Wow. Uber single handedly made folks on ycombinator pro cab industry. The hatred I saw for the cab industry when Uber was announced or becoming successful was so strong that I am amazed at how grandly Uber fucked it up.

Practically though, Uber is still doing great and probably will be just fine even after this ruling. The traditional taxis are still bad and have never reinvented themselves.

View on HN

that doesn't make sense.

HN is pro Lyft but also pro cab?

I just think HN doesn't like Uber

Please don't do this. HN is a diverse community, and you choose to be a part of it. Casting all of HN in one bucket does a disservice to everyone.

It seems that the fallacy of characterizing a large community (e.g. reddit, HN) as a single entity capable of things like hypocrisy is becoming more and more commonplace.

you're missing the point. I'm not saying every single HN hates Uber.

But there's very common pattern of disliking Uber on HN.

note i didn't say the hate against Uber was underserved.
