From an engineering perspective, that sounds uninteresting :) Terrible networking? how many engineers does it take to implement a few flavors of retries? :) Uber growth in term of getting drivers, that's what I want to know. It's

I think you have been to a few rodeos :) Yeah, when a team goes from 2 to 100, a serious business/engineering manager got to ask a few questions. However, if money honey flow is not a problem, it could be in everyone's interest ju

From a user perspective, you may not have to download a new app. Different locale, different customs, regulations may dictate entire different screens. How an "app" is designed and packaged internally to enable the business to res

German autobahn is fine driving. You would just have to make sure your car got that extra kick if you want to go to the left. Driving in Italy, Rome esp, is fine too. There is a reason the red light is so big and so much larger than the gre

"I've found the guiding star to be "Is this really immoral, or have we just been socialized to believe it's impolite or in bad taste?" One should realize that a lot of this socialization is provided by people who si

You can make a good argument that's exactly what Uber did. They tried to obtain field data to make competitive decision. Market intelligence, market research, competitive analysis, swot, opposition research, take place everyday. The wa

It's a good bet that Lyft lawyers are currently preparing and there are probably top level negotiations ongoing between Lyft and Uber regarding this area. If there is evidence Uber attempted a bridge too far such as using the fake acco

Nope. I doubt the drivers have a case. I mean, the public can see them, so there is no expectation of privacy whatsoever. Lyft, itself, on the other hand, has a much better case against Uber

Lyft should have a good case. A few years ago, there was case where one company had their employees calling the support line of another company (think it was the cable industry) to tie up support and resources that were meant for real cus

You missed the follow on statement (quoted below). We would not want 1 or 2 companies to hog the visas, right? ==== Fair distribution. Companies need to get a fair shot to get what they need and no single company ought to be allowed to hog

If you judge a professional because he or she showed up with books for their area of expertise, then you have ways to go still ... get out, see more of the world, get some perspective :)
