When I switched from Ember to react what I missed the most was the two ways binding, the computed properties and the router. From dabbling in Vue.js it seems to have incorporated the best of both worlds. I read over some of the technical implementation and it seems pretty sane. It seems too good to be true and I am honestly wondering what is the catch. Everything I have read about vue has been very positive so far. I am curious what are some of the cons of using vue

Why are there so many Uber article on HN? The more I know the more upset I am with them.

I also find the fact that their new logo looks like an asshole very fitting

There are probably hundreds of senior execs, but Jeff Jones was the second in command... not just any senior execs

I totally agree with you. I don't think Uber would have a monopoly on self driving cars. In terms of the tech, they are definitely not ahead of e.g. Google. According to this TechCrunch article [1] their self driving cars require human intervention every minute.

More from the follow up tweets in regards to John's statement to Recode[1]:

Lyft's valuation is still 1/10th of Uber's. I don't think we need to worry too much about Uber going under anytime in the near future. Uber still has another 10B in the bank. As a consumer, I am supporting Lyft so that they might live another day to keep the competition going

It is a broken relationship that would be hard to fix. Uber doesn't even try to hide its intention to get rid of the drivers once it has its self driving cars fully deployed

To be fair, other CEOs are not constantly acting like a jerk to everyone. Maybe Travis will be more likable if he follows the footsteps of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg and pledge to give the majority of his wealth.

Uber pool is just a terrible experience in many levels

1. Many drivers think they make less if the passengers are using Uber pool. I am not sure if this is true or if they are confused. However, when they find out I am using pool they instantly turn passive aggressive and start complaining how they make nothing on a pool ride. They make me feel as if I am taking advantage of them.

2. Uber also tries to pack the car these days. A lot of times, it is probably much faster taking public transit than using pool. One time, my pool ride was just going around picking up people and 15 minutes later I was exactly a block from where I started. I got off the ride and Uber has the balls to charged me $10 for "cancelling". Decided to quit Uber on that very day. Will only ride public transit or Lyft these days

We are currently planning on switching from Navigator (https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/navigator.html) to React Navigation (https://reactnavigation.org/docs/intro/). After seeing Airbnb's React Native Navigation library, I am not sure what to choose any more.

React Navigation seems to be the framework that is endorsed by the react native team. However, Airbnb's React Native Navigation library seems to be more proven since they had been using it in production. I am wondering if anyone know what are the benefits of using React Native Navigation vs React Navigation

Virtu does high frequency trading so it makes sense that they don't have many down days. Also HFT strategies can have ridiculous sharpe ratios of like 100

Do you know any good ones in SF? I would love to meet them too.

I totally agree with you. I would love to meet some non-technical people who have practical experience. However, most of my friends are technical and I don't even know where to start looking.

I feel like I have the opposite problem. Most of the people I know are technical. What is the best way in SF to meet non-technical business minded people?
