Here's one angle. If this app becomes popular and Uber sends a C&D, then Uber results will no longer show up in this app, meaning Lyft would get all the bookings from people who use it.

Interesting, they've always logged in to my submissions. Process is truly random imho.

Seconded. Logan is class act. It's great to see Lyft doing well. They are a nice contrast to how Uber operates.

Congrats! Using Rethink in production, solid so far.

Twitch.tv is more important for anyone who follows E-Sports than any other property out there, Cable or Net. I'm on Twitch.tv more than ABC, NBC, CBS, etc for 8 months out of the year (football season excepted). And I'm definitely

Agree with your comment, but an inundation of these type of comments on HN in the past seem like a very good indicator that the company will succeed to the tune of multi-billion$ valuations.

Well, nobody would use PH if they begged for people to use it. Their success is directly correlated with the fact that they are a cool kids club, and everyone wants in. Psychology 101. Your comment, ironically, if anything, just made PH m

Can Paypal (not Braintree) also authorize future Credit Card purchases from the same user without having to enter the CC number again? As in, could PayPal pass me a customer ID when someone purchases with CC via PayPal?

Does the PayPal SDK do the same thing? (saving credit cards to a vault) https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integrat...

Will this be able to save credit cards on the device so the user doesn't need to re-enter their credit card every single time they need to make a purchase?

> Socket.io has been plagued with scalability issues since its original release How does that affect scalability, or how is that related to your comment?

If you tell 100 friends their startup idea sucks you'll be right 99 times, but remembered for the one time you were wrong :P

The opengl looked quite smooth but the UI layer looked very slow and laggy. Is there a reason for this?

My concern are the costs. If you track by visits, even trivial apps will need to pay $500/month.

Move fast break things. It's both cliche and true. I wish they would treat their public API differently.

I don't see why this is a bad thing. There is inherently less cognitive overhead to use something you are already familiar with. Same reason why people wouldn't give Bing the time of day. All things being equal, and you just had

Apologies for the tone in my comment. It just made it difficult to digest the rest of your comment, which I actually completely agree with.

> And unfortunately this will change no one's opinion Way to open it up with a statement that's guaranteed to be 100% false.

So is the consensus that this guy actually committed all counts of the allegations or is this article just really biased.

I believe they hired HR and put new policies in place. Chances are this incident will make it a better place to work than before.

by weixiyen 12y ago
Only if it was true or partially true. If it was completely off-base and false, they'd be going after the person making the allegations like there was no tomorrow.

So how much stock we can expect to put into such investigations?

What if it's the most requested feature by most customers and your data is telling you it might be a good idea? It would be crazy not to try.

I wouldn't say that boring solutions are always the best, unless they satisfied the conditions below. Here's what is REALLY important: A) How fast can you get your first product in front of customers? B) How often can you measure

Highly doubt this scales past 30 employees unless your customer base is really small. Customer service should really be summarizing concerns, and you should verify the concerns by looking at data to see if it's really a concern worth

Is Python the main language you guys use, over Java/C++ as well? And what's the context of its usage? How do you deal with stuff that's missing, do you just have your own employees fork and port existing libraries? I'm

^ This is the best comment in the entire thread. Nobody who's making anything that actually matters and delivers value to customers cares about the improvements in the language itself as much as they care about the battle-tested librar
