The bike vs. scooter thing is interesting (although a non electrified scooter would NOT be a good idea, much harder than biking a comparable distance with a weirder, less efficient motion). I think that objectively a bike is a much better o

Because especially on mobile, screen space is insanely valuable, and if you want to show new information from the new area the map has been moved to you often need to remove "stale" information.

Why do you think that use case is that common? And why do you think google maps should elevate that particular use case above other competing use cases?

There are some good points here, but of course I am going to ignore those to talk instead about the stuff I disagree with! The section about google maps follows a form of criticism that is widespread and particularly annoys me, namely =>

I've been seeing a nutritionist to try to help with weight loss and his emphasis has been on a healthy plate, which is a plate that is half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter starch or grains. Even at nice restaurants, it is extr

Doesn't respond to any of the claims in the story. The story is about 1) how FedEx lobbied for the Trump tax cuts, 2) what they claimed they would do with that money if the tax cuts were passed, 3) what they actually did with that mone

in a recession, is short term, flexible office space more or less desirable?

Do you have direct experience or knowledge of this? Cause this doesn't square with my anecdotal knowledge or my sense of the bay area labor market. For instance levels.fyi quotes total comp for mid level engineers in the 250 range, whi

I used retool at work for a while. We had some specific peculiarities with our stack that added a little too much friction for us, but overall it's a super impressive product with a lot of potential. I hope you guys continue growing so

the article isn't about the feel of the keyboard, its about the reliability. Unless you are saying you like stuck keys?

This critique doesn't really make sense. `sleep 60` Because one interruption takes x amount of time to deal with and the other interruption takes x + 60 seconds of staring at a chat window that FEELS like 3 times as long

Not the same type of things. Space X doesn't dock with space stations or repair telescopes, space shuttle doesn't launch commercial sattelites.

runners have a much better stopping speed than bicycles, and also don't have sharp metal or carbon fiber frames that can hurt pedestrians :) Also 15 mph is a sub 4:20 mile, and for most people will be pretty close to a flat out sprint.

does this calculus still work if each scooter only lasts 3 months, as is stated in the article?

I put in my disclaimer out of sense of honesty. I'm a bike rider, I don't like cars either. As you can see however, my question is whether electric scooters with a three month lifespan can come out ahead in environmental savings.

Vehicles that move faster than pedestrians should go on the road, like bicycles do. As a bike rider, its a vastly superior option that going on the sidewalk.

Full disclosure, I'm anti scooter. People drive them on the sidewalks, leave them in front of my front door, and I genuinely hope that both of these companies, specifically, fail. With that disclosure, was anyone else horrified that th

YES. it doesn't matter if you CAN possibly recreate some of the functionality in gmail. it matters if the app guides you to your preferred workflow. Inbox made it easier to keep inbox zero than not. Thats the difference.

Test save you time (maybe) in the long run. But in the search for product market fit, you may conceptualize, design, build, release and then scrap a feature within the course of a month. That's not a long enough lifespan for the tests

This is a message board run by a VC firm. The process of raising venture capital is of significant interest to me and I'm guessing many other readers. Is 8 weeks a particularly fast timeframe for raising a seed round? I'm sure tha
