From what I know, the IPAT still exists. Had to take it in 2015 for a co-op with IBM.

Reading Forbes now and getting a seizure are the same thing. Mini video with autoplay that either doesn't have a close button or I can't figure out how to close it combined with ads.

This is on top of only allowing new users to watch four movies per month.

Cinemark has a 8.99 a month plan where you get one movie credit per month, and they roll over the credit if you don't use it. That's starting to sound like a far better offer.

If its a self updating address book, then LinkedIn would essentially serve your purposes, but one could argue that LinkedIn has the same problems that Facebook does.

This was my problem with the article. It assumes that people own vehicles for the sole purpose of driving for Uber/Lyft. Costs like maintenance, insurance, and repairs are arguably costs that every car owner has to pay for.

I find so many things wrong with this article.

This is coming from Indeed, which is a job searching site. I think its fair to infer that younger people would always look for jobs more than older people since younger people are just getting out of college and/or trying to figure out what really interests them by job hopping. I would imagine an older developer that has already his/her interests figured out, and has a network built out would visit a site like Indeed less.

I'm only 26, so you would think that I'm the "prime" years of my career, but I work for a large enterprise tech company, where I'm the only one under 40 on my team. I would say the average age overall is around 40 for the people that sit around me. They all seem to like place they work, and much more relaxed about their career future compared to me or my friends that are still deciding what we want to do.

It transfers files to your phone via Wifi. So technically it does have connection to the outside world.

The user experience is why I use Uber.

User experience is why I avoid Uber. I've only used ride hailing services at airports, and Uber drivers tended to be very aggressive on the roads compared to Lyft or regular cab drivers. I had one driver miss an exit on a freeway, and then proceed to REVERSE on the freeway to get back to the exit. That about sealed it for me with Uber.

Current enterprise programmer. Former startup employee here.

I agree that it is quite different at startups. The startup environment felt basically a glorified college environment compared to the large company culture. With that said, I would image eventually all startups have to grow up and embrace enterprise-style processes. Facebook is the example that comes to mind. When they first started, the followed the "Move fast and break things" mantra, but as they aged and took on more and more users, they had to change and become a company that valued reliability over new features. I believe their current mantra is "Move Fast With Stable Infra."?
