Here's an example of contractors requiring fingerprinting in a highly regulated environment pushing them to 'covered employee' status. The requirement of fingerprinting does not in and of itself make some an 'employee&#x

The real issue for Uber and Lyft may be the fact that fingerprinting puts them closer to needing to classify drivers as employees instead of contractors. They could surely solve any friction around fingerprinting, but requiring drivers to b

I am very pleased to see other HN readers mention the enneagram. A good friend told me about it a couple of years back and I can honestly say it has helped me better understand myself and others. I see lots of 3's in startups, along wi

I'm curious, is the possibility that the passengers are still alive being discussed by any major news outlet? I have read tons of coverage but the authors implicitly state the passengers are lost.

I would love any suggestions for making tweets look less "spammy". We face that problem daily.

The company is not required to engage with us in anyway to access a complaint. And specifically in this case, they ignored not only tweets coming from PublikDemand but from me as well. We simply help the consumer get attention when they wer

They were most likely upset that I called their emergency press line in order to get the mother help. After I gave United the contact information for the mother they refused to talk to me further. They blocked us the next morning.

I agree! I am not sure why they have yet to learn from the past.

They have claimed they did not block us but I know for a fact that it was someone on their team and not Twitter.
