More like 7-8 digit salary, in the case of the CEO's direct reports at Uber

And speed light cameras

What is a speed light camera?

I'm working on Travi, an AI-powered travel companion that helps travelers effortlessly discover the best attractions to check out based on their interests, and experience them through rich, immersive audio narratives.

You can check it out at https://TryTravi.com

Just saw a few of the clips from 101 and think you've curated pretty good content here. Even beyond initial learning, I like to revisit good content / lessons every now and then.

Any plans to add other subjects?

Hey thanks for checking it out!

I will add more subjects in the future, hopefully based on feedback - would you like to see more Business courses or more fun/creative ones (e.g. Home Cooking 101)?

I could see creative being fun, but if I had to upvote another area it would be health (nutrition, sleep, diet, etcl

Yup cooking and cleaning are great ones.

Also good on walks or commutes.

To compare apples to apples, I'm using download size like the article, not installed size.

The true beauty is in the inside.

Great. It’s a shame there’s so much outside

Why is this outrageous... Large non profit execs salaries need to be high enough to attract talent good enough to run operations of that size.

An engineering manager of a faang type company basically makes more money than most of these executives, so seems under compensated if anything for an organization of that size /importance.

Pretty sure the shock was in the other direction - "how can they be paid so low", which, seems obvious to me?

edit: nevermind, I see there was outrage in both directions. Obviously the people saying they are paid too much are out of touch with reality.

Uber will continue to grow in profatbility. As the platform matures and continues to grow in revenue, the overhead development cost will actually decline, not just as a percentage but as an absolute number as well.

Furthermore, Lyft being borderline bankrupt helps Uber take more advantage of the most profitable and largest market.

It's an app that matches drivers with riders or deliveries. There's not much to 'mature', so I doubt that they will grow much in profitability.

I can absolutely see this happening for transit companies like Waymo that are still in the maturation process of developing novel infrastructure.

Mature in a sense that Uber has invested billions in operations to get deals with cities & airports, developer legal expertise globally, and has technology that allows them to operate globally.

Saying Uber is "just an app" isn't a strong argument. It overlooks the marketplace dynamics that in themselves are a huge moat. You can also say "Instagram" is just an app.. But good luck trying to recreate that level of success.

It's similar to Tesla in this regard--a decade of losses from 2010-2020 and then -boom--huge cashflow once the infrastructure outlay and customer base acquisition pays off. 'Smart money' was right all along to keep buying the dips. Uber is a play on not only on transportation, but also Ai, logistics, delivery, etc. It's like Amazon in this regard.

Uber is just an app. Many Uber drivers have both Uber and Lyft open at the same time and choose the best one.

All it takes is a new app to offer better commissions for drivers and riders. I am not so sure that Uber has a very sticky customer base

I'm also not convinced uber eats will ever make money.
