Lyft gives drivers a larger portion of the ride's cost (80% instead of 70% IIRC). I never feel obligated to tip, but tip if the service was great.

I left Facebook almost a year ago so I can't speak about Today. But back then internal adoption of React Native was definitely accelerating rapidly and it was solving very real organizational and developer experience problems. The orig

There are definitely parts of the Facebook app built in React Native. I built some of them. :)

The point of React Native isn't to create a delightful product experience. The point is to create the equivalent experience of a native app with a delightful development and organizational experience. - Instead of having separate teams

I totally would have used this last year when commuting from SF to Menlo Park. It's too bad I sold my car and quit my job, would have been fun to meet some cool people and make some extra money at the same time.

Hi Sam, What are some actions people like myself can take to push our community, nation, and world towards Basic Income? This is particularly important to me because of how fast Uber/Tesla are rushing towards fully autonomous vehicles.

I think the term "self-driving" is preferable to "driverless" because it's not like there's no driver, the car is the driver. It's also less scary-sounding which could help speed up adoption. :)

I agree that this is something HN should build rather than be supported via a Chrome extension. I work on a semi-relevant project called Product Pains where people can post and vote on product feedback publicly about any app or website. Aft

Double taxation for C corps is on dividends but not salary so this isn't really as big a deal as you'd think.

> Better to have 93% of something worth 10MM+ than 100% of 100k. You're making an assumption that with YC your company would be worth $10m+ and without, $100k. That assumption isn't really valid to me.

> 7% is a large amount of equity to give up for the money they're giving you The value you get out of YC isn't really the money. 7% is a lot.

Bringing up concerns regarding sexism are abruptly shut down and labeled "shit disturbing" by a man in charge.

Agree 100%. Some are very sensitive to sexism and political incorrectness and some just don't care/notice. Regardless, a leader should encourage community members to voice their legitimate concerns. Duncan's actions were simp

Big spenders do a lot of due diligence to make sure that the money they spend is actually giving them a positive return. It's not like businesses just throw millions down the drain and hope it gives them results. Facebook is working gr

I work on a very relevant project called Product Pains. React Native, the open source project, is using Product Pains instead of GitHub issues for bug reports and feature requests. This is because there were thousands of open issues and, ju

The most interesting part is that Apple seems to be cool with this: > Does Apple permit this? > Yes! Section 3.3.2 of the iOS Developer Program allows it "provided that such scripts and code do not change the primary purpose of t
