I wonder if this will get fixed anytime soon. Doesn't seem like the kind of thing that will be high priority for Google Play.

How does this kind of thing leak? When the last company I was at sold, most of us weren't even told for fear our acquirer would get cold feet if the terms leaked.

That's assuming the bus would only be converting drivers and not other forms of commuters.

I have a fifteen minute walk to work. If there was a convenient bus that cut that in half, I would use it. I used to ride the subway to work. That took about 40 minutes. I would definitely consider using a bus instead if the circumstances were right.

This was my take away. I just figured the people who need this product would understand. I'm still really confused.

Could YCombinator offer feedback to applicants with the requirement that the applicant gives up their right to sue?

> A lot of people are homeless. Every year I visit it’s increasing. Maybe I am using the wrong streets. I am surprised there’s no startup to fix this.

Do we really think startups are the silver bullet to solve all of the world's problems?

I would imagine their accounting requires it to be before because they are the ones processing the transactions.
