      Nothing drives home the inevitable, accelerating mark of time like the fact that every time I hear the publication date of a book I’m looking forward to, it sounds impossibly far away, and then it suddenly happens.

      Looking forward to Super Pumped. Which has way better timing than the last Uber book, which came out right before the boardroom coup.

      I’m reading the new Uber book now. It’s hard to trust the author on new stuff, because he gets a lot of old stuff wrong—claiming that the App Store was the first time software could be distributed directly rather than through retailers. Did he miss the whole Web 2.0 thing?

      It’s annoying, because I *want* to believe that Travis raised a round from Mark Cuban after flaming him on a message board. But is it true?!

      I can’t tell if it’s a mistake or an anachronism that Kalanick got $2m after taxes from selling a startup, bought a house in SF, and had money left over to invest in startups.

      Tired: “Drop the ‘the.’ Just Facebook. It’s cleaner.” Wired: “Drop the ‘cab.’ Just Uber. If we call ourselves UberCab we’re clearly violating taxi regulations and we could all go to jail.”

      Best anecdote so far: a Google Ventures partner gets Travis a meeting with Larry Page, decided there’s no way Travis will make it to a 9am meeting in Mountain View, books him a room at the Palo Alto Four Seasons.

      At one level, spending hundreds of dollars to shift a 40-minute commute back a day makes sense if everyone involved has high enough opportunity cost. On the other hand, I can’t imagine booking a Manhattan hotel room because I couldn’t wake up early enough to commute from Brooklyn

      should this perhaps be analyzed as signalling ?

      Definitely signaling: they picked him up in a self-driving car. It’s just a hilarious combination of treating him like a baller (“Bro, they booked me a suite!” “Sweet!”) and infantilization.

      yep, but I wonder if what you (and I) see as infantilization might have been part of the point "we realize that your mind is busy thinking the Big Thoughts, so realize that we are here to help you with the penny ante crap" plays to ego as well
