I look at it more in the sense of Uber's product not being a rideshare app, but being a "move you from point A to B in the best way possible app" (best = meets your cost/time/comfort needs). Here's a good write

My first reaction was: "Wow, FB finally went over the line and is actually an evil spyware distributor." Then I started thinking about what this app really is. At $20/month per user, it's clearly impossible to recoup tha

I was thinking about this too. Search engines should regularly crawl a page and notice that the content has been updated right? So it seems like they should ignore pubdate as it could be gamed, and just measure the real "last updated&q

"it will take significant stagnation on Tableua's part" As a former customer of Tableau, it feels like this has already happened right? I worked at a company where many teams used it, and there were zero defenders of Tableua

There is a really big metric on their dashboard, "Pageviews", and this is a best of all worlds solution (cheaper, more content, diverse content, diverse authors promoting their content, forbes.com SEO juice, etc).

Agree that the lock-in is weak compared to other markets. Their strategy has been to incentivize drivers and riders to not split usage between other apps. Uber drivers who do a certain number of hours or rides per day/week often get bo

The hardware gives a better guarantee of botnet uptime though. If you want it to be powered on and attached to that network 24/7, you can't rely on their laptop/desktop.
