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…

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…
