how we can fix this sharing economy Start by ditching the term “sharing economy” because there is no “sharing”, person A pays and person B provides some service, so it’s just “economy”.
^^^ What he said. How about "eBay for car rides"

Uber's response is a joke, but I'm more surprised by how HockerOne is not helpful here. Sure their revenues come from corporations but if they don't maintain healthy community (where hackers get rewarded appropriately) the platform will lose any attraction.
But, I'm probably wrong; the company seems to be well financed and has attracted a ton of clients that would be pissed if their investments were to disappear like that. Maybe it's just growing pains combined with fear of pissing off bad actors like Uber. They supposedly have nearly 100,000 active pentesters contracted, so they can stand to lose a little face to keep Uber happy.

How does being rude with personal attacks help your case at all? (On a purely emotional level, it even makes me want to side with Uber for this) > Oh my God.

Unfortunately, at least for me, this comes off as public shaming.
I'm getting Uber fatigue. This company has been in the news mostly in a negative sense. It 's lost on me what innovation, technologically, or socially, they have brought to the table. Instead, perhaps we can focus on how we can fix this sharing economy, so that we can all benefit; not just the ones who happened to raise the most money from shareholders.
I've often thought it would be cool to build a fairer ride hailing app that gives drivers more autonomy. The driver buys the app as a one time purchase, they get to set their own prices, and there is more transparency between buyer and seller. There could be a simple bidding process where users request a ride, drivers make an offer, and the user accepts one based on price, how far away the driver is, and their review…

In Baltimore we already do this. In Baltimore it's called hacking. http://afro.com/the-anatomy-of-a-hack/ It could be half the cost of a uber or lyft depending on where you're going. A $23-$30 ride could be $9-$15 via a hack. Most of these people are retired older dudes or drug addicts looking for money for their fix. I thought of an app to facilitate this based off of a review system of past customers. Take a dollar…
What a catastrophically bad idea..
Only the XSS one was a real vulnerability, they should have paid $500 at least for that though.
That's false. Non-expired authentication tokens is a serious issue.
