> how little credit is given to GPS in Uber's story

Uber would not exist without GPS. I wonder how many other of the unicorns:

* Twitter without Rails

* Facebook without PHP (I think this is fair but maybe not)

* Reddit without Python

* Tesla and Solar City without huge government subsidies

Crazy to think how many Lake Tahoe vacation homes were transferred thanks to these projects.
