They can be successful at it at scale because they already have a massive supply of drivers that they can allocate to rides or picking up food.

Amazon’s food delivery failed and closed last month. Caviar was sold to Doordash. Postmates is struggling.

it's literally $325 right now so what's not correct?

i mean it's a big reason why snapchat is worth what it is today.

edit: by that i mean, it's a big reason why they got a lot of their users.

Gilt is a poor example because it's a nearly out of business discount shop. but Mr porter and most online stores will offer free shipping and returns. The exception are a lot of brand specific pages - 7formankind i always found to be really bad. But try all the hundreds of boutique web stores - i've never seen them charge for return shipping.

Why would this be an illegal one? It has the potential to be a big force one day but nothing near that now and WF and grocery delivery both have lots of competition.

No. That's what out of touch adults in tech thought.

They prob cant fire him but they can say that hes a big punching bag right now and bringing extra negative attention and he needs a break.

lyft somewhat had first mover advantage in SF. Uber had first mover advantage in every other city. Uber already existed in SF and was doing black car rides and a lot of people in NY/SF knew of it - which Uber used to leapfrog Lyft's first move advantage.

Football is much more tough than hockey and needs recovery time. Hockey is tough but Football you have running backs/WRs getting hit on every other play. You have the QB getting knocked down 3-5 times a game. The the offensive line is having a pushing and hand war with the defensive line on every single play while playing strategically and covering additional players. The WRs have to sprint on every play. And for special teams you have the opposite team running at you as you run at them.

i don't get this. You get a better view of the game on tv (multi-angles, commentary, etc.). You go to arenas for the experience, of getting there beforehand, tailgating, going with your friends/kids. You get a worse view but you get a better experience. Why would you use VR for a worse view without the experience?

that's true but it limits the growth potential and reach. Let Snapchat take a good portion of the teen market, while FB goes after everyone else.

because you want to incentivize homebuying. Homebuying isn't just an investment. When your mortgage is paid off, it also means your cost of living when you can no longer work is much lower. It also means that you're less likely to be homeless or rely heavily on social services when you can no longer work. Homebuying also spurs a MASSIVE industry of homebuilding, and home furnishing, upgrading, etc.
