> $120 Billion valuation on $2.6 billion in annual revenue?

That number is quarterly revenue (and as you say does not include the share the driver takes)

Great tool

If I can feature request, would love to see city/local taxes accounted for, especially with the SALT deduction removed.

Good work!!

>It's why places like Planet Fitness are able to offer $10/month unlimited memberships.

That model is far different though

For each Planet Fitness, much of the cost is upfront. That is, they have to buy the property, renovate (or build), and then buy all the machines. Yes there are increased maintenance costs as more people join the gym, but cost per user should decrease with each additional membership.

For MoviePass, for each user they have to pay for the price of each movie ticket they go to. Thus their costs increase proportionally to the number of subscribers. Unless each additional user they sign up goes to the movies less than the average MoviePass user, Cost per user doesn't decrease.

Not really.

Yes Lyft has gained some marketshare in the past 6 months. But Uber still dominates the US rideshare market (Uber by public accounts still has greater than 70% Market Share). Uber dominates in several other regions (Western Europe, Latin America) and is competing in several other huge markets (India and SouthEast Asia). Uber also has significant stakes in the dominant ride hailing companies in China and Russia.

This is not to diminish what Lyft has done. They're successful company. But they are in no way seeing more long term success compared to Uber as of today

While I don't doubt the rest of the article, I will say as a former Uber intern (this past summer) the vast majority of us were not overworked. I (and most of my fellow Uber interns) worked between 40-50 hours a week, and we were paid hourly (with overtime being paid at 1.5x base pay).

Awesome idea/execution.

One issue with HN that I constantly run into is that I might miss an interesting article because each submission (30 on each page) look so similar. Your approach (where at most 4 articles appear within my browser at once) allows me to take more time to consider whether I should read each article.

Well done!!

> Probably because they have a solid workflow already based on a React tool chain - so why not?

Can confirm, lot of Uber's web infrastructure is modeled around React

*EDIT: To be clear offers from Uber

hence the FWIW ;)

FWIW, I've had a few friends receive entry level offers (as software engineers) recently and they all had no deadline to accept
