WeWork's filing for bankruptcy would mark a stunning reversal of fortune for the New York-based company that was privately valued at $47 billion in 2019 and a black spot for investor SoftBank that sunk billions.

    Uber and AirBnB next.

    I still don’t quite understand why a “taxi” and a “hotel” company are considered tech companies.

      Because they both disrupted their respective markets with little more than an app.

      I don’t quite understand how MargotRobbie is on Lemmy moderating an android community.

        Because I have way too much free time now that I’m on strike, and it’s also really funny.

          squints Not sure whether to be star struck or suspicious. If it’s really you, I hope you get the word out about Lemmy IRL, so we can grow this place. Can’t think of a better Lemmy spokesperson than Barbie.

            How does MargotRobbie know so much about Visual Studio, C#, and Python?

            https://lemm.ee/comment/5424323

            Nothing in her bio implies a background in programming.

      The tech bit just seems to be the ability to slurp money out of other people’s industries, while avoiding all regulation and responsibility.

      You can stick the food delivery people with them.
