Nah. I'm not too concerned about what close minded people with preconceived notions have about me or my employability. I don't think any Uber employee will have problems finding jo…

Thats your prerogative. I choose to give him the benefit of the doubt. After seeing him speak and seeing the changes that have started to roll out, I believe he is sincere. 215 wer…

You can choose to believe the anecdotes of an Uber employee who presumably is drinking from the Kool Aid, or media reports that demonize Uber and don't report on any of the good th…

Yes, star performers were protected in the past. Not anymore. Many top performers were fired due to this recent investigation. Hopefully more are fired after the Holder report. "Wo…

When did I say that the account was wrong?

No, this is bullshit. Since I joined, Uber has been behaving very ethically. Yes, there have been problems, which are mainly with unchecked culture in some groups, but I think thin…

Do you feel the same way about Uber?

I use Firefox and chrome regularly. Firefox is worse by an order of magnitude but I still use it. The main issues for me are any type of video is terrible on FF vs chrome. It also …

Silicon Valley season 3. I love how that TV show is skewering the entire Valley and shows how ridiculously predictable we are.

Personally, I agree and we will have to wait and see what happens ultimately. Amazon tried this a few years ago, and I believe they stopped doing this but I'm not sure. But if I kn…

If every Twitter accusation and perceived injustice against Uber were investigated, there wouldn't be enough time in the day for anything else. I had an Uber ride from a driver who…

Uber employee here. No, absolutely not. We would not do this, and large swaths of the company, like myself, would quit if this were the case.

Incredibly ignorant statement. In many parts of Asia, including South Asia, having live in servants is very common. Philippines and Indonesia are just two examples.

Every day you let her live in these disgusting situation makes you complicit in this crime. Your aunt is stealing the life away from your sister. Free her.

It's only hacker news, don't get so worked up. People are allowed to disagree with you regardless of what you feel your best intentions are. Why do you care what anonymous internet…

False. Libertarianism isn't fascism or totalitarianism. It's about freedom.

The founder made millions making and selling cold press juice bars on the east coast. This is just taking that idea and "bringing it to the masses". Calling it a scam is ignorant. …

It wouldn't taste as good in a preserved bottle vs squeezed right there in front of you.

Lol $5 per glass? More like $10. But if you went to some of the juice bars it would cost $15. So the advantage would be having it in your own home with no mess. Don't mistake me fo…

I know a couple of people that work at Juicero and unlike 99% of you I've actually tried the juices. To call it a scam is harsh. There are legitimate concerns with supply chain, wh…

At google, I was given some code that manipulated some bits and the interviewer, in inexplicably terrible English, kept asking me what the purpose of this code was for. He has a ve…

H1B is a privilege not a right. You seemed to have done quite well for yourself, more proof that h1b isn't endentured servitude if you're good enough.

The abuse and exploitation of the h1b by Indian bodyshop and lack of action by Bush and Obama have ruined it for everyone. I hope the body shops go out of business and we get a mor…
