From the article..."As the video promoting the arrangement puts it: 'The best part: Payments are automatically deducted from your Uber earnings.' "

That's going to have the same problems as the "company store" scam where you are paid in scrip. This makes moving to another employer much harder, because of the debt to the current employer (and/or their business partners).

For high income earners, this is a benefit - novated leasing of cars is a popular way to reduce your tax bill.

For low income earners? I wouldn't call it a positive exactly...

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to check out our hardware startup Package Guard.

We would love any feedback and are here to answer any questions.

Hi,

What if thief takes everything, including Package Guard? Does PG has wifi connection lost alarm?

The PG connects to your home wifi and will alert if the package is removed.

Never thought about sending an alert if the PG is taken out of Wifi range. This is a great idea.

Sounds like a great opportunity for 20 employees of sidecar.

What's the link to your product?

I would guess the money is based on speculation that a larger company (dropbox, google, facebook) would purchase your company and add your feature to their existing product.

I like the line... "building penises out of dirt right now". Someone should put that on a T-shirt.

And wear it to PyCon...

(sorry, couldn't resist)
