What on earth would make you say this? There are plenty of people upset over this including myself and others that believe in free speech. This is unfortunately in the UK which doesn’t have the same protections as the US. This person would

What about killed by Google? I haven’t seen any product enhancements in Nest or Waze in YEARS. It’s the same goddamn product when so much more could be done. I feel stupid for going so in on Nest and seeing nothing enhanced whatsoever. Not

I’m pretty sure you actually have no idea what you’re talking about. Or you’re straight up lying. I have taken many 30 mins rides that cost me well over $30 and the entire cost is broken down in the app.

That is an extremely primitive definition of employee and wouldn’t work in many or most jurisdictions. They can elect to turn the app off whenever they want. When they want to drive then don’t have a choice. This is more flexible than taxi

I used an induction stove for 6 weeks and despised it. Maybe the one I used isn’t the same as what others are using but it would turn on and off over and over again and I found the temperature to be completely unpredictable. I hated it

“I find out that it’s going to take me 45 minutes to go five miles, and I’m going to get about $5 for the ride.” This is a lie. Drivers get paid for distance and time. They will be making more like $20-25 dollars.

Cancelling a ride destroys the entire system. It can’t be allowed otherwise what’s the point if drivers can pick and choose their rides? The point is they should be compensated fairly for it. If they simply don’t want to drive someplace the

There was no such thing as income taxes until world war 1. So taxes increased ridiculously for 50 years and have been decreasing, as it should, ever since. I believe in paying taxes but not to my own detriment. I pay more than my fair share

The teachers are thinking they are “teaching” them about power, but what is clear to me is the only power is the power of the teachers to completely take away the Lego even though the kids didn’t want it. That complete lack of agency only t

“For example, people in the contemporary control group weren’t tested for COVID-19, so it’s possible that some of them actually had mild infections.” I can’t believe such unthorough data but extremely alarmist headline is allowed in print.
