The meta right now seems to be "the right way to build".

There is no right way to build a company, other than:

1. Build something people want
2. Charge (someone) money for it
3. Don't break the law

The last two are easy, the first one is hard.

> Build something people want

This itself is 3 things:

1. Product
2. Team
3. Market

For big outcomes, only the 3rd one matters. cf.

Isn't Uber a counter-argument for "don't break the law".

See my reply to Zach. Taxi regulations != state or federal laws

FTC is a federal agency. It’s actually quite clear.

Other countries are a different story. Most companies don’t have operations in other countries so it doesn’t matter.

Another way to say: don’t commit felonies. A taxi regulation does not have felony penalties.

Oh, well, then we start questioning if FTC regulations are state or federal laws, if taxi regulations are laws in other countries where Uber has presence, etc. Does not look so clear it can be a rule.
