Uber already had an ability to split fares with people you know, assuming there's only one pickup for all of you. I don't think Lyft had that. These new announcements are about splitting with strangers, matched on their end. It&#x

I can't go scuba diving at all, so I would especially love to see it. To me it has a different kind of thrill/interest factor than flying or hang-gliding anyway.

Zipcar tells you the color though, even if the picture is misleading. It's next to the basic car info, license plate, and name. They should definitely not be showing an image with the wrong color, but having the information is better t

I can understand the desire to make sure your money goes towards actual programs instead of overhead, but MSF - at least in the US - is one of the better big name charities I can think of on that front. http://www.charitynavigato

Out of curiosity, what are the texts/resources you're getting vocab from? Where do you get shows to watch? Did you pick up on the basics like the alphabet and pronunciation first and study that together? My husband's just lik

I stock up on bulky and non refrigerated items from Costco through GSX. Paper towels, cases of Mexican Coke, cereals and snacks, shampoo, and whatnot. It's doubly better that I can use my 2% back Costco membership and get Costco coupon

You should tell that to all the people that come running for openings I've had at my restaurant, to make just above minimum wage. The ones that just took a 2 hour public transit ride one way, the ones that drove for 45 minutes or more,

Okay I admit I was surprised ;) I figured that wouldn't be enough of a maker story. We only did it because we were bored by all the identical unsuitable rings we encountered. If we were going to stick with one symbol for our lives, may

Surprised you're still commenting... My husband and I also recently got married (congrats to you and your partner from us!) and we designed our rings from scratch - mine with a diamond alternative stone - as seen here: http:/&#x2

SFPark's most useful feature - the per-spot sensors - was disabled last year ... Kind of a shame, that would have eaten Monkey Parking's lunch, I think. Not sure if people really used it or if people use Monkey Parking at all, but

SF had a pilot program to (among other things) install per-spot sensors in around 8k metered spaces in congested areas. There was a companion iOS/Android app that could direct you to the nearest sensor-enabled available street parking

Honestly, I don't think there is any street parking price that would scare them away, especially since the only limitation is the space constraint and not the contents of car driver wallets. There will always be someone that's wil

Actually, they used to do it on a spot-by-spot basis to generate info about demand to change pricing, as the prices are often different depending on which block you park on (!). My original reason for using the sfpark iPhone app was that it

> inefficiently priced parking This is not really relevant in the context of San Francisco. The city has been running a pilot program since 2010 to change meter pricing based on demand. Interested startups could have worked within this p

I think that's a very underestimated reason for why taxis and Uber alike are hated by many. There is an artificial medallion shortage, sure, but I'm in the same bucket as skosuri and think that code enforcement would solve a lot o

Some of that is good and true, but trip itinerary transparency and rated drivers don't necessarily make for a good ride... 4 of 5 of my Uber rides in the last two weeks had 4.8-4.9 star drivers that didn't know the intersection I
