if apple did this by just getting rid of uberx/whatever other stupid garbage there is and only kept uber black going with properly licensed drivers, that would own

"sexist shithead" is the correct interpretation

to understand why vcs are so horrible you need to understand that most of their money comes from people even worse than they are, you need to be an awful toxic dude to be able to relate to the lovely ancient billionaires who fund the vc firms in the first place

the correct response would be to replace him with a woman but to the best of my knowledge there's exactly one woman partner at a valley vc firm and IIRC she works at kleiner perkins

sometimes when my wife has other plans I just take the free dinner at work because it's easier than making food for myself. when I was single I did it a lot more often. but never stay after eating and work more, that's a trap.

it's a "benefit" intended specifically to get people to stick around a little longer and work more.

We have fairly flexible schedules where I work. One of the people I work with has his work schedule dedicated entirely to avoiding his kids.
