash to subsidize. Solvable surely if not improbable.

Why is the price increasing as volume has gone up? Is it FDA-type regulation that's preventing new market entrants or patents? Or something else artificially preventing new market entry like legal risk?

For a company with $250B in cash sitting on its books this seems like a battle they can win versus any actors even most nation states :)

Github has really completed an unusual feat - Hostile to people of color, the entire gender spectrum as well as cisgendered people of no color. All seem to have grievances with this company. Wow.

I love Calibre and contribute recipe updates often but don't really see the value of the server. I script things to download via command line and then send to kindle over email. It's more robust than the front end and less hassle
