Excerpt from Bloomberg-- "'It’s not surprising that Lyft is going public before Uber because in many ways they are in better shape to go public than Uber is,' said Arun Sundararajan, a professor at New York University’s business school and the author of 'The Sharing Economy.'

Excerpt from The Wall Street Journal -- "Messrs. Lukianoff and Haidt take on the problems of campus culture through the lens of safety—not that we have too little of it but that we have too much.

In the study, people surveyed saw easy-to-calculate discounts as being bigger discounts than difficult-to-calculate discounts -- even if they two were equal."

Once, somebody can get forgiven, twice, it's much, much worse."
