Alternative interpretation: Iframes are so overpowered and such an edge case for the browser's security models that they cause constant issues with the rest of the reasonable browser spec.

IMO: Uber fucked up tremendously before. It's not doing so now.

Why do you think it could be substantively different between Uber and Lyft? It seems incredibly unlikely to me. I see basically no cultural difference between these platforms.

Why are the studios $2000/month in this alternate universe where we don't have rent control?

This article makes some throwaway concession to the 'far less dire consequences' but this is huge . These vehicles have far fewer negative externalities than cars. People don't die when they get hit by scooters and bikes. We

Could you write the article which explains the problem through those lenses?

Yes, even through getaround. Uber does provide this as a service for drivers. But this announcement is about a rider side product.

Getaround has a bunch of fake owner accounts with automated help lines which I think are actually owned-fleet vehicles.

Could you source the assertion that Uber (as opposed to the local police) has indicated the victim in the crash was homeless? (That would be an inexcusable and cynical deflection.)

Since there's no censorship, it sounds like if OpenBazaar is successful it will be used to buy and sell illegal things. How do you feel about that? :)

I'm really sorry. You've suffered a large loss. You'll have to find some way to draw a line in between your present and your past, and to move on. Make a decision about cutting your losses on this investment based on the unde

The most surprising thing about this to me is how long it took to have a new cycle about it. Firesheep was a 2010 invention. Once that happened, anyone could chill in a coffeeshop and watch the http traffic whizz by. ... as much as we wan

It's a beautiful book. He also signed it for me, in case that's a thing you value. I'd love to know how different his reprints are the the originals. I've seen one from the original run, and they looked the same to me.

Yep, totally get what you're driving at here. To the extent that you're asking about product differentiation: scale, eta, and price are reasons people choose one over the other. To the extent that you're keen on punishing peo

I think most people are concerned with making sure they're not actively supporting and organization currently behaving badly (and I pretty strongly believe that Uber isn't). I've been at the company for 2.5 years. I'm so
