Mily lets talk about what an authoritative source is and how someone gamed the system and reliable way in this case it was not to categorise video. Google. We talked to them.

Es stop the focus for google is promising toisers, hire 10,000 people to train systems, do content lot of that is to make advertising friendly. Majorave a push, they had issues with top creators, theres a push for creators to and conscious videos to demonstrate a lot of people videos are not conspiracy theorists. What is next. You think google could take stronger action, not just trending, but of removing it from the site. This morning they took down they had in the past year took town more videos than they have pulled ads. I think they are having an intense debate about where to the line. Emily are they hiring to make human le judgments and not relying on the algorithms. Google has 450 hours of minute. Uploaded every its possible to look at all these things, they cant hire that. To do trending seems to be a natural fit for a human editor. Know they have not made the decision. Whenever there are big news events like this. Having a human team to koourate. Theyve been resistant to that. Look at the problems, theres a lot of facebook problems with a year ago, and a before the election they were and cized for favouring, not favouring conservative content.

Listen on the radio app. This is bloomberg. Emily 39 a share after the target boofed a bid. Down from the best and final bid of 82. All other terms in the proposed are unchanged. Response is that they made an inadequate offer, and worse. Vote next month after months of testing uber launching a new feature. Uber express pool. The st new product for company in three years, it is bringing a change to the legal model. And cuts the hassles of detours, easier for ups drivers and as check for the passengers. Talk to us about how express i l or pool express works have heard it both ways, how it is different from uber pool. Sure. It is express pool. We ask riders to walk a little to wait a little in order have a better ride. Its both more affordable to tem. We can match more efficiently nd the rider is straighter and faster. Emily how many trips in the us actual uber pool checks . Any moment well cross a pool trips, which is obviously a milestone that we re proud of for a product that launched a little over three years ago. Rriving in 16 cities in the United States, uber pool makes up 20 of the rides. Of hat are the percentage people that request pool trips who get matched. I dont have the exact statistic. But typically what we are trying to do is get three people into the car at the same time. Because thats where we have the most efficient ride, allowing us to offer the most affordable price. All of us experienced the rides passenger e the only in the car on a pool. That may feel great for the ride. E over time it means we cant offer an affordable price. About the walking that we added, it increases the had of a high quality match. The i was looking at coverage, gizmo saying honestly, take a bus. How do you respond to that. If you we test the headline its a good article talking between distances express pool and a bus. E think that Public Transit is a wonderful complement and we are a complement to it in terms do. Hat we Public Transit works well on high capacity routes where you vehicles, and express pool works better because its dynamic in terms of it picks you up and drops you off and in terms of the route. Complicated crosscity journeys that pick up and drop half mile from a Public Transit office. Emily its a controversial service. Riders love it. You can get a ride cheaply. Necessarily like it. How do you find a happy medium. Drivers break the dont love it into two elements. And rs are worked hard would like to make more money, they introduce pick off and drop specific to pool. To pay them for the effort they o to make pool work as a service. Looking at the nonmonetary component. There has been some things that have done in terms of how we manage the service, making it ass fun to be a driver, such the routes and detours and backtracking that we see, as we a match between two riders who were not compatible. Ne of the reasons we want to launch express pool is not to make it better for riders, but well. Rs as if you feel uncomfortable sitting in the back seat of a ride. Waiting for it to make its way driver he block, your doesnt feel better. Money does uber make on uber pool. Thats difficult to break out. We are pleased with the progress we make as profitability as a company. Saw some public financials, the curve is nice. Nice. E are excited that by making uber pool more efficient request xpress people, we can continue on the path of profitability. Emily how much does uber pool to the financial performance, and how much is riving a mission of more democratised transportation. . We realise uber is not a charity. We are definitely not. We are a very commercial business. About uber is the combination of the mission of and g cities work better provide transportation, i think it will be profitable business clearly a and pool is large comment component of that, grow. E that will emily as uber looks more like does transportation, how the Company Think about city services. They say that in five years like to see uber running bus systems and city services. Ation does this move closer to that vision . There are things that we are good at doing, one is providing highly Dynamic Transportation options. The other is building software. Both of those things are compliments to what Public Transit agency suggests o, swi to have huge infrastructure, and move millions