Looks like they don't like hackernews either, they are redirecting it to http://imgur.com/32R3qLv now. If you open it up separately you can get to the article.


(That's because it's owned by jwz, who's known to redirect links from HN.)


From the article:

"Uber just sprung on us that they are no longer offering the service of "deliveries". Now they offer the service of "integrated orders and deliveries". And only that.

That's right: if you want Uber to deliver your food, you also have to let them have your online ordering business.

And they gave us a luxurious six week deadline on this.

So Uber managed to get a monopoly in one industry -- restaurant food delivery -- and is leveraging that monopoly to eliminate the competition in a completely different industry -- online food ordering."
