Raising $100M at a $25B valuation means someone paid $100M for a .4% stake in AirBnB, which is both surprising and amazing to me. This does ignore whatever preference and specialized terms the stakeholders were given. And of course, the b

They probably work for charging as well in most cases. The issue with most of them is they could allow too much current to flow, more than a micro-usb cable is rated for. Some consumers might appreciate this though, trading an miniscule f

That's another option, but it's generally cheaper to pay a pilot to fly them. Risky or not, there are always pilots looking for work.

This is not necessarily true at all. Based on what I've heard of Jack and Elon, they work 16+ hours a day. I think that's the answer.

The simple answer is the browser as a platform stalled for ten years or so (the "Flash Era"). It's only very recently that real work was put into adding new capabilities like video playback (See the WHATWG conflict). Beyond

I really wish browsers could leverage this for caching across origins. If my copy of jQuery has the same SHA256 as another file the user has already downloaded, there's no need to load it again

I wonder what happens if you try to charge them for a ride which costs more than you have in your account. They require a $25 balance, but you can certainly go on much more expensive rides.

Assuming that Didi didn't have the resources to expand into the US directly (and god knows Lyft isn't going into China any time soon), I think this is a great deal. It allows Didi to maintain a reasonable modicum of pressure on U

It seems pretty logical to me that we would treat people who want to learn to fly without landing differently than a teenager who builds a clock.

This would be fantastically niche and tech-person-oriented, probably not the right move for the company as a whole. That said, nothing stops you from writing a bot on top of Twitter to power any of these interactions.
