- morkalork 1y agoIt's like when Vice spilled the beans on late nite Chinese restaurants serving "cold tea" after legal hours for alcohol. Completely ruined it for everyone. Some things don't need to be whistleblown.

- bsimpson 1y agoI feel this way about remote work. I've been working in tech since 2008. Nobody ever cared where anyone worked from. I've spent many summers digital nomadding. Then, the pandemic happened and some reporters started writing articles about it, as if it was invented during the pandemic. HR departments got wind, and now many companies have formal policies about how many days you're supposed to badge in, or how long you're allowed to work remotely. There's a journalistic trend churning out bullshit stories about "quiet quitting" et. al. and I hate it. Executives take them at face value and make reactionary policies based on some filler they read online.
- duxup 1y agoThe quiet quitting stories were weird as the definition varied wildly from people who did no work to people who were just miffed about work…
- Loughla 1y agoThe articles I read just made the people seem like they were doing their job as the description was written. I still don't understand that whole thing.
- radpanda 1y ago> Nobody ever cared where anyone worked from Was it really this way in general or just with some little startups who didn’t mind taking risks? As far as I remember employers always cared where remote workers were for tax and other reasons (sanctions, compliance with local regulations, etc).
- recursive 1y agoIf your thing requires everyone to agree that it shouldn't be whistleblown, you should probably start preparing for the whistle.
- underseacables 1y agoAny luck?

- socalgal2 1y agoEasy solution, robotaxis know who call the car and have cameras. They can fine and/or ban people who abuse the taxis. And yes, it's abuse. Without enforcement the interiors of robotaxis will look like telephone poles covered in stickers for causes, ads for bands and events, ads for sex workers, etc...
- _bin_ 1y agoThere is literally no reason to do this for a piece of paper vs. for a sticker or a flyer that's stapled on. The core difference is the papers will be there for a day, a few hours, then go. The telephone pole stuff stays there forever and just builds up. One is vandalism, the other is literally just leaving something behind.
- socalgal2 1y agoThere is every reason to do this. Because it affects the next customer in a negative way which dissuades riders. I for one will rate my ride as 1 out of 5 stars if it's not clean and has flyers/ads/notes left by previous riders. Will you enjoy it if you get into a car and it's got a bunch of Maga propoganda or if you get in ar with your children and it's got a bunch of flyers for sex workers? Both are vandalism. If you can't leave the car clean then you shouldn't be allowed in the car except in exceptional circumstances.
- trhway 1y agoThe legend has that back in USSR journalists published extremely critical piece in a national newspaper about some car drivers using headlights flashing to warn oncoming drivers about hidden traffic police speed checkpoints, and the next day and since then the whole country was doing that.
- golergka 1y agoStill is.
