It's funny seeing all these people vehemently defend their $15/mo. In the bay area, where this launched, that's like what, two beers at a bar? I don't get the money argument at all. Negotiate yourself a $15/month ra

Lolwut, what kind of cars do you drive that them lasting 70k is incredible?

I don't think that's what he's trying to say. He's probably referring to the fact that unless you're black/poc/whatever you're not allowed to have an opinion; it's the blacks/pocs/whate

Out of curiosity, is there a way for a non-citizen to vote? I see the logic of requiring you to be a citizen, but it does nevertheless feel a little unfair -- I live here too, and I pay my taxes like everyone else.

Yeah, back when I got the ticket I was really angry (can you tell from my comments on this topic? :P) and considered doing this. The problem is that regardless of how angry petty bullshit injustices like this make me, it is simply not worth

Heh, please, don't defend these POS. They're cheating and they know it. I got a ticket for the car being "double parked"; I sent a picture of how it was parked (right next to the curb in a legal spot). It was a rainy day

We need this in SF. SFMTA ticketed my car for no reason before; I tried their "appeal" process, only to get a response that sounded like they didn't even read what I said.

I would imagine it's partly an emotional thing; it's hard to blame the pilot or think that the pilot was negligent, when clearly any error he makes can be fatal to him as well as the passengers. Whereas if a doctor makes a mistake

We are talking about universities here, presumably, since the title is "college sex-assault trials belong in court". So, dismissing them as an "exception" is neither helpful nor relevant. I have no idea about how fair th

It was set up there precisely because there was a lot of water available... it used to be an oasis. Las Vegas is probably way better at water management than say the Bay Area, which most people don't criticize for this, even though we

To say that it is a "bit slower" than an Aventador is very misleading. In a 0-60 straight line drag race, maybe. But that's not particularly hard to do (that's why Mustangs are cheap), and also not the point of any serio

From the video linked, it sounds like they can (legally) switch bikes during the race, so they could just switch back to a legit bike close to the finish.

It's an interesting article, but how exactly is "skill" measured for things like [1]? I couldn't find a description of this in the article or the linked paper (that I skimmed). Furthermore, how does this account for pers

Oh, yes of course. I meant to say that I came to this conclusion for the super cheap pools which this question was about (Lyft had (has?) $5 rides in SF, Uber had something similar).

When I talked to drivers, I came to the conclusion that the drivers are paid more than the passengers are charged, which makes sense. Uber makes huge losses every year. The hope is that this can last long enough before the drivers can all b
