Ford GoBike have to be some of the worst, most ill-maintained bikes in the city. The product quality is terrible compared to the competition - half the bikes have mechanical issues, the electrical bikes were hazardous. I was an early subscr

Uber launched a similar service in Africa last year.. https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/12/uber-bus/

Blah - seems like a sensationalist clickbait article, just cashing in on the current media cycle. I'm honestly more shocked at the myopic discussion in this thread, quite lacking in understanding the range of motivations of people who

Could someone link to examples of her work? The article reads as if it's more of a fashionable contrarianism, mostly for the sake of it. I would like to experience her work in detail tho. Sadly, a clever name like 'Amy G Dala&#x27

DC and Colma also suffer from some of the worst fog cover through out the year around the area.

Not adding node_modules to .gitignore would be a very wrong way of solving this issue.

Their mobile app is one of the most poorly designed and poorly executed major tech products out there. For a company that hires probably a thousand engineers, there has been very little improvements on the web and mobile properties in over

It is. I get an uber where I live within 2-3 minutes. And sometimes I've gotten uberPool matches essentially going to the same destination picked up within a block. These are only achievable with considerable penetration into a local m

What you said doesn't make much sense. Much more important than the algorithm is the market that the algorithm operates in. Uber couldn't unleash a magical algorithm and solve commuting inefficiencies for every user if there isn&#

Buying worthless taxicab medallions to circumvent political opposition seems like a fool's errand. 13,605 NYC taxicab medallions at a cost of $600,00 is $8.1 Billion, for an asset that's destined to be worth zero in a few years.

I think the study is trying to link two quite unrelated aspects through a narrow lens of anonymized "international" friendship links. What constitutes international? Is any link outside of your own country considered international

Why would anyone need to buy a 64GB Apple TV rather than a 32GB one?

Meh. That's a lot of input that the author had to provide. It is responding to unstructured/unpredictable messages as well, which takes quite a bit of thinking by the author. If I had to change a flight, I would guess I could do i

Tangential to the conversation, but the website (Timeline) is new to me, and it is quite interesting. Does it seem to anyone else that the design is completely backwards? After reading a news article, I'd wanna learn about what has bee

I can't see how Dropbox wouldn't end up getting crushed in this fight. Just recently, they reclaimed all the promo/referral/college storage I had, and shrunk my space from 40GB to 15GB. Pay up $10 per month or lose all y

Same with Lyft. Three people looking at their phone in a Lyft Line just means that they want to get to where they want to go without some mindless chitchat.

I love the design of Sunrise, but the slowness of the app and network refresh infuriates me. Been using the Google Calendar app this morning, and love the instantaneous sync. Sunrise was relegated to the fourth screen on my iPhone immediate

10 basis points for a #100 employee does not seem like an accurate representation. FB was quite mature by 2009, and offers were not as high. (Source: Offer in 2008)

I was more interested in knowing the level of transparency on a day-to-day basis on metrics such as usercount, revenue, etc. you know, stuff that could get you in a bind for insider trading.

Does Facebook have similar policies? What's the level of transparency there?

Suffice to say that, it was at least a very expensive experiment. And everybody I know hated it - it had a very antisocial vibe on the wearer.

Which stores are they? I mostly shop at Whole Foods and Costco, if those prices are exact, I wouldn't mind throwing more business Instacart's way. Oh yea, losing 8% cashback at wholefoods that Amex gives is a sting in the back of
