    Ford GoBike have to be some of the worst, most ill-maintained bikes in the city. The product quality is terrible compared to the competition - half the bikes have mechanical issues…

    Uber launched a similar service in Africa last year.. https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/12/uber-bus/

    Blah - seems like a sensationalist clickbait article, just cashing in on the current media cycle. I'm honestly more shocked at the myopic discussion in this thread, quite lacking i…

    Could someone link to examples of her work? The article reads as if it's more of a fashionable contrarianism, mostly for the sake of it. I would like to experience her work in deta…

    DC and Colma also suffer from some of the worst fog cover through out the year around the area.

    Not adding node_modules to .gitignore would be a very wrong way of solving this issue.

    Their mobile app is one of the most poorly designed and poorly executed major tech products out there. For a company that hires probably a thousand engineers, there has been very l…

    It is. I get an uber where I live within 2-3 minutes. And sometimes I've gotten uberPool matches essentially going to the same destination picked up within a block. These are only …

    What you said doesn't make much sense. Much more important than the algorithm is the market that the algorithm operates in. Uber couldn't unleash a magical algorithm and solve comm…

    Buying worthless taxicab medallions to circumvent political opposition seems like a fool's errand. 13,605 NYC taxicab medallions at a cost of $600,00 is $8.1 Billion, for an asset …

    I think the study is trying to link two quite unrelated aspects through a narrow lens of anonymized "international" friendship links. What constitutes international? Is any link ou…

    Why would anyone need to buy a 64GB Apple TV rather than a 32GB one?

    Meh. That's a lot of input that the author had to provide. It is responding to unstructured/unpredictable messages as well, which takes quite a bit of thinking by the author. If I …

    I can't see how Dropbox wouldn't end up getting crushed in this fight. Just recently, they reclaimed all the promo/referral/college storage I had, and shrunk my space from 40GB to …

    Same with Lyft. Three people looking at their phone in a Lyft Line just means that they want to get to where they want to go without some mindless chitchat.

    11.9% at 300M. So, 2.52B valuation. About 20+% of company sold in current raise!

    I love the design of Sunrise, but the slowness of the app and network refresh infuriates me. Been using the Google Calendar app this morning, and love the instantaneous sync. Sunri…

    10 basis points for a #100 employee does not seem like an accurate representation. FB was quite mature by 2009, and offers were not as high. (Source: Offer in 2008)
