   Uber has made some tremendous progress towards offering self-driving cars, which completely changes the economics of ride sharing. Lyft might be quietly making moves in this direction too, but I'd worry about their ability to stay comp

   Sounds like the issue isn't difficulty, but lack of inspiration. imho op should find a job they're more passionate about.

   Right on, seems like consumers underestimate how powerful their spending choices are. Would love to see more of this mentality when people decide which companies to support when buying gas, food, medicine, telecom, etc.

   It's the millennial user base that none of the older brokerages have been able to capture. If Robinhood holds most brokerage accounts of people born after 1980, CS will pay billions to acquire these accounts. While these accounts are s

    Welp - after reading through these comments, seems like privacy and code upload are huge concerns. Might be worth it for you guys to get ahead of this, and address these issues explicitly on the home page and during installation. It will lo

    Totally - I think we all stand on the shoulders of giants, easy to take for granted all the hard work put into OSS. I love the conscious effort to give back!

    Ha, the flip phones are key. They must have algorithmically calculated that the 90s were the optimum time to live a false life. I wonder why the machines made people live boring lives - seems like a great way to get them to wonder "is

    Thanks! What low-hanging fruit do you see for AR?
19. 259.▲
    by sebleon 10y ago

    Right - identifying AR as a hot area is easy, but formulating what that looks like requires vision. Money and talent will deliver the Palm Pilot (1997), vision will deliver an iPhone (2007). My take on UX frontiers: #1 text console #2 mouse

    That's a noble decision! Call me a cynic, but I think you're in the minority, I doubt most people have the moral fortitude to forego $200 in free Uber credits...

    Before, Apple used to be led by a product visionary. Now it's led by a supply chain expert. I seriously doubt Apple will develop another revolutionary product with the new leadership. My prediction is that paradigm shifting AR products

    Haha that's hilarious! True, but typically using throwaways has some weird connotations. Glad you're changing its meaning!

    > Similar prices Not true, Uber can be 40-60% cheaper. I've stopped taking public transit in the Bay Area because of Uber, I don't think I could do that with Lyft alone. Is there another competitor with cheaper pricing?

    by sebleon 10y ago

    I disagree - I've had Uber and Lyft for years, and I check both to compare prices and ETA. For the past 6 months, I've noticed that Uber can be 40-60% cheaper than Lyft. I doubt former Uber users will forget what prices are like.

    Thanks for the great find @sergeant3! Super interesting story, I'm always amazed by inner workings of the underworld of global trade. Very reminiscent of Blood Diamond (2006)...
