Comment on: Free, unlimited cloud storage?
Lol no. That'll disappear as soon as someone uses it to store all the digits of pi or back up their entire 2PB home movie collection. And you *know* someone will do that.

Comment on: Uber Will 'Shut Down' in California If It Must Classify Drivers as Employees

They'll see if they can find a way to be profitable under the new rules before throwing in the towel, and *maybe* might consider operating at a small loss in areas with enough out-of-state visitors who they don't want searching for alternatives.
