    If you had bothered to read my post..."On a different magnitude". In India and Bangladesh there is recorded history of hundreds of thousands of deaths. The book sources these facts…

    I was under the impression you were the parent I initially replied to. I apologise. So in regards to your question, AA has been disastrous around the world. In India and Bangladesh…

    "One is what one does, not intends" I couldn't agree more. Travis (and the team) has created $51bn of market value, provided cheaper and more efficient transportation to tens of mi…

    I have yet to see any 'evidence', or personal insight. Yet you seem to think you understand a man, whom you've never met nor interacted with, and his deep personal motivations. Bas…

    Uber is doing 10x more revenue and 20x more bookings(last time I saw stats, which was 1-2 years ago)

    I'd suggest you read the book, it's only 200 pages and I can't summarise it in one sentence. It's sad that someone down voted me for suggesting a book which has voluminous facts an…

    Have you actually seen the history of Affirmative Action? I'd suggest you read 'Affirmative Action around the world' by Thomas Sowell. There's a plethora of sources and facts packe…

    If anyone here wants to know about the long history of Affirmative Action you should definitely read "Affirmative Action Around the World" by Thomas Sowell. Can't sing enough prais…

    What evidence do you have to support this? What personal knowledge to do you have to support this? What accompanying expertise do you have to support this? It's odd to me that peop…

    It's the worldwide presence where Uber had the massive advantage. If Didi/Ola/Lyft/Others decide to merge/parter only than will they stand a chance.

    Yep. I'd rather have a MOOC-esque course where you can be certain the quality of eduction will permeate to the areas where quality education is scarce.

    The average is meaningless. Venture capital follows the power law. The top 5-10 firms in the U.S. will realise 95%+ of the returns for the entire industry. The Benchmarks, Sequoias…

    Where'd you get the stats on Nextdoor? Really thought they'd have more than 1mm DAU's.

    Vital discussion which needs to be had, especially with the recent events and announcements from many tech companies.

    Ideas do matter, there are a lot of useless ideas. Good ideas _alone_ don't matter if you can't execute. Either way it's helpful to know what field OP wants to work in, especially …

    Not worse, just not any better. The use case was, for me, fragmented into many other services. Evernote was sort of my second brain before, not any more.

    Used to use Evernote 10+ times per day. Now it's a few times a week at most. Seems the product has stayed stagnant for a while now.

    Billions of dollars a year already go into cancer research. Infinite funding != faster progress. I'd say the allocation of capital has been fairly efficient. Uber will be doing sel…
