Yes. Check out theredpill, laugh and/or cry that such a thing is real, and then close it and never look back.

So, when you came up with the name, did you look in the mobile space to see if, maybe, there was another popular tool with the same name that might be confusing?

Yes, exactly. Enough accusations, and you become a distraction to the company. Were I on the board, he would be trying to justify why he should remain as head of this company.

Yeah, they kinda are.

"How is what Austin did good? It dissuades capital investment and innovation." I don't believe that for a second. Especially because the exact regulations that Austin put into place are followed by Uber in other places.

To be honest, given the history of Uber's CEO, I think he's no longer afforded the benefit of the doubt. The onus would be on him to prove to the board that these accusations are not true.

Yes, she worked hard. I guarantee you the person working two jobs to put their children through school is working harder.

The idea of some of these salaries, relative to what normal people make, is even more absurd.

"That doesn't mean you bash Mayer for playing by the rules that society has set up." So "don't hate the player, hate the game"? I've never agreed with that idea. The "players" are adults who are

No, that was another spin. He also gambled on the timing. Seriously, who in their right mind takes out an option with such a short life?

by st3v3r 10y ago
I mean, by definition, it has to be both.
102.
by st3v3r 10y ago
So you spun a roulette wheel and lost?
103.
by st3v3r 10y ago
I cannot agree with that. Taking $10m does not mean you plan on growing into a $1B business. I also disagree with the idea that we have to focus on the "investment perspective". The VCs made money. I can't care less that they

by st3v3r 10y ago
So some VCs didn't get the crazy high returns they thought they would. So what? Calling Trello a failed outcome is still crazy. There are far, far more metrics, and I'd say far more important metrics to decide whether a company is

When it comes to what's run on their platform, yes.

How do you know they didn't do as good of work? You and I both know that objectively judging "quality of work" in this industry is extremely difficult, and more often it just comes down to someone's biased opinion.

"Susan Fowlers case is notable because it's definitely the exception, not the norm." No. One of the resounding refrains after that came out was how much it wasn't the exception.

"What McConnell did (attempt to shut down resistance of the opposite party) was wrong-headed and undemocratic, but the only thing it had to do with gender was the use of a pronoun" If that were true, then why were the several men

So you disagree with your previous statement? That courts can interpret the law, including the intention of it?

by st3v3r 10y ago
They're not changing anything. They're deciding the rules for their platform.

No. Apple has plenty of experience doing that themselves, without that. There's a reason the term "Sherlocking" exists.
112.
by st3v3r 10y ago
"What is "code"?" Apple has decided that, and you're not going to get around their policies with a clever rhetorical question.
113.
by st3v3r 10y ago
Under that reasoning, wiretapping laws and privacy laws should not apply to digital communications, because they were not specifically mentioned.

by st3v3r 10y ago
That's still creepy as fuck.

"They do not have this more nebulous "duty to society" responsibility that puts them on the hook for every single instance of bad behaviour by any of the employees." Yes, they do. Again, they are entirely responsible for

"Someone barely making ends meet running their own courier service could do the same thing." This statement reeks of ignorance. That's like saying a poor person could easily afford chemo, while ignoring the fact that they won

Nothing negative that has come out of Uber has been faked. You have absolutely no evidence to say otherwise. And of course a video of the CEO of Uber berating one of his drivers was always going to see the light of day. "The term &quot

"I'm getting the sense that there's some kind of orchestrated effort to take down Uber." If there is, it's from Uber itself. Everything that has come out are things that Uber has done by itself. No one else's f

Wrong. It is an issue with the idea that the rich are above the law.
120.
by st3v3r 10y ago
That's exactly what that is. Basically, if you're rich enough to where the fine doesn't matter, you don't have to follow the law.
