if there's one thing to be said for Uber it at least forced the archaic taxi systems in the cities to try and step up their game. NYC yellow cabs now have their own app called Arro that hails and pays for them, and I'm sure other cities are working on their own competitors

Shifty Pony posted:If I remember correctly Silicon Valley had a hell of a time fleshing out a startup hhackathon/accelerator/meetup whatever because nearly every stupid idea and name they could think of was already an actual startup.

We like to call this phenomenon "gentrification"

That's how I feel about paid music services like spotify and google play. I could freely download whatever songs I want without much difficulty, but it's worth the fee to not ever have to bother with that and just have everything I want to listen to available at any time

FWIW the 3 year minimum experience for every entry level position is often not true at all and shouldn't discourage you from applying to a company.
