  I spent a good couple minutes trying to figure out what the illegal crab company is. I might need glasses.

  …motherfuckers are upvoting a crosspost from POLITICALMEMES in what is supposed to be a shitposting community. Y’all are fucking masochists.

    Surelly it’s at minimum a post about shit.

    My thought is that it’s devoid of nuance (part of what makes it funny) so therefore it’s shitty?

      It’s designed to piss of pro-AI folks. The trolling is what makes it a shitpost.

    I only use Lenny from the toilet on company time. By this definition, everything is a shit post…

    years ago, a big boss of an evil hotel company I worked was doing a AMA and got asked “where do we draw the line on ethics?”. His answer was “at the end of the day, if you don’t feel comfortable telling your mother what you did today, then don’t do it” I loved this answer and used this very often.

    Then a few months later, he directly made us work on the dirtiest geopricing / yelding features I ever saw. I guess the real question to ask during that day was “where do your mother draw the line on ethics?”

      maybe his mother died?

      You should have called his mother and explained it to her and asked if she agreed?

      That’s where he draws the line on ethics… for everyone else.

  I love how you all still screech over Airbnb even after all the data has shown they aren’t raising your mortgage and that bull crap.

  I love Airbnb and Uber Lyft. The taxi industry DESERVED a good fucking. 90% of them scumbags who couldn’t show up on time and were actively trying to rip you off. Scumbag class and I’m happy Uber forced some accountability in the ride services sector. It’s a billion times better and service has improved GREATLY in the states.

    I’d like to see all the data about Airbnb. My knowledge of Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Rome tells a different story.

      While none of these are definitive I think they paint a pretty decent picture that they are pros and cons. The rising price of mortgages are conflated with renovations and economic growth. This growth tends to be in local growth, not corporations. With home values being tied to value there are some expected cons to this as well. 

      It’s a complex model and instead of making them the Boogeyman we should understand the positive and negatives.

    Your statement defies supply and demand. Maybe take an economics course.

    Uber is horribly exploitative of their drivers.

    And AirBNB is hated because it increases the landlord class.

    I don’t disagree that the taxi industry needed a good shaking, and Uber/Lyft have brought a lot of convenience and features to the party compared to a traditional taxi service, but that doesn’t automatically make Uber the good guys in the equation.

    Every teenager shouts “fuck regulations” until they get fucked over by an unregulated market. Case in point: 90% of crypto.
