First, India continues to be a very important market and Uber’s performance in India has been stronger than ever of late.'"

'The perception is that negotiators are born and not made. People think that it’s about negotiating quickly on your feet. That’s not real negotiation. Really good negotiation is boring to watch, [because] lot of it is dependent on preparation.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "...Children especially don't have the resources, the capacity, to control themselves in the same way that adults do. Having said that, adults spend four hours a day on screens and that is growing every year. That has grown from three hours two years ago. So I think it is a concern for adults as well, but especially for children who need to be guided by adults."

His course was a gamble: three years ago it started with 30 students; this year 100 are enrolled. Next year, between 200 and 300 will take it."

You have to decide whether that’s an effective prediction or not,' Simon said."

Excerpt from Bloomberg -- “One of the most obvious events would be an indictment of the president. I’ve asked my friends, though, and they don’t seem to think it’ll be a very volatile moment. Maybe that’s consistent with the idea that volatility, or lack thereof, comes from Washington. I think more about geopolitical events: deterioration of conditions in the Middle East or North Korea. What really scares me the most is a cyberthreat. That countries could get into our computer system. That could produce a lot of volatility and damage our system.”

It's also a big win for Softbank because they are consolidating their position as the investor to go to globally for on demand mobility. They have majority or significant stakes in all the large ride sharing platforms in the world now."

Those liabilities rose with the falling stock market and lower interest rates after the financial crisis."
