:D AP and other publishers don't recommend capitalising 'internet' and 'web'.

Re:Airbnb Files to Raise $850M at $30B Valuation
on Saturday August 06, 2016 @01:50AM (#12237217)
In my view, valuations and fundraise are based on what the company is going to do and growth trajectory it is on. It'd be a mistake to assume (as I see a lot of commentators here wondering why a software company needs $850M) that Airbnb will forever be a booking platform for shared rooms or continue to do what it does today.
Of course, there is no disclosure yet about what they wish to do with this capital and it may become clearer in next few months. The reach Airbnb has today could get it into growth areas such as Airline tickets, B2B, advertising or possible acquisitions. Also, being a full stack company, cost of operations, support, lobbying etc. would also be a factor for more capital.

Barring a very few genuine ones, most of the HRs and recruiters that I've come across are nothing but humans parroting company policies and procedures. Practically, they never exhibit any empathy or creativity, I'd love for some of them to be replaced by bots.

Spot on! As someone once said, most books should have been blogs, while most blogs tweets.
Re:Uber to Sell China Business to Rival Didi After Losing Billions
on Monday August 01, 2016 @02:19AM (#12200511)
One of the factors for Rest of the world vs China gap could be the ticket size of a cab ride. A 5km Uber ride in India/China/SE-Asia costs $1.5 on an average, while in developed countries its $15 on an average (10X). So, I guess, it's value over volume for Uber and markets that are on fast-track to profitability.

Ask HN: Any deep learning product close to YouTube's auto-captioning of videos?
Wonder if there's any Internet product or application, in terms of scale & accuracy, that comes close to it.

Given what they did to Parse, this doesn't inspire much confidence. Also, tech companies would find it hard to ditch Slack for its numerous API integrations with services such as Atlassian, Github, Fog Creek.

Thanks! We are most likely to go ahead with PrimerCSS (http://primercss.io/) combined with few elements from Bootstrap.

Thanks; I like Mailchimp's, but we can't use it for commercial use due to their license.
