That's interesting. I'm going to stop posting today. I don't need these trolls "slagging" me for every little comment. It will be interesting to see who they go after next.

I thought that Uber was in the business of losing money.
The unicorn strategy is get bought out by a larger company or lose money until investors figure out it's a scam. Uber might be too big to buy out.
Since we see so many articles about how their drivers so underpaid that they're also losing money, I say that puts them in the same business as Uber.
Or they're a different class of unicorn investors with all their eggs in Uber and/or Lyft.

If drivers were working on the app, that would be a different story. As it is, they're just a different class of users.

Retirees (mostly baby boomers) will outnumber workers (everyone else) in 2030 and for the rest of the century. We don't need more colleges when we need more hospitals. So, yeah.

I guess that explains why YouTube doesn't shut down websites that re-host entire channels using HTML code. It's not scraping if the data doesn't require authentication.

Not quite. You will get a dirty look at the Genius Bar if you bring in a four-year-old iPhone 6S for a battery replacement.

The original meeting location was at the Alien Visitor Center, an alien-themed whorehouse, that is 100+ miles away from Area 51. The whorehouse was what tipped everyone off that the Facebook page was a parody. Otherwise, the Alien Research Center in Hiko, NV, which is hosting it's own event, is closer to Area 51.
