You are right. Maybe I'm biased and a tad emotional. I was expecting more from Canada.
And the Juicero effect.
Correct. The 16 years old bit is for the driver license where, in north america, 16 is the minimal age to get it.
It's a long talk but https://youtu.be/ci4kbCmEmOI It's by James Whittaker. Basically people are downloading and using way less apps than a few years ago. Today to get the users to use something it has to be sortof…
It should be pretty easy to filter out, given that there will be a very strong correlation between length of the drive and rating. Passenger rating does matter when it comes to how fast you are getting your ride.
Uber drivers have fair wages, considering they are working in a saturated market and competing with people with the qualifications of a 16 years old teen. There are a lot of people with these qualifications.
I think it has to do with the traditional app model slowly being phased out. There is a huge saturation of apps on every major platform and it's getting harder and harder for new devs to get enough userbase that way.
It represent a backward country as these cases should never have happened in the first place. Also, the operation was lead by pretty much all of Canada's telcos. It's not an especially competitive market.
Doing any kind of business in non-USD currency is itself not a great move.
At least I'm pretty sure they (the cable companies) won't be able to use anything they got there in court. But let's be real for a moment, that man, if he sues, will get absolutely nothing in return. Still, it's about…

That's a shame. Curious, how do you normally figure out the phosphorus content ? Is there a guideline somewhere that gives you an adequate estimate ?
I've met people that were scared of Square as it "didn't look like a genuine POS". I guess using an iPad could make the consumer feel safer. Than again a "Pro" looking case for the Android tablet might also do the trick.
That's a shame. I didn't think of that specific use-case (only one or two apps for the whole life-cycle of the unit). I'm still curious to know if it would be cheaper to buy Android units anyways and replace them as…

I've seen a few companies do this. They save big on rent but the impact on productivity is evident. I guess they are rich enough to waste their employee's time to save a few square feet.
Other than a few headlines in the news has it really been that bad ? Bad enough to change a whole business plan ?
