I've had the complete opposite experience. I've tried almost every food delivery app, and what I've found is that Uber Eats is the most reliable, longest open at night and best value for price food delivery service in my area (SF).

A trend I've noticed from lurking and browsing these comments: commenters who have experience taking risk and operating under existential conditions in stressful, budget constrained companies (AKA, startup founders) tend to be critical of the GDPR.

Commenters who work as 9-5 employees or have never started a company (or at least, don't mention as having done so in their profiles) tend to be more supportive of the GDPR.

Funny how that works..

There's no way they raised $660M. Even $66M would be pushing it. I hope TechCrunch edits this article with a more accurate number.

Filecoin and Tezos both raised about $200M and were considered massive ICOs, not to mention they happened in the wealthiest countries on earth and were heavily backed by institutional investors. It's simply impossible that an obviously scammy ICO in a relatively poor country raised $660M.

I don't see the word 'IQ' mentioned anywhere in that article. And yet, it's the single biggest determinant of lifetime success. Unfortunately, it's also highly heritable, so environmental interventions have a fairly marginal effect on it.

I'm a big fan of Peter Thiel, and of anyone who's a divergent thinker and has well thought out opinions that run contrary to mainstream ideology (e.g., Noam Chomsky).

If YC ended its relationship with Peter because of his political affiliations, I'd find that extremely unfortunate. Any institution which closes itself off to outside information, challenging viewpoints and diversity of thought risks becoming an ideological echo chamber and ultimately weakening itself in the long run.

Another day, another mainstream media publication shilling hysterical articles about Russia. My pet theory is that it's a big collective act of psychological sublimation to compensate for the shock of Hillary losing.

I also find it ironic that the Chinese Communist Party, an institution which is at least on par with Russia in terms of shadiness and social repression, receives barely an iota of the flak that Russia receives in the American media.

This article's dumb. 8 men control half the world's wealth? All of a sudden the word 'bodega' is racist? Too many white men contributing value is 'problematic'? Articles like this are the reason why Trump won.
