Ha, of course this makes the homepage of HN. It's interesting to see what kind of mistakes create outrage in this community.

They're not ignorant. They either don't care, or don't see source of revenue as the defining quality of their work.

At first glance, I think this measure makes a lot of sense - profits from mines mostly leave the country. That being said, I'd expect this will lead to a surge in illegal mining operations, which will likely be a lot more environmental

It can actually be a lot worse - entire countries will be held ransom when car networks gets compromised. Beyond disabling a countries transportation ability, a remote hacker could weaponize every car to attack passengers and pedestrians.

Sad to see things end this way - Yik Yak was pretty dope at Berkeley. However, I felt like the content got stale and predictable, and met the classic homogenous fate of every upvote/downvote community ever.

While the news makes sensationalist headlines and online outrage, sadly it doesn't seem like consumers care about Uber's behavior.

What did you think about the empirical analysis from this paper?

by sebleon 9y ago
Regardless of the veracity of your allegations, this paper is a sound empirical analysis. It's a solid piece of research, and it's not surprising that folks from a competing blockchain would be the first to unveil real problems wi

Meh, the doctor would likely call United's bluff if they tried those threats. Can you imagine the pilot's escalating warnings coming out of the plane's speaker phone? United should have continued to offer better incentives to

Legality should be boolean - either you're following the law or you're not. If guilty, however, the penalty should be proportionate to the harm done. In this particular case, Uber is guilty of breaching Lyft ToS's clause arou

I don't see how this is nefarious, Uber is scraping data that Lyft is sharing publicly. And based on Lyft's response, my hunch is that they do the same thing. If anything, this story distracts us from legit nasty business practice

w00t w00t, congrats Courtland, this is awesome! Indiehackers has tons of great content that can seriously help companies using Stripe Atlas. Together, IH+Stripe could helps companies go all the way from incorporation to profitability ;)

That's kind of a strawman argument - what about corn laced with organophosphates vs corn that's been genetically modified to generate organophosphates in the kernels?

I can't tell if krona is trolling. We're exposing people to more insecticides in their diet when the plant itself produces insecticides! At least spraying puts insecticides on the outside of the plant, which is somewhat washable.

Unfortunately, we are routinely exposed to thousands of synthetic chemicals daily, making it impossible to attribute future ailments to particular compounds. It's very sad that there's zero requirement to understand the long term

Are these rules posted somewhere? Overall, HN has some really interesting content and insight, mixed in with hateful negativity - seems like talking about the rules would be good, if we wanted to cut out the negative bits

That's a really interesting point! Other complexity in this business is the operational nightmare of efficiently managing a fleet, but if there's one company that has the tech chops to make this happen fast, it's Google.

They can, but unclear how good the margins are, if manufacturing becomes commoditized since so many players are investing in it. Lions share of profit will likely go to whomever owns the customer relationship w consumers

Those are interesting points! Regarding autonomous car technology, since there's so many people working on it, it seems like it may get commoditized soon. If that's the case, being an OEM that supplies the car sharing networks see

Could you link me to that ample evidence you speak of? On-demand car sharing is the future, making Tesla's consumer car ownership model outdated. Uber is 5-7 years ahead of Tesla on the operations side of managing and deploying a fleet

Evidence: Uber is already deploying self driving cars in multiple cities as part of the car sharing network.
