This is not a self-driving car and it is not cruise-control (that demands you pay attention to the lane ahead of you). This is a savant 8 year old driving your car. Seems to behave fine in common cases but if you relax you might well die if an uncommon case comes up that this child has no basis to handle. I personally would rather have an actual 8year take the car, since then I would have the correct amount of attention on the road out of well founded fear for the limitations of the child's abilities

It's called Herpese Simplex.. but there's nothing simple about it!

I tend to agree.. It's not on employers to support their employees - it's on governments to support their citizens. Amazon will get lambasted in the press, but this isn't an issue to be fixed employer by employer but rather by the government, which needs to provide safety nets like universal healthcare or living wage

Yes and no. Unionization would result in unions negotiating against Uber independently. As the dominant player I can see how unions would negotiate harder against Uber than (say) Lyft. A law would mean Uber/lyft/etc. would all have the same playing field - which is better for Uber.

Good god you sound ignorant. Uber isn't a post office with multi day SLA. It's a realtime service with second-SLAs that needs to know where you are, where the closest 20 drivers are, the map of the area, places of interest and a dozen other things - for millions of users in hundreds of cities - and that's just one part of the company. Payments is a whole chunk of the tech industry in and off itself. Food delivery is a whole of the tech startup scene in an off itself. As is Freight.

It takes 2 years and a lot of lawyers and maybe you might get it.. (it's not guaranteed at all) but if you've earned the 500k the hard way you're not very inclined to gamble it on the slim chance. Besides.. there's better places to retire on 500k

You intend to leave the first 4 years.. Then someone applies for a green card on your behalf and you believe there's a path to permanence - and you see folks getting green cards all the time.. Then 5 years later you find out, because you were born in the wrong country, you get to wait 70 years instead of 1. But by then you have a wife, kids and a dog. Then you kinda resign yourself to have to leaving someday but stay and make the TC you can while you can

Untrue.. if you take a look at what existing software unions are right now lobbying for in congress

Vision is obviously necessary - but a big problem folks run into is failing to recognize when something is not working. A/B testing is one way to keep yourself from falling into the trap of thinking 'I know better than my users what they should want'

Cost of a scooter is very conservatively $300 At $2 a ride, 10 rides a day, you earn that back in 2 weeks.
