i meant the exact same statement "It never fucking ends with this company" ..This same user puts this exact same response on every post. Uber deserves it or not is not even the question. I am just curious if there are bots on HN.

Is this a bot which comments exact same thing on every Uber story? Just an observation because of how most of your comments make sense but every uber story has exact same question.

Whether Lyft treats drivers better is very debatable. After 180 days of change campaign that Uber did many drivers believed Uber is better for them than Lyft. But Lyft also takes smaller cut of fare compared to Uber (Lyft also charges way l

There might be a reason for many of those not being H1B holders. If you are H1B holder your ability to stay in country is tightly bond to your employer. You are completely dependent on your employment to stay legally in US and hardly have a

If so then they should mentioned incidences which lead to this suspicion. Both mayor and uber has failed to make it clear what the reason of contention is between them. The rules which uber is not following should have been listed instead o

Can they thought ? The whole gig economy model depends on not treating service providers as employees. The reason for ban does not specifically say what regulations were not followed. It mentions uber did not report crimes . Well I don&#x27

There is no proof of that being used in London. Also all the drivers in London are certified drivers.

Since we don't have full disclosure of what tread secrets uber is being accused of but it is a general knowledge that it revolves around Grizzle bear 3 circuit board design. There had been two recent stories which tried to portray that

From what I have read on driver subreddits Lyft takes far shorter time like 2 days to approve drivers as opposed to Uber which takes 2 weeks.

Except same people drive for both companies. There is a very tiny fraction of drivers driving for just one. And in general they make more money using Uber because of quests (bonus after finishing certain rides per day). The experience depen

This is such a click bait. The author provides no real proof for the title except for "a source close to Uber thinks the path still exists for Travis to come back." He is the founder the path is always going to exist. I do not dou

Also being cyclist in NYC these yellow cab drivers are your worst enemies. I have almost got ran over more than once. You can listen to them moan about cyclists if you have been in enough yellow cabs. Having biked around in city for a while

This is the first down voted to absolute transparency comment I have ever seen. Although what he is saying is very extreme. There are certain scandals which I was pretty pissed off about but there were other "scandals" i felt were

Being pro-Uber here is like being a downvote magnet so yes I do maintain an account for non-technical comments. Also I do not try to condone their bad behavior; I am very amazed by what they had achieved by disrupting the taxi industry. I s

I am only referring to this person's tone being unlike most of the people on this forum. "GROSS" "burn Uber down to ground". It is concerning how angry this person is. Also yes the car ran the signal, it was bad the

Your comments come off as if you are more bitter about some company you can just choose to ignore than benchamark is about Travis.

weren't they suspended? Also i doubt they coded it in their software to break the signal , can't believe you just implied that. It surely was a bug in software and I hope they got fined for it and took steps to fix it. Testing sel

I think Uber's execution got them the market share they have (which btw is a huge achievement by any means) but lost them the time to build a decent culture.

As much as you and many on the HN like it. Ship is not sinking at least not any time soon. If all they wanted was a way out why tarnish their own image by filing this law suit and make benchmark look less founder-friendly and supposedly cre

This story was published 8 months ago and yet there is not a single other country where Lyft has expanded. Also Uber already faces heavy competition oversees. I suspect most of the money they are losing is because of their desire for world

Your criticism of company is one thing but thinking that they are not lasting longer than 6 months is a complete oversight on your part of how dominant they are in market or how many new markets they are trying to enter. No one cares about

You are ignoring the fact that regulations which protected taxis would not allow ride sharing companies like uber or lyft to exist. Uber made it possible to have those car sharing companies.Taxis are awful in so many cities. It is impossi