of people efficiently. There are many different ways to partner with cities in the future. We have a pilot with the city of incinnati, where we are starting to explore with the sit and transit agencies, different that uber can compliment Public Transit. A terms of coordinating at data level and uber taking on some of the lower ridership that are not particularly efficient for Public Transit to run. Joined a month ago. As the toast went viral, kicking off a long series of dramatic moments and leadership changes. New, you know, the new c. E. O. Is there. What has that been like for you as a new employee, and what do guard . Nk about the new i chose to join uber a jeer go because i knew many good people there who were working hard on the future of transportation. And they were people i believed in. It was a mission that excited me. Last a tumultuous year year for sure. Im committed that a lot of that mirror, and ar view the good people can work on the future mission of transportation. Think it has been a phenominal addition to uber, and excited to work with a company where he is c. E. O. Emily uber product manager, thank you for joining us and breaking it down we here from cofounder chris fair about his book shot, and how Silicon Valley and s back on Income Technology weekdays, this t is bloomberg. Emily spotifys cofounder running the same place as and googment. They aim to hold control of heir service when it goes voter nextng super month or early april, shares valued at up to 20 billion. Facebook cofounder chris was at the epicentre of the start of one of the Biggest Companies in the world. We caught up with hughes for a episode of bloomberg studio, and began a conversation on income ew book inequality called fair shots, stores this week. The reason i lead you to it, my story is indicative of an unfairness at work in the american story today. Three years worth of work can lead to half a billion in should give ards, people pause. Particularly in a moment when wages have not budged in four years, creating jobs, parttime contingent flexible jobs. We talk a lot about robots in the future. Coming apart and income ecalty is getting worse. Be honest ant to about the unfairness at work, in a conversation about how guaranteed income could restore the American Dream. Just being devils advocate, why should we listen a 1 er. Im has a spokesperson for nyone but myself, im here to channel a lot of conversations that i have had over the past couple of years, and a lot of up with at i grew telling my that the American Dream is on life support. You cant now, when find 400 in the case of an emergency, which is what half of say, you cant find the cas money to look gas for a job or childcare or health care. We know that the economy is a lot of us, the eft and the right, are casting doubt about what can we do about it, to change it. Where the guaranteed income xoms in as a comes in tool. Powerful emily as you came into wealth, how did that shape your ideas inequality, did you why your own personal transition . Well i mean, i think particularly in my case, where we started facebook, and facebook, over the course of decade, grew and grew and grew and i saw my own growcial holdings grow and and grow, for the first year i worked. For several years after, i at the company. On different projects. Obama, andr president yet the wealth kept growing. It gave me pause saying what is the source of this . It the actions we are taking or Major Economic forces appening behind the scenes, in a personal way, after maybes po my husband and i decided to give away the vast majority of the money, because it feels like only way to address the unfairness that is created in the first place. Tell me about the discussion. When you are fortunate. And you you come into this kind of wealth, you think about why dides it come from, get and what do i owe other people. Growing up where i did, with my family and my husband with his family, theres a sense we should think about what we owe another. Mily Silicon Valley has created an incredible amount of tools and wealth, and some say of omes with a sense entitlement for some of the richest people. Do you think Silicon Valley is arrogant these days . I think theres a sense, particularly among people who lot of money a lot of the time, and im not speaking just of Silicon Valley, germ, that its all because of ones own actions. Tend to underestimate the power of the macroeconomic forces behind them. Automation, e globalization, the rise of finance. Case, over the course of the 10 years before it made over , it 500 million in venture capital. Financing was not possible 2030, 40 years ago, of financial se changes we made in the 1980s, to enough n industry large to support that at the amount that everyone elses wages are flat. Billions. As raised i. Exactly, exactly. Facebook is not the only company. Trend. So i think its important to recollection that there are many things that are happening in our culture, government, society, that are creating this wealth in any one individuals contribution to it. Prides on valley often ricocracy,being a mer do you think that . We love the board dea of meritocracy, the idea that one person can work their way up and be successful. Zuckerberg said in a speech at harvard last spring, the fact taught himself to code in high school, and his parents luckybs was an incredible break that made it possible for him to be at harvard and us to collectively. Think that theres its a complex interplay between the role of luck and the role of work. Honest eed to be more that all of these successes are both. Bination of Emily Facebook cofounder chris hughes.
