"Revenue up 18% Loss down 1/3rd 22x+ the revenue of $snap So much important work left to do, but congrats to the @Uber team." https://twitter.com/jason/status/870059383765389312

Why the silly dig at Snap? If you subtract Snap's employee stock program it lost $200m last quarter which is a lot less than Uber's $700m loss.

Has anybody published an estimate of what Uber's cash reserves might look like, or how long they can remain solvent at these insane burn levels? Losses of $3B/year seem like they would put almost anybody out of business.

From the article: "The company, which has raised some $15 billion in equity and debt funding, said it still has $7.2 billion of cash left on hand, about the same as it had at the end of last year."

Uber might actually exist in 10 years, the dig at Snap seems extremely fair game in this frothy environment
