This Uber company makes me so angry.
I go to the Hacker News and I always see bad things about them.
I just want to scream!
What are they even doing for society—aside from employing hundreds of thousands of people and reducing drunk driving deaths.
Doesn’t this stupid company realize that there are 500 angry journalists and technologists who don’t care about those two things.
I first met Martin over a skype call and he was very humble—his identity online is just a brand.
2 years later, I stumbled into him again and asked him for advice on affording a cancer drug for a relative. He helped me find the charities and also introduced me to a contact at the pharma company.
This is an absurd accusation. I've seen plenty of VCs try to recruit developers of companies that they've met with or even invested in. The Valley is tiny and it happens all the time. Moreover, not all this information is communicated to every partner, especially as it relates to seed deals.
The real irony of these threads on HN: no one has ever run a social network. If they did, they would realize that mixing pseudonyms with real names is a formula for disaster. It’s probably the easiest way to continuously bother someone and troll groups to no end.
