boss said that he once was at a talk given by an angel investor that said that out of 100 companies he did due diligence in and thought that they were all likely to make money he did no better than choosing (prescreened) start ups at random hence the current insanity

qntm posted:hmm, this says nothing about how many of those 100 companies actually made any money i forget the actual numbers it was something like 30 were a complete loss, 30 scraped along breaking even, 30 made decent money and 10 paid for the complete losses ratios probably completely wrong

Notorious b.s.d. posted:in which case you have to call a local dispatcher regardless, because there won't be random drivers with whatever mobile app in the cabin you're getting to the real problem uber (and jitneys) addressed which is the dispatcher saying "lol no" or worse telling you the cab will be there soon but the driver ignores the request and you never get your ride uber's user interaction with the app is nice, just punch in where you want to go and the request button and you get feedback that something is actually happening. there's nothing about the service that requires them to break the law by not having commercially licensed and insured drivers

Citizen Tayne posted:it's interesting that they charged the passenger with "using a vehicle without authority" instead of what he did, stealing it. stealing requires the intent to keep it, the joyriding charge should be a much easier charge to prove. the real meat i'd think is the assault/battery charges?
