Doesn't a chewable "food bar" kind of ruin the original point of their first product? They'll claim the first part is the true product, but the "food bar" is for when you don't have time, but you still want the soylent "experience" or whatever drat marketing they probably use.

The idea is that you do your staring at computer screen job for 14 hours a day and have no cognitive capacity to think about food or other basic survival needs, and soylent will provide you the food need in either a drinkable or chewable format

Saying Lyft is better than Uber is the drat lowest bar to clear. They engage in the same practices, only they're a lot more discrete about it. e: Lyft is probably counting their blessings right now that Uber is taking all the heat and allowing them to do stuff that their main userbase approves of all while screaming "IGNORE THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN". iospace fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Apr 19, 2017 |

Look soon we'll all be watching the Golden State Warriors win their 7th championship through our VR headsets while riding in a self-driving Uber car while sipping on our favorite flavor of Soylent drink that was delivered via Amazon drone and it will be cool ok

Also the Uber CEO guy basically allowing company HQ to be an unaltered sexual harassment factory. Also the Uber CEO guy responding to the San Fran City Council's anger at him sending self-driving cars around the city without getting a permit and even though they'd been caught repeatedly running red lights with what amounted to, "gently caress you we're not a taxi company so we can do whatever".

The "can't play Kanter" clip is probably the nail in the coffin in what was already a long-shot series for the Thunder. He's the only player besides the Russ that could do damage on offense. The Rockets don't have anyone who can guard him in the post and he can hurt them on the offensive glass, but if he's giving up 20 or so points worth of uncontested layups on the other end, he's still a net negative on the floor.

https://medium.com/@VivekRanadive/from-space-city-to-atos-sacramento-will-lead-the-nation-in-autonomous-vehicles-19449d215433quote:History also positions Sacramento to be a leader in the new economy. Remember that, in less than a decade, the world’s largest bookseller grew to have no book stores, the largest music seller to have no music stores, the largest taxi company to have no cars and the largest hotel company to own no hotel rooms. This new era is what I call “Civilization 3.0.” While Civilization 1.0 was the beginning of modern civilization, where the economy largely consisted of skilled laborers selling products to the people who lived near them, the industrial revolution sparked Civilization 2.0. Inventions like electricity and factory lines made labor more efficient, allowing for faster change than we ever thought possible. And now faster, more abundant access to data is ushering in a Civilization 3.0 economy, where ideas and experiences are the most important assets, and people can demand nearly anything in real time.

BWV posted:Hey this is Murph calling in on a mobile. Are the Celtics the worst number 1 seed in NBA history? Thanks guys, I'll take my answer off the air. Well, the 1955 Syracuse Nationals did have a lower SRS. Rick posted:I have seen the Bulls play enough this season that I'm still fairly confident that this is going to result in the Bulls losing the next four while shooting 30% the rest of the series. They look different from the regular season. They look like they actually care. They were hiding their true powers all along. Crazy Ted posted:Reminder: the inventor and CEO of Soylent literally thinks that going to the grocery store is a sensory-overload attack on the brain and that it can trigger PTSD. He also orders clothes direct from Chinese factories, wears them once, throws them away, and then orders a new set because he thinks washing clothes wastes too much water and his method of clothing himself is better for the environment.
