Couldn't an uber hold two (or more) passengers for at least some of the trips, reducing the total number of cars?

Actually: that could work for any of them, some sort of "car-pool" arrangement?

quote:

Leaving the Andreessen Horowitz party, and unable to get a car in the pouring rain, Chris Messina and his friends found a creative solution. Messina, a well-known tech figure who until recently was an executive at Uber, hopped in a taxi that turned out to be occupied. The passenger, sitting shotgun, graciously allowed the group to squeeze in the back. It became a carpool, or as Messina declared, a makeshift UberPool.

he lived/lives in Larry Pages guest mansion when he leaves his Malibu estate to visit the Bay Area for business because he doesn’t own property here for whatever reason he has

so after being homeless, he gave up his car for science. what a generous man :allears:

ah, two of the companies our management has explicitly stated that they aspire to be like. and the positive talk from them about theranos came AFTER all the fraud came out, because "they had some great ideas and would have been really disruptive!"

i kind of want to check in with our director who spoke in glowing terms about Theranos even after they had collapsed. he took the position that it didn't matter that their product couldn't work, because it would have been incredibly disruptive if it did work. coincidentally, i am interviewing for other jobs!

they're really not very different at all. obviously with 3/4 personalities changing, it's not exactly the same, but it feels pretty similar in tone, and it didn't seem like the quality really changed or anything.
