If you had bothered to read my post..."On a different magnitude". In India and Bangladesh there is recorded history of hundreds of thousands of deaths. The book sources these facts, if you want to invalidate anything I suggest you

I was under the impression you were the parent I initially replied to. I apologise. So in regards to your question, AA has been disastrous around the world. In India and Bangladesh hundreds of thousands of deaths, people burning each other

"One is what one does, not intends" I couldn't agree more. Travis (and the team) has created $51bn of market value, provided cheaper and more efficient transportation to tens of millions of people in hundreds of cities all ar

I have yet to see any 'evidence', or personal insight. Yet you seem to think you understand a man, whom you've never met nor interacted with, and his deep personal motivations. Based upon his 'public persona'. You d

Uber is doing 10x more revenue and 20x more bookings(last time I saw stats, which was 1-2 years ago)

I'd suggest you read the book, it's only 200 pages and I can't summarise it in one sentence. It's sad that someone down voted me for suggesting a book which has voluminous facts and history. Human progress is building

Have you actually seen the history of Affirmative Action? I'd suggest you read 'Affirmative Action around the world' by Thomas Sowell. There's a plethora of sources and facts packed onto every page, very enlightening.

If anyone here wants to know about the long history of Affirmative Action you should definitely read "Affirmative Action Around the World" by Thomas Sowell. Can't sing enough praise about it. Sourced incredibly And clear logi

What evidence do you have to support this? What personal knowledge to do you have to support this? What accompanying expertise do you have to support this? It's odd to me that people with (assumingly) no knowledge on the matter feel th

It's the worldwide presence where Uber had the massive advantage. If Didi/Ola/Lyft/Others decide to merge/parter only than will they stand a chance.

Yep. I'd rather have a MOOC-esque course where you can be certain the quality of eduction will permeate to the areas where quality education is scarce.

The average is meaningless. Venture capital follows the power law. The top 5-10 firms in the U.S. will realise 95%+ of the returns for the entire industry. The Benchmarks, Sequoias, A16Z, etc. The top companies only want to go with the top

Where'd you get the stats on Nextdoor? Really thought they'd have more than 1mm DAU's.

Vital discussion which needs to be had, especially with the recent events and announcements from many tech companies.

Ideas do matter, there are a lot of useless ideas. Good ideas _alone_ don't matter if you can't execute. Either way it's helpful to know what field OP wants to work in, especially when trying to find a cofounder.

Not worse, just not any better. The use case was, for me, fragmented into many other services. Evernote was sort of my second brain before, not any more.

Used to use Evernote 10+ times per day. Now it's a few times a week at most. Seems the product has stayed stagnant for a while now.

Billions of dollars a year already go into cancer research. Infinite funding != faster progress. I'd say the allocation of capital has been fairly efficient. Uber will be doing self driving vehicles(among other companies), and that wil

>My concern is, do heads roll at the FBI and U.S. Attorney's office after a failure like that? Is there accountability? Who's going to hold them accountable? Those who fund them have no choice in the matter, so it's naive

That's awesome. How many hours per week would you say you work on it?

This sentence is contradictory. A free market doesn't work efficiently when it's 'controlled'. That's not a free market.

How much revenue do you have?

Are you being sarcastic? These are _interventions_ in the free market.

>The thing that amazes me the most about Uber is the flagrant disregard of local laws, and the lack of repercussions. Amazes me as well. The extent to which corruption was rampant all around the world in the same industry.
