Re:Former employees say Lyft staffers spied on passengers

“This was said to be used to look up ex-lovers, check where their significant others were riding and to stalk people they found attractive who shared a Lyft Line with them... One staffer apparently bragged about obtaining Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s phone number.”
Right so nothing to see here...
Re:Ripple cryptocurrency surges as Japanese groups agree to use it
on Friday December 29, 2017 @05:56PM (#16032587)
My theory to explain the price surge is that cryptotraders are looking for non-correlation against Bitcoin which is currently trading at such a high value that it is making a lot of people nervous. Ripple is the largest coin that didn’t participate in the rapid marketcap gains that the BTC bullmarket pulled ethereum, litecoin, etc into. A lot of traders hear ‘centralized blockchain’ and think that makes it a good hedge against bitcoin’s distributed nature - doesn’t seem to be a lot of understanding about how these bank partnerships work or what an investment in an XRP token actually gets you.
Re:SoftBank Succeeds in Tender Offer for Large Stake in Uber

As someone pointed out above, this deal seems to be modeled after DST’s 2009 tender offer for Facebook shares - they paid a 35% discount for common shares from employees and early investors. DST cashed out in the IPO making a return of around ~18x.

Seemingly not even sr management gets dinged for this. Cruise (GM) just named Susan Fowler’s former boss from Uber their new CTO.
