All they do is to lay off people. some might say that facebook had to face the same stock performance like what uber is facing right now after the IPO. But facebook atleast didnt lay off people, made clever acquistions like instagram, whatsapp and f...Read more
Lyft reported another solid quarter but the stock tanked after hours and I candidly struggle to understand what they offer that Uber doesn’t? Lyft seems to be a one trick ride share pony that is destined for obsolescence once level 3 autonomous is ubiquitous. Uber on the other hand owns drizzly, l...Read more
