...lets report every bug and make an article about it. My iPhone rebooted randomly yesterday when I was on the subway. Anyone else found a bug in any of the software they use?
Marketing. They have 6,700 employees all over the world. They have offices all over the world to handle accounting/marketing/support. That costs money. I know Slashdotters think they can whip up a few shell scripts and call it a business, but the real world doesn't work that way.
Taxi companies are corrupt and in bed with the local politicians. I don't want those "rules". Go stuff your "rules". They don't help the common man, but only serve the politicians and their cronies.
Uber has actually made money in certain financial quarters. Webvan and Pets.com didn't. Uber rates can go up and people will still use them: what is the alternative? Uber rates would need to DOUBLE in order to be close to what classic taxi services charge. There is a lot of room. Saying that X lost money, thus Y will is silly.
I would still love to be one of those private investors. Uber is going to be huge. It already is. Although Slashdotters like to whine about it, Uber has improved taxi service for the common person. Yes, Uber is a taxi service. And yes, it is cleaner, safer, more efficient and cheaper than other taxi services. And stop the bullshit claim that the drivers are getting ripped off: if that were true then they wouldn't be doing it. Uber drivers aren't idiots.
Good idea. No one would ever dare to sue any corporation, because if they lost they would be broke after paying the legal fees of the corporate lawyers. Corporations would rule everything!
We don't really have tech conventions anymore. Now it is just shiny demos of half-assed ideas to grab quick VC cash instead of having to get a real job.

What excuse? It is a bug. Jesus Christ.
I just plugged in my Kindle and nothing happened. Does that mean we can retract this "article"?
No, and Microsoft hasn't ported all your PS4 games either.
My tablet reboots every time I pair it with my set of bluetooth headphones. Can I get a story about that?
You can: choose Linux.
These "self driving" cars HAVE TWO DRIVERS in them. So if anything, they create jobs. haha. You won't be seeing driverless cars any time soon (ever).

They produce a warmer sound too.
20% in the last 5 years? Um, that is a terrible investment.
It won't happen. These "self driving" cars HAVE TWO FUCKING DRIVERS in them!

Yet they have made money in previous quarters. Therefore what you are saying is complete shit.

Uh huh. Everyone else is too stupid to figure it out, but you are so clever you have "figured it out". Classic slashdotter.
I love people like you. You think everyone else is so stupid to do their job. Uber drivers aren't stupid. But thanks for caring so much!

1) Driverless cars are NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
2) Uber is at the forefront of autonomous cars.

Because both articles have numbers in the title.
When did THIS happen? Work together rather than fight? Are you from Earth?

Uh, "Y Combinator Demo Day" is put on for VCs. What do you think it is for?
...if it really worked, people would keep it a secret and wouldn't try or need to get VC money to fund it.
I'm not sure. I'll investigate and let you know.
