in this particular case though, the author provides zero evidence that the crime wasnt committee. he hints that the guy was mentally not all there or "insane".

i think Uber is mostly responsible for this trend precisely because they compete with yellow/green taxi's and continously drive down prices. lower prices for consumers mean its an easy decision to choose an Uber vs drive yourself when drunk.

>> Males were significantly more likely than females to list romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, and this discrepancy increased as men aged—males on the younger end of the spectrum were four times more likely than females to report romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, whereas those on the older end of the spectrum were ten times more likely to do the same.

any ideas on how to get around Netflix's block? use a different VPS provider?

so it looks like JPM might have written off "blockchain"?

Most top banks use Citrix technology (or similar virtual desktops) to stream workstations for employees accessing both locally and remotely, so the only way you can get data out is by using your phone to take photos.

I could see how many people could jump to conclusions about Uber after reading the original blog post. However, by headcount- it is a medium to large company at this point while at the same time has an uncertain future and still taking big bets. I could see how that could cause chaos in some or all areas of the company.

Maybe- the blog post provide one point of view into Silicon Valley culture/gender dynamics. Maybe- this culture often exists within engineering departments of elite companies (vs the business/marketing/sales side).

There are a lot of moving parts in the original post: HR department acting unprofessionally, manufactured performance reviews and awkward IM's.

I've encountered situations where new employees just didn't fit in well with their coworkers, for a variety of reasons. They typically don't last long as employees. Usually a year or less.

Call me skeptical but I find it hard to believe that the guy behind "Inside Airbnb" is without outside help from entrenched interests opposing Airbnb. His website is obviously well made and his data is accurate but the cynic in me believes that the hotel lobby is helping him or funding him one way or another.

The lobby is funding political candidates in New York State from both political parties and they're creating ridiculous anti-airbnb ad spots like "Save the Moguls". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yHRy7Hn2qg

The hospitality industry has long held a stronghold in NYC due to short supply and strong demand growth. Now, hotels are popping up everywhere, especially in neighborhoods where Airbnb dominates, such as Brooklyn. The number of hotel rooms in NYC was 70k in 2010 and has now risen to 100-110k. 85% of which are in Manhattan. During the 9-10 month long peak season, hotel rooms go for $300-400/night. Airbnb rooms are around half the price of a hotel room.

Another group widely cited as anti-Airbnb are the "fair housing" activists. Their complaint is that Airbnb is driving rents up and pushing residents out of the city. The reality is that if Airbnb is affecting the rental market, the net effect is no more than $30-40 per month (rough calc: assuming 10k apartments are taken off the market in NYC as per "Inside Airbnb", with an non-stabilized rental supply of 900k units and avg rent 3k/unit). The housing activists are doing next to nothing about that fact that virtually all new residential real estate in Manhattan and Brooklyn is aimed at the luxury market. A substantial portion of said market is being bought up by foreign nationals looking to park their money. "Fair housing" activists sounds like a false flag.

Paris & NYC are Airbnb's two biggest markets. Airbnb is fighting trench warfare- the good news is that in many ways, they've already won the hearts and wallets of their guests and hosts. The boutique hospitality market is already looking for ways to mimic the feel of Airbnb rooms and attempting to emulate "belonging" for travelers who are sick of generic looking hotel rooms.

The reality of course is somewhere in between the two points of view. In my opinion, the lower price point Airbnb hosts provide tourists is expanding demand to other economic levels and freeing up tourists' spending capital for local businesses while in-country.

At the end of the day, even though the battle is not over, this is certainly a win for the tech industry. Showing the world that technology can solve problems that previously required strong regulations. More "sharing economy" companies will continue chipping away at stagnant industries for generations to come.

I prioritize sleep as I think thats the single best way to live a long life and to have a healthy brain. After all, for most us, its our livelihood and I'm hoping I can avoid serious neurological diseases and disorders just by getting a full night's rest as often as possible.

History really does rythme.

This is great advice

in reality, antitrust provisions really need to kick in. even in nyc, time warner dominates and has local monopolies in many buildings.

given the above, I suspect that even if the Model S' brakes kicked in, they still would not have saved him. Unless the driver was asleep at the wheel or otherwise distracted.

regarding your spreadsheet, it doesn't take into account seasonality. factors such as weather and tourist activity certainly affect revenue.

if you take the total revenue in months Jan-June 2015 and compare them to the same time period in 2014, the delta is -8%. if you look at the last datapoint and compare to the first, you get a drop of 1%.
