I wouldn't. There is no service that's being provided, but you will still see plenty of tip jars and a line item for tips if you pay by card. As a business you'd be foolish to not have that, as you see by other commenters the

Same experience here on a MBP. Tried to switch a couple months ago and the fans run in overdrive.

Well, if (when?) uber/lyft enter the market, you probably already have their apps, so this is a non-issue. For others, I think if you have competent product people, you'd limit registration to a phone number and offer apple/a

Ok, so if they rename it to 'lane guidance' or whatever, everything would be cool?

Regardless of what you think it means, this guy was likely smart enough to know what it is. It's not like it was a 90 year old driver who doesn't understand technology. Also, supposedly he was aware of issues at this particular sp

A highway is a road. The context is quite clear since we're talking about the crash site.

Huh? Which developed countries don't have road markings on highways? Paint is just one aspect. There are also plenty of cracks and uneven pavement as you can see from the street view.

No real excuse for Tesla, but seriously why are our roads so bad. This is one of the wealthiest areas in the world and a busy stretch of road.

Pretty much all hotels in the city are around the Tenderloin. You can't really avoid it, it's in the heart of the city.

In SF you also get free transfers for 90 minutes which is a nice benefit. Lyft line / uber pool is closer to $6+ if you're going around the city, unless of course you only go 2 blocks. If you're going somewhere for an appoint

It baffles me why software companies spend so much money on leasing prime real estate in one of the most expensive markets, v.s. pursuing a more remote workforce strategy.

I'm obviously not in all those channels, more like 20-30. One issue is that channel discoverability is poor. Searching for the right channel is difficult or impossible, since search only looks at the actual name vs. also the descriptio

Totally agree. I work for a 2000+ people company and we have over 2000 channels. Slack just doesn't work well for that size.

The problem with the pin is that you can easily see people entering them, and then you can easily get in. With TouchID and FaceID that part is a lot more difficult.

That would help with the unlock step, but then how do you interact with the phone? The touchscreen wont work well as you've said putting in the pin isn't easy.

At first glance I'm not a fan, but I'll give it some time. So much white space. I wish they give us a compact option.

I don't think raising the fares would have any impact in the drivers' desire to have a tip option. Tips are free money and widely acceptable in the US, so who wouldn't want that. Since Uber lost a recent lawsuit wrt tipping,

I'm not a fan of Slack. I think it's way more distracting than useful. The biggest problem I think is that it doesn't really allow for async communication. If I have a question that I want to ask someone, but it's not ur

I'd love to see their return customer number. If you hand out money, user acquisition if measured by signups is pretty meaningless. I tried this site once and it was a disastrous experience. Their customer service is horrendous, and th

Yeah, I personally didn't really get the point of this article. You could view it as a very good thing that the company isn't keeping around potentially low performers purely because of tenure. Also, I highly doubt the person that

Yeah, I don't get it either. The majority of what I've seen at my company is giphy spam in every channel. The vast majority of people constantly check slack for any giphy updates or other BS. Direct messages are distracting becaus

Exactly. I don't think it's a bad thing though. Just because you had an idea or built a MVP doesn't make you a good CEO.

Exactly this. I've recently come across a lot of these very highly rated products (with thousands of reviews) and almost immediately you see many of the reviews saying "company gave me the product for free to write an honest and u
