deepakhj··on Uber Co-Founder Travis Kalanick Said to Plan Sale of 29% of Stake
Craigslist and zimride (lyft) started carpool rides. Uber then launched the black car service. And then sidecar launched a service where people used their own car to drive customers. Uber did not invent the space on its own.
deepakhj··on History of AOL Warez
I was in the upper echelon in the scene and the mid 90s-late 90s were the golden days.

deepakhj··on A look at my BBS Software from '93
This brings back a lot of memories. I started in the bbs scene when my friend gifted a 1200 baud modem in 1992. I began trading warez on a 8088 xt 1mb ram 40mb machine. From the local scene in Los Angeles (818). I modified WWIV and ran my own bbs until my hard drive crashed and I eventually lost the source. I also got into war dialing pbx's so that I could call famous bbses in New York and Canada. I loved the style of bbs software like celerity and visionx and the art of acid and ice.

I eventually made it to the it scene where I had access to and ran the top ftp sites in the world.

I miss those days immensely.

deepakhj··on The $99B Idea: How Uber and Airbnb Won
Lyft (zimride) started the first carpool site. Sidecar started the first rideshare app. Uber used excess black cars capacity to start. I would say sidecar and lyft were pretty genius but Uber won the game.
