IANAL but it seems like it could be a basis for appeal. And what's the point of putting in months of work hearing a case if there's a chance that it will all get nullified.

I also had a magical autonomous ride when I visited Phoenix a couple years ago. I asked a friend who works at waymo why it's taking forever to build up a critical mass of vehicles …

It's great that your single unit hasn't failed but that's not much evidence against a recall. My onewheel at some point started to fail occasionally. The first time I was going at …

I had a onewheel that would occasionally just stop. The first time I was going at 15 mph and fortunately came away with only a few scrapes. I sent it in and they fixed it. This is …

I took a fully autonomous Waymo in phoenix a year ago. Very cool. A little jerky and at one point it said "Figuring this out" but whatever it was got resolved very quickly. Also, i…

This ignores payroll taxes, I assume.

Two clear inaccuracies are that the team worked out of the mountain view office and they joined months before the ipo.

I sold my mobile maps startup to Google around the same time and worked closely with the where2 guys. This article sounds like the result of a casual conversation with Noel and not…

It seems like these two articles are more relevant: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2009/06/01/the-cost-conun... https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/05/11/overkill-atul-...

Do you have a source for that? Even without cellular data turned on, carriers know your rough location based on cell tower locations.

Are you implying it's illegal to do that? It seems like the whole point of the article is that this is entirely legal. It sounds like congressmen and senators explicitly voted to p…

Mobile carriers are selling your real time location to anyone willing to pay. The number of nefarious uses for real time location is immense And meanwhile, the press is worked up a…

:) Yeah, I'm a super lurker.

And here's info about Yahoo Go: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Go

We launched on j2me flip phones and soon added support for blackberry. The displays were small and most phones didn't have GPS.

Android was acquired in 2005. Larry was the driving force behind the acquisition, IIRC.

I launched Google Maps for mobile in 2005. In 2006, Eric Schmidt was worried that Yahoo Go was a killer app. My claim that Google Maps was the real killer app fell on deaf ears. :)…

Except there's no "shared limited resource" in this case. Just an overvalued social network.

I'm highly skeptical of this iteration idea. I've been through this two times and it's taken me two years each time to fully prove out the idea. Any examples of good businesses tha…

Agreed. Just look at Microsoft after Gates. Or Intel after Grove. In both cases, they turned things over to operational, #2 types in Balmer and Barrett and in both cases, the compa…
