Has it? What do they actually have? They are losing money hand over fist. And their autonomous car program is in serious jeopardy.

You're absolutely right; I can. But there's less impetus to do so given his demonstrated lack of empathy toward others. I don't actively wish him or his family ill will or harm, but I am also less willing to give that sympath

I am going to say it's impossible. He is responsible for the company. That means both the good and the bad. And his past actions have shown that's not far off; that he does behave in a manner consistent with Uber's bad action

Especially recently, for every one person who actually is sincere in their desire to learn and grow, there can be three or more people who are trying to be a concern troll or are otherwise asking in bad faith.

The thing with meritocracy is that, at the end of the day, a person is making those value judgements. A person with their own set of biases and prejudices. And especially in code, there is very little in the way of "This code is object

If that kind of statement is unacceptable (even if you were to clean it up a bit), then your company has bigger problems. Masking them with alcohol, like masking any other problem with alcohol, is a bad idea.

It seems many people aren't doing that because Uber has a history of not having much empathy for people they or their drivers have wronged. There appears to be very little empathy for their employees who have been victims of sexual har

"I would say he's not the root cause of the issues but he is the root cause of Uber's success." I can't agree with that statement. He's responsible for both. He doesn't get to take credit for the good and

Those places that are affordable are affordable because not many people want to live there. Those places where people do want to live are quickly becoming less affordable.

The only problem is that it ends up not being a choice. Once you start working those crazy hours, they're going to expect them, even after you "choose" not to work at 2AM.

"If engineers in India are, say, 5x cheaper fully-loaded than in the US; and some of them are awesome engineers; why are there not startups in the West competing to pay the rock-stars a Western salary but have them stay in India?"

He's not doing it because of that, though. He's doing it to get money. If he really felt that way, he'd be living to remove those laws.

And because those clothes are so cheap, your country isn't able to get it's own textile industry going. Thus killing jobs.

I disagree entirely. Yes, someone has to service the robots. But it will be significantly fewer people doing that than were doing the job that the robots took over. Bootcamps/Treehouse can be a thing, but while you do that bootcamp, yo

Well, for one, they're much better at it than most of us. For two, on mobile, people hate typing in logins. So at least offering an integrated one can provide a huge uptick in usability.

I really cannot agree with you. I still don't see anything that affects using OS X as a Unix station. It works just as well as it did before. And I've never had an issue with SIP.
