You mean like SF where there’s no looting?

The whole story is fake

Apparently this was an urban legend. Good movie idea but not accurate

If you see a headline like this you know we’re not close at all

The broader trend is SF

No, just that SF is full of crime.

> lithium can be recycled
It can’t. This is an extremely energy intensive process that produces toxic waste products.
It’s a fantasy.

I assume you don’t live near a lithium mine
bblpeter | 3 years ago | on: Australia is quitting coal in record time thanks to Tesla
Do you know that after your lithium battery degrades, it’s toxic waste?
bblpeter | 3 years ago | on: Australia is quitting coal in record time thanks to Tesla
Quitting coal mining in exchange for lithium mining? That’s like saying an addict is healthy because he quit heroin in exchange for being hooked on fentanyl.

> but unless you're doing something about it
Explaining that SF is not safe is actually doing something. Because believe it or not, many people still think this violence and crime is no big deal.

Would have to agree

I want it tied to a good business. I’d tie my wealth to Google (when they were the same age as Uber), whether I’m the CEO there or not. It doesn’t matter because it’s a great business. If Travis is selling then he agrees it’s a bad business.

That’s the problem with Slack — too easy to switch to equivalent or superior alternatives. I suspect this issue will continue to weigh on their stock price.

Simulate yes. But not understand.

Sure but then a computer doesn’t understand its own simulation so it’s apples and oranges
bblpeter | 6 years ago | on: Travis Kalanick Is Exiting His Uber Holdings Uber Quickly
So it can only succeed if he’s steering it? Doesn’t sound like a good business
bblpeter | 6 years ago | on: Travis Kalanick Is Exiting His Uber Holdings Uber Quickly
If Uber can only succeed with him in charge, and nobody else, then it’s not a very good let alone realistic business is it?
bblpeter | 6 years ago | on: Travis Kalanick Is Exiting His Uber Holdings Uber Quickly
Not really. He already has enough money to live for a million lifetimes in luxury. There would be no reason to diversify at this point, unless of course he thinks Uber is doomed.
